If you don't laugh...you'll cry

Thank god our KD has a sense of humor about all of this nonsense...Please enjoy our email exchange below:

Me to KD: 


So....I'm not pregnant. Bleh. Anyway, we continue forward. 

Can we schedule times for this month? I was hoping we could do more times to up the chances..maybe?

I am thinking we are looking at the following days:

Friday Feb 11

Sunday Feb 13

Tuesday Feb 15

Thursday Feb 17

Saturday Feb 19

Also, I will be using an ovulation predictor kit this cycle in conjunction with all kinds of other stuff I have already been doing to get the timing just right. If it came to be that I am ovulating on a day not listed above could I call you to set up an impromptu pick up? It would be during this set of dates, but, for example, it could be that I ovulate on the 12th instead of the 13th....who knows...

Anything I can do to get preggers!!!!!!

Just let me know what time on the dates above work for you and I will make it work. 

Oh and we should be getting your the donor contract asap. Our lawyer just emailed it to us yesterday and should be getting it to you very soon. You will need to sign it in the presence of a Notary Public. We can all go to one together...I have one in mind. 

Thanks. 

KD to Me

AAW!
:( I'm sorry.

well lets see,
all of these days work for me! you kinda know my schedule now, so lets do it!
call me when you're ovulating! lol

send me a list of dates you are thinking of doing the whole notary public thingie... which makes me wonder if you really need to send me the contract!? if we will all go sign it together anyways!? o.O! idk just a thought. save postage?!

Anywhoo, let me know if there is anything I should be doing besides keeping my pants on lock down.

Me back to KD

HAHAHAHA! Seriously you had me cracking up at my desk. And my co-worker thought I was dying. 

And you work on Monday and Wednesday nights right? Which right now shouldn't be an issue unless my ovaries decided to get to working on one of those nights....

Anyway, Here is what I am thinking. 

Friday Feb 11 @ 6:30pm

Sunday Feb 13 @ 4:30pm

Tuesday Feb 15 @ 6pm

Thursday Feb 17 @ 6pm

Saturday Feb 19 @ 2:30pm

Thoughts?

CD1

So here is CD1...AF in all her glory arrived today. SO the BFN was accurate. At least now we can get started the planning for try #2. The charting and the temping and the vitamins continue. Still caffeine and artificial sweetener free...just barely.
In other news my birthday is on Sunday...as is the Superbowl. Which you might think is cool and awesome and amazing, but in reality is sorta blows. Mainly bc it is my birfday and also because neither of the teams I wanted (the Ravens or the Bears) will be playng.

Birthdays are supposed to be the one day where people really pay attention to you, celebrate you and...

give you cupcakes

rainbows

and a pile of kittens

but alas all I will get is foosball

So...there you have it folks.
Oh and my cable is out, which makes sitting at home by myself with the cats oh so entertaining. At least I have netflix on the Wii....

My favorite Baby Things

So I was over at small obsessions and reading Isa's post on planning and how she has begun "pretend" shopping to get through the tww and it started me thinking about all the fun baby things that I would love to have. It also got me thinking about all the crazy ridiculous looking baby things that are out there. This is my ode to the most ridiculous baby items a parent could own.

The Zanky Infant Pillow...oh hey creepy hand pillows that look like thing from the Addams Family. Why yes, go ahead and caress my newborn.

via

The Snot Sucker...what a wonderful name! Yes, please can I add this to my baby registry?

via

Hello Sigourney Weaver...is that your alien baby popping out? No it's just the Peekaru...

Oh, your baby is bald? Well now you dont have to wait for nature to take it's course. Instead you can put the dead hair of someone else on your baby's head. Of course! Why didnt I think of that! And it is only $29.95 here at the official Baby Bangs Site

via

Not that babies have been crawling on unprotected knees since, oh I dont know, the first baby came along?!?!? But yes, can I have some baby knee pads please?

And last but not least...

In case you dont want to figure out on your own why your baby is crying, here is a gps for the road of newborns...bleh I say to the baby Crying Analyzer...if you buy it now you can get if for $40 instead of $100...

Dumb dumb dumb...dont new parents have to buy enough stuff for their baby without having to think they have to buy even more?

#1.2 and some humor

Try #1.2 complete. All in all, less awkward than #1.1. But I still felt like a drug dealer waiting in my car for a phone call from someone to make a delivery. 

That is all. 

Oh, and for your amusement, I found this over at www.twoweekwait.com, more specifically here

- the Big 'O' no longer refers to orgasm, but instead to ovulation
- you show everyone who will look at your bbt charts
- every twinge is a potential sign: ovulation pain OR perhaps implantation
- it no longer strikes you as the least bit odd to check out at the pharmacy with both HPTs and tampons in your cart.
- you schedule your social events around your ovulation day
- you talk using mysterious acronymns that only your ttc buddies understand: ttc, ewcm, bbt, opk, 2ww
- your morning motto is: "Don't talk to me until I've taken my temperature"
- you take your temperature more than once a day (committed TTCer)
- you refuse to finish decorating that 3rd bedroom in your new house, because you can't stand the thought of getting it just the way you want it only to have to tear it apart next month in order to make room for the nursery you'll be needing.
- you put off buying any fall/winter clothes, because you hope they won't fit by the time the weather gets cooler.
- you clip coupons for OPKs and HPTs
- your doctor says, "Now take these home and inject this needle into your stomach every day" and you don't even flinch.
- you spend more on OPKs, HPTs, and fertility supplements than you do on clothes
- the thought of nausea makes your heart skip a beat!
- you make a mental note of what day of your cycle it is before you say "ok" to a drink
- you get sick but make sure you can take the medicine in case you are pregnant...and would rather stay sick if you can't take the medicine..
- you finally look forward to mornings! Another opportunity to take and record your temp!
- you suffer silently from Infertility Vision (IV) - defined as the ability to see pink lines that nobody else can see. It's a very common condition among POASers during the days leading up to the official test day. Research is still being done, but at present there is no cure for it!
