Baby Events

So as I mentioned in my previous post, the last few months have been "uncomfortable" for me.

What's more uncomfortable is the attention I need to give to my friends who are expecting. Goodness, what happened? I used to be such a sweet happy friend! Always in the festive mood and ready to go above and beyond for good friends. These days, I'm just gritting my teeth as I have to sit through baby showers and try to keep up to par with the rest of the girls as I try to lavish mommy-to-be friends with sweetness and encouragement.

I have to say, what keeps me going to these baby events is the shopping. I love looking at baby stuff! Sadly, it's the only thing that actually makes me feel happy and excited. If I could, I would be buying stuff to fill an empty nursery already. So I make mental notes here and there. I go online and try to look for the same merchandise at a discount. I imagine how I would set up the nursery and as sad as this sounds, it makes me feel hopeful.

I found this cute Elegant Baby Piggy Bank (retails for $31) at an online sale for $14! It comes in different colors and sizes and was featured in O Magazine. Adorable!

[FAM] Chart Cycle Day 75

My cycle reached 75 days before I finally started my next cycle. By Day 65, I was going absolutely crazy. I was an emotional mess, my body just wasn't responding well. I constantly ate and my face broke out like a teenager. Sigh....It's been frustrating to say the least.

Anyway, I couldn't take it anymore and went to go see my gyno who prescribed me progestrone pills to help jump start my period. After taking it for 6 days, I did notice some spotting which then went on for a few days and that was it. That was my period after 75 days of hell.

I don't understand how six months prior to me TTC, my cycles were normal, usually 36 days! Now that I'm finally ready to start a family, my body has gone crazy! I tell my husband that perhaps it's a sign from God, that maybe we should wait.
