Decision

AF arrived yesterday. Very disappointing. I was really feeling it this time, totally thought I was pregnant! If I were, the baby would have been born at the beginning of August, so we could have still gone to the beach. If I get preggo this cycle, I will be due on Sept 4th, so no way we can go. Should we even try? If we succeed, we will have to cancel the trip. But we won't want to cancel too soon, in case I miscarry again. But we don't want to wait too long either, because the longer we wait, the less chance the house will get re-rented and therefore we may not get our $$ back. Plus it's not fair to our friends; they need to know. So, should we or should we not try in December?

On another note, we are redoing our bathroom upstairs. And our bedroom (paint, window treatments, closet). And adding a fireplace (just an "anywhere" fireplace) in the basement. So our whole house is covered in plastic and we live out of boxes (remember, no closet!). And on top of this all, we have a Holiday Party for about 40 people next Saturday! But that's beside the point. I have always loved decorating, redecorating, designing, etc. And yesterday I finally got a sketchbook and a box of colorful crayons, got my tape measure out, and created designs for my new fireplace and my new bedroom. I spent several hours doing that and totally loved every minute of it! Perhaps I will post before and after pics. I am excited to be doing some kind of art again.

Jinxing it

Haven't been here for a while. I have been very busy since we came back from our vacations in Poland, between unpacking, laundry, and being jet-legged. Also, we had a trip to Charlotte, NC planned for Veteran's Day weekend (two weeks after we come back from Poland), so I was busy with that. PLUS, our upstairs bathroom renovation just started and our house is now covered in plastic (and dust), which only adds to the whole craziness.



I have booked our vacation home today. We are going at the end of August/beginning of September. If I get pregnant this cycle, the baby would be 1 month old at the time of travel, so we will probably have to cancel (it's a 7 hours drive). If I get pregnant next cycle, I will be delivering at the time of vacations, so we will have to cancel for sure. If I get pregnant the cycle after next, I will be 9 months pregnant, so we will most likely have to cancel too. I really hope I jinxed it and we won't get to go! :)
