A Childless Christmas


Its 1pm here on the east coast.  My husband and dogs are taking a Christmas nap.  We already did breakfast and mimosas, and gifts.  The dogs got treats... we got gifts periodically from family over the past week and opened them as they came.  So no gifts today, no waking up early for Santa   We woke up and went to a friends to feed and let out their dog.  Then we came home and did cinnamon rolls out of a can and mimosas cause there is no one to impress with a big fancy breakfast.  We watched a Christmas movie and now its downtime before we go to work and go see a movie.   Rich and I didn't do presents this year, I think its because our spring vacation on a cruise is considered our gifts to each other.  Although I am reminded of a gift I got 2 years ago, a Tiffany necklace with a beautiful note saying "one more year closer to having a baby".   I cried.  No gifts this year, no tears, just a restful peaceful day... and one more year closer to having Christmas with our own child.

Another One Bites the Dust.

I had one of my major migraines this weekend... complete with all night puking and a migraine hangover the next day.  Needless to say it wasnt a very fun weekend at all.   Usually I can catch these during the day head them off at the pass with meds, water, food and a laydown.  I know the triggers too.  So what was up with this one? I have no idea, I went to bed Saturday night, and woke up in the middle of the night full blown migraine.  When they are full blown its hard to stop because I cant keep any of the meds down. So it was a very long night.  Rich asked why did this one happen... i have no clue, none of my usually signs were there and I didnt have any triggers like lack of sleep, day in the sun, poor food intake, long exercise, or anything.  So then in the we hours this morning while my dog was begging for food I thought... hey maybe i should take a pregnancy test.   So after I got up and got ready I took it.


Big fat negative.  Migraine was just a migraine, no pregnancy.  Back to work.
