Beautiful day
The weather is gorgeous, I’m on my way to meet my mum and spend the day with her and then going for birthday drinks for a friend (non alcoholic for me obviously) and maybe having a bbq tonight if hubs sorts the garden out. My ‘little’ brother is at comic con this weekend so him and a friend are staying with us this weekend. Life is good today.
Superhubs!
Last night before book club I was complaining that there was so much to do in the house before my brother comes to stay tonight and I was so tired and fed up of injections. When I got home from book club hubs had done the washing up, washed the floors, hoovered, made up the spare room and tidied the living room. I love that man!
Work - Life balance
So I finally got around to talking to the headteacher about whether I can apply for promotion. She said that normally I would’ve got it, and she maybe wouldn’t even have advertised it, but with all the IVF stuff I’m not in the best place for it. It is a middle management position and we are expecting an inspection soon and if I need time for hospital stuff she wants me to be able to go without having other commitments. All fair points and I don’t see it a discrimination because it was something I had thought about and understand. I am happy though because I will still be put on management training if I’m not on maternity leave so that my career is still progressing. Stupid hormones took over at one point and I cried, which I hated because I don’t cry at work. But overall I am glad I know where I stand now.
Shame
I just ate a quarter of a tub of Ben and Jerry’s by myself. I wasn’t going to eat that much but it didn’t seem worth putting it back in the freezer. Feel slightly sick now…blaming on the menopur!
Monday
Today:
- Taught without support, whole class in for once.
- Staff training until 6.30pm, focussing on coaching and counselling. We had to think of an issue bothering us and work it through on paper. It was not shared but still not what I wanted to think about.
- 2 injections: suprecur and the first menopur - wake up ovaries!
- lost my oyster card
- had yummy food for dinner
Day 20: Something you can’t live without.
Love
This canvas is above our bed and was given to me by my husband fairly early on in our relationship. It might sound clichéd but, without the love of my husband, my family, my friends and even my cats, I would not be here.

About me
Waiting to be a mummy.I'm 27 years old, got married to my wonderful husband in August 2010 and been trying for our first baby since December 2010. In April 2011 we found out that we have male factor infertility and are booked in for ICSI in April 2012. This is my blog of the highs and lows of this unpredictable journey towards hopeful parenthood.
