Its another one of those days where I have a lot of thoughts bouncing around in my head, but no cohesive story to tell. You don't mind, right?
* Went out for Fat Tuesday last night and drank 4 beers in 4 hours with 2 glasses of water. Still managed to wake up with mild hangover symptoms! God, I feel *so* OLD!!
*Gobs of EWCM continues into today. I have never had this much before, even when I was religiously dosing with robitussin. WTF, body? What did I ever do to you? Why do you enjoy stringing me along like those boys in college? I hate your face!
*J goes for her first ultrasound tomorrow morning!! It has been a difficult week for her. She's had two (non-consecutive) days of spotting and I don't blame her for freaking out. I know there are tons of reasons for spotting that are totally benign, but there's always the worry that its your worst fears come true. Luckily her latest blood work was *really* good. Pray for one healthy fetal sac!!
*I try to give up something for Lent each year as a matter of tradition and personal challenge. I've given up soda and fast food mostly and I think one year I tried to add more exercise into my habits. This year I'm not exactly giving anything up. I've decided to make a conscious effort to be nicer to M. He really is a sweetheart, just rather prone to only half-way completing chores and completely forgetting when I ask him to do something. I can go from zero to ten with him over things that really don't matter that much (although "ten", for me, resembles a small temper tantrum and much sulking, so its not very scary). I know that he has made an effort to be more helpful to me, so now I'm going to try and cut him some slack. We'll see how this goes.
*Really enjoying ICLW this month! Trying very hard to visit as many new blogs as I can.
Robitussin gives you EWCM? Is that a thing? I've never heard of that before - weird!
ReplyDeleteYeah, its something I learned from the forum I was on. A few teaspoons of plain guaifenesin (make sure there's no other active ingredients) a day and drink lots of water. Do that for approx. 5 days leading up to O. It seems to help some women who have issues with dryness from fertility meds.
DeleteAnd that is a good reminder for me to cut my husband some slack too. He's chore-inept and it drives me bonkers. The man has his PhD yet taking the garbage out is difficult!? It's good to strive for patience though.
ReplyDeleteYeah, somehow they manage to be inept at exactly the things that easily piss us off, LOL.
DeleteI love this. I will try to be nicer to my hubby for lent, even though I don't observe it. I guess I can learn from all religions and work on my marriage, right?
ReplyDeleteExactly! Think of it as a belated New Year's resolution XD
DeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I love your goal to be nicer to the hubbs. We need those boys and sometimes we forget that they are going through the same crap we are. They just hide it better.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to figure out what to give up for lent. I like your goal of being nice to your hubby. I'll be praying that J's ultrasound shows a healthy fetal sac.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your prayers!
