Charlotte York

Oh, Charlotte York. Do you remember this moment in Sex & the City?  She was given a baby toy that had the sweet message engraved on it by Trey, her husband before Harry. I remember hearing those words the first time several years ago and liking them. I heard them again a few months ago on a sleepy-Sex & the City-watching-Sunday and they took my breath away.  Charlotte York was always my favorite character on Sex & the City. She was more conservative, Episcopalian-that's me!, traditional, and her dream was to have a wonderful husband and family. She learned that not everything has to be perfect to have it.  When I watch old episodes of her having a difficult time conceiving, I truly feel for her. When she finds out that she is pregnant in the first movie, I cried. Triumph!



I'm starting to think I got a false positive opk. It's disappointing, but I would rather see a false opk than a false hpt.  My bbt is what is leading me to think that the test was false because I have not seen the temperature increase. For the last three days my bbt has been at 96.5 and has just been hanging out in that range. Had I ovulated, my temperature range would have increased the day after. This has not happened.

So...this is not terrible.  It just means that my cycle is longer than average. That's ok.  I'll hopefully O in the next week. We shall see...

This weekend is my birthday weekend..my birthday is next Tuesday. I'm really excited to celebrate with some good friends and family. Occasions such as this can raise questions in my mind. Could this be my last birthday before I become a mother? Lately any occasion makes me wonder that. Hopefully in due time I will know the answer to the question.

Embracing the Charlotte in me, -Natalie
