Cabin Fever

I have never wanted to go outside more in my life! I am going crazy, we have been stuck in the house for what seems like forever 5 months. We could have gone outside a lot more, but C was still learning to walk, it was really cold, and well we all hated it. Maybe next year will be better?

Anyway, being stuck in the house can really toy with your emotions. S and I have been fighting a lot more and it is mostly my blame. We will be talking, he will say something I disagree with and I will just go crazy hulk mama on his ass! okay well maybe not that intense, but I get pretty upset. I feel like I have been distant from C, I don't interact with him as much as I used to and I feel horrible for that. He will be sitting there building and I will just be sitting beside him adding the odd block to his quickly growing tower, which he then proceeds to take off and place elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, we still play and laugh most of the day. It's just getting harder and harder to keep things fresh. I am SO bored, with the usual schedule and games we play.

I try and get out as much as I can, but I don't have a car and everyone I know lives like 10km away :( I still do get to do things with them here and there. I still get invited out a lot, but it usually interferes with C's bedtime, and I still have days where going out is the last thing I want to do. I know that's weird, but once it's after noon and I'm still in my PJ's there's a 99% chance I'm not changing. I did get out with a friend I don't usually hang out with, she took me to a moms group things. We went swimming and then out to lunch. It was ok, they all sat in the kiddie pool and talked while I chased C around the pool, then when C and I were eating lunch they were all chasing there kids around while we just sat there. haha. It was still nice to get out.

I just need to wait it out a little longer, it is getting nicer and nicer everyday and before I know it the snow will be gone and summer will be here. We will go on picnics and walks, to the splash park and the lake. We are planning a camping trip and a day trip to Calgary to hit up the zoo and then maybe head to Peter's Drive-In for supper (those of you that have ever been there, are you jealous?). We are also most likely heading up to Edmonton to visit a couple of my twitter friends and their kids. I just can't wait to have another amazing summer with my family!

Another Month

I tried hard not to think about trying to conceive this month and I tried really hard not to take the ovulation tests that were tucked away in a drawer in my bedside table, knowing that if I slipped up and took one test I wouldn't be able to stop. Well, I took one test then another and another until yesterday, I got a positive. I didn't know how to feel, I was finally at terms with our decision to take a break so I did what I usually do and I talked to a few of my twitter mamas and decided to just go with the flow, if it was meant to happen it would happen.

When S got home from work I told him and we talked about it, becasue even though I was ready to go for it he might not have been. We decided that we didn't want to miss an opportunity, we have been trying for this long, might as well keep trying. I am feeling really optimistic this time, I am calm and relaxed (and a little horny ;) ) 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is our month, and I appreciate all the love, support and baby dust from all of you. Now you just have to keep me busy for the next 2 weeks and what ever you do DO NOT let me take a pregnancy test until I have missed my period...That is your mission, do you accept it? It won't be easy.

I'm BACK!

I have rejoined you ladies, and men, in the blogosphere! Excited? I sure am.

Since I will be spending less time on twitter and more time doing things around the house and with C during the day, I figured this would be a great way to keep you all informed of what's going on with us.

But don't worry I will still be on twitter, just not as often.
