A very long weekend.

So I took off here Thursday night for a long weekend, but I really had no idea. DH left town Thursday because he was the best man in a wedding. I decided to stay home until Friday morning. Since AF was now a day late, and I had no AF symptoms whatsoever, I decided to go buy a pack of FRER.

I got home Thursday night, and tested...2 lines! I was so excited, and had no one to talk to except my cat...lol. I didn't want to tell DH until I could see him face to face, and I didn't even want to come on here because I wanted him to be the first to know. I tested again in the morning, 2 lines again, and off I went, as happy as I could possibly be. I spent the day with my SIL, we were at the beach for a while and then headed to where the wedding was.

It was 5pm by the time I got to tell DH. I don't think I will ever forget the smile on his face, he was so happy, and couldn't stop smiling and kissing me.

Before going to bed I noticed a little spotting but tried not to overreact because lots of people say they have spotting, but when I woke up in the middle of the night with cramps I knew somthing was up. I laid there all curled up just praying that I was wrong. I waited as long as I could to get up, but when I did I discovered that AF was there in full force.

I told DH what was going on, and asked if we could just go for a drive. We were staying in a hotel with all of our friends and DH's family. We drove for an hour in the middle of nowhere while I tried to stop crying. It was the wedding day, so I just had to try and act as normal as possible. DH was amazing, and spent the evening trying to keep my spirits up.

I'm doing okay now. The whole thing just makes me realize how badly we both want a child in our world. I know our time will come.

Time for an update!

It has been far too long since I've posted, so I guess it's about time. The weekend camping adventure didn't go so well...it rained...a lot!
Here the girls were spending some more time in our little make-shift shelter. Friday night was okay and we got to have the fire going. Then Saturday the rain started...yuck! We went to town for the afternoon and got back to lots more rain. The boys were determined to get a fire going, and we all played dominos/cards under the shelter. Sunday we went for breakfast where DH's sister cooks, and while we were there we found out that everyone had packed up and was heading home. So we left the tent there for the night and stayed with my parents. We went back out in the morning to pack up and I dropped DH off at the ferry to head home, and my week of vacation started.

But, with the week of vacation came a lot more rain! Most of the week I hung around doing nothing. I had dinner with my BFF (due with her second in Nov!) and caught up with my 'old school friends', we started elementary school together! The highlight of the week was probably spending some time with my nephew...so cute!

We had his baptism on Sunday before I went home, which was a really nice day. My brother wasn't overly impressed with his 'dress', but he looked gorgeous!


So that was vacation 2008, very sad. Now it's back to work, which has been pretty quiet, just waiting for the rush of everything come fall. we are heading to a wedding (5 hour drive, boo!) this weekend. It's DH's best friend, and he is the best man, so it should be a good time. I took Friday off since we have to be there for the rehersal Friday night, and I think I'll be taking the day to do some stuff with SIL which should be fun.

TTC news? 14dpo, waiting, AF is due tomorrow, I'm really hoping she decides to stay away, that would be amazing. I guess if she doesn't arrive tomorrow I will take a test, since some pretty heavy partying will likely happen Saturday night, I'd rather know ahead of time. Keeping my fingers crossed!
