Fortunate

Well after a small amount of time off from blogging I am back and refreshed. I, of course, have had TTC on the mind quite a bit. Mostly exciting stuff though. I read that it is mucho importante to be positive about the whole thing.. so I have been doing my best. I have been using some imagery technique that a website recommended.. I feel like they are already helping. I also am very superstitious and was elated to get two very reassuring fortunes from my chinese fortune cookies. The first one said something like "Don't feel like a failure for not making it, feel like a success for trying". OMG! When I read that it pretty much said "Don't feel sad for not making a baby this month, you will next month". Then the second time we ate chinese my fortune cookie said "Your aspirations will soon be fulfilled" or something like that. Um... I almost peed in my pantalones when I got that. I just feel really positive about this month. However.. if this happens to NOT be the month of conception I am going to do my best to be positive about that as well. I do need to lose a bit of weight and taking off a couple months of TTC would provide the time and I could put forth the same amount of dedication to losing weight as I do TTC. My good friend, Christa, gave me a medal and prayer for St.Gerard, The Saint of Motherhood. I have been praying to St.Gerard frequently and feel really good about it! THANK YOU CHRISTA! When I get pregnant I am going to hug you, you will be slightly responsible! Joeys grandma always would pray to different Saints and would always have her prayers answered, maybe Grandma Reid could talk to St.Gerard in person now. :) Below is a pic of positive thinking. Although it does not relate to TTC positive thinking.. you get the positive picture! :)





On another note, our basement is getting closer to getting done. The bar is really close, YAY! I will post pictures in the next couple days.
