Recipes...

Damn just lost my whole post.....

I just googled some food blogs and honestly my mouth was watering that I just had to make yours water too.

I love cooking. I am quite fussy as to how food is prepared and served so I don't go to many restaurants but if I do it has got to be an Italian restaurant. Not a fan of Thai or Indian but then again I have never really been so maybe I should retract that comment. I love Chinese, again I only go to one restaurant as I am a fussy eater.

Back to me cooking.....well this week I haven't cooked much (live with the in-laws and MIL cooks everyday) but I did manage to fit some things in. I made creamy chicken pesto pasta - way too much fat but it was v. yummy all the same.

I also made a beautiful, avacado, fetta & tomato salad and I oven roasted some peppers and seasoned those. D. had a BBQ at our block for all the tradesmen and the oven roasted peppers were a hit!!!

WHAT ABOUT THE SOCCER....oops FOOTBALL LAST NIGHT!!! So ecstatic but know that my brother was even more so. He is a football fanatic.

Ok back to the cooking thing....would you like to see some recipes with photos??? I am happy to share and would never share the flops so are you interested?

Don't Know

Firstly let me apologise for my lack of posts.

I am probably thinking that you want to an update as to what is happening with me but then again you may not want to, and I understand this. I felt like this when I read blogs of ladies who had gone through IVF and then fallen pregnant. They were no longer in my league and so I slowly moved on.

I really don't want that to happen here. I have the pain of infertility and it is still with me as I approach my 1st ultrasound. I am not feeling the joy that I should and infertility has made me be like this.

I hope that you can all get that BFP you all deserve, but I know that like me, you will be cautiously happy and will not claim victory until we have those little babies in our arms.

Never...

Thank you for your kind words.

Infertility effects every part of your life. Instead of being over the moon, I am quietly cautious. I suppose I have to be. I have been through so much that I think this will be taken away from me faster than it got here. I think this infertility journey just never ends.

About a week ago a lady posted a discussion on EB as to when the stressing would stop and someone said that it didn't stop until the baby was 4 weeks old! I think that is the way I will feel. It will not be real until I am holding something in my arms.

Positive

What a hopeless blogger I am!

My excuse....that after I got told I was pregnant (yes I am) I drove straight home to be with D. and thought that I would update from home only to not remember my password! Doh!

I NEVER thought I would ever post that I was pregnant. In all honestly, I was hoping but never did I ever think my dreams would be answered.

Ladies....do not think I will be deserting any of you and ask any question that you want; symptoms, what I ate, ANYTHING.

The Day

Well today is THE DAY that AF paid me a visit after my last IVF cycle. Am a little nervous, v. moody (typical PMS), cramping, yadda yadda yadda. You know the deal, think she is just about to visit.
