My way of handling the 2ww (the two weeks from when I ovulate until I find out if I'm pregnant or not) is far from helpful. So far, while waiting to see if I am knocked up this month I have: watched TV shows about pregnant women, obsessively looked for charts that look like mine on Fertility Friend, stalked the birth month boards on The Bump (especially October 2011 because I REALLY want to be there), and repeatedly consulted a Magic 8 Ball.
Yes, you heard that right, a Magic 8 Ball, like you had when you were a kid....my favorite coffee shop has one sitting on the counter where you wait for your coffee. This month, after I had confirmed O, I asked the Magic 8 Ball if I was pregnant and going to have an October baby. It said yes. I have since asked it on a daily basis and it continues to assert that I will be having a baby in October.
My husband thinks that I am a goofball. I immediately told him that the Magic 8 Ball said I was pregnant and that I was going to be very disappointed if it was wrong. He thinks it's funny, but it is really getting my hopes up. What is wrong with me?!? A Magic 8 Ball? I mean, it's a floating geometric shape with Yes and No written on it...it's not even as impressive as a psychic!
I want to test very badly tomorrow, but I also want to make myself wait until Monday when my period should be showing up. I feel like I will be really let down and a little angry with the Magic 8 Ball if I see a BFN. Yep, I will actually be mad at the Magic 8 Ball... Oh, well. Such is the crazy that the 2ww brings out in me, I guess.
