A Nephew!

  This summer I will be a proud Auntie to a sweet baby Boy! My brother in law and his wife found out today that they are expecting a boy, which is so nice because they have a sweet baby girl already! I am SUPER pumped for them, and can't wait to find out what my sister is having in March!
Will I have 2 Nephews or another Niece and a Nephew this summer?  To be continued!
  In baby news on my end, we are still waiting. I am too anxious to test, tomorrow will be CD 40 and I have had LOTS of cramps, so I probably am out, but I guess we will see with what tomorrow brings! My temp is still high for me, which is great, but it usually gives me false hope.
I HATE THE WAIT!!

Time Marches On

     Man! It seems like FOREVER since I last posted! It has been close to two weeks, and it has just flown by for me! With me being sick, and then Ben being sick, and then Hubbs being sick, and a VERY busy time at work the time has just gotten away from me. We are all back to our regular selves, and I am in the busy "right before March break" time at school.  It also is about 6 weeks until 2nd term reports go home, parent teacher, and our school review! I know the next 2 weeks will fly by and I am so ready for March Break! A whole week home with my little pumpkin! Can't wait!
    To play catch up, on Feb 3rd, we celebrated my sister's 30th birthday, where she got her first ultrasound at 13 weeks. We also celebrated Valentine's Day in a quiet kind of way by ordering supper in and just hanging out as a family.  THIS week was my brother's 24th birthday and my grandmother's 84th birthday AND today is my sister in law's birthday. ANNNDDD next weekend we are going to a friend of Ben's 3rd birthday and it's my father in law's 83rd birthday! PHEW!!! Lots going on!
    On the baby making front, I am on CD 35 and I am 6DPO, which means I ovulated 1 day earlier than last cycle, and 3 days earlier than the cycle before that! The B6 may be doing it's thang!! Even with all the sickness running through our family, Hubbs and I managed to time our sex pretty well, so I am now just waiting to see if there will be a Halloween baby coming to join our family this year. My period is due Feb 22nd, so I will know for sure this time next week. 
     I must admit, I am starting to not really want to test because I just HATE seeing the negatives each time, so if I don't see anything going on by Wednesday, I will test on the weekend.  I really find it hard to test in the morning and then have to go to work. Yes the kids DO distract me, but at the same time, I still feel like my game gets thrown off, and I don't deal with the ups and downs as well.
    So, on CD 35 my phantom symptoms ARE: Lots of random cramps, a weird tight uterus last night, LOTS of CM (Barf, TMI, I know, but what do you expect! haha) and very sore little Nips. They are like knives! All of the above, however, may just be PMS symptoms for an impending visit. We shall see.

Mommy Guilt

I has it.

     My sweet baby boy has gotten my illness, or at least a combination of my stomach flu and a cold/regular flu.  It's not that he is sick that has induced the guilt, it's the fact that I sent him to the sitter's this morning so that I could go to work and be with other people's kids that has me guilt stricken.  I just couldn't take any more days off.  So I feel guilty. It is the plague of the working mother. I guess I will always feel guilty for something.  I just wish I could have stayed home and snuggled my boy while he felt like complete crap.  We spent much of the night together, Ben and I, with me clocking in abooouuuutt 2 hours sleep total, making it an extra hard decision to come to work. I was not fully in the game, but I was here, and I have a GREAT lesson plan for tomorrow just in case things get worse at home tonight.

    My being sick and now Ben being sick has really derailed my plans for sex every other day, but I have to focus on my health and Ben's right now, and as disheartening it is to know that I probably won't get pregnant this month again, I really do have to put Ben first. 
     As per Fertility Friend,  I *could* have ovulated on CD 15 which would be a first for me, so we will see what happens in the next 2 weeks I guess.  Today is CD 23, so normally I would have 17 days left in my cycle, lets hope I know something before that.
Fingers crossed for a more sleep filled night!

Sick in my Fertile Window

Boooo
that's me right now. Sick. However, I didn't have to take the day off because it's another snow day. So I didn't have to plan for a supply, which is always great.  The sucky part is that I have approximately 2 weeks now that I could potentially get pregnant, and the last thing I feel like doing is having sex.  I have chills so bad that I can't stop shaking, and I keep having hot flashes and I feel like I may either pass out, or throw up, I'm just now sure which one yet.
I repeat boooo...
