The Two Week Wait, Where Everything Is A Symptom
Monique | Monday, July 9, 2012 at 7:15PM Christian and I are officially within the brutal game of patience and sanity that is our first cycle of the two week wait.
I've been hyper aware of my body since I started charting, which is ridiculously irritating when you find yourself catching a cold, mere days after ovulation, and you know the aches, pains, fatigue and extra sniffles are a symptom of pregnancy, but can't possibly be so in your situation because you'd only be DAYS along!
When there was just a hint of a stuffed nostril I almost jumped for joy until I realized how many DPO I was and had to sit back down and take a chill pill. It's hard not to get excited, or overzealous, when a final pregnancy is the goal.
I feel like I'm not staying busy enough, which would be absurd; between working at the preschool, lesson plans for the boys, learning Swahili, Samara's visit AND an extra child visitor? Yeah. How either of us has time to do much else amazes me. It's not difficult, just very busy, and I am sincerely enjoying the chaos.
I'm not crazy stressed, and Christian {as usual}, is very relaxed about the process, it's simply at the forefront of my mind. Counting down to the day I might discover I'm 10 seconds late and can take a test, awaiting a hopeful positive and everything that comes with it.
Ugh. The two week wait is dumb.
