Living in the Moment (And the Ongoing 2WW Symptom Watch)
The roses in my garden are so beautiful this morning...
Hi and Happy Thursday!
A big THANK YOU to everyone who left comments and emailed me yesterday gently suggesting that I should try to live in the moment vs obsess about what I'll do if I'm not pregnant this cycle (especially since I've already got clear plans for our next step--another FET ASAP.) It was JUST what I needed to hear, and I have been/am planning a bunch of little things to keep me in the here-and-now...from last night's little retail therapy session (my new aviator sunglasses look so cool, and I can wear them even if I'm pregnant and huge), to washing and brushing our two dogs, to working on the purple-and-black-and-white 70s poncho I'm knitting (I'm having a total hippie/bohemian moment as far as clothes go lately), to a birthday dinner at my parents tonight, to getting some belated and about-to-happen wedding and birthday cards/gifts out to my friends, to sitting in rocking chairs in the shade with my husband playing a game of cribbage, etc. Doing all this stuff is good...it's helping me to feel better.
And, as far as things that could possibly be considered pregnancy symptoms:
- I've been tired (although my insomnia's back, so not sure if there's anything valid there)
- And hungry
- And thirsty (had to get up in the middle of the night last night for a glass of water)
- Oh, and yesterday I was craving a burrito for lunch, and I clearly remember having a week or two when I was newly pregnant last time when all I wanted to eat was burritos
- Also little stomach cramps on and off yesterday
- And...I don't really know how to describe this...kind of an achy feeling in my belly...like you get when you're about to get your period, but I also remember having this feeling before when I was pregnant (although it could mean my period is on its way...who knows?)
Three more days to beta. Three more days to beta. Three more days to beta.
