TTC Two Months in

This is a TTC (as in Trying To Conceive) post. If you don’t wanna hear the TMI, stop reading now.

So I took off the BC patch in March. I traveled for work & visited family. We didn’t really pay attention to timing of things. When looking back on the calendar, I realized I got my period on day 28. So I was “normal”, but not pregnant. Not that we were really ready or expecting that in the first month.

Then we were in April. I started reading TCoYF & joined Fertility Friend. I started taking my temps every morning at 7am and charting them and my daily CM. Jason was out of town visiting family then sick. I was in a wedding & we had family in town. Jason also started his new job & continued to work his second night time job. In other words we were busy so although I was trying to figure out which were good baby making days, we didn’t really TRY. Looking at my chart, we think I O’d on day 13 and I ended my second off BC cycle on day 23. After cycle two, we’re a little wiser about my cycle & more ready to give baby making a real go.

Lilly Pulitzer Warehouse Sale

Beth & I are going! It’s going to be crazy, it’s going to be packed, & it’s going to be FUN! We’ve been debating back & forth, but finally decided yesterday that we were for sure gonna do it. I found $77 flights to & from Philly, a $35 rental car, & B is using points so we’re staying free at the hotel. I told Jason I will stick to a small budget, but I’m going more to check out the craziness of it all than for any outfit or dress. I know depending on where we are with TTC, my sizes could be changes a lot in the coming months… But Lilly shoes, scarves, etc 70% off! I will be sure to do a follow up post after we get back. 🙂

One of the Best Long Lunches Ever…

Today I had a four hour lunch with other awesome women: Katherine, Jenny & Beth Anne. It was awesome to meet Katherine who was in town visiting her Dad and spent the afternoon with us before driving back to Northern VA. Jenny drove up from Charlotte to meet Katherine & see us~ how cool is that?! Beth Anne is dealing with a lot right now so it was wonderful to see her smiling face today. As usual, I didn’t take photos, but hopefully Katherine & BA will share the ones they took. Cafe Carolina was delicious, the weather was perfect for sitting outside, & the conversation never quit!

We were scared by a large hairy shirtless man & lots of brave birds. Jenny might’ve scared a young couple with her uterus chatting; but Katherine & I didn’t mind. Jenny & I thank Katherine for paying for Goodberry’s on the “first date.” I hadn’t had it in years~ the raspberry banana concrete is now my favorite for sure! I can’t wait to catch up with each of them soon. Katherine & Jenny, road trip back to Raleigh soon? Or is it our turn to visit NVA? Charlotte again?!
