A Bit of "Shop Talk"

The hubs doesn't know anything about his interview yet, just in case you were wondering.

I'm not really feeling up to going out tonight, but I don't know what to do here at home. I didn't bring home papers to grade on purpose, I have a good book to read but I'm almost done with it, I can't clean out the office without DH, who is currently sleeping before he has to go into work, and the sound won't work on my computer, so I can't watch the Scentsy training videos I'd planned to watch. (However, I did finally get to move my Scentsy warmer out of my cluttered office and into the living room, where we can use it every day, and I am loving it. We currently have "My Dear Watson" on the warmer, which smells divine).

Instead, I sit here doing a lot of thinking. Here's where we are in the whole pregnancy journey:

I have, at fewest, two days before AF rears her ugly head and crushes my hopes again. The first few months, I had major PMS symptoms that I always hoped were pregnancy symptoms; mainly, soreness/ tenderness. Then, for the past three months or so, I haven't had ANY of those symptoms, also causing me to hope that *just maybe* I was pregnant, since on the previous cycles I had been having PMS symptoms. Last month, I had a new symptom--major AF-like cramps from ovulation to CD1. Obviously, it didn't mean a thing. This month, I have soreness/ tenderness again, but mainly on the sides. For the last two days, my lower gums have been SO sore and swollen. I looked it up, and it could be a sign of pregnancy, but it could (more likely) be a sign of gingivitis. Since it's only my lower gums, I'm going to go with the latter choice (and some new mouthwash). I'm still having the cramping that feels much more like menstrual cramps than cyst pain.

So, that's what I've got. A fat lot of nothin'. It's a good thing I wasn't temping this month, though, because being sick would have sent it all wonky....so at least I wasn't wasting my time on that.

Ultrasounds tomorrow....here's hoping I won't be getting crappy news for Christmas!
