Waiting and more waiting...

Well, after daily visits to the doctor for about the past two weeks (including some weekends!) we are now having to just wait it out. I made it through the bedrest. I was getting a little stir crazy, but I managed to keep myself busy. I did a lot of knitting, worked on a scrapbook in bed, and watched lots of television and DVD's. Saturday rolled around and I could actually get out some. Funny thing was, I was so tired and started to feel like I was getting a cold or something...finally free and now did not want to do much but take a nap. Go figure...

Of course, the next thing that ran through my mind was "are these pregnancy symptoms?" We are now in the two week wait. This really is the hardest part. Waiting to take that official pregnancy test. I ran across an article today while doing some surfing that tickled my funny bone. It was describing things to keep you busy during the TWW. Here is the link if your would like to read the entire list:

It suggested things from walking around the neighborhood, making up your own fertility dance, and making a folic acid feast. You really shoud read #9...it is hysterical. I may do that tomorrow.

Number 13 involves audience participation. I am posting it below. Post your comments if you would like to participate and what day you will be taking. We need to fill though Friday folks...so here is your shot:

"13. Delegate the burden of the two-week wait. Clearly someone has to worry constantly during this time, but does it have to be you? Divide the days up among your best friends and closest family. On their assigned day they are required to think, wonder, and worry all day about whether you are pregnant or not. At the end of the day they have to call or send you email describing how agonizing it was. Also they have to report to you if they had any “symptoms,” such as sore breasts, excessive urination, nausea, bleeding, fatigue… "

Ready for the challenge? This is not limited to just women, men you are welcome to participate as well! You can email or post comments to the blog with your reports...looking forward to see how your day goes!

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner Nancy... I love this idea though.
