empty table right behind my desk. Grr... Every time someone comes in and
pours themselves a cup, I hear the fizzing and smell that great Big Red
smell and I want some soooo bad. Then the neighboring department's boss
came over to tell me that he'd just made a fresh pot of coffee. ARGH! I
want some caffeine so bad, and the whole office seems to be conspiring
against me!
But I've been really good. I have some green tea at my desk and I think it
has about 20mg of caffeine per cup, as opposed to 80mg for a cup of coffee,
so I don't feel too bad about having a cup of that. So far I've only
indulged in one. Now I'll have to see if I can cut down my sugar intake.
I've been stopping in at McDonald's for a morning smoothy, and I'm sure that
doesn't help, but at least it's not a morning coffee :)
Last night I went to the local pub to talk politics with some friends. I
used to frequent that pub on a weekly basis back when I was a smoker, but I
stopped going there when I quit because it was such a strong environmental
trigger. It's now a non-smoking facility, but they still have the same
large selection of beer. I'm happy to report that despite the presence of a
communal pitcher on the table, I didn't drink any alcohol or caffeine. I
had a big salad and some ice water. Good for me. My husband was enjoying
his beers, though, and when someone asked why I wasn't drinking, he
volunteered a little too much information about our baby-making plans than
was really anyone's business which earned him a short but sharp reprimand
from me. While a certain number of close friends and our families are clued
in to our endeavor, we don't need to announce our family planning methods to
a crowded bar! Duh! I blame the fact that he was drinking, but the truth
is, he's often thoughtless in matters like these. I have to remind him to
think before he speaks on a regular basis.
I also had to get on my sister, too, because she posted publicly on my
Facebook page asking how the baby plans were going. I had to log in from
work and delete the post real fast before it showed up in everyone's news
feed. Then I texted her that she should be a little more discreet and
message me if she wants to know.
Sigh.
I guess that's what I get for sharing our plans.
I don't have terribly high hopes for our chances this month. We were busy
all weekend tearing out a wall in our bedroom to expand our closet, so
everything was messy and we were pretty worn out and we didn't get a chance
to engage in intimacy on the day that I had calculated that I would ovulate.
I won't know for about a week yet if we've been successful in our first
month of trying, but like I said, I kinda doubt it. I have some ovulation
predictor testers that I should have used this month, but we were so busy I
didn't get a chance to mess with them. Also, I need to buy some more of
them because I only have two and I definitely need at least five to be able
to use them effectively. I can't wait until next week when I can reasonably
expect a test to be accurate. But until then, I've been giving my breasts a
little squeeze in the mornings to gauge their sensitivity since I've heard
that breast tenderness is a good early indicator of pregnancy.
