Woo Hoo!

Class was cancelled tonight because the professor is sick. Woo Hoo!! Free time! What did I do? I went to Costco to get some groceries because our fridge and cupboards are pathetically bare. The thing I hate about Costco is that I always end up spending way too much. I went in with a list -
salad
sliced apples
rotisserie chicken
Amy's burritos
Cuties clementines
Odwalla Superfood
bread

Came out with all of the above AND
Turkey Jerky
18 packs of gum
5 pounds of gummi bears.
Totally didn't need that, but glad I have it!

Time to try again!

AF came yesterday, 4 days early. It was a complete surprise to me; I wasn't expecting her until Wednesday. I had no cramps or any indications that she was on her way. I'm not upset about it. I had a feeling that we weren't pregnant this cycle.

I started classes at the end of January - going back to school to get my second bacc - then I'm applying to medical school (!). So I've been very busy with work full time and classes 3 nights a week. BUT I think I'm getting better with time management. I'm not spending as much time goofing off and doing nothing.

Which explains why I haven't blogged in about a month!

I was wrong

AF is here. I started spotting this morning. Although I'm a little sad we didn't get pregnant this cycle, I'm happy for several other reasons.

I didn't have to wait 12 weeks for a cycle like I did after my first miscarriage.
We now have a LMP to start the next cycle with.
I didn't have any cramps! Yay for easy cycles!

CD 30

I've used 3 HPT's already. And they were all negative. Yet, I have no sign of AF coming! ARGH! I hate waiting.

They're Here!!!

Yay! My 20 HPT's arrived today. I was planning to wait until Monday, but I might break one out and test today! I'm not expecting a positive, though. The only symptom I have right now is light cramps, and I suspect AF is not far behind.

I ordered 20

Yes, 20 HPT's from Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com. They should be arriving anyday now. I'm going to start testing next Monday and I'm going to continue until I get a positive or AF arrives. Who knows how long that will be. The last time I had a miscarriage, I waited 12 weeks for my first cycle. Hmmm...I probably should have ordered more tests.

What a beautiful Saturday!

It is 55 degrees here. That is positively gorgeous for the middle of January, even by California standards.

Have you ever had a vietnamese sandwich? Crunchy french roll, pickled carrots and daikon, homemade pate and mayonnaise, ham, and other seasonings. SO GOOD! If you've never had one, you should try one.

There's this little place in El Cerrito, a hole in the wall, really, that makes AMAZING vietnamese sandwiches. I've eaten them all of my life, but these are seriously the best I've ever had. Every time we come here, the place is PACKED, but the service is fast, so the wait is never long.

Today, Ron and I pciked up a couple of sandwiches and then drove to the Berkeley Marina for lunch in the sun. What a great way to spend a beautiful Saturday morning.

Now Ron is off to coach volleyball, and I'm off to the outlets to buy some shoes!
