I am ridiculous! I went to Target today with the intention of buying the book "what to expect...". First of all I went to look at picture frames when I didn't even want one. I skated around the 'parental' section for about 10 minutes before I picked the book up, read a few pages, and eventually took it with me cover down. When I finally decided to buy the book I actually bought a gift bag and asked for a gift receipt, WTH?
I don't know why I acted like that. Maybe because I was afraid someone would think I was pregnant and ask me about it. Then I'd either be hurt that I had to reply that I wasn't or hurt and paranoid that they thought I was fat, lol. Maybe I felt like if I bought the book it would jinx me. I don't really know.
What I do know is that the book, when I finally got it home, made me really paranoid. It made me mostly paranoid about my chances of conceiving. I have heard a lot of warnings on cigarette labels but never one bout fertility.
It's a wonder anyone ever gets pregnant.

This is the blog, as you may have guessed, about my trying to conceive. I started this blog to make the journey easier, to make myself saner. I have decided to write this blog as if no one is reading it, and maybe they won't. This means that I will be truthfull, direct, and graphic at times also it means that I can write without feeling the need to entertain. So if you are sqweemish or never wanted to know that much about me don't read this blog.
and once you are pregnant, you will read through that book and be even more paranoid. you will be like "OMG i had blue cheese on my salad last week!!!" or "i had a tuna sandwich and now i have mercury poisoning!!!"
ReplyDeletei think it is pretty cute you got the gift bag and everything. and you know....maybe you should treat it like a gift...to yourself. because you are going to be so happy to have that gift when you get your BFP. :)
My pregnant girls made me promise NOT to read that book. Talk and listen to your doctor, and look up stuff on webMD.
ReplyDeleteSmoking...ya, not seeing mention of that on BBC. I smoke, tho I'm trying to quit since I'm TTC, but smokers get preggers ALL THE TIME. Don't read too much into ANY extremes!!!
