Happy anniversary to me & Derek

Today marks our fifth wedding anniversary. Hard to believe that Derek and I have been in marital bliss for 5 years! hahaha okay well, we've had a few rough patches, bumping heads, getting used to living with each other in the beginning. But luckily those times have been few and far between. It's so wonderful knowing I've found someone I truly connect with. Someone I can show myself to without scaring him away. :) We're goofballs together, but it works for us. I look forward to seeing him every morning, and every day when I get home from work. I hope to never take Derek for granted, because he does so much for me. So many little things, thoughtful things, to make my life easier. And I can feel how much he loves me every day when he hugs me, even before he utters those 3 wonderful words that never get old.

There were some people who said we wouldn't make it past a year, two tops. Well to them I offer a quote from one of my favorite Clint Black songs;
"When I said I do, I meant that I will, til the end of all time, be faithful and true. Devoted to you, that's what I had in mind, when I said I do. Truer than true, you know that I'll always be there for you. That's what I had in mind when I said I do."

I'm looking forward to the next five years with Derek...who knows what adventures we'll experience together!

Another broken month

Well, looks like my body still isn’t ready to support creating a baby. I was psyching myself up the past couple days, feeling every twinge and ache, then comparing it to pregnancy symptoms. But it’s all for nothing. I woke up this morning, 8 DPO, and my temperature was down below the coverline. That combined with all my normal PMS symptoms (cramps, irritability, upset tummy) tells me AF is coming tomorrow, at the latest. And so month two of not having a normal LP length. Why can’t it hold out for two extra lousy days??? And how long is it going to take to be back to normal? What if I don’t have a normal and I’m just incapable of being pregnant? Well, if that’s the case, then oh well. I’d rather know now than be disappointed month after month.

I’m just wondering how many months I should wait before seeing the doctor about it. And even if I see a doctor, what can she do?? Ugh. I know this is only the second month like this, but I was hoping it would have just been one month.
Oh well, my body has another month to correct itself. We’ll see how Cycle # 3 goes.
