It’s time for ICLW, so I’m kicking it off with some alphabet soup. It was high time I tilt my head sideways and see what spills out of my brain.

  • Awkward. A word my friends tend to say often around me after I just said something that crossed the line. Usually prefaced with me saying “Hey guys, want to hear a gross joke?”
  • “Big Booty Grandma” a search term someone used to find this site. Sorry dude, you (hopefully) left disappointed. Besides, a big booty grandma? Wouldn’t it just sink to the floor anyway?
  • Cautiously Optimistic. Keeping my thoughts positive that we’re going to come home with a baby. (Something I can’t fathom.)
  • Diversions. I’m thankful for any distraction that gets me through the day and one day closer to our next ultrasound.
  • Errands. They are building up, and I could care less.
  • Financially Screwed. Forget a college fund, kid. We already spent it on our Shared Risk IVF package. Hope you’re a smart one, or can at least push a lawn mower.
  • Geek. I’m a huge geek. Anything with a screen, power cord, and buttons makes me scream like a little girl.
  • “Huge Booooob” Another search term some poor sap used to find my site. Not only were they specific enough to only want to pleasure themselves to a singular breast, but it needs to be huge. Is there such a thing as uni-boob like there is uni-brow?
  • IVF. Need I say more?
  • Jello. I’ve never been a fan of it, well, except if it’s in a pool with scantly clad females. Ok, I confess, I’ve never seen jello wrestling, and I don’t get the appeal.
  • Kitties. Do I get man points for thinking they are the cutest things ever? No? Oh well.
  • Liver. After every BFN, it hates me with with the fiery burning of two thousand suns.
  • Macallan Scotch. Yes please (see “L”). I think every IVF should come with a bottle.
  • Ovaries. I’ve learned more about ovaries and the female reproductive cycle than I care to admit. What ever happened to the simple “insert tab a into slot b?”
  • Penis. (*giggle*) We saw one on our ultrasound. Oh My God. It’s a Boy!!!
  • Quit. Something we’ve thought about doing many times in the last 5 years.
  • RSC of the Bay Area. Thank you for our small miracle that is under construction.
  • Second Trimester. I never thought we’d make it here.
  • Third Trimester. God, I pray we make it here
  • Understanding. Something I wish from “fertiles.”
  • Vocabulary. I find it lacking, as evident in this post.
  • Weight. It is a constant struggle, and I’m trying to get motivated. Want to join in?
  • X-Rated Movies. Unfortunately, they did nothing to help get things “moving” in the collection room.
  • Yellow Cake. I should get some for Shelby. It’s her favorite.
  • Zero. The work I got done the other day. Damn blogs.

This was my first A to Z entry, and is it just me, or is anyone else paranoid that they left out a letter? I counted them like 5 times!
