TTC #1, C#4, CD#29

Well, here I am, waiting VERY impatiently. This time of the month is so funny -- I want every day to go by so fast to get to testing/AF day. I will probably test on Saturday, if I can wait that long. I feel optimistic this month and I don't know why. To be honest, I think we missed the timing. But I still like to feel optimistic. And I have a bit of a reason why.

I have been entering my temps into my Fertility Friend software. When I entered today's temp, FF said -- "Possibly triphasic on day 26." I'm on day 29. It jolted me upright! Now I know that this doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it got my heart a-pumpin! As I'm sure all of us have found - I pay attention to each and every "symptom." The last couple of days I have felt very crampy, sort of like AF coming on. The waistband of my pants is driving me nuts -- I weighed myself at the gym and I weigh the same. But I even had to undo the top button the other day and I never do that. And they're not even really tight -- they're bugging me is all! AF isn't due until Sunday. I probably O'd on day 19 and my temps have been up a full degree over my post-O temps since day 26.

So now I have to wait. Luckily I've been very busy at work. I work for an advertising agency and we're working on a lot of our new campaigns. I did a really fun photo shoot over the past couple of days -- I can't wait to see how the ads will turn out! And I've been finishing my quilt in the evenings. I took a quilting class last weekend and all I have left is to finish sewing the binding on. This is by far my least favorite part. It takes forever and is so fiddly -- I wish that I could send out this part to finish off the quilt!

DH and I have been dying to get a new vehicle. We already have a perfectly good two-year-old car plus a beater for a second vehicle. But we live on top of this huge hill and we are always traveling into the mountains, and we'd like a 4WD. We really like the new Mazda Tribute and I test-drove it the other day and fell in love. And those Zoom Zoom ads really make me smile. But the lease would be about $50 a month too rich for us. Sigh ... someday!

This weekend I'm going shopping with a girlfriend. Yay -- fall fashions! I'm always reluctant buying much as I get that little niggling "What if" in the back of my head! So I buy things a little big and say they'll (hopefully) last through the first few months. I also have to vacuum out my car. If one more person comments on how dusty my car is -- they're going to get a smack! Of course, I really can't justify that, because it is pretty gross:)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Jenn
