Some weird things

J and I are generally not all that superstitious or anything, but of course with all this IF stuff we will do whatever it takes. We have wished on many eye lashes (does anyone else do that?) and if I have seen any pennies (heads up of course), I picked them up.

So I know I told you all how I got the call about my grandmother dying while I was sitting at CCRM on retrieval day. So that means that she died the same day as our embryos were fertilized (aka: conception). Right after that, we got in the car and went to do a few errands. We went to Bar.nes and No.ble to get me some books for bed rest. As we were walking into the store, we found a penny. It was totally battered and beat up - the shabbiest penny I have ever seen. Even slightly smushed. I gave it to J and he hung onto it. I had kind of forgotten about it and then last Friday, after we got the beta call, J called out to me from his office/man cave. "Did you touch the penny I had in my dish in here?" No, I promise I didn't touch it. I hadn't even seen it. It was totally gone. So his theory is that the penny has done its job and disappeared into the ether, becoming our good news.

Another weird thing. On Friday morning (beta day) I was making myself scrambled eggs. This is kind of gross, but bear with me. As I cracked my eggs, I noticed that one of them was fertilized and had a little something in it. I didn't want to look at it too closely, so I picked it out. But I have to admit that I ate that egg. Weird, right?

Ok, so here's the last one. This evening right after I got my second beta call, I was checking out my friends' blogs. I went to comment on R's blog and had to fill in the auto-captcha. I know there are some sites that have auto-captchas that vaguely resemble words, but the ones on blogger are always complete gibberish. So guess what I got tonight? "Mamma". That really freaked me out. I'm starting to think that the stars are aligning for us. Please let this last.
