Negative

Well, I had the blood test this morning. It was negative. No pregnancy. I've now called NYU clinic to see if I could get a second opinion.

Let's see what happens.

One Week Until The Test

So, the prior two times I've done IVF I got pregnant. Exactly one week before the pregnancy test at the doctors I had a little mini-melt-down as I was SURE I didn't get pregnant.

This time, although I would normally take the test on November 15, that's a Saturday, so the test is scheduled for Monday, the 17th.

That makes today, Saturday, a week before the pregnancy test should be.

And no freak-out. I mean, I don't think I got pregnant, but I didn't burst into tears about it, which makes me think that I'm right this time, because there are no crazy hormones coursing through my veins.

I'll take a home pregnancy test next Saturday, but I'm not optimistic. Although, statistically speaking, I only had a 50% chance each time I did this, I just figure it wasn't my time.

Keep your fingers crossed anyway.

When I Knew

At 8:30 this evening Chris and I went down to grab dinner at our friend's, Marc and Blue, resturant (which is just downstairs from our apartment). They didn't have a TV so we set them up with our extra TV and an antenna. In exchange for the use of the TV & rabbit ears we got a free dinner. Hooray!

At 8:30 the only possibly weak state that went for Obama was Pennsylvania. Virginia, Florida and Indiana were too close to call. I was a little nervious and a little down.

So we went to dinner.

And we slowly watched the returns come in I felt better and better and at about 9:30 when Ohio went easily for Obama and the electoral count went to 195 I knew, it was done. I sent an email out to a bunch of my friends. It said:

195 + CA, HI, WA & OR = win

And he just did. It got called moment ago.

And I started to cry.

I Voted...

I Am A Bad Democrat

Instead of going to the Obama rally today (which started at 11am), I stayed home and watched a marathon of The West Wing first season on Bravo.

Yes, I know I own the first season of the West Wing on DVD. What's your point?
