TTC#1, C#3 (still), CD#63 (no, that wasn’t a typo!)
It’s a snow day in Western Washington!! Call me sick but we get excited about this sort of thing. Here in my neck of the woods, snow is rare. We usually get a light dusting one or two days out of the year but last night, we got dumped on and it actually stuck! In the Puget Sound area, life comes to a screeching halt when it snows. EVERY school district is closed today except one! I just laugh. I think it’s hilarious! If it snowed any more than this, it would be a state of emergency around here. No one knows how to drive in it. There are always spin outs and accidents everywhere. I am just glad today is my regular day off. I work the whole weekend, which is a bummer, but I will be there. No snow days for nurses!
This has been a GREAT week. The “greatness” of it has really taken my mind off the fact that today is cycle day number 63!!! This is getting so old. I spotted very lightly on days 51-61 and then NOTHING. I hate it. I went to my OB/GYN office last month and at that time, she told me she would give me Provera if I wanted it. I was definitely against it at the time and didn’t even think twice about declining her offer. I just “knew” that AF would show up in the next couple of weeks. Well, yesterday, I actually found myself pondering the thought. I almost picked up the phone and called for it. I still might today. I am just being a chicken. Why? I don’t know. Maybe I’m just in denial. I just don’t want to believe that I might actually need medical intervention here. I know that sounds ridiculous but I just haven’t reached that stage yet. I don’t know what to think anymore.
On the TTC front, we decided to slow down our efforts anyway (not like we had a choice!) There is so much going on right now. I mentioned above that this week has been great. That was no lie!
Last Friday, DH and I attended a Valentine dinner/dance at our church. We had a lot of fun. Then from Saturday through Monday, we decided to go away for our anniversary! DH took me to Harrison Hot Springs, B.C., up in Canada! It was a blast. We actually went two years ago and loved it so much that we went back. With the exchange rate, we did really well financially. It was fun to just kick back, relax and enjoy. No laundry, no work, no dishes, no stress, no cooking, no cleaning. Just fun. If any of you live anywhere near this place, I highly recommend it. They knew it was our anniversary. When we got into our room, they had a card waiting for us, along with a plate of fresh bagels, cream cheese, and salmon. It was a nice gesture.
On Saturday, before we left for Canada, I went to the baby shower that I talked about in my last entry. I had a really great time. There were probably more than 30 women there! I got to sit next to the star of the show and got to rub her belly and feel the baby’s butt and back. It was so fun.
Valentine’s day was so nice. DH and I usually don’t celebrate it because our anniversary is 2/12. I had to work a twelve-hour shift that day. Well, at lunchtime, DH showed up on my unit at work with twelve long-stem roses in hand. It was so nice. It was a HUGE surprise. I am married to the greatest man on the face of the earth. He is the kindest, most wonderful soul. I wouldn’t trade him for anything. He is so understanding. He has totally mastered the art of listening. He loves me unconditionally. I am nauseatingly, SICK in love with him! Everyone at work is always jealous because I am always telling them about the wonderful things he does for me. He is the greatest.
Well, on the home front… my realtor told us that we may be getting an offer on our condo this weekend. I am torn about it. I really want to sell and am happy that someone is FINALLY interested in buying our place. Unfortunately, some things have happened to us financially that are going to make it near impossible for us to move. We are trying to borrow some money to do it, but I’m not sure how it’s all going to work out. We have basically just put it in God’s hands. We know this is the right thing to do, so we are just having faith that somehow it will all work out.
I guess that’s it for the week! Not much happening this coming week. We are getting together with some friends tonight to play games and eat. It should be fun. I work all weekend, which is a bummer but I’m hoping the time will go by fast! Wishing lots of baby dust on everyone!!
