A Meme Distraction

It's 11 DPO. We tested last night and it's still too early for that darn HcG to show up. I'm going to pick up a few cheap tests at the dollar.tree while I'm out and about today so we can test tonight or tomorrow night. Right now we only have the super fancy "we spell it right out for you" tests that we're not going to use unless we get a BFP on another one first.

Today is kind of an important day in our TTC process. Historically, by 11 or 12 dpo we know by J's temps which way it's going to go. Of course in the past it's always been a BFN. I am very hopeful that this time things will be different, but I can't help the anxiety that's creeping into the pit of my stomach.

We'd like to test either tomorrow night or Sunday morning, provided her temps stay up. J wanted to test tomorrow morning but I have to work all day. Whichever way the test falls I'd rather be home to share the moment with her rather than spend all day at work watching the clock. Although, I could always go in for a little bit and then come home early. We're supposed to get eleventy billion inches of snow, so it's not totally out of the question. If I didn't have a big kid's party I'd just stay home alltogether. (sorry for my stream of consciousness here...lol)

Anyway here's a meme to help further take my mind off of this exciting time. J did it over a year ago while we were in the beginning stages of TTC, and I think it's pretty neat. Here goes:
