Conversation

This is the start of a new series I'm calling Conversations. I probably won't post many pictures with these posts. I just want to share weird or funny conversations that I want to remember. 

Josh was reading in bed and I had just finished my nightly ritual. I climbed into bed and he turned his head to look at me. 

Me: What was that?! I swear you just moved really fast. 

Josh: Gives me a confused look

Me: Seriously! It was weird. 

Josh: Shrugs

He obviously has no idea what I'm talking about, so I settle in with my phone and check twitter. A few minutes pass before I look up and Josh turns to look at me again. 

Me: Oh my God! It's your beard! When you turn your head, it scrapes across the pillow case and makes it sound like you're moving fast! 

Josh: Makes the noise over & over

I HAVE MY OWN SOUND EFFECTS!!!

It's the little things that keep us amused. Aren't you glad I shared this nonsense with you? We won't talk about any of Josh's other "sound effects" right now....

PMA, baby. P M A ..... & a Freebie

On Sunday, I posted about my 2nd miscarriage. As you can imagine, it's taken me a little while to get back in the swing of things. I'm feeling better and I thought this would be a great time to do a post about PMA.

PMA stands for Positive Mental Attitude and it's very much what it sounds like. The theory is that having a positive outlook on life will make you a happier and more successful person. It's pretty much the idea that what you put into the universe is what you get back. Good karma & all that.

I know that having a positive mental attitude won't solve all my problems. But I know that negativity won't get me anywhere that I want to be. I'm also a big believer of manifesting your own destiny. I wan't to make the good stuff happen.

Things I can't control, like miscarriage or illness, make having a positive mental attitude difficult sometimes. So, I made myself a little reminder.

Miscarriage Sucks

Goodness! I just don't know where to start with this. I guess the beginning...

I had a Ob/Gyn appointment scheduled for last Wednesday, the 8th, to see what was going on. We had been trying for 6 months and no results. Because my period was due to start in only 2 days, I thought I should take a pregnancy test that morning....just in case. I was sitting on the bathroom floor waiting for the test to process. It looked like nothing had come of it, so I stood up to throw it away. That's when I noticed the faintest pink line. Positive! I was so excited! It was super early, but positive was positive.

It was so early, in fact, that the urine test at the doctor's office was negative. They drew blood to test for sure and called me the following morning to tell me that I was definitely pregnant and that my progesterone levels were FABULOUS!
