1dp3dt – DE
So it’s begun. The wait. OMG the wait, and how am I going to survive it?
I will start testing at 9dp3dt, as I always do. I will start panicking on 10dp3dt, as I always do. My first beta is on the 12th. I will try not to have a heart attack until then.
I cleaned out and started adding things to a ‘scrapbook file’ I’ve been keeping with each pregnancy. It felt oddly hopeful to toss out HPTs (yes, I know I’m gross to keep them around at all) and to take US pictures and put them somewhere else, somewhere more hidden. I added the ultrasounds from yesterday, and Ms DonorFantastica’s note, and put it on top of my bureau, where I can get to it easily. Since I’ll have to, you know, for every forthcoming US pix. Because I’m being stupidly, determinedly optimistic like that.
I’m taking today & tomorrow off work, and I’ll have an easy time of it until next week, really, what with New Year coming up & all.
My mother left the sweetest comment I’ve ever read on my blog yesterday, and my MIL called up to find out how everything had gone – I didn’t even realize she knew what we were up to yesterday. I am so blessed – my family could not be more supportive, and I know how rare that can, unfortunately, be.
And I’m currently hosting two perfect protosprogs. (Hey there, guys. One of you should pick a good spot & settle in now, ok?)
Ok? Because snotty nose, bruised stomach, lumpy PIO riddled ass – here we come, 2010! Ready or not, here we come.
i feel you on the 2ww — i go in for my beta on 1/6 and i am about to go insane
hope it goes quickly for you!
Hurray for all the pieces falling into place so perfectly! I’m thrilled to know that you’re PUPO, and there’s every reason to believe one of these itty bitty protosprogs will settle in for 38 weeks of growing and wriggling. I hope your TWW flies by. I’ve been satisfying my own need for hot beverages with a milk, honey, and almond extract concoction. It’s a tad sweet for my normal palate, but oh so good when it’s 8-degrees outside.
Congratulations!!! I’m rooting for you and protosprog!
Determinedly optimistic is good! Thinking of you daily!
I’ve been reading your lovely blog for a few months but never commented. Your optimism is contagious and although I don’t know you, I’m wishing all good things for you as you so clearly deserve them. What a blessing to your baby you will be! As a lovenox veteren myself, I promise it will not be so bad!
Good luck with the wait…never fun.. but excitement is just around the corner!
I absolutely admire your optimism. I think it’s fantastic and I’m sure it will pay off for you. Heaven knows you deserve it.
Wishing you a Happy, Healthy and (most importantly) a Pregnant 2010.
Hugs.
I’ve been living off of your blog lately, I’m so excited about this cycle for you! May your 2WW be blessedly short
Sending you and your perfect protosprogs the kindest 2ww thoughts…Thank goodness for mothers – so glad you have such great support. I love your idea of collecting items for a pregnancy scrapbook! Hoping one day I will be able to start one, too. Looking forward to the next update…
Love,
Maddy
So excited to get back from the break to this brilliant series of posts. Crossing all digits for 2010 to be the year for you.
Good luck, keeping everyting crossed for you.
Yay – so glad that this is here for you – and I am so, so hopeful.
I’m out here in the blogosphere cheering you on too girl. My beta will be a couple days after yours. I need you to get a BIG FAT POSITIVE to give me hope dammit. Good luck!!!
I’m on pins and needles…and I guess..you are too. (Sorry abotu the pun). Thinking of you and your future babies.
