    I hate that every tv show and movie I watch ends up with someone announcing she's pregnant. Often times without even taking a test. She realizes she's getting upset for no reason and comes to the certain conclusion that she's pregnant!

    And I hate that work has been insanely busy this week and instead of relaxing this weekend, I'll be helping DH install our new garage door and then designing a postcard for his business. But on the bright side -- less time to see the aforementioned tv shows and movies.

    I spent the entire day yesterday looking after my friend's adorable 18-month-old and felt super sad when I got home. I have this feeling that I'm destined to always look after someone else's kids but never my own (everyone always says I'll be the world's best mom but sadly the universe doesn't agree

    The bump didn't post the rest of my message...

    I feel like exploding lately (pre-O hormones?). I'm on day six of flashy smileys but feel like O is approaching. Had a fight with H last night so missed that opportunity. He likes to work super late on his laptop and I get frustrated that I have to remind/beg/coax him to come to bed. If I leave him be, he'll come to bed around 2 or 3, which is too late for talking about our day or baby-making business.

    @Knottie16743552 I get annoyed at how clueless FF can be sometimes. I wish there was a device you could wear (like those fit bit bracelets) that would track your hormones and tell you when you are ovulating and pregnant. Can someone invent that please??

    @CarrieandRoy yes, I agree about the ridiculous pregnancy rate in movies. You never see women peeing on ovulation sticks or struggling with ttc. Sigh.

    I hate every woman that announces she's pregnant and follows it with: 'I don't know how it happened'.
      As if it were so easy, you just woke up one morning pregnant.

    I am struggling with mixed messages from my husband about ttc #2.i am having symptoms of peri menopause and one week he doesn't want to use contraceptives, and the next he doesnt want to walk about ttc and withdraws. I have been patient for 2 years, but we are running out of time. This has been a challenge to my faith that what will be will be, and Gods plans won't be thewarted.

    I'm so tired of people asking if/when/are we going to have another. I feel like telling them the only people who have any business regarding my vagina/uterus would be myself, my husband and my doctor.
    If I decide not to drink one night people get this hopeful look and ask if I'm pregnant. Talk about wanting a bigger house and people ask if I'm pregnant. See a picture of a cute baby and I mention it, people ask if I want another or mention I should have enough.
    ARGH!! Would my son's life really be ruined if he was an only child?? Are we less of a family because we have 1 child? Nope.

    @jilligan14 what a great idea! I love it. Lord knows, I'd buy it. Probably two! ;-)

    I'm not frustrated as much as anxious. I go on Wednesday for my checkup. I'm anxious to know what our plan is and what tests I'll be getting. Clomid? Progesterone? Not sure. I'll feel "better" when I know.
