Everything continues apace. I have the bionic nose, bloating and a thousand other symptoms. I found an old friend’s blog today and am strangely thoughtful and quiet.
I’m also strangely nervous for the baby at the moment. I’m 7wks4days and I need to see the heartbeat soon and get an “all clear” from the doctor.
These are the moments when I’d like to have a home ultrasound machine. Heck, even a doplar would do.
Less weepy, more bloaty. My waist is very square right now. It’s strange.
I’m also officially four weeks tomorrow. I’m wondering if I can wait a whole nine months to meet this baby. Then I also wonder how the heck I’m going to raise a child. Isn’t there some sort of written exam for this?
The Weather Report: Generally nausiated. Speck is where he should be, and all is right with the world. I never thought I’d be so happy to feel so urpy.

The Pregnancy Justice League
I’m waiting for them to contact me. I am now capable of producing more sweat and mucus than anyone in history has ever produced. I can smell things from a mile away. I can grow my boobs and hair with speed unparalleled.
It all has to be good for something. I’ll let you know when the Emergency Red Phone rings.
I’M PREGNANT!!
Remember all my worry? It’s gone. Poof! I’m getting the birthday baby that I wanted and The Troublemaker is over the moon.
The doctor confirmed the pregnancy this afternoon. I might die from joy. I just might.
This has just turned into a pregnancy blog. YAYAYAYAYAYAYYAyY!
The Weather Report: Interesting tidings in on the temperature front today. Could be. Probably not, but looking more hopeful. Emotional situation is slightly excited, but trying not to get too excited. Period possible any minute.

Welcome aboard The Mindfuck Express! WoO WoO!
The Mindfuck Express is here to serve all your twiddling needs on the trip from Ovulationland to Babyopolis or Periodville. Upon entering the opulent Ovulation Station you will be treated to hours of images of fallopian tubes, blastocysts, swimming sperms and the faint sound of implantation wafting over the loudspeaker. The train departs regularly at any time, day or night. All trips are of indiscriminant length. Most folks just can’t help but board!
The service at MFE is impeccable. From the seats being much too small and taking corners at heightened speeds, we do our best to raise and lower your hopes and create mental distress with every “chugga chugga” down our railroad track. After all, the more worrying and rocky the trip, the more likely the tracks will lead to Babyopolis! Right?
The MFE makes regular stops in:
*Idon’tcare Town
*Drunkville
*the Gyn Hamlet.
Train connections may be made in:
*Babyopolis: connecting to Pregnoia
*Finale Farm: connecting to Adoption Stress Express and the Nokids Bullet
The MFE connects with the Surprise Pregnancy Freight at the SPF station.
All trains from Periodville are MFE trains.
ALL ABOARD!
Many thanks to the wonderful women at TPW-TTC for most of the terms and ideas above.
The Weather Report: Could be. Probably not. Expecting period any day now. Oscillating from anxious to hopeful to anxious.

So this is it. Why is it that the first posts are always the most difficult?
Here’s where I am at the moment:
I have been temping in a general way, but not enough that I bothered to on the eight days I had off this month. My luetal phase seems to be normal, typically, and my cycles are about 27 or 28 days. If I’m ovulating I appear to be doing it around the 13th to 15th day of my cycle.
I didn’t temp during the crucial period when it might have gone up this month. I was sleeping in blissfully. Yesterday was at 97.3 which is fairly low and tends to indicate an impending period, (And if all those rat-bastards are to be believed I might be a little cranky a la PMS), but this morning it was at 97.7. There is usually variation and I often wonder how much variation can be had due to outside influences. It was -20 with wind chill today and we piled on the extra blankets last night.
One of my friends at The Perfect World TTC had her temp go back up this month after thinking she was out of the game, and this morning she got two lines (YAY Lila!). Wouldn’t it be funny if the first month I start an angsting blog about TTC I fall pregnant? But don’t worry. I’d still have plenty to angst over regardless.
I’m adding a link to my chart from the good folks at Fertility Friend. You won’t see much this month due to the non-temping. Hopefully next month I’ll have a nice, pretty chart.
At the very least, Welcome! It’s good to see you.
