The next day (yesterday) was Thanksgiving. I was in the kitchen making my first ever homemade mashed potatoes to take to Nathan's parent's house for dinner, when Nathan got a phone call. He took it in the other room, but I couldn't help but over hear. When the call was over he came down the hall and said "Tarin, you're gonna cry..." but it was too late. I had heard him say "Congratulations" and "When is she due?" and the tears were already streaming down my face. Yup, Marvin and Sarah have baby #2 on the way and I am still struggling to even get one. I cried for a good 20 minutes straight and then did my best to not burst into tears the rest of the night- but it was a really hard day. I had a hard time even looking at Marvin or Sarah and any mention of the new little one just felt like my insides were being ripped apart.
Today, while I was out Black Friday shopping, I got my period. Bad news because the reality hit me even more that I am STILL not pregnant, but good news because it's only been 38 days since the first day of my last period. That's way better than like 70! So we will just try again. Maybe we will get lucky and see a positive test before the end of the year.
