Bent Over, no Really Bent Over

It came out at work yesterday that we are indeed trying for a baby. My co-workers are persistent and spend much of the day thinking how to get under your skin until you crack. Well finally I was like YES good lord you people are nosey. But it also ended their fun because they have nothing left to annoy me with. But as soon as my boss entered the room they told her (which is totally fine, we are not one of those companies who frowns on the situation and esp. not my boss) and she goes "oh, well let me tell you how to do it" This really got everyone riled up. She said the office secret (and let me tell you our company might as well be in the baby business because as a whole we reproduce like rabbits!) is to do it from behind. Just not from behind laying down but really bent over on all 4's. Then she gave us the list of those this worked for....including herself...twice. Needless to say that project I mentioned in a previous post is not making enough progress. And I will have to now update her on the outcome of her advise so she can add me to the list of those this has worked for.

Other random notes of this entire conversation:

23 year old male: are you doing anything special to get pregnant?

ME: as in WHAT? Do you really want the details of my sex life??

23 year old male: well, I know you can't get pregnant if the girl is on top or if you do it standing (this was before my boss had entered the room)

ME: in your case I wouldn't count on that unless you are ready to be a dad at 23

23 year old male: I guess, I do have super sperm...its like a bunch of Michael Phelps down there.

ME: God help us all if that's the case

32 year old male: It took my wife and me a year

ME: in my head...good, b/c if I hear of one more person who got knocked up the 1st month of trying I'm going to scream! and when you know someone is trying to you think its helpful to tell them that??

23 year old male: your sperm must suck.

Can't wait till for today!


Well I am pushing back my test date...10 days left. Next cycle we will try clomid and the office secret.

Do you want grandbabies or not??

We took a little trip to the beach this weekend only to find out we were to be sharing the room with my husband's 20 year old brother...not exactly the ultimate situation.

11pm Friday: FIL says to me (as I was going to bed and dh was brushing his teeth in the bathroom)- You don't mind if Mike sleeps in the other bed in your room right?
Me: um, no I guess not. (what am I going to say!?, Hello, do you want grandbabies or not?? This night could make the difference!)
FIL: welll, he just went out with friends for a few hours but I'm sure he will be quiet when he comes in. (This is the difference between 20 and 30, 20- wouldn't even think of going to bed at 11pm on a Friday night, especially at the beach, 30- hello people, when need to get the baby making going so we can be asleep by midnight!)
Me: ok, no problem.
11:15 DH comes into the room and I tell him.
DH: what the f*ck! Thanks for the advance warning...but can't really say that to his dad.

So we know we should have a couple hours unless they realize they are not 21 yet and there is nothing to do...we go to lock the door and realize the lock is broken and so is the latch- so the door could just swing open (especially if someone opens the patio door and creates a breeze). Fortunately for us there is a small chair in the room and we prop it against the door. My in-laws have gone to their room so we feel pretty safe about the situation. We get to business and are long asleep when my brother in law comes in (um, at 3:30am).

Side story: It will be funny if I actually do end up pregnant this time. On our wedding night we had an after party in our suite, mostly friends plus Mike. Mike is 12 years younger than my husband. After too many drinks we told him to lay down on the sofa b/c we didn't need him roaming around the halls underage and drunk. Well around 3 am we left the party and went in to the bedroom of the suite. The next morning I said to dh, I bet Mike is still passed out on the sofa. He said no way b/c their parents had paid for Mike to have his own room. I walk into the other room, and yes Mike was still on the sofa. So there is a running joke about Mike staying with us on our wedding night. So you know he might as well have been there on the night we conceive our child. I wonder if it happens if anyone will figure out the timing?

The next day at the beach dh decides he does not want Mike in our room again...something with the over a decade age difference and not wanting to be woken up at 3 am when he comes in. So, dh decides he is going to be honest w/his dad and tell him we are ttc (tho I'm sure he didn't say "TTC") and it had not been going well, wearing on both of our emotions and how we would like some privacy (in a beach condo filled with people?!). Well, dh tells his dad not to tell me he knows and not to tell anyone (which I know he never would, we tell him pretty much everything because he is the opposite of gossip!) So all Sat. afternoon my FIL is thinking of places Mike can go sleep, other family members are at the beach and he could go sleep there and so on. He decides we will take the mattress out off the twin bed in our room and put it on the floor in the living room. Problem solved. Until Mike had a fit...um, because he is 20 and by no means wants to be told what to do. But my FIL makes him sleep in the living room. Around midnight we go to go to bed...when my FIL and MIL decide to watch old home moves...the film strip kind...on the wall outside our bedroom...so they are sitting two feet from our non-locking door. HELLO??! So we watch a couple with them and then announce loudly we are going to bed. Then it must of clicked with my FIL and he packed up the movies and they went to bed too. All too funny...but I guess he does want grandbabies:)

Finally...

Its day 16 and the that little line on the opk is almost as dark as the test line...so should hit surge sometime today. I was beginning to worry the clomid wasn't going to work this cycle (well, I guess I have no proof it will, I've has + opk's and stilled not o'd) But I have a bit more faith with the clomid. The meds have made me lets just stay a little crazy this month. And my husband has taken up any sport that can keep him out of the house until he is really needed:) One day I'm really angry for no real reason and the next day everything makes my cry. I got really said when I saw the rug I want from pottery barn kids on clearance...I know...what am I doing looking at that stuff its only going to make me crazier! I am half tempted to buy it, its the lamb rug, for a girl or a boy! and we have hardwood floors, so I have to have rugs. But if my husband sees a box show up from pottery barn kids he will prob. have me committed.

this is a joke right?

I have to interview some young knocked up and un-wed chick to be my assistant. Sorry, it behoves me how something I've been trying to do for the last 8 months she did by accident. I mean, unless your condom broke or your birth control failed (and I don't mean you didn't know the age old rule about antibiotics and bc) it was no accident. We all know where babies come from! You made a choice somewhere along the lines that got you knocked up and because of that I'm not about to let you be my assistant...and its mood point any how because I already have someone for the job its just an HR thing that I have to interview her anyway. Besides she is due in 3 weeks, so sure I'm going to hire you so you can leave in 3 weeks for 3 months (she is a current employee at anther site thus making her eligible for maternity leave). I'm sure HR would love this post.
