Number Four

Miss V. and I dropped Mr. H off for work this morning. On our way back Miss V. was pondering the following:

"Now we're only two. Number three went off to work."

and added after a short while: "and number four is dead."

Happy 2008, you all!

A new year...

We had a good new year's eve, although it left me speechless for a while.
My intention was to invite good neighbor's of ours for a cheese fondue. They are wonderful people AND they have two kids Miss V. loves to play with.

I always thought they were done having kids, therefore a good choice to ring in the new year with, without being reminded of what was missing from our life.

I didn't even consider the possibility that she might be pregnant. I didn't even look at her belly to see if I needed to be prepared. I didn't even understand her the first time she told me she was, indeed, rather pregnant. I had to ask several times before it registered.

Lovely internet, that's my luck. Surrounded by pregnancies. Ambushed, again.

I am happy to report that I behaved wonderfully when I finally understood. I was rather proud of myself. And I missed my ninja boy fiercely.

Other than that little ambush, we had a lovely evening.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with my RE to do a sonohysterogram to check my uterine plumbing. I am not sure though, whether we can really do that procedure as I am currently close to ovulation (I think) and I am still spotting from my last period. That last part actually worries me a bit. I have seldom spotted for that long. At this point though, there is nothing to do but consult the good doctor.

Happy new 2008.
