Missing the other pink line

Some of you may have noticed I haven’t put the wine glass down lately. *sigh* No, I’m NOT pregnant and yes I AM still drinking. This period was the bitterest one I have ever had. Minus all the ones pre birth control and you could find me in fetal position on the floor from cramps. I guess I set a date and expected it to happen. You know just throw some fairy dust and shit on me and boom I’m pregnant!

The cards weren’t exactly in my favor this month, but yet I was still shocked when the other pink line didn’t show up on the pregnancy test. My period was off track. It came later than it was supposed to which made me think I was for some odd reason on a 30 day cycle. Also the days I was supposedly ovulating were all the days we were on our happy family vacation in Disney. So needless to say not the most ideal situation for baby making. And honestly when you have a sick one and a bored one all locked in a hotel room with you and your husband is MIA it does not exactly scream lets add a 3^rd like now!

We attempted and it was a big fat negative. But the biggest thing that was off is my weight. I didn’t lose as much as I wanted to and honestly I am 20lbs away from where I want to be when we I get pregnant. So we aren’t throwing in the towel, but I felt like tracking my ovulation and knowing the dates was kind of exhausting and un-fun. So at this point I’m am leaving it up to the pregnancy fairies. It will happen when it happens and hopefully I will get my ass in gear and lose a little more weight this month.

In all honesty I guess part of me was wanting this pregnancy thing so badly so I didn’t have to think about the weight thing anymore. Which is NOT a good plan. It’s actually a terrible plan. So we shall see where this baby journey takes us but I can say I feel for women who have troubling getting pregnant. What agony. I thought because the one time we “tried” two years ago and it worked and then turned out to be a big FAIL would be the case again minus the fail this time. Things happen for a reason (or so they say), so with time all things will come. Until then you can find my happily enjoying my adult beverages.

G's 6th birthday was yesterday. Here is a photo recap. We started with a yummy breakfast, she opened her Barbie house that Kelly and my Brother Eric spent hours building, then it was dinner and cake out, and last but not least we capped the day with bowling. Sunday afternoon she will be having a gymnastics party with all her friends!
