I can't turn my brain off...

First of all, you didn't come to the wrong blog- I finally got the motivation to turn on my laptop (instead of my iPad that I use 99.9% of the time) and set up my blog the way I want it.  Pink is my favorite color, but I thought the grass and flowers represents Spring and on the same note, new life.  I've also added a bunch of blogs to my list.  If you are on there, I promise to read through your entire blogs soon- what I was able to peruse quickly intrigued me enough to want to read more.  I've also added some labels to my posts and a "Followers"  tool.  I'd like to see you (YES, YOU!!) sign up as a follower.

Insomnia sucks... every thought is running through my head.  Am I pregnant?  Am I going to have another failed cycle?  If I am pregnant, am I going to be able to keep it a secret as long as I want?  Am I finally going to be able to use one of my MANY pregnancy reveal stories I've come up with over the years?  I have a really good one if this cycle is successful.  AM I TOTALLY JINXING MYSELF FOR MAKING PLANS??

I'm sure a lot of IF-ers feel the same way as me, but I try so hard to not get excited about every little early pregnancy symptom that I feel.  I get myself too worked up, and then brutally crushed after every BFN.  But this is the reality of being an IF-er.  We never get to get excited about anything because the fear wins out- the fear of another failed cycle, the fear of a loss, the fear of having to explain to one more person why you don't have kids yet, the fear of waiting for even the slightest glimmer of a BFP.

Ok, it's 2:30 in the morning and I have to go to church in the morning (later this morning I guess).  I suppose I should turn off the TV and go to bed.  I don't know how I'm going to fall asleep though...
