I've Graduated

Written by Rebecca    Thursday, 04 March 2010 10:53    PDF Print E-mail
Dear Conceive friends,
I’m very sorry to have been missing for weeks. I have been a bad online buddy, but I just didn’t know what to write about. Now I can say it. I can say it out loud, and hope that you all will be so excited for me. Because friends, I’ve graduated. I’ve gone from wanting to conceive a child to actually conceiving and now carrying a tiny little miracle. The Hubs and I are just so excited to finally be able to tell our news to the world.
 

What’s the right way to tell?

Written by Rebecca    Wednesday, 10 February 2010 11:31    PDF Print E-mail
First off. I’m very sorry for not writing sooner. It’s been a crazy busy couple weeks around here. I don’t write about work, so I won’t get into it. It’s just been busy. So let’s get to it.
 

Waiting Stinks

Written by Rebecca    Wednesday, 20 January 2010 09:04    PDF Print E-mail
You could say I’m an impatient person. I don’t like waiting for things. The Hubs says this makes it very hard to shop for me for Christmas and my birthday because if I want something I go out and get it myself. It’s not that easy when waiting for a baby.
 

A New Year, But Still No Baby

Written by Rebecca    Wednesday, 06 January 2010 09:52    PDF Print E-mail
We made it through the holidays, and we survived unscathed for the most part. There were a few times that I about lost it, but I was able to pull it together. Christmas Eve service was tough. We haven’t been to church in awhile, and it was good to see everyone. It was hard to see all the kids though, and there are a lot of songs about birth and babies. So the tears almost overflowed, but I don’t think anyone noticed. Other than that it was uneventful.
 

Trying to Stay Positive While Trying to Get a Positive

Written by Rebecca    Tuesday, 22 December 2009 12:45    PDF Print E-mail
There is no news on our baby front at this time. I know that’s boring, but it’s true. We’re still going the all-natural route for now. That is if you don’t count the supplements and vitamins we’re taking. By natural I mean the two people fall in love and… kind of way. We figured since we are saving up for any sort of procedures that might be in our future, we wouldn’t give up on the old baby-making dance. Maybe we’ll get lucky, and one of those swimmers will find its way.
 

Wishing and Hoping and Definitely Dreaming

Written by Rebecca    Wednesday, 16 December 2009 09:48    PDF Print E-mail
Some would say I have an imagination. At least my parents did back when I was growing up. I would make up stories and act them out with my Barbie dolls and go into the woods behind my parents’ house and go on adventures taking me all over the world. Now my imagination runs wild every month. Since it is December, I’m dreaming about a Christmas wish coming true. The end of my two-week wait will be around Christmas, which means I’ll see the arrival of my not-so-lovely friend in red or maybe, just maybe, I’ll see those two pink lines.
 

Timeout is Officially Over

Written by Rebecca    Wednesday, 09 December 2009 00:00    PDF Print E-mail
This uncalled timeout must come to an end.

With the holidays, birthdays, auto repairs, and everything else going on in our lives, the Hubs and I haven’t really talked much about our journey to parenthood. It’s not like we talked about it all the time, but we really haven’t said anything about it over the past few weeks. But now we’re coming up on that time of the month where we should really be trying. So why am I wondering if we’re still trying?
 

Remembering What's Good in My Life

Written by Rebecca    Wednesday, 02 December 2009 10:00    PDF Print E-mail
I’ve been slacking in my posts lately, but I’ve been feeling a little down lately when it comes to the TTC stuff. Instead of being a Debbie Downer, and in the spirit of the holidays, I’ve decided to write about what I’m thankful for. I know this is about a week late but better late then never.
 

Not in the Mood

Written by Rebecca    Wednesday, 18 November 2009 10:49    PDF Print E-mail
No, I don’t have a headache, but I (we) just haven’t been in the mood for “trying” lately. I don’t know if it’s laziness, stress or what, but the past two months have been a bust. Yes, this is a post about sex – so any relatives reading or those squeamish about this sort of thing, might want to stop.
 

Feeling it Now

Written by Rebecca    Tuesday, 10 November 2009 09:45    PDF Print E-mail
In my last post I wrote about how I had never experienced a really close loss, but on Friday, the Hubs and I went through one of the toughest things we’ve had to deal with so far. Our cat, Comet, passed away suddenly. We are devastated.
