You deserve it



There are a lot of expressions out there that I can't even begin to explain; this game gets even more fun when trying to explain stupid expressions to those who are learning English as a second language because let's face it -- half of what we say makes no sense.  There's more than one way to skin a cat?

I digress.

"You guys deserve to be pregnant."

Listen.  I'm not one for disagreeing with the collective awesomeness of Porch & I, but I'm fairly confident that pregnancy isn't something that comes about because someone 'deserves' it.  I could go further into this notion with talk of science and point to the recent political conversations that make me want to punch a wall (really, degrees and/or legitimacy of rape?!  http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/video/2012/08/29/wisconsin-lt-gov-says-rape-is-rape-but-there-can-be-more-forcible-rape), however I value my sanity and assume you value yours as well.

While feeling down I do admit that I've allowed myself to ask questions like "why me?" or better, "why NOT me?" but I know that it's not because Porch & I are bad people or did something wrong and are being punished.  When it comes down to it -- it's science and a cycle.
hmmmm... its here some where just saw it..baby making..hmm..it says we need to have sex...
Or just pray a lot because I'm sure that'll also solve the problem

So can we please stop using deserve in the same sentence as pregnant?
Have an intense need to use 'deserve'?

"You deserve to be punched in the face.  With a chair. "
Now that's funny.
Admit it - you laughed.

Happy hump day!
xoxo
Mrs Porch

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool.  Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

Maternity Pictures

I let out the biggest squeal of joy when I went to get the mail today and found this package waiting for me! Seriously, I've been stalking Bobbi's life and seeing everyone's amazing teasers was making me so much more excited to get our pictures!  I'm so happy to share the amazing work done by Bobbi at The Salty Peanut.  I highly recommend her to all of my Wisconsinite friends, particularly those in the Madison area, though she's willing to travel.  Check out the website here  and let her know that Mrs. Porch sent you her way!  Her work speaks for itself so I won't gush too much...... I seriously cannot pick a favorite.  So I'm not going to.  But you can!  :) Just 19 days until Baby Porch is predicted to arrive!  I'm so happy we got these back before she arrived; it's such a fun way to remember this exciting time in our lives.  And soon, we won't look nearly as well-rested, but we'll have ...

when even the doctor feels badly for you

went for the repeat ultrasound yesterday with my heart filled with positive thoughts and feelings just to find out that my uterine lining is WAY too thick to move forward. in fact, dr. b was worried because my uterus and ovaries seem to be having different conversations about where they are in my cycle. blood was drawn and results revealed that i hadn't ovulated and so, my dear friends, i am back on birth control for an undetermined length of time. the short version of this paragraph:  i didn't bleed enough this month so i have to do it again. you know it's rough when even the doctor has that sad look in her eyes and wraps up the appointment with, "I feel so bad for you, it's just one thing after another." that's why i like her, to be honest. let's not sugar coat this process and let's skip the whole "we'll get 'em next time, tiger" pep talk. it sucks. and we're allowed to feel that, my fellow infertility peeps. it's o...
