Hello blog-o-sphere. Two posts in one week...I know, I know...Please hold all applause until the end of my presentation plea. This is merely a begging of mercy from me, the husband not your usual attempt at comic relief.
As you all know by now, JJ is in her resting state after the current IVF with ICSI. As most of you know by now JJ is self admittedly a worry wart. She has more than enough reason to show concern with our current point of life (and I am right there with her). I can not however get enough help in easing her mind.
I assure JJ that the "Planets" (cause there's nine! Pluto counts damnit!), are in the best possible place they can be in. These doctors know what it is, that they do. I jokingly bring up the evidence of me not being able to keep up with a pair of socks much less nine microscopic embryos, so its a good thing they didn't send them home in a cooler. She doesn't quite find the humor in my speech. So, I digest. (A little Family Guy there...anyone? anyone?)
I have asked that JJ take a small break from the blogging world. This isn't to say she won't be chatting it up on email. Two reasons: 1.) She lives on the Internet with both work and normal life and 2.) Shes stubborn as a mule when it comes to things like this. I have simply asked that she refrain from Internet searches (preggo/IVF related) as well as yous guys' blogs. I hope you all can understand. I really just want her to relax and keep her mind occupied. This is a short term thing, I swear!
So my plea to you is to be understanding in her short absence and I certainly welcome any and all positive comments or support. She is a great woman and I love her dearly. So, with everything I can possibly muster, thank you for everyone's support and understanding. You all are wonderful!
Have a great break, JJ, and I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers during the wait. Wishing you nothing less than the fulfillment of your heart's desire.
ReplyDeleteHave a most fantastic break! I'll be thinking of you. All crossables are crossed for a happy ending! Big, big hugs
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely break, you both.
ReplyDelete*hugs*
JJ- We'll miss you, but you've earned a break from worrying about the blogosphere! Relax (that's what gets you knocked up right??? Hee!) and know that we're all still here thinking the best possible thoughts for you and your "planets"!
ReplyDelete-kate
Mook--You're a sweet hubby!
ReplyDeleteJJ--have a wonderful little break :)
Hugs and hugs JJ- You deserve a break but I hope you come back soon! :)
ReplyDeleteLove & Luck
First, I tried this blog about three times today and a few times yesterday and it crashed. That was from my google reader. When I clicked on it from my sites' blogroll, it came up. Strange.
ReplyDeleteNext, I just caught up and am excited about the fabulous nine! Nine is good. Nine is clearly enough to work with. Keeping fingers crossed for you! And you're in my thoughts and prayers.
Last, Mook I know that we completely understand the leave of absense, and support whatever works for JJ. She is fabulous!
Best of luck and good wishes and baby dust!!!
If a break is what you guys need, a break is what you shall have, no questions asked!! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's to hope for you!!
My thoughts and wishes will be with you.
ReplyDeleteJJ, just enjoy the break and kick those feet up. We're always here for when you're ready to come back. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSo, Mook, you'd better keep giving us our fix of ReproJeans or well come after y'all.
ReplyDeleteTotally understand where you're coming from, Mook. Enjoy the break, JJ and I'm pulling for your 9 embies. 9 is an awesome number!!!! Come visit when you're back in action.
ReplyDeleteShe can refrain but not relax. There's no relaxing allowed out here in the IF-blogosphere, cuz if it gets credited with making babies, we might all have to scream.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the break JJ.
A very wise choice. Sometimes the blogging can just be so overwhelming and can really mess with a girl's head.
ReplyDeleteWe'll still be all wishing, hoping, praying and finger crossing in the meantime.

Mook - you just keep makin' me like you more and more. JJ enjoy your break - I'm thinking of all 11 of you!
ReplyDeletexoxo
You both enjoy yourselves ok. I hoping for good news.
ReplyDeleteJJ, have a fantastic, relaxing break!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the both of you. :)
Great idea. Have a great break. Wishing you lots of luck!
ReplyDeleteThis is very sweet of you Mook, you're taking excellent care of JJ.
ReplyDeleteJJ take good care of yourself and try to enjoy your bed rest. Totally pamper and spoil yourself.
Thinking of you.
I believe this is my first comment on your blog.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a lovely break... i hope it's a good one...and but of course, i won't tell you to relax now..:)
I believe this is my first comment on your blog.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a lovely break... i hope it's a good one...and but of course, i won't tell you to relax now..:)
We'll miss you JJ, but a break never did anyone any harm ;) Wishing you all the best!
ReplyDeleteYou know we'll miss you sweetie but I think that it's a brilliant idea and maybe just what you need. We all need a break sometimes and now is as perfect a time as any other!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy about your little 9, try not to compare...more is not always better! Will be hoping and praying as always for you dear fried xxx
Have a good break, and I'll be thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a GREAT idea...the internet will drive you mad during times like these. My hubby made me very aware of how "addicted" I was to a certain infertility website during our IUI cycles so I deleted my account and it was honestly one of the best things I could have done. There's just too much out there.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice break and pass along a hug to JJ!!
Have a great break JJ! We'll all be here when you're ready. Love you!
ReplyDeleteHow can we argue when you bring Family Guy reference into it? Have a good break, JJ. A lot of people will be on that 2WW with you!
ReplyDeleteHave a great break JJ. We will miss you but will be right here waiting when mook says it is ok to come back. Hopefully with information about a bfp. Enjoy your little vacation.
ReplyDeleteHave a great break, JJ! We'll be here when you're ready.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck this cycle! Enjoy your break and I will continue to pray that when you do come back it is with FANTASTIC news.
ReplyDeleteHave a good break. I hope you come back soon and happy.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for looking out for your wife and family. Sending best wishes and enjoy your down time.
ReplyDeleteJJ, so glad that everything went so well with retrieval. Nine is a great number! That's how many I had (I hope it doesn't break the rules to tell you that, but remember, I am loving the similarities in our cycles . . . ducks/geese and now NINE embryos).
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your rest, Sweet Pea.
Mook - wishing you and JJ the best. A break sounds like a good idea and I hope it works :).
ReplyDeleteJJ, enjoy the blogging break and rest up!
ReplyDeleteMook- you take care of yourself and your woman!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you both
Mook, dude, you are the Bomb! I'm so proud of you both, taking this step toward sanity. I pray that you have the most wonderful time together and I applaud both of you for being so strong. Curl up with a good Dr Cross novel, JJ. We will all be thinking of you with a full heart. Mook, might I suggest some foot massages and smelly good candles? Aromatherapy and relaxation... good for what ails ya!
ReplyDeleteJJ and Mook,
ReplyDeleteit is your love that will get you through this. Be well. Hold hope. Know that life will be good to you. Keep being there for each other.
I think it is great that you are taking care of her so much! Rest up and cannot wait to hear all about it when you return! NCLM
ReplyDeletemook, you are too sweet. enjoy this break together.
ReplyDeletemy hub would be so lucky if I listened to him that way...
take care of each other.
Take as long as you both need. We'll be here when you're ready to come back.
ReplyDeleteTake all the time you need! Take care of yourself, rest, enjoy your break, and we'll be here when you get back.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mook 100% rest and don't Google anything -- you can find anything true or not online and its not good for a worry wart - believe me I am one!
ReplyDeleteYep, Google is evil. If you are a search engine addict like me, staying away from the computer is probably the best thing right now. Here's hoping for you!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely break. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteDo what you gotta do.
ReplyDeleteMy fingers are crossed, hon.
Good luck!! I hope those embies are burrowing in for the long haul!!
ReplyDeleteMook...I must say...you are an awesome husband! Of course we are all understanding of JJ needing a break and we are all rooting for you guys! I am wishing much relaxation vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteTake some time for yourself, JJ! And give lots of hugs and loves to your amazing Mook, who obviously loves you more than anything!
ReplyDeleteSo stay away from this crazy internet thingy for a while, and take care of each other!
Best wishes during your break, JJ. I'll be thinking of you and praying for you sweetie!!! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteDo whatever it takes. I am still pulling for you both.
ReplyDeleteDo whatever you need to do, you two. I don't blame you for taking a break. Take care of yourselves, and I'll be thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break. It is good to get away from everything once in awhile. All the reading, comparing, and over analyzing can make us crazy.
ReplyDeleteAll my best and lots of big (hugs).
Rest, sweetie. Take care of yourself. We will all still be here when you return.
ReplyDeleteJust one word to pass on to Miss JJ: BELIEVE.
ReplyDeleteI'm believing for you just in case. But please believe that wonderful things happen in life.
Thinking of you...
