no news to report today. meds seem to be fine. no huge side effects, maybe a little redness at the injection site but thats about it, not even too sore or anything. im pretty sure that lovedove thinks that the meds are making me edgy, but im dont see it myself. tonight is the last night of this dosage of meds before my sonogram tomorrow. im excited to see if my body is responding to the meds, and im glad my period is much lighter than it was on day 2. im fine with endovaginal sonograms, but when i have my period, i feel like the grossest thing in the world. ug, i hate it. hopefully monday was the last time ill have to do it. ::shudder::
today i am stuck home waiting for the delivery of our new laptop and printer. we've been wanting a new laptop for a while as the one we had conked out a while ago, so we've been stuck with the desktop only for.. a year? 2 years? who knows. its been a while and due to the fact that the desktop is in Sofia's room, computer time is very limited. once she's asleep shes a pretty light sleeper so we do our best to stay the hell away from her and make minimal sound during nap time. she sleeps more deeply at night time, but thats when lovedove is home alone because im working and she would love to have the luxury of the internet at her fingertips but bedtime is about 7pm for little miss early riser so its impossible. needless to say we're pretty excited. im sure the doorbell will ring as soon as she falls asleep, it always seems to. ding dong, bark bark, "disa quiet" (in a whisper yell), then waaaaaa! it almost never fails.
this is so funny to me. i was about to type QOTD for question of the day, and then i thought about a friend/former coworker who used to ask me a ridiculous but always hysterical Lesbian QOTD. oh man those were good times. the place we worked was a fucking hell hole, run by a dysfunctional super unhealthy married couple, and super corrupt. however the people working there, "there" being a local agency focused on providing services to children on the autism spectrum, were mostly amazing, goodhearted, intelligent people, who were also super funny.
anyway... qotd.....
How did you and your partner decide when you were ready to start trying to conceive?
we always knew we wanted to have kids, we had always discussed it when we were developing our friendship, we just didnt realize we'd be having children together. we probably started discussing it prior to actually getting married, but i guess we started talking about it seriously after our wedding. i knew i wanted to "continue partying for a bit" (just alcohol and a little bit of inhalation, but kind of excessive amounts of beer) and i knew that needed to slow down. lovedove was a large supporter of me "slowing down", clearly a good option, and i knew that even though i wanted to have more "fun", i didn't want to be "old" parents. yes i know we're not old parents, but i felt like even starting at 25 we were already a little old. lovedove always tells me how skewed my brain is because i think in timelines the way someone who is 55 did when they were young. i know 30 is like the new 20 now in terms of family creation, but i guess i was kind of in a rush. so after 2 years of marriage we started getting serious about plans. we talked about the desired timing, lovedove exercised almost daily for about a year to get into the best shape she could without going overly crazy, went to all of her doctors to get checked out, and we saw the RE for the first time in october of 2009. 6 weeks later we were pregnant with Sofia. Sofia was the simplest decision we ever made and probably one of the easiest pregnancies ever. future #2 on the other hand, was a simple decision for us (although again i think i was ready before lovedove was) but s/he is certainly giving us a run for our money.
