Feeling like an eskimo

So, a blizzard has been declared for St. Louis.  The media has been reporting on it for days and have been creating panic all over the metro area.  I wasn't really concerned about it until work closed today - after sending us home at noon yesterday, which never happens.  The Hubs is still at work, fortunately on his way home, and me and the kitties are hunkered down in the house hoping we don't get barricaded in or lose power.  I've charged just about every battery we have, tracked down every flash light, lighter, candle and set of matches and am making sure all of the electronics are fully charged as well.  Hopefully, the Hubs will have the opportunity to finish laughing at me for all of this instead of me saying, "Told ya so."

Today is CD 14, which means that we're likely due for IUI in the next day or so.  I was supposed to have an acupuncture appointment tonight, but with the weather, they have closed the office.  I rescheduled for Thursday afternoon, hoping it won't be too late...I'm really putting all I have into this cycle.  I can't have it not work.  I've found new hope this time and was feeling really optimistic about things going our way this month.  I'm trying not to let the weather stress me.  If I can't get another acupuncture appointment in, it won't be the end of the world, but I know if I end up not preggers, I'll totally blame this stupid blizzard. 

I remember we had a snow and ice storm a few years ago and about 9 months after said storm, there were lots of babies being born.  I'm hoping that happens again and that we are one of many parents welcoming a new baby into this world.

Meanwhile, all this talk of blizzards is making me think of a different kind of blizzard.  Mmmm, blizzard...
