The Vacation Conundrum |

Ever since we have started trying to conceive full force, planning has been a huge thing. I’m not talking about planning for treatments or planning for the baby …I’m talking about planning our every day life. Things seem to revolve around my cycle now.......We are really living life in two week stages. The two weeks that work up to the treatment (which is full of crying from the last failed cycle, Clomid pills, and those fabulous OPK days) and the two weeks after (full of my craziness…enough said).
The real problem for us has been trying to plan a vacation. See Prince Charming and I haven’t been away, just the two of us, since our honeymoon. The past few years all vacation has been spent with family. This year will be different. I am going to be done with my Master’s degree program in a few weeks and we decided that we would take a trip to celebrate my new and expensive degree! Ok but where to go…..Here is where my crazy and irrational thoughts sneak in. I am normally petrified of flying and go under a huge amount of stress during it (especially if the turbulence is bad…we have all had THAT flight)…so that automatically dismisses any place that we would need to get to by plane. Why you ask? Because I PLAN on getting pregnant! Yes it’s true that I have planned on getting pregnant for three and a half years now…but this is it! This is my time (and my birthday is just around the corner, my biological clock is ticking louder each day I inch closer to thirty). So I have to plan “just in case” My “just in case” vacation planning was driving me (and everyone around me) crazy for about two weeks. We had it narrowed down between Canada and a cruise to the Caribbean out of NY. I went back and forth for days on this issue (including back and forth to the library…what!?! I never said I was normal). What did I decide in the end? A cruise out of Puerto Rico that ends in NY and yes we are getting to Puerto Rico by plane. I realized that I need to stop driving myself crazy with every little detail and just do it (that makes the Type A in me hyperventilate by the way). I worked hard for this…..I deserve this…..our relationship deserves this. And if by chance I am pregnant before the trip….well at least I can say our baby went to the Caribbean with us. Comments (1)

... From one Type A to another: You DO deserve this! I know that it will be a wonderful time! |
