Bump confessions

What should you be doing rather than being on The Bump?

I should be getting ready for work. Bumping is just simply much more fun than work.

    I'm sitting on the couch at work. My head is pounding. One boss left for out of town and husband left awhile ago to work. I have so much running around to do but it can wait! As much as I complain about my job at least I can chill if not feeling well :)

    ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN  DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!

    I should be working, but I get random spurts of "busy time" but otherwise I am relatively bored all day. You all keep me very entertained. :)

    I could be packing for our trip OOT for a wedding, but I'm not. I could be cleaning, but I'm not. I could be making some phone calls to make appointments, but I'm not. I could be getting things in the car ready to transport the dog to my friend's house where she'll stay while we're away, but I'm not. I could be baking, cooking, making lunch, or picking up dog poo and cleaning the cat's litter box, but I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, and I'm not. 

    I'm tooling around on the computer after having watched some TV, waiting for someone to wake up from a nap so I can run errands.

    I'm suppose to be cleaning bathrooms. I really want a nap but I only have 30 min before I have to go to my RE. So I decided to bump instead.
    Fucking bump!!!!
