Lea's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
August 4, 1999
Hello there, how is everyone? AF was due to arrive
for me yesterday (on a perfect 28 day cycle) and there
is no sign of her yet. Not that I normally have a
perfect cycle! I don't really have any strong
feelings towards this cycle so I suppose I will just
have to wait and see.
There really has not been much going on down here lately. I was supposed to go to a cocktail night this coming weekend but it has been cancelled because there wasn't enough people to go. I am sort of glad because I really wasn't that keen to go anyway. It was supposed to be for DH's lacrosse club so I really did have to go if it was on. I was also concerned that if I hadn't got AF by then whether I would test to see if I was PG or not, so I would know if I could have a couple of drinks. As we would have had to pay $45 a head it would have been a big waste of money if I couldn't have had at least a couple of drinks. I am not a big drinker anyway, so there is no way that I would have got plastered. I am really funny about doing HPT's because I don't want to be disappointed if it is negative and waste the money when I can just wait for AF, but then I am normally a really impatient person and I want to know then and there. Also, DH is so "whatever" or "if you want to" that in a way, he makes me feel funny for wanting to test too soon. He doesn't do it deliberately, I just don't want him to think that I am being over zealous with this baby bug. Normally, I deliberate about it for so long that AF shows up before I get the chance to make a decision anyway. I do have the baby bug bad and DH knows that. I have already told him that we will be baby dancing like crazy this month and he just laughed at me.
Another thing that I have been doing is a cross-stitch of Winnie the Pooh on an afghan baby blanket. It is so cute! I thought if I start now that I may have it finished by the time that I actually have a baby. I tend to start a lot of things and then take a long tine to finish them. I am one of these people who are quite crafty (without bragging!) but I have to be in the mood to do something. I make a lot of my own clothes but I need the bug to do it. Normally I get all keen late at night. A couple of weeks ago, I decided that I wanted to make an evening dress for a wedding that we are going to in September. So while I was watching the footy (AFL) on a Friday night, I had 6 metres of material and lining laid out on the floor to cut out, and then I spent all of Saturday sewing it. The good thing was, I got it finished-- so now there won't be any last minute rushes to sew a hem or anything before the wedding! But that's me!
Well, I think I have rambled enough this time 'round. I will let you know if anything significant happens.
Positive thoughts to all.
Lea
