The List

After trying on our own before starting with the Fertility Specialist (Jeff calls this B.D. before doctors) I would get upset each month when there was no occupancy. My emotions have been heighten the last 6 months working with the Fertility Specialist (A.D. after doctor). If I was to have it on a scale B.D. fell between 4-6 (1 being low emotion 10 not getting out of bed and eating ice cream for 2 days). A.D. scale is has been 2 level 6's, 2 level 7's, 1 level 9 and 1 level 10.

Through this process I have learned 1) I am not alone 2) My husband is a a very patient and loving man 3) I have some amazing friends and some that just will never understand & 4) I have discovered the list.

The list came after a crying session and making brownies with my best friend. In her comforting tone she started to list all the things that I can do because of my lack of tenant(s). This got me thinking, each month I wait and pray for occupancy and the disappointment can be so overwhelming. Just when I think I am relaxing and feeling fine a level 7 destruction comes on as I pee on another stick that reads "no room at the inn".

Jeff and I prepared the list of things that we can do to celebrate another month as DINK's (double income no kids). Below is the start of the list. Please share any suggestions. Who knows how long before someone takes up residency:)
