Peony,
4.0 rocks it hardcore, girl! Congratulations!!! I totally understand the consumption of all things TTC taking over and kind of "numbing" other joys we would otherwise feel. It''s hard, but I really think that letting joys be something we rejoice over and think about and even bask in is one way we keep from going nuts over the whole having a baby thing. Hard to do, but every once in a while, it works.
So again, CONGRATULATIONS! You''ve done an awesome thing!!
Sunkist,
Whoo hoo for those crosshairs, girl. Isn''t it this amazing feeling to see the lines come up and know, finally KNOW that you''re actually capable of dropping an egg? And then, all the more close to being a mother some day? I was totally *elated* when I saw my first crosshairs. Yay!! I hope that if this isn''t your cycle, that your crosshairs *never* decide to fake out on you. That''s a blessing, for sure! Welcome to the two week wait, sweetie!!
Lovely,
Good to see you again. Always in my thoughts and prayers. Along with Ms. Ebree and Blushing and Dr. K. (And all of us, actually). Speaking of that, I miss Ebree. Wonder where she went off to. Hope I didn''t miss a post while I was away. Actually, for whatever reason, I''ve kind of felt myself waning from this this thread a bit myself. Maybe it''s because of Christmas and all the joys and festivities and family time, or maybe this nutso cycle kind of has me in a irked mood regarding TTC. I don''t know. Anyway, if you''re following up with us, Ebree, know you''re missed and thought of lots! Good things to you this Christmas and in 2009.
Man, we''re gonna have so many blessings and joys in 2009. A whole new year is always so exciting to me. A time to focus in and try to grow a little more, to create new dreams, live out dreams you''ve had for what seems like ever. I just love new years (and try not to think that with them, comes birthdays. Haha. I still get excited like a little girl over my birthday, though.).
Back to Peony,
You know, back when I was awaiting engagement and was visiting Pricescope, I wasn''t aware that there would even be rules about expressing religious points of view, and so, because my faith is so very much a part of me, it was all over in my posts. Since venturing to other forums (like the Around the World one), I''ve learned that some people get flamed for sharing their beliefs and even reprimanded for doing so by the Admin. I would like to follow those rules, but in order to answer your question, I don''t think it''s against the rules for me to say that I trust my life to God and I know that *my* timing isn''t always the best timing (ie: my desperate desire to finally marry Paul. Paul prayed over it and had a time that gave him peace in mind, and it worked out wonderfully, better than I could have dreamed up myself). I also have faith that God brings good things to those who seek Him, and I also believe that children are the best blessing in this world, because it''s God providing you with His own, so you can raise them up in His ways. So, because of that and the peace it brings me and the life I live and the countless times I''ve seen God alive in my life, I know that good things will come to us, and that through the waiting, we''ll also be blessed. Perhaps by patience, or by me and Paul growing even stronger in our marriage (which I can already attest is definitely happening. Paul has grown a more sensitive, soft spirit, in knowing how much he''d like to be a father, but also in seeing my absolute passion for motherhood), or perhaps by allowing us to better prepare for being parents. I guess you never can know why things don''t always happen exactly when you want them to, but looking back, anything that I prayed about and asked for God''s hand in, has turned out okay. Sure, loved ones do pass on, and bad things happen to everyone, but there is something to be said for the comfort that comes during those times, the strengthening of relationships, the growth of inner strength and character. And so, if we really do discover that my body is having issues with conception, we''ll seek follow up, for sure. We''re not of the type who thinks no medical intervention is necessary. If I were sick, we would be praising that there is medical interventions. But since this isn''t something that we have been convinced is an issue for us, and perhaps is just a matter of timing, and while we''re having fun in the process, we''ll just see what happens. If over time, we''re still at the same spot or if I don''t get crosshairs or ovulate on a regular basis or at an incredibly late time of the cycle for multiple cycles, then we''ll look into getting some more information.
And again, let me say that I am in no way attempting to break any rules here; I just wanted to answer a question for Peony. It''s hard to put into words; it''s just about an inner peace about us that faith will see us through. It''s worked so far.

I thought my crosshairs would go away today because yesterday I had a drop. But today the temp went back up to 98.59. So I''m good, I''m good!!
