How I keep busy during the two week wait

Waiting for the lil swimmers to get to the egg! Will they make it in time?!

Ask any woman who is trying to conceive and she will tell you, the two week wait (2WW) is the worse. It's during those two weeks that you analyze everything that is going on with your body. OMG, my pee is clear! I must be pregnant. My dog is laying under me! I must be pregnant! I cried watching Ghost last night and I have never cried watching it before. OMG! I must be pregnant. Any pain or twinge that we feel, we absolutely must be pregnant. This is the dreaded two week period that I am trying to avoid. Living my life in two week increments doesn't sound like a good time and it sounds quite mind boggling.

When I was pregnant with Parker, the only early pregnancy symptom I felt was fatigue and an incredible sense of hunger. I could sleep all day if you let me. I blamed it on my Insanity workouts. I also figured I was eating more because I was in month 2 of the workout and they were much more intense. Of course, this was all hindsight. The moral of the story? Because Parker's pregnancy was not planned, I had lived my life as normal. Which is what I've been trying to do even while TTC. I have tried to remain as normal as possible. And while doing so, I've done much MUCH more shopping than I have since December 2011!

I shared my wish list of Domino Dollhouse items and last week I decided to put one of those items in my closet. I ordered the Lana Blouse in the lovely mint green color. With that one blouse, my full on shop-until-you-feel-better frenzy began. Here are a few of the things that I snagged! You know, to keep my mind off the obvious! *winky face*

I signed up for the Julep Maven subscription! Turns out, I'm the "IT Girl" www.julep.com

I've been wanting to try OCC since FOREVER! Now I hear that Sephora will be carrying the line! *shriek* www.occmakeup.com

Shoes are compliments of Ryan by way of Target!

I couldn't pass up this dress from Lands' End. It's a basic dress that I think I can make snazzy, especially with my new tribal wedges! Plus it was 30% off! Whoot!

Sadly enough, this has not cured the "itch" that I feel. I want to buy more. AND I failed to show you all the makeup that I've gotten from work. *hangs head in shame* This is all within a week! Eeek! Please don't show me the bank statement!

If my way of coping during the 2WW isn't going to be budget friendly for you, The Baby Zone has some great ideas on how to keep yourself stress free and busy during these 14 days.

If you are a woman that is or was trying to conceive, how did you handle your two week wait?
