Bang in the middle of the 2ww and I am having the usual attack of the split personality crazies.
Yesterday I was all "Woo-hoo, I just know that this worked! My b00bs are bigger! I have nausea!! I'm hungry all the time!!! I'm totally craving pizza!!!! Can't go 30 minutes without having to pee!!!!!"
Today Little Miss Rational has come to visit. My b00bs are exactly the same size as they've been since a couple of weeks after losing Bean. No nausea, normal appetite. I crave pizza all the time because it's a forbidden food and, trust me, gluten-free pizza bases taste like biscuits (cookies, not the sort you eat with gravy). And peeing the livelong day? Well, drinking several glasses of juice or water or cups of tea an hour will do that to a girl.
In order to distract myself I have been putting together a mini hamper to send to Significant Other's parents for Christmas. We have a number of small treats from H@rr0ds, a mini Christmas pudding from M&S and some cat toys from my darling little cat to their darling (somewhat larger) cat. The presents are beautifully wrapped in festive paper and I've even sprinkled some seasonal confetti inside the carton, and the parcel is sitting, ready to go, on the desk. Sounds good, doesn't it?
Last air mail posting day for parcels from England to the Antipodes was yesterday...

Hi! I'm in the exact same ambivalent state of mind. Freaky! Where in England are you? I am from Yorkshire. That whole 'last posting date' thing is so British - here in Chicago they could care less! Hoping for a lovely bfp for you! When are you testing?
ReplyDeleteUgh. The waiting is horrible, such a roller coaster of emotions, physical symptoms, then boom, they change or disappear. It's such a tough time.
ReplyDeleteJust know that I'm very hopeful for you and wishing you the best!!!
Ahh yes, the schizy 2 week wait YES NO YES NO hate it. hate it.
ReplyDeleteso, I'd go with the yes. It's more fun.
wouldn't it be great if it were that easy to choose how to feel?
your presents for your inlaws sounds wonderful and thoughtful and they will love them whenever the package arrives.
thinking of you,
Kate
@ tireegal: Yorkshire - lovely part of the world! I'm in London. Rather fewer moors :-)
ReplyDeleteAbout POAS, I have a dilemma. The clinic recommended 14th Dec, which is a Monday and the morning that Significant Other goes away for 3 days. We're both a bit unwilling to be apart, whatever the result. The day before has the advantage of being Sunday but we have to go to a big family do that day - won't be in a party mood after a BFN. Saturday - is that too many days too early?
Arrggghhh!!!
Yes, that is a dilemma! ( BTW - Hello, London!)
ReplyDeleteToday is Saturday so maybe you have tested already?
I tested the night before our blood test so I would have some time to digest before going to work the next day. I highly recommend having your DH with you - it's too scary on your own.
Could you do it on SUnday night after the party?
Sending you lots of hugs.
