You Can Probably Hear the Fat Lady Singing from There

It's official, I am NOT pregnant. Big surprise.

On the bright side, at least I don't have to worry what all that spotting meant (in regards to a pregnancy). And, if I teach this coming school year, this will give me one more month of school that I don't have to plan for a sub (since I would have been going on maternity leave mid-March). And, our daughter will be at least one month older and therefore more mature when the new baby arrives. See? Silver lining abounds!

But the best part is that I can return to one of my favorite pastimes: Mad Scientist. I can obsessively take my temperature every morning and record the numbers in my handy cycle tracking software. And I can make hypotheses about thinks like when I will ovulate, or if taking my temperature 5 minutes later than the morning before will throw off my calculations. I can stare at the cool little line graph the software makes and google things like, 'trying to conceive number two' and 'best intercourse positions for conception' and 'preseed'. Hours of fun!
