tales of the sleepless and jet-lagged

How come I mostly blog when I'm cranky? Must because I have things to get off my chest. So our alleged "oops" last month resulted in a BFN. I was both disappointed and relieved at the same time. In equal measures. It really wouldn't...

Happiness comes in bunches

WOW. After the way the past few weeks have been, today is just amazing. First of all, I got and took the job that I posted about last time. (Same company, different project.) I consulted with all of my "working mom" gurus, and determined to...

Maternity leave worries before there's "maternity"

Bah. So I've posted before about not being totally happy in my current work, and looking for a new job in a different area of the same company (the pros of a BIG company). Well a couple weeks ago, I had a great interview with a really exciting division...

sad today

I'm sad and it's stupid and i shouldn't be sad, which just makes me feel worse and it's like a death spiral of sadness today. DH is on another of his two-week business trips to Hawaii. I went to Honolulu over the weekend to be with him...

(Disappointing) Relief

I have been freaking out for the past week that I am pregnant. Irrational? Yes. Well... probably. As I mentioned last post, we were strong. We used protection on my two most perfect fertile days of a great looking cycle. And then my temps went up and...

Diving the plan

Well we did it. The will overcame desire and we DTD protected this weekend, both times. He said, "we probably should, right?" and I knew he was right. We had talked about it. Talked about the pros and cons. In the end, it's practical - timing...

Rule #1: Don't Be Stupid

So, DH is coming home from his business trip on Saturday. I've been consumed with thought of ML to him again. Unprotected, au naturale, and call it TTW on CD14 with probable O CD15-18. Buuuuut, I went back and looked at the data and recommendations...

Fortune

My fortune cookie from my chinese noodle dinner last night: "An unexpected event will soon make your life more exciting." First reaction: One can only hope! Second reaction: I'm not sure I can handle more excitement than I've already...

There's an order to things...

This is what my DH says every time I get baby fever. "There's an order to things... first we get married." Well, yes. We did that. Then: "There's an order to things. First we get married, then we find a house where we can settle...

All These Little Earthquakes

When last I wrote, I was considering making some changes at work. We've basically decided to go with plan B (not applying for a new job at a different company, TTC in May). While of course I'm thrilled about TTC in May, work still sucks. I've...
