A Soft Spot For The Canucks

Okay, yes, yesterday was an exciting day, what with the embryo transfer and all.

But guess what happened today?

I got THIS in the mail from a Canadian friend and fellow Canucks fan!

Now, I have a Daniel Sedin jersey, and a t-shirt with the Canucks' logo, and a Canucks cap... but somehow this pillow makes my fandom official. It has just the right amount of kitch, while still making me INCREDIBLY EXCITED for the Stanley Cup Finals.

The what?

THE STANLEY CUP FINALS!!! And I am gonna be clutching this sucker through every second of every game until the Canucks are hoisting that Cup above their heads and the entire country of Canada explodes with joy.

It has to be a good sign that the Canucks locked their spot in the finals the night before my transfer, right?

I'm gonna say yes.

I'm gonna say it was a sign.

Here's hoping the winning streak continues for the Canucks... and for me.

A playoff towel pillow????? OMGosh does it get any better!! I'm so jealous!!! OH wait...I do have the softest Canucks snuggi in the world. My stepson gave it to me for Christmas and yes I use it during every game! LOL

I'm thinking that game 5( I don't want to be too cocky and say we'll win the Cup in 4) should be around the end of your 2ww.. I think is definitely a great sign!!!
Although should the Canucks win and you end up pregnant with twin girls you'll have to name them Henrika and Danielle. bwwhahahaha

Hugs!

I think Heather is looking for "fan-atic"

Thinking strong baby thoughts and sending hope for your growing family. Thank you for sharing the journey

My Books (with Elizabeth Craft)

'Bass Ackwards and Belly Up' and 'Footfree and Fancyloose' tell the story of four best friends who commit the ultimate suburban sin: putting off college to pursue their dreams.
Publisher's Weekly said: "Full of romance and adventure, laughter and tears, the story is a reminder that veering from the straight and narrow road doesn't always lead to a dead end."

What is Starfish Envy??

L.A. 2009. I’m stuck in traffic on the 101 freeway, listening to Isabella Rosselini on NPR. Isabella, for some reason, mentions that starfish are one of those rare species that can reproduce asexually, and I realize that if I could do that, I wouldn't have to worry about finding a boyfriend/husband. I wouldn’t have to internet date! I wouldn't have to figure out if I want to/can/should have a baby/adopt a baby/child on my own. I wouldn't have to stress about things like FSH levels, or weigh my feelings on in vitro versus adoption. I would just have a baby. Thus began my starfish envy.
