Here it is - a glimpse into my life. For the most part, those of you that know me probably know a little too much info about my life. I'm quite the "open book", if you will. Here's another tidbit. What does this picture tell you about me? Okay, other than the fact that I'm a pill-popping, no cap-on-the-toothpaste-tube-puttin', secret slob.
Look closely (if you're totally blind or a complete idiot). 
I have an LH surge! I swear to Sweet Baby Jesus I thought I was barren! It's decision-time in the newly deemed Merrill residence. Do we "go for it"? Do I continue to focus on my career while barnacles develop on my ovaries and my eggs shrivel up and die? Okay, I got a little carried away on that - I have NEVER focused on my career. My apologies. Let's just break this down, shall we? Pros: pregnancy is a good excuse for the weight gain, gray hair, total inability to filter my thoughts prior to them exiting my mouth. And, oh yeah, a baby (almost forgot that - it's a joke, people). Cons: more weight gain WITH the added bonus of stretch marks, birth, no sleep, no money, big nipples (it's just what I heard), a baby that's MINE, being responsible for the development of another human being. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... They say that you only have a 25% chance of conceiving under the best of circumstances. Those odds are looking better all the time! |
