So, I’m currently 12 dpo and have no news. nothing. I’ve done two tests in the past 36 hours and both came up as BFNs. Or as Lo put it “that couldn’t be more negative!”
But nothing else has happened either. I’m trying to be cautiously optimistic. We’ve used a few dollar store tests and I’m planning on saving the one remaining good test for Friday morning. That’s 14 days post IUI, so I’m hoping for a good result. Other than that, I’m praying AF doesn’t show up.
It’s so funny to be on this side of things. When we were TTC with Lo, I almost dreaded talking to her during the day, afraid that she would tell me AF arrived. She’s doing the same thing to me right now.
It’s business as usual for us outside of the 2ww stress.
I’m still checking Sir Trust Fund Associate’s emails daily and we are under mass amounts of pressure to be the floor that wins our “clean up” project to prepare for the carpeting and painting (with our raise money) in a colossal non-billable time project. Wahoo.
As for my wonderful and amazing family at home, we are doing well.
The other night, we received a large box on our doorstep from Ca.bella’s. Lo immediately grilled me on what I purchased without her consent. (btw – I have been a saint about spending money lately since we are trying for #2.)
We opened it up and found something bizarre. It was a gift from my mother’s aunt (my great aunt?) whom I haven’t seen in years. Apparently, she asked my mom for our address and wanted to send Shmoo something. I am not sure if this was a mistake or this is really what she meant to send.
Here it is…
I’m going to send a thank you and tell her that Shmoo loves the wall.eye.fish.pillow. Maybe that is what she meant to send him. Hmm….
As for the Shmoo, his wonderful aunt Deana (who likes giving him noisy toys and teaching him silly things) taught Shmoo how to do “taco tongue” as Deana calls it. I’ve always thought this was “tongue folding” but I guess he likes it when we call it “taco tongue.”
The first video is the lesson. The second video is the next night, showing off his mad skillz. (I can’t even do this.)

I think this skill is at least partially genetic, I think. So, maybe you don’t have the genes to be able to do it, but Andrew does!

I have a friend who has a very similar pillow. He named it “Troutsky” (as in Trotsky).

Wow that is some serious tongue action he has. I was just trying to get Cam to do that the other day and he can’t.
Nice big honkin’ fish pillow!
Sorry about the BFN! It could be early still!!!!

He is so cute. Them are some serious skillz
Good luck for Friday.
I think he’ll love that pillow. He will probably take it every where and you guys will hate it and it will be this big joke.
Just you wait

He’s adorable. Riley loves doing that tongue. I think it’s a genetic thing–my sister once told me that.
That pillow is interesting…
FX that the first tests were too early and you’ll still get a BFP!!!

That kid is sooo cute. Yeah, I think being able to do the ‘taco tongue’ is genetic. I can’t do it either.
Wow. That is quite the gift.
Sorry about the BFN but it’s still early! Hope the next time you take a test you get a different result.

hmmm… that was a very “thoughtful” gift.
At least it wasn’t that “talking trout” from a few years back!
Taco tongue is awesome. That boy has some talent!!
Here’s wishing for good good luck when you test next time!!

We have similar pillows (one an alligator, one a dolphin) given to the girls by Jess’ dad. LOL! They actually love them and play with them a lot.
