Yeah, it's worth it :) This place is so amazing and bizarre. Its odd not being on the East Coast though!

I'm so glad your doctor is willing to go ahead with testing now. I always thought a year was ridiculously long to wait, especially when you know you've been hitting your ovulation days. I hope the tests give you some answers, and like you said above... thank goodness we live in an age where we have options available if it turns out that there is something going on. You WILL get your baby.

I can imagine it's challenging, but having so little time together makes the time you DO get that much sweeter. It's so great that your schedule is flexible and you can make the most of his spur of the moment free time!

Shameful as it is to have to slink off to formerly too-big shorts, they are super duper cute! And now you're getting your money's worth on those never-worn shorts :)

So well said, Angela. I am having trouble processing this whole event.

When we started seriously considering having a baby and I started reading about it, I was appalled by how little I knew and how many misconceptions had been drilled into my head about fertility and infertility. I hope it happens for you guys soon!

The waiting would be so much easier if there were some way to just know when it would be over. I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's not fair, you don't deserve it, and I sincerely hope that this is your last month of waiting.

And you did it with smile on your face! Awesome, awesome job. Way to go!

You know what I just realized? My due date is on Bella Swan's birthday.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It is SO frustrating. I was seriously shocked when I finally got around to reading TCOYF... I mean, my high school health teacher made it sound like if you Did It once without three different types of contraception you were guaranteed to get pregnant. And then I read that book, and basically I'm now amazed that anyone is ever able to get pregnant without a live-in medical team. I can only imagine that the timing is more difficult when you're working around deployments... my fingers will be crossed for you guys!

LUCKILY, the vacuum was right next to the bathroom. UNLUCKILY, it resides in the "poop room", with the cats' litterbox and every other bit of junk that we can't fit in other places. And on this particular day our living room floor, which he had to walk right past, was completely covered with (sorted) dirty laundry.

Joel is always telling me that I get the water too hot when I do dishes. I wear gloves because I hate touching the kitchen sponge with my bare hands (a totally separate issue), so the scalding water doesn't bother me. I think it gets the dishes cleaner, and faster. But it burns him if he needs to stick his hand in for something, which happens more often than you'd think, because we've had this water temperature discussion many times. Anyway, the first thought that came to my mind was "he's right! I burned something with the too-hot water!"

We are definitely not at that point yet (at all), but very good to know! Although I doubt any vitamins can save my poor fingernails.

I totally reverted to This Will Ruin My Life mode of thinking from the second I put the deposit down on my dress until the day of the wedding. I did not pay you-don't-want-to-know-how-many dollars to not fit into that damned dress. And after seven years of dating I was NOT having a shotgun wedding.

Hmm, but I seem to remember that Andrew wants a lap cat, which Madison is not. And I'm not giving up my good cat. I think I might just tie a bow around his neck and leave him in the neighbor's mailbox. I mean, he wants to live in her garbage pile anyway.

Jersey Shore is among my list of shows that need to be addressed. As a Jersey girl myself, I feel like I have to both defend my state. That sounds like I hate the show, which is the opposite of true. I love it. I just want people to understand that The Shore is a small part of the state that we all make fun of too.

Its not an iphone, its a droid. I wanted the iphone, but I just cant do the att switch. We had att a few years ago and the coverage was so bad that we couldnt use our phones in our own house. But still, woo! I have a faux-iphone! It is glorious! On Nov 15, 2009 9:45 PM, Operation Pink Herring operationpinkherring@gmail.com wrote: No, not an iphone, but it does look like one!

I agree. I dont think its any more rational or legal than outlawing interracial marriages. I just dont think calling everyone who disagrees with you an idiot is helpful, you know? Thats what I was trying to say.

OK, right. Sam isn't a werewolf. But he sure seemed like it, with the turning into a dog and all. On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 2:10 PM, wrote:
