Friday Ramblings(?)
I don't remember what she used to call it... but I miss Ms.Bluemont's rambling friday posts. So, here goes:
TTC is a funny beast. It becomes very consuming. You're living in two week intervals, thinking about your body all the time and what its doing... to determine ovulation timing, to look for those elusive pregnancy symptoms, to wait for your period. It drags you up and down, elates you and tires you out all the same. And the worst bit, catching up with friends and not knowing what to say because the very thing that occupies your thoughts for about 12 out of the 24 hours in a day, is the very thing that (for me, at least) you're not really talking about. Who wants the extra pressure of everyone knowing? Plus you'd basically be talking about this very private thing that is part of your sex life. So you don't talk about it... and instead end up saying things like, "Yeah... life is good! We just finished redoing a room, and work takes up our time. ::pause to think about ttc:: And uh, we've been watching a lot of movies." Riveting (and by riveting, I mean completely lame). But how would I even talk about it if I did decide to share. How do you discuss something that is so consuming, but where still - really - your biggest news is that you aren't knocked up. Funny, funny beast.
Anyway, to distract myself from this, and because I've had the most ridiculous cookie cravings lately, I just took a Mrs. Fields soft bake chocolate chip cookie and popped it in the microwave for 10 seconds. So. Damn. Good. It was almost like fresh out of the oven... soft, warm, chewy. Mmmm. What I really want though is one of my Gooey Peanut Butter Cookies (easiest cookies ever), but I ate the whole dozen of those in four days. So Mrs. Fields will have to do.
Okay, I'm done. You're turn!

Re: Friday Ramblings(?)
friday kitty chitty chats.
ttc has been a strange beast for me as well. c seems to be handling things well, and although i've been battling a bout of depression i think i'm doing ok--for the moment at least. it is very consuming. we're in the opposite boat in terms of friends and family: we've told quite a few people that we're actively trying and get questions pretty regularly, although nothing too invasive. mostly just basic "how's it going?" kinds of things. we even got asked if we were pregnant yet by c's mom at thanksgiving, which is huge.
i'm not sure how we'll handle it once we get a bfp. i vascilate between just telling everyone and telling them that we just don't know yet. i'd hate to tell everyone early and then have something happen. then again, it would be good to be able to get it out in the open, and i don't want to focus on the hypothetical bad. and if we did tell people and something happened, we'd have a support system of people who knew what was going on. i'm not sure. c is of the opinion that she'd just as soon go off somewhere for 9 months and show up with a baby that everyone could fawn over.
my ex is pregnant. she got married right around the same time we did to a man who has the same name as my wife (well, the shortened version), which we laugh about regularly. i just read a thing on my her blog tonight about her feeling the baby moving around. i'm really happy for her, but it's so strange to read about her experience knowing where we are in the process.
how did this chat turn into a ttc post? oh, right. because that's pretty much all i think about. well, that and school. which is what i really should be focusing on since the quarter's almost over...
