Let's Play a Game...

I've been a downer lately - chalk it up to the looooooong wait for microarray results and the crashing hormones after ER with no ET. Today is 16 days post biopsy so another 4 weeks to go. Ugh.

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to play a little game, totally made up and thought up in my mind and probably a reflection of how unstable I feel these days. So if the rules don't make sense, put it down to the hormones okay?

So here's the game. When I am cycling or trying to get pregnant the old fashioned way (by doing the BD ladies...yes, rumour has it that some people actually do get pregnant by doing the BD), I get all superstitious. If someone helps me along the way, I am so grateful that I often think to myself "I'm going to name my kid after you"! Last cycle, before I left for Denver, I actually qualified for local radio contest to win a trip for 2 for Breakfast in Barbados. You know, the contests where they qualify the first 5 callers starting with the 25th caller for the draw the next morning...I was caller 30 so I finally qualified after years and years of trying (hmmm...years and years of trying...why does that sound familiar??). Anyway, I didn't win the trip, but the act of actually qualifying for the draw was so exciting and I thought to myself, "I'm going to name my kid after you [the radio DJ] because this is an indication of more good things to come right?!".

As I have said before, I am so grateful for all of the wonderful people I have met in Blogland and for the outlet this gives me to express all of my emotions. In honour of my gratitude, let's all pretend that we're going to name our kids with the help of the blogger "word verification" (the sometimes real, sometimes made up nonsensical letters they randomly put together to fool the spam software out there) that needs to be typed in before you can submit a comment :).

You get 3 tries to get a word you like and then you have to answer the following questions:

1. What did blogger name your kid?
2. Is it a boy's or girl's name?
3. What does it mean (make it up if you have to - extra points for being creative!! extra extra points if you can tie it back to IF and TTC!!) and how do you say it (make this up too if it's a funny looking word!)?

Good luck to you all and I hope Blogger word verification is kind to all of us!

I posted on someone else's blog this AM and I'm going to use that verification word as an example:
1. What did blogger name your kid? CYLOWNH
2. Is it a boy's or girl's name? Girl
3. What does it mean and how do you say it? It's pronounced with a soft "c" at the beginning so it sounds like the "s" in the word "soft". SIGH-LONE. It means "force to be reckoned with" as its origins are from the word "cyclone"!
