The waiting game...


I ovulated!!! Woo hoo! Part of me is telling myself that this is far too much information for the rest of the world, but it's just so darn exciting! With all my might I'm attempting to not be a pessimist, but I think it's natural to have a bit of negativity that things might just not work out. It helps to keep reality from being too much to handle. That being said, it really happened! I took Clomid and began tracking my ovulation on day 10 of my cycle. When day 14 passed, I began to get a bit more anxious as those "text book" girls would have ovulated at that point. We've added a new addition to our family, our puppy Dunkel, and he's been keeping us pretty busy. On the morning of August 2oth (day 15), BJ headed outside with Guinness and Dunkel for their morning potty routine and I headed to the bathroom crossing my fingers that I'd see the "smiley face" indicating I had ovulated. I carried the test to the kitchen with me and began taking care of the dogs with BJ. After a few minutes, I realized I hadn't checked the test yet. To my surprise, a smiley face stared back at me. It really makes you want to smile too! In fact, I was so excited that I took a picture. BJ just giggled at me. I think he said, "are you serious?" I can't even imagine the emotion I'll feel when it's an actual positive on a pregnancy test, but now begins the waiting game...
