My Journey
Good Day
Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2003 @ 10:41 p.m.

I'm feeling much better tonight, compared to last night. I had a really nice day at school and at my girls' club at church this evening. Those kids are such good kids. They just make me smile. It makes me feel like I am doing something worthwhile, rather than sitting around waiting to bave a baby. Sometimes I don't look forward to my evenings at the girls' club. It's usually because I'm tired from work, and would rather be lazy at home. When I get there I do enjoy myself though. Today I wasn't feeling tired, and that made it even more fun. My Bible study with the 7 and 8 year old girls was great too. The girls behaved well and were involved in our discussion. Anyway, the point is that I had a pretty nice day today, and I'm feeling much more positive.

As far as my cycle goes, there aren't any fertile signs yet. Last time it didn't happen until after I gave myself the shot. Maybe it will be like that this time too. Tomorrow I'll have the ultrasound, and my principal is planning to watch my class while I'm gone. I keep playing through my mind what I'm going to say to my class and hoping that they won't ask me too many questions. I'll try to brush it off like it's no big deal, just a check-up (what my mom suggested) or a test (my idea). I'll start out by saying a doctor's appointment, and if they ask what for, I think I'll say it's for a test.

I hope my follicles look good tomorrow. I am going in one day later than last time, so I expect them to be bigger. I also hope that it won't be too hectic for me to be leaving school and returning to my class in the middle of the school day!
