For those of you that knew me a few years ago...I'm sure this is a big surprise. I was one of those people that was SURE I didn't want to have any kids. Really sure....

Or so I thought...I guess life just started happening. I started not having so many deadlines and finish lines around the corner (undergrad, vet school, internship, get a job, move, etc...) and life just started slowing down and falling into place.

Then I reached a point where the days were turning into weeks, the weeks into months and I thought to myself, "Is this it? This is it for the next 50 years?" And so I suppose the natural sequence of events found their way to me....a little late in life but now I'm embracing the path towards pregnancy...

....even though it has not been embracing me.
Here's my journey.

Oh, the waiting....

Well, first of all, I've figured there's really no way I'll be able to keep this pregnancy a secret for the first few "safe" months since everyone at work knows what I'm doing (what with the Dr's appts and missed work and all...) and the fact that I'm trying, as the Dr. says, "to already act as though you're pregnant"." That means for me, avoiding surgery, anesthetic gases, volatile compounds, chemotherapeutic drugs, etc, etc....


And the obvious fact that I've started a blog about this exact subject in itself doesn't lead much to secrecy :-) (Much to my mother's chagrin, but I told her that if all of work was going to know, (HAS to know for safety reasons) then my friends/family can know as well :-) 

However, now this part of the waiting game seems like it's going to take forever.  I'm trying not to stress, trying to stay relaxed and hopeful.  Trying not to think that the odds are against me but rather THIS was the time it'll work!  No stress....


I have a couple of weeks of "not stressing" until I can find out if this "worked" or if we get to do it all over again next month!   Meanwhile, there's not been much that I can put on the blog, since there's not much that's going to be happening.  I've been trying to imagine all sorts of phantom sore breasts, miniscule morning nausea and potential fatigue.  The most I've gotten thus far is a zit on my face (yeah, about that whole "no stress" thing... :-)

Until next time...

  1. Been thinking about you since last Friday. Was Randy able to go with you to the procedure? When will you know if it worked? My bet is on "Moore feet" happening in 2010! Love Bonnie Sue
