7-15-2010 the blog of numbers :D

Today I am doing my blog in a notepad as I soak in the bath. that is because I am freaking tired! I will only have to copy and paste this baby to the blog when I am done( no wireless here we locked ourselves out of our own wireless T-T)

words cannot express how tired I am, and I could not tell you why I am so tired. I have no idea! I wish I did not feel this way, there are many things that I would like to do today, clean up the dogs area again, do another load of dishes, vacuum some more, And I would love to redo the car! I know I just did it yesterday but friday morning after work I plan to go jihad on it and make sure those carpets are clean. I will steam clean them multiple times if I need to, they need to be stain free!! luckily I won't have nearly as tough a time doing it since there is nothing else to pick up! I'm thinking that 2-3 passes with the steam cleaner ought to do it, it's not like it's expensive! it's 2.50 for 6 whole minutes of hot foam! and then of course you can scrub for as long as you need to :). I think it's a pretty great deal personally. So I will do that, and on sturday Eugene is planning to go get the car inspected. :) Then I will apply to get the tags renewed, Have to do that this month, because all our tags expire on the 31st. :( That makes me a sad panda, fucking government making me poor as fuck! Oh well, no use complaining, and I'm about to add to my lack of funds by getting a newer car LOL GG Sarah? Oh well we need tags, and we need a new car, so I'll just deal with it. :)
Speaking of a new car! As of this friday( that's tomorrow after work yall) I will have saved 1200 dollars towards the new car fund!!!! I am so excited I can barely contain myself, 1200 dollars in 6 week is impressive by my standards, since generally I can't save a damn thing. I am proud of myself, makes me think that maybe I've finally fucking grown up a little bit! took me long enough didn't it?!?! lol

I started the progesterone cream last night and continued it this morning, and will to it again tonight. i am hoping against hope that it works like it says it will. if it doesn't I will be heart broken,but as always willing to try whatever I need to, to get this done. :) I have a feeling that within the next four months Eugene and I will be sitting in the dr's office hearing that we are pregnant!!!!!

Speaking of feelings! I have been feeling all day as if I am on the cusp of something new and amazing, I was telling kelly today that I just can't shake the feeling that this next 6 months are going to be absolutely joyous. I think that I am right! I know Iknow, How can you be sure Sarah? What makes you feel that way Sarah? Are you going to say it's woman's intuition? Yes. it is, i can almost HEAR the laughter. I can olmost smell and feel the joy. I woke up this morning and you know what I smelled? I smelled the soft downy head of a freshly washed baby. I think this is a portent of things to come.
I have been tracking daily now :) It's been four days of bbt tracking, and let me tell you! I am a freak temperature wise!
I Did not get the chance to put my temperature on the first day of my period, because i did not sleep, however since then it has been PRETTY solid :) I had to actually make new numbers for my charts! They all start at 97 degrees and I am at 96 degrees!! So my temps are as follows : 97.7, 96.6, 96.4, 96.3! I mean ok, it's still considered normal, because I am still breathing, but I am strangely on the low end of the numbers temperature wise first thing in the morning! then by evening it's up to 97.7 on one day, or like today 98.1!! so Again it's CRAZY!

Today I want to remind everyone out there who is ttc to take care of yourselves, I mean it, soak in a nice bath, go get a pedicure, have your partner give you a massage. you deserve it, face it, you are preparing your body to harbor new life, and it takes and emotional and physical toll on your mind, body and spirit. Really and truly, take care of yourselves now because very soon, you will be taking care of a little one and have no time for little pleasures like a 3 hour long soak in the bath tub. :)
Something else i would like to bring up. SWELLING it's evil, the very DEVIL right now, I have swollen up every single night/day since I started taking those prenatals, if I eat 1 thing with salt in it up I swell, 1 soda, swollen. ugh! to combat this drink tons and tons of water! and have some sweet tea as well, it tastes better and it's better for you. Has less caffiene, so that you can drink more of the delicious stuff, and you can add yummy fruit flavors to it! I suggest adding rasberry flavoring to it, but that's just personal opinion, I think that iced rasberry tea, and iced mango tea are so delicious!!! if you find that you are lost without the fizziness that you love, try this:
3/4ths a glass of apple, orange, or grape juice 1/4th a glass of carobnated water, and voila! a spritzer!

if you aren't pregnant yet, and would like to celebrate without over indulging, I reccomend a mimosa, hich is orange juice and Champaigne mixed together to form utter deliciousness :)
I am not going to lie, and tell you that giving up soda will be easy, trust me, it will be the hardest thing you have ever had to do, however, it will be so worth it, when you can look into your newborns eyes and realize that what you gave up was NOTHING compared to what you have gained.

now lets talk about weird prepregnancy issues.
Laura and I are both experiencing some pretty strange issues, such as the swelling, and the nesting, and the wanting to stay at home more instead of going out. And wanting to work out more, to be in the best shape we can for Baby.
this is apparently NORMAl! aCCORDING TO MY DR( sWATI jADHAV) It's the Prenatals we are takign :) Who knew right? apparently prenatals simulate pregnancy in the body, so that you act and feel almost as if you were pregnant. I was both relieved and disappointed to hear this, As I would love to be pregnant right now, but it's not time yet. i have too much to do first. Like saving up the rest of the money for the car!
*groan* so every year Blizzard Entertainment gives us a christmas bonus, and profit sharing, as well as the possibility of an sugust profit sharing. I am really really really hoping that they give us profit sharing this august. that would put me so much closer to my new car!!!!!!! And it would give Eugene some money to play around with :) Which he needs, you know? he's such a good man, he deserves his toys!

Anyways, I think that is about it for me, I'm ready to get out of the tub :D I hope that everyone has a magical day :) And remember mr. Rogers as you go about your lives! MWAH!
