See how positive I am being? I'm trying so hard to not think about tomorrow. I buried myself in library stuff this afternoon. I feel pretty good about things in general, but I still have this feeling that it could all turn out to be too good to be true. My boobs are still sore though and my stomach seems to have developed a hole. I just cannot seem to fill it for more than 2-3 hours. At least the dining hall is open now, so I don't have to cook all of my meals at the moment.

In other news, we told the in-laws. We called to ask about our tomatoes because it was supposed to frost the other night (it did) and we had tons of green tomatoes but very few orange ones, let alone red. So we wanted to know how bad it would be if it did frost. Then Jon told them about the job and then because we always said we would tell them once I got a job, and if something is horribly wrong on Fri, we will want their support Jon told them. I had to go in the other room so I wouldn't be tempted to interject anything. All in all it went better than expected. Jon's mom had three mcs and so was more empathetic and doing less of her usual thing, which is to promptly point out all the possible problems inherent in anything we decide to do.

She doesn't put us down or anything, just always wants to make sure that we have thought everything through. With this she was much less like this than normal. She did change the way we are going to tell the sisters. We wanted to tell them all in person, so as they show up for xmas. The two younger ones will be there and we were going to tell them on xmas eve, and the oldest is coming down on boxing day so we were going to tell her when she arrived.

MIL nixed that. She thinks that B likes to be the oldest and won't take well to being told last. I find this all very amusing since I am older than she is, but there you go. I would have thought that being told in person is the nicest thing, and had the ulterior motive of not wanting to tell B on the phone as that gives her the opportunity to be negative (which I half expect her to be). If we tell her in person and everyone else is clearly happy about it then she won't have much choice in the matter.

Well, we'll see, and it all depends on what happens tomorrow morning.

I also wanted to add that I really appreciate all of the awareness work that Michele has been doing on IF. I wrote two letters to the editor of national papers here about fertility awareness last week. I can't do much about the US at the moment, but I am trying to work on it here. If anyone hasn't read Michele's info on getting IF awareness out I really encourage you all to do so. IF will only become recognized as the devastating problem it is if we are all open about it.

Okay off my soapbox now. Have a great week everyone.
