At least she was in the dream I had last night. I was in France, visiting with my BFF Charlotte, when we stumbled upon Carrie working at a restaurant. Owned by Aidan!! They already had one child, and she was pregnant, WITH TWINS. God what have I been smoking lately?!?
She was cooking roasted chicken with root vegetables to serve at their restaurant, and although I would love to delve into the juicy Jungian details of what all that imagery might represent, I think I have to chalk it up to watching both Top Chef and a portion of Sex in the City yesterday.
So I am smack-dab in the middle of the two week wait, or the 2ww as it’s commonly referred to. Although I use some of the TTC/IF abbreviations, they really do bug the living fuck out of me. (But now that I think of it, much of what I do annoys the crap out of myself.)
Anyway.
Before I stumbled upon the fabulous blogs out there, I routinely logged on to ivillage to see what was happening on their boards. Now, don’t get me wrong – I think there’s a lot of value in the discussions that happen over there, and yes, I did learn some stuff. Since it’s all anecdotal, I took some of the medical advice with a grain of salt, but reading about other women’s experiences was helpful.
BUT.
The asinine initials for everything is lame and creepy! It’s like a secret club and if you don’t get the password you’re totally screwed. I mean, who wants to read about someone BD’ing with their DH in the hopes of ttc a DD or DS!?
I am all for the warning TMI, and I’m actually fine reading the specifics about someone’s EWCM, or hearing about their BBT based on the TCYF book. But come on, baby-dancing?!? BLECHHHHH!!
As if calling it THAT could make it any more appealing. In our house it’s called "are you kidding me I just ate a huge burrito" but the acronym for that just doesn’t work.
Thanks for your earlier comment on my site. I’m looking forward to keeping up with your journey. Sending you the best of luck!
Oh, and I tagged you (hope you don’t mind too much). Check out my site for details.
Hi..I found you from Nikole’s blog..just like you I was tagged!
I think your dream is pretty funny…can’t really see Carrie cooking but that would have been fun to watch!
I am the same way, I still can’t get all the initials correct on all these stuff. I have to keep proofing my entries to make sure i don’t look like I don’t know what I am talking about.
Good luck on the 2ww…hope you get some positive news very shortly!
thanks for popping by my blog.
yes, i left the board b/c i just could not stand all the damn acrnyms and friggin baby dust. what the hell is that anyway.
GL on the 2 week wait. don’t you hate how our lives are broken into 2 week portions?
