Ready Steady Go!

The pressure is on. I have the echoes of, 'when are we going to hear the patter of tiny feet’, in a hundred different forms, rattling around in my head, coupled with my own desire to parent and share the new love of my life.

So I’m all geared up (but not overjoyed) to do all the recommended things by one or two of the experts out there (check out; www.goodtoknow.co.uk/family/142797/Eat-to-get-pregnant). One of which is to eat well, which for me means eliminating caffeine (come on… NO CHOCOLATE…that can’t be right) and alcohol (not a problem). As well as introducing seeds (no I’m not trying to plant a tree), brazil nuts etc, more fish and vegetables.

The biggest challenge for me this month is going to be having breakfast. When I wake up at the ungodly hour 3:50am, I think that my body is a little torn between whether it should be yearning for a slice of pizza or oats porridge!

Oh boy, I have a feeling it’s going to be a challenging month.

… But this journey is not for the swift but for the girl who can endure to the end.

So on your marks, get set, go!

I Think I Prefer My Overdraft -

'Being in the RED' doesn't mean what it used to mean to me anymore. Each month instead of worrying whether my bank account is painfully overdrawn, I find myself on a 28 day emotional roller coaster hoping that when I get to the end of the ride, my body will be ready to begin another (longed for) journey for two. The result...a BabyInNine! 

Four months on from embarking on this heart tugging journey, today my body has presented the irrefutable evidence that I am not pregnant...again....I'm a Lady in Red...and I'm not talking about a hot new pair of shoes!
 

Needless to say the news has drained me today, I feel so disappointed and even responsible for the undesirable result.

Reflectively, I have spent maybe too long considering where I went wrong over the past month, today. So I am determined (not sure how yet) to transform my mood into a positive forward focused state by the end of this evening.
