Weekend Update

Yesterday morning I woke up to temp and my temp jumped by .2 degrees. Uh-oh, I thought... I must have ovulated overnight. I got up, double checked my temp with fertility friend and realized that we would have to inseminate ASAP. I ate another egg mcmuffin and woke the hubby. We prepped the sperm and spermed up. I then lay with my hips propped 1/2 an hour and then inserted an instead cup to keep everything in, flipped and lay on my stomach with hips up another 1/2 hour. We then got ready and went to Chinook's for lunch. I did a huge cheat lunch, but it was worth it! We grocery shopped on the way home and then made a quick dinner before my stake conference.
I was really excited for stake conference. Elder Holland was presiding and it was amazing! I was sick right before it started and consequently lost my good seat, but I still was able to see and hear the apostle pretty well. The spirit was present at our conference. He spoke all about faith, enduring until the happy days, and that God loves us no matter what and he can fix broken things. I came home very uplifted.
Today I woke and my temp was still up, so I'm thinking I ovulated during the night of Friday to Saturday which means we inseminated 6 or 10 hours on either side of ovulation which is perfect! Yeah! I got ready, ate and headed to the general session of stake conference. I went to the overflow seating at RHS and had a much more comfortable seat than the night before. The conference was great and a new stake presidency was called including my old bishop. Elder Holland again spoke and was wonderful. He left an apostlistic blessing on the congregation and it was so moving. I felt so strongly that God loves me, knows me and knows my struggles. I came home from the conference, and we ate lunch then sat on the back deck in the beautiful sunshine. I keep thinking that my little baby is a floating ball of cells right now. I'm so excited. I will start taking the prometrium tomorrow night and continue with it through my first prenatal check-up and then my midwife will decide what to do. I spent the rest of the day relaxing with my wonderful husband and then spoke to my mom & dad on the phone. It's been hard not telling them about our recent ttc, but I just don't think I could disappoint them again with all the ups and downs. Today has been a wonderful day.
