Is it the 21st Already?

Wow, ICLW really snuck up on me this month. I guess that's what obsessing over a 2ww will do to a girl. This is my second ICLW and I'm looking forward to spending time with all of you, and getting to know some new people out there. For those of you who are new to my blog, welcome! My infertility timeline is posted at the side, but the gist is that I am at Cycle Day 26, 14dpiui #5, with a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. Hubby and I have been not preventing for just about two years now, trying for a year and a half, and in treatment for 9 months. At the time of this posting, I have lots of symptoms...most notably sore boobs and a killer lower back ache, one "not pregnant" after peeing on a digital yesterday morning, and still no real signs of my period starting. If it's not here by Wednesday, I get to call to schedule a Beta. Fingers crossed that I make it that far!


To let you know a little bit more about me other than the obsessive details of waiting, I'm borrowing an idea I saw last month. This is one of those get to know you posts that was floating around, and someone used it to kick of ICLW. So, here you go...


The ABCs of Me...

A-AGE: 35 and 50 weeks exactly.

B - BED SIZE: Queen. We wanted a King so badly when we bought our bed a few years ago. We were going to cram it into the tiny bedroom in our rental...until we realized it wouldn't fit up the stairs. Now, we own a house with a HUGE bedroom, and our Queen is only three years old. I guess we have to wait a few more years before we upgrade. 

C-CHORE YOU HATE: Cleaning the bathroom. It was my childhood chore. Hubby usually does it now. I have the best Husband ever.

D-DOGS: Not right now. At least not until Violetta is ten and begging for one for Christmas. Maybe not ever. I grew up with a pug though, who I loved very much. 

E-ESSENTIAL START YOUR DAY ITEM: iPhone. I check email, blogs, weather, etc.

F-FAVORITE COLOR: Purple

G-GOLD or SILVER: Silver. Absolutely.  

H-HEIGHT: 5'4"

I-INSTRUMENTS YOU PLAY: I played the flute for about 4 years in grade school.

J-JOB TITLE: Interior Designer - at a big architectural firm. I do mostly corporate and higher education work. A lot of people don't understand the field of interior design, and think I am a residential decorator. (which I do enjoy...as a hobby in my own house and occasionally help friend and family as well.)

K-KIDS: Just two fur babies of the feline persuasion.

L-LIVE: Just outside Boston.

M-MOM'S NAME: Vicki

N-NICKNAMES: Jenny, Jenny the Pooh,

O-OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAYS: None.

P-PET PEEVE: Hmmm, I'm sure I have a lot, but at the moment, I am having a hard time thinking of any. 

Q-QUOTE FROM MOVIE: "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."—Llyod Dobler, Say Anything

R-RIGHT OR LEFT HANDED: Right

S-SIBLINGS: 1 younger brother

T-TIME YOU WAKE UP: Alarm goes off at 6:30. I snooze for at least a half-hour.

U-UNDERWEAR: I'm really not sure what this is asking...but I'm old and frumpy and gave up thongs long ago unless I'm trying to make things more exciting in the bedroom!

V-VEGETABLE YOU DISLIKE: Are mushrooms considered vegetables?

W-WHAT MAKES YOU RUN LATE: Myself. I dilly dally. Even if I get up early, I will just spend more time staring off into space while I brush my hair longer than usual. I really don't know where the time goes sometimes. 

X-X-RAYS YOU'VE HAD DONE: Lots at the dentist, HSG, various times for a wrist issue.

Y-YUMMY FOOD YOU MAKE: I make a Rueben dip that my friends tell me is like crack.

Z-ZOO, FAVORITE ANIMAL: Monkeys.
