| 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

I’ve never experienced loss, and I’m very thankful for that. There have been people in my life that have passed away, but I’ve never had to attend a funeral of someone really close to me. I’ve never had to feel the joy of loving someone unconditionally and then have them taken away. I’ve never had the excitement of a pregnancy only to have it disappear. I am truly grateful for those things.

Most of the time I can pull off green. My eyes, skin tone and hair actually look really good in this color, but other times, when I’m green on the inside, it’s not a good look. There are several Conceive bloggers that have made a big announcement, and I really, truly am excited and happy for them. I know it’s been a rough road for some of them, and it just gives me hope that one day I’ll get to make that announcement. After hearing their news, I actually sat back and smiled for them. Now, I’ve never met Johanna, Stephanie or Jennifer in person, but I felt like I was hearing good news about a good friend.

Married in 2005, my hubs and I wanted to wait a couple years before having children. Then the bug bit in early 2008. After several months of trying, I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. Then after a year of trying, I was then diagnosed with PCOS, and the hubs was diagnosed with low sperm motility. Still trying to get pregnant after 15 months, we’re making it through each day with the help of our fur children (Taider and Comet), some tears and talks, but also a few laughs.
