K so it is what it is. I'm not super optimistic about this one. I'm sporting some sentimental shirts this morning for "good luck"... The Red Sox t-shirt I wore to bed (don't judge lol) and my brother's high school football sweatshirt from last year. My parents moved to a different town over the summer so he doesn't feel comfortable wearing his old high school's logo anymore (MY old high school) so he let me have this one. It even has my maiden name embroidered on it. Like I said: sentimental! And you might be flipping, thinking, "Red Sox??? I thought she lived in Brooklyn???" And you'd be right, but I was born and raised in Mas.sachus.etts, so BOOM. That'll always be my "home" too.
I was 100% positive that I just deleted this whole post accidentally. Thank Gd I didn't.... Hope I didn't use up all of my luck on that. ;)
There is one thing that could work for or against us. Remember how our iui was on E's Jewish birthday (his birthday on the Hebrew calendar)? So it turns out that our pregnancy test is on a realllly special day for me on the Hebrew calendar. Normally is be excited because Kabbalah says your "mazel" (kind of like good luck) is increased on these days... But I feel like maybe it's just too much. It'd be too perfect. I think that's what's hanging over my head this morning.
Ok I'm getting on the subway now. Wish me luck!!! (The theme of the morning, apparently!)
I wish you SO MUCH LUCK on this. I'm sending all of MY luck to you. Except I don't usually have any good luck, but I never have bad luck so that should be comforting, right? Maybe not.
ReplyDeleteOk, so instead I am sending every good vibe/prayer/ounce of good chi/fung shuey (how the eff do you spell that word) or whatever else counts as good luck your way for this! It would be pretty cool if these good days DID tie into your baby's creation story!
Thinking of you today!! Wishing you the very best!
ReplyDeleteHere from ICLW really late (just got back from vacation in a place with no internet). Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best on your tests and hope you dressed warm enough. May your Mazel days increase.

DeleteHey everyone! I'm not ready to make a full-blown announcement so I'm going to hide it in here. I don't think anyone who knows me in real life actually reads this, but we have a custom to keep these things under wraps until after the 4th month. But I feel like this is anonymous enough to say...
ReplyDeleteWe got good news on Tuesday. :) We're in total shock. I'm terrified and excited and in complete disbelief. THANK YOU to everyone who prayed for and thought of us. We are feeling so so blessed, and in a way are relieved to know that no matter what happens, it at least can and DID HAPPEN. Pleaseeee continue to pray for us!!
I 100% understand if any of you stop reading from now on... I've 100% been there and done that. I'm definitely feeling some sort of "survivor guilt" or whatever you want to call it and have been thinking of everyone.
Like I said, we have a custom to not tell anyone (we did tell our moms) for the first 4 months, so I'll probably be keeping quiet about it for the next few months if all goes well. Errr... I'm not sure. I'm a little overwhelmed, haha. But again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Yay! Congrats to you!!! :-) :-)
DeleteSo, so happy for you!!!!!!
