Babies, Babies

Our friends are here visiting from Chicago. They have two kids. The youngest one is our god daughter. They are so precious, it's great to have them here! Yesterday I went to the grocery store to get all the stuff they need to eat. It was so nice walking around in the baby isle.

Last night as we went to bed, me and Tom watched a little TV before we fell asleep. All of a sudden we could hear our god daughter crying, and we just turned off the TV and listened to it. I got butterflies in my belly just hearing a baby in our house. I slept really well :)

This morning we played together and I watched both of them as their mommy was getting ready. I gave the baby her breakfast, she was sitting in my lap eating her apple cinnamon puree'. There can't be a better way to start the day!!

They went to Disneyland today, I'm sure they will have a great day in the sun with Snowwhite and Minnie. This will be a great weekend!

It's a long month

And now we wait. This is the worst part. I keep on googling "early pregnancy symptoms" even though I know that it's way to early to tell. I've been feeling cold the past 2 days and for me that is very unusual. I haven't been sick in almost 3 years (knock on wood). So the fact that I am feeling chilly makes me think that I am pregnant because it affects your basal body temparature. Silly, I know.

I woke up in a bad mood and just feel irratable in general. Poor Tom.

I'm in Love

Yes, It's true, I am in love. With baby Ella.

Yesterday my coworker who is on maternity leave came into the office and brought her new born baby Ella, 3 weeks old. It was the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. She was so tiny and I got to hold her for a good 20 minutes while she was sleeping. She was all curled up against my chest, and had that wonderful baby-smell. I have been thinking about her ever since. I can't wait to have one of my own.

The Stimulus Package

For everyone who ever tried to get pregnant, you know how your life revolves around it. Every little sensation in your body makes you wonder if it has anything to do with your ability to carry children. But all we can do is try and wait. Let nature take its course. Do everything in our power to make it happen and create the ideal circumstances.

Today Barack Obama is adressing congress regarding his plan to get the economy back on it's feet. Talk about pressure to perform. Both Mr Obama's and Tom's stimuli package need to contain hard work and action. But most of all, it requires patience.

Took My egg shopping

Yes, I took my egg shopping today, hoping that all that testosterone at the Apple store makes the little suckers hang on for queen and country. Our very good friends from Chicago are coming to visit next week with their kids. It will be great to see them, and also to see if this house is baby-friendly. We went to the ghetto yesterday and picked up a play pen for the baby. I hope it doesn't bring any bad ju-ju. 

Two Dark Purple Lines

9 days after cycle start. Tom better get to quarreling the dust bunnies  or there will be no hanky panky! Kidding. 

Some women say they can "feel" when they ovulate. I don't feel anything. Its Saturday morning and I am enjoying my coffee. Maybe my eggs just need their caffein first. 

Swimmers and purple lines

Tom is going for his other semen analysis and my doctor told me that his lab results were actually only borderline. And...my ovulation test showed a faint purple line last night. Time to get to work! I'm hoping Cupid and Mother Nature get together for a pow-wow this weekend.
