I had a wonderful weekend away with hubby in our nearby metropolitan area. It was glorious. We stayed with friends, we ate great food, we saw a ball game & toured a beautiful old district of the city which was reopened a few years ago and now is full of galleries and artisans and a WONDERFUL chocolate shop. I had their specialty - an intense drink of spicy hot chocolate, thick and rich and sexy. I also sampled some of their house made gelato...blueberry basil (yes...it was brilliant!), and lemon sour cream (bliss!). We also went to the 'cool' shopping strip and I got some nice bath things (normally I make my own as I have such sensitive skin that I react to most commercial cosmetics - but this place uses all natural stuff - the same bases that I use really - but they do it SUPER PRETTY!), a beautiful turqoise pendant that I can't stop admiring, and PINK CONVERSE ALL STAR HI-TOPS for my 3 year old neice! Oh, she is going to LOVE them!
It was so incredibly restorative. Just what my soul needed. Now I'm back home and rockin' the program with a positive attitude.
I haven't really had much CM in the last year or so....but the last couple of days I have had a wee bit. Its CD 11 right now. So based on what I've read thats a pretty good sign. I guess I have to watch for EWCM in the coming days & that would be a good indicator that I might actually ovulate this cycle! Wouldn't THAT be something! I truly hope that is the only thing that is preventing us from achieving pregnancy. Hubby's swimmers are good and I have been pregnant before - 2 miscarriages, 7 years ago. My period came back after being gone for months. Maybe my ovulation can come back too!
I really hope that I can stay in this positive place for the next few months. My body seems to be responding well to it! My mantra for the next several days:
"My body is preparing for pregnancy. It is about to release a strong, healthy egg which will become fertilized, implant in a healthy uterine lining and settle itself in for a 9 month stay!"
(keep repeating until it happens)
