Welcome spring:):)

Yesterday was P+16. Last cycle lasted till P+15 bc of the HCG shots so I knew to expect a long cycle. Except after P+15 this time, I actually started to get excited. The anxiety set in. I was totally fine throughout the 2ww...that was all God's grace. I didn't struggle through that...BUT then the devil started creeping in...that POS!


Yesterday I had a little pep in my step. I saw nor felt no signs of AF but sure enough 5 a.m. I go to the bathroom and booom...there it is. UGH. HATE. 


IT IS SO CRAZY HOW CRAZY MY MIND GETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean I was fine until yesterday and then I had little glimmers of hope last night when getting ready for bed. I was thinking "two more days, no af = hope!!" 


So today was just blah. Well, my mood was at least. DH hung in there with me though. I woke up and had pretty bad cramps even after tylenol. I got in a hot bath and sat in there for about 30. That was at 5:30 a.m. DH was up too. I guess I woke him up but our alarm clocks in our heads just buzz and we can't sleep late. So after we ended up laying in bed watching a movie till 7:30 a.m. That's when the cramps worsened....and the back cramps too. Mis. Finally around 9:30 they faded.


Today it was 75!!! It was absolutely beautiful. The sky was sooo blue. I spent the morning shopping. In between shops mom and dad called and I lost it. When I hear their voices and I"m sad, the tears just flow. I was pretty upset/emotional for about 30 min. I guess it felt good to get it out. And my sweet parents are so comforting and encouraging. After my eyes dried up and the redness went away, I continued my day. Since AF came, I went and bought two new shirts and a new pair of sandals for spring! 


I came home and while DH washed/waxed his boat I laid out in the back yard and caught some vita D. My skin is so pale and I just want a bit a color. I bought 70 Neutrogena spray at CVS (I'm a freek about getting too much sun!) and dosed my body down. Then I spent a good amount of the afternoon on the blanket out back. It really was a great way to spend a CD 1 day.


DH and I then went to the store to get groceries for the week. (He knows that when I'm upset or sad, it makes me happy for him to be with me or else he would have loved to have stayed home to enjoy the weather outside playing on his boat). He then had a brilliant idea to go get 10lbs of crawfish (already spiced and boiled). We sat out on the back porch as it started to cool and enjoyed peeling the shells and eating our yummy crawfish and drinking a cold beer. (To you northerners/midwesterners...We say "crawfish" not "crayfish".) ha. 


Then tonight I tried to make spaghetti sauce (easy, right???) and it ended up tasting like CRAPOLA! Thank goodness we were full from the crawfish. I'm debating whether I should add spices or throw it out....that is how "not good" it is. I mean really. Who can't make spaghetti sauce from a darn recipe!!! My sister emailed it to me...maybe she left a few things out accidently...I'll pretend that that is the reason!! 


Contacts are drying out. DH and I are about to crawl into bed and watch tv. Tomorrow we have a busy day with mass then a Mardi Gras day party then parade. So off to brush my teeth I go....


Happy Mardi Gras friends:)
