February 28, 2001
TTC#1, C#9, CD#18
Well, all the signs were there -- I had a plus on my OPK, miniscule amounts of EWCM and a lot of cramping on my right side. And then today, my temperatures went up a degree. So I'm pretty sure I Od.
Plus, I know that we timed the BD at the best times -- we even threw in one last night for good measure! OK then I ask you --why don't I feel like this is it!
Part of me does -- I know once I post this entry I will go to a due date calculator and see what if. I will also probably check out a Chinese conception chart. But anotehr part of me doesn't want to get my hopes up. I think primarily because I had so little EWCM. Also because I've had eight negatives in the past!!
But I should be positive right?? It's much more exciting this way. I will tell myself that I am PG right now -- and I will let meself dream a little about those what ifs!
OK -- that's enough reflecting!
I went to one of those ceramics places on Sunday where you paint your own project. Well, I learned one thing there -- I am not artistic!!! I mean, I can quilt and do needlework and follow a pattern -- but if I try to paint something -- it's kind of funny. So I went with my lack of artistry and painted crazy fish on my project -- they're my Picasso fish!! It was a lot of fun though -- I get to pick up my fired piece tonight!
I also saw Billy Elliot last night -- what a great movie -- you were right Corinne!! I would recommend it to anyone. I loved the way they called ballet, bally. I can also see why the kid who played Billy won the equivalent of the Oscar in Britain. How people like Russell Crowe (not a fan!) get nominated over him amazes me! But I guess they don't ask me to vote!
I also started back at the gym this week. Yesterday I felt like my arms would fall off -- but today I feel much better. I'm going to take a day off today and go back Thursday and Friday. It's great having a good gym here at work!
Well, I'd better get back to work!
Postive thoughts to all!
Jenn
