elfination

No politics for a little bit, just hope.

Six months after a roller-coaster of emotion, pain, drama, gallons of Ben and Jerry’s, and about 30 pounds added…. I am once again the proud owner of a +. (I’m regretting those pounds, but I’ll live.)

That’s all it is right now, a +. It was a + on Sunday night, a + on Monday morning, a + on Tuesday afternoon, and most importantly, a + at the doctor’s office on Wednesday morning.

I’m hoping it changes slowly from a + to a flutter. Maybe a bump. If all goes well, the bump might change into something more incredible by June.

I’m doing everything right this time. I am confident in that. I knew right away that a + was coming. So I’ve been careful. I’ve been cautious. Drinking lots of milk. Eating lots of high-protein foods. Trying not to go too heavy on carbs, but eating lots of fruit.

The next week will be very important for my new +. And me. I’m hopeful.
