Infertility

Cabbage Patch Kid

I was at Target yesterday and decided to go down the toy aisle.  I don't know why, probably because it was pink and sparkly.  There was a Cabbage Patch Newborn Surprise doll on sale.  It's this little doll in a green outfit with a green cap and you don't know whether it's a boy or a girl until you open it up.  At first I felt all nostalgic because I had a similar doll growing up.

Then I saw that the box said something like "I want to come home with you!" and for a split second in my hormonal mess I thought to myself "I HAVE to buy it!  It wants to come home with me!"

Then I realized how insane that is and started crying in the middle of Target.  Then I consoled myself with shoes.

What's the craziest thing you either bought or considered buying in the midst of your hormonal craziness?

Re: Cabbage Patch Kid

  • Last year from Feb-April I was doing Lupron which put me into a menopausal state at 28....yea...fun. Well during that state I experienced hormones I didn't know existed.

    Anytime I went to a Babies R Us, Target, Marshal's (which was a lot since I had like 5 baby showers to go to in that time) or anywhere that had baby stuff....I bought clothes for my future baby. I had Lupron induced hormonal baby fever like I've never had before....and don't have anymore. You would think that since hormones think I'm in menopause that those that make you get baby brain would be suppressed....not in my case!

    Now I have all this crap hidden around the house that I don't even want to see because of IF. Blech. I LOATHE Lurpon.

    Took 2 years & 8 months to make our baby! Lilypie First Birthday tickers
  • I have this really strange ritual that is pretty shameful to admit:

    I go to the Hallmark near me about twice per month because I am big on sending out greeting cards on birthdays, engagements, get well, etc.  Every time I go, I have to check and see if they have this particular gift - it's one of those calendars with the blocks that you change to show the number of weeks left in your pregnancy.  On the base of the calendar, it says "Weeks until I am a Nana."  I really wanted to get this for my mom, especially since it can be really hard to find things that say Nana.

    Anyway, it is rarely there, and every time they get in a new one, it seems to sell out right away.  I'm so tempted to buy it thinking that it may sell out and I'll never have another chance, but then I always remember that I haven't had a single BFP in my life and that it is totally ridiculous!  I don't know why I torture myself...

  • I've never bought anything crazy or wanted to buy anything crazy because of the hormones but yesterday I cried while watching the flight tracker for our football team (on their way to Glendale for the National Championship Game). And, I was at work. Niiiiice.

     

    TTC #1 since June 2008 *SAIFW*

  • I was in a kids consignment shop, just to see if they had anything good. I have a slew of baby showers and such coming up. Anyway, I feel in love with tiny tennis shoes with dinosaurs on them. I even justified that they could be unisex so it was okay if I bought them. I have hidden them somewhere at this point, but I couldn't help myself.
