Receiving
the call was not a total surprise, but was still disappointing. How can you
miss something that was never there? Nicole and I sulked a little but then were
just eager for me to get my period so we can start again. We went out to dinner
as planned, and it was really nice. Nicole’s sister had given her a gift certificate
for her birthday last month for the local Italian restaurant that we LOVE right
across the street from us. I suggested using it to go out and celebrate if we
learned we were pregnant, and Nicole said she thought we should go no matter
what. That way we wouldn’t feel extra punished after already receiving
difficult news, and it would be something we could look forward to no matter
what. I’m so glad she said that, and it actually ended up feeling like the
start of a new beginning, looking forward to the next cycle and the next
attempt.
And in
the meantime, I’m going to enjoy a few things that I couldn’t while possibly
being pregnant:
--a
frozen Coke (check! Nicole brought me one when she picked me up from the train
yesterday)
--a
Frappucino on Friday morning
--a
pedicure (Nicole didn’t want me going into a nail salon where there are strong
vapors)
Those
will be my three indulgences, and then we will get back on the horse.
