one more week

It's Monday again, and that means that sometime in the next week we will know if this cycle was successful.  I realize that this whole process is going to be one waiting game after another, but I need short-term goals. 

Our weekend was nice and relaxing - we went out for dinner Friday, and had a party on Saturday for our friend's birthday.  We have lightened up a little on the alcohol restriction, and let ourselves have one or two if the situation calls for it -- (shocker: most situations include alcohol.)   I had a few jello shots at the birthday party, and I've decided that if the baby is born with a tail, I will blame Jose Quervo.  Went to Chesterland for a Sunday afternoon steak, and before I knew it, BAM - it was Sunday night again.  Time is a very relative thing. 

**Ooh, something shiny topical segue: if you haven't checked out the podcast radio lab before, you don't know what you're missing...  Science and culture information written like a great short story. Check out this episode (#51 from 5/29/07) about time.
 
That's all I have so far today, folks.  More to come...


inevitableupdate:  We have a twenty percent chance of conceiving this month, and 1/3 of women experience implantation spotting.  That means that I have a one-in-fifteen chance of noticing said spotting right now, but that does not stop my obsessive mind from checking every single time I go to the bathroom.  Wow, this is going to be a long week.

songs in my head

Most mornings, I wake up with a song in my head. Some days it's something I've been hearing on repeat at work, or some commercial that is just way too catchy, (you know who you are, Target). This morning, it was a song I've never heard before, but I was singing it like I knew it. 'I'm just looking for a heartbeat...' in kind of a twangy, country-like song. No idea where it came from, and as Karen pointed out, it does sound like the first line of George Michael's 'Faith'. Long story short, I'm certain this means I'm pregnant, and my subconscious knows it. Or, I'm just obsessed with all things baby and I'm driving myself a little crazy. Perhaps a combination of both. :)

One week from tomorrow we can test. More to come...
