When you tell people you are "trying to conceive", people often think it must be an exciting time in your life. Of course, it is, but not without some darker sides. They assume that it must be filled with romantic rendezvouses and excited AM pregnancy tests (that of course end in squeels and hugs). What they don't picture is a very frustrated woman sitting on her couch and wishing she could have a few glasses of wine after a stressful week. But oh no...she can't.
Why? She's 28 and gainfully employed. She doesn't have work tomorrow. Oh, right...because there's this not so exciting period while trying to conceive between the trying and the testing--a sort of procreational purgatory. During this time, between days 20 and 28, you might be pregnant and therefore can't do anything fun whatsoever. But then you get to day 28 and find out that you weren't pregnant at all, and you could have easily had that bottle of wine four days prior. There in lies the rub.
In the end, I suppose that...sigh...it's all worth it. lol. Of course it is. I certainly would surrender ever drinking a drop of Cab Sav again if it meant I could be preggers right now, but the fussy 18 year old in me wants to stomp my feet and go, "It's not fair!". lol.
In other news...today the husband and I went on an absolutely delightful 6.2 mile walk. The weather was stellar and the lake winked at us with sparkling cerulean eyes. The city was a vision on the horizon, a specter cloaked in a thin veil of fog. I love walking; there's no better way to fall in love with this city.
not working tomorrow? I just got my biked tuned up and ready to go! Bike ride? walk? Lemme know!
ReplyDeleteMy bike is still in winter condition as am I, so no biking yet. A walk to the beach once Stacy is off of work though. You in?
