TTC#1 C#3 (no surprise huh?) CD#71 (again, not a typo).
The cycle has been extremely weird. I can’t believe this is day 71. My last period was December 16. We are almost to March already. As I stated in my last entry, I spotted from about days 51-61. Strangely enough, on the night of day 63, I had EWCM. I just about fell over and died because I haven’t seen any of that in about 9-12 months. I also had some ovarian discomfort associated with it which lasted only a day or so. Why the EWCM??????? I have no clue. Anybody who wants to give me some ideas is free to talk on my board. I no longer have any spotting, I no longer have any EWCM, I no longer have anything… including a period! Admittedly, I’m under a huge amount of pressure right now. Maybe once some of that stress is eliminated, my body will relax.
Ok… on to the good news… and it is twofold! My condo sold!!!!!! The story behind it is really weird, but it reminds me that God is in charge here and things happen in His time.
On Monday (Presidents Day), my real estate agent took my husband and I out to look at houses. I wasn’t having the best attitude that day because I didn’t want to find THE house and then be disappointed because my condo hasn’t sold. We already went through that disappointment once last month. There is basically nothing we can do until our place sells. Well, the second to the last house we found ended up being THE house. It’s a big four-bedroom house with a fenced-in yard on a culdesac and it is everything we have been looking for… and for the exact price that we were approved for. My husband walked in and basically said, “I love this house. It’s mine. I don’t care what has to happen, I WILL have this house". I refused to get excited, although I immediately pictured us there with a family. I told him I didn’t want to get excited because our place hadn’t even had a single bite on it. My agent looked at me and said, “No more of that negative energy. Your place will sell… we’ll get an offer tonight, I can just feel it.” I was skeptical but told her I was glad she had the faith because mine was severely lacking. The home had only been on the market less than a month and had had no offers.
Well… guess what? The next night, we got the offer on our place and we accepted it. We then put an offer on the table for the new home… which had to be negotiated twice… but we got it and signed all the papers. Closing is at the end of March. We will be doing our structural inspection this coming Friday. It really is our dream home…and we have already decided which room will be our baby’s room… once our baby decides to come. It’s a wonderful neighborhood right near a lake and great schools.
The other part of my stress stems from the fact that I will definitely need to quit my regular full time job and go full time with the agency. I need to do this because by working for the agency, they would pay my mortgage! I have mixed feelings about doing this, but I know I need to. It’ll be nice because I’ll work less hours than I am now and make a ton more money doing so. It will also allow me more time in my new home to put things together and get set up. I’m really excited. Please everyone keep your fingers crossed for us that nothing goes wrong between now and closing!
Well… that is my saga for the week. I’ll write more next week. Here’s wishing lots of baby dust on all the ladies here!
