I hope everyone had/is having a great Halloween! Mine was pretty chilled out but good. We went to see Paranormal Activity today. It was pretty scary, but not as bad as I expected. I will know the full effect of the movie tonight when I go to bed. I hope I can sleep. Now, I am having a scary movie marathon. Just finished my Halloween favourite Hocus Pocus, and am now watching The Exorcist. I might watch Poltergeist next and then finish off with Trick R Treat. I got about 15 trick or treaters, not many as I live on a dead end street and there aren’t many kids in my neighbourhood. I hope that by next halloween, we have a child to celebrate with!
I am entering my next TTC cycle. THIS WILL BE THE ONE! THIS IS OUR MONTH! Here are the items in my arsenel for this cycle:
- Temping
- OPKs
- 3000mg Evening Primrose Uil
- FertileCM
- Soft-Cups
- Prenatal
- Preseed
- 81mg low dose aspirin
- EPA/DHA
We will be following the Sperm Meets Egg Plan again. Hopefully this will be it! I am feeling really positive about it. I hope it lasts.

So, I finally O’ed this cycle, 2-3 days later than usual. Like WTF? I really need to stress about the regularity of my cycle now too? That is the last thing I need. Well anyway, at least I finally did O. I am happy that it is finally over, and there is no more wondering if I should or should not TTC this cycle. Now I have no choice. It is done. A wasted cycle. I am kind of relieved that there will be no testing this month. No staring at BFNs at all different types of light, holding it at different angles, hoping to get a slight glimpse of a pink line. Not this month. No disappointment for me. Which is good. I can also have a blast at Amie’s wedding on Saturday! Guilt free! Bring on the Pinot Grigio baby!!!
In other wedding news, I finished my speech yesterday. What a relief. Now I just have to say it in front of 300 people. AHHHHH! I may pass out. Just another reason to “Bring on the Pinot Grigio baby!!!”, before my speech. I don’t know how I am going to do this. I am so afraid of public speaking, it is not even funny.
Also, I finished printing and cutting Amie’s table numbers and menus for her wedding. Another relief. Now all I have left to do is clean my guest room, and straighten up my house. My other best friend Tansy, is coming down from Hamilton tomorrow to stay with us for the weekend, for the wedding. She is also a bridesmaid. I can’t wait to see her tomorrow! I can’t wait to party it up at this wedding!! I also cannot wait to put on my party dress and get all dolled up. Here is the bridesmaid dress Amie has picked for us to wear.
Isn’t it just lovely? I love it! I just hope it still fits me.

I know, I know. I am a horrible blogger. And to make matters worse, I have been in a really weird mood lately, and just do not feel like doing anything, including writing a post. I have just been so down in the dumps lately, and I just can’t shake it. I know it has a lot to do with this whole baby making deal. I never thought that I would still be trying 6 months later. I know that this is not a long time, and that some people try for much longer, but it seems like eternity. Especially for someone like me, whose mind has been consumed with the thought of having a child for the past six years. I hate feeling this way. I hate the fact that I am whining about it all the time. But I really can’t help it. Everywhere I look I see a pregnant woman. Everywhere! It just puts salt on my wounds, rubbing in the fact that I am not yet pregnant.
The even sadder part of this funk that I am in is that I can’t even get into the Halloween spirit this year. This is usually my favourite time of the year, yet this year, I am just not into it. Very sad!
Thanksgiving dinner was a success! Everything turned out amazing. I wish I would have taken pictures of all the food, but by the time it was all ready, we were all so hungry, we just dug in.
Next weekend is my best friend’s wedding! I am sooo looking forward to it. It should be so much fun! That is all I have to say right now.

I LOVE the Fall! It is by far my favourite season of the year. The weather is perfect. The air is fresh and crisp. The leaves are changing to bright vibrant colours, and as they fall from the trees, they decorate the landscape with different shades of red, orange, yellow and brown. Sweaters are my favourite, and every summer I long for the day the the thermometer drops low enough to put on a cozy sweater. Fall is just absolute perfection! I am so excited for Thanksgiving and Halloween, and before you know it, Christmas will be right around the corner. What a fabulous time of the year.
This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, and this year, I am making Thanksgiving dinner at my house. I am so excited to have lots of yummies. This is what I have planned for the menu, all home made of course:
Thanksgiving Dinner Menu:
- Turkey
- Stuffing
- Mashed Potatoes
- Gravy
- Sweet Potatoes
- Sweet Peas
- Corn
- Salad
- Pumpkin Cheesecake
- Pineapple Delight
I have decided not to have a Halloween party this year. All year, I looked forward to it, but as the time grows nearer, I am finding myself not looking forward to it so much. I am just not in the mood this year. TTC is taking a lot out of me emotionally, and with each month that passes, there is more stress, fear and worry. So this year, I think I am just going to make a special dinner for my husband and I and watch some scary movies.
I just recently found out that a friend of mine got pregnant by accident, and has been hiding it for 3 months. What a blow. I am happy for her, as they were about to start TTC anyway, but a part of me is so jealous and angry. Why is this not happening for me? I know it hasn’t been that long, but the 6 month mark is approaching. All I want is a baby in my arms. I don’t care if it’s a girl or boy, or what month it is born. I just want to get pregnant and have my baby! Is that too much to ask? Everywhere I go, I am bombarded with pregnant woman. The world has gotten pregnant, and it seems like I am the only one who is not. This is so hard! Sorry for the constant whining and self pitty rants, but I cannot help it. It consumes me. Anyway, we are taking a break this cycle. My best friend is getting married, and I want to be able to have an awesome time at her wedding. If I were to try, by the time the wedding came, it would still be too early to test, so I am not going to risk it. Here’s to a stress free cycle, and a great time at the wedding! Can’t wait!
