One of the bookstore chains around me is closing some of their stores. So I've been wandering in there now and then in search of a good deal. Well, the other day I was in pregnancy book heaven. I was picking out books for $2-$4!!! The most expensive thing was one of those pregnancy organizers. It was only $6!!! You really can't beat that.
I guess it's part of my way of being positive, prepared, and not pessimistic. It's way too easy to get sad and depressed about IVF or just IF in the first place.
How do you get prepared? How do stay positive?
A friend asked me about celebrating her birthday in September. A lot can happen between now and then. I said I would keep the date open but couldn't promise that I would fork over the money to spend the night at the hotel just yet. She's so excited she's ready to book everything today. But I did tell her that I am hoping to be pregnant by then so I wasn't sure.
Do you think that's jinxing things?
I'm not letting this whole process define me or take over my life...but when someone is talking about plans that are going to involve money, I can't promise something when a LOT could happen in the next 5 months.
Am I totally crazy for thinking ahead like that? Is that TOO much of positive thinking??
You are not totally crazy...you are doing the best thing for you...staying positive. I gave up being negative about IF for Lent...seriously the hardest thing I've had to do in a long time...nothing like giving up Starbucks or chocolate.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just have to go after what you really want...it may happen tomorrow or it may happen in a few months...but staying positive can't hurt....I'm a firm believer of that :)
Good luck!
Wow...that is definitely a challenge right there. But hubby thought I might be jinxing it a little thinking that way. It's good to know that someone else in my shoes is also trying to be as positive as possible.

I didn't know I had a fb link....I'll have to check into that....I'm trying to be somewhat anonymous with my blog...linking to fb doesn't help with that.
