Spider-Embie, Spider-Embie, does whatever a spider can!
(Ana, this is for you! ☺)
This is a story about my lucky charm for this cycle.
For those who don't know the story, several cycles ago, while on the demon drug who must not be named, my IUI was canceled because my lining had thinned to 4.2 mm. We tried on our own (I think we BD'd all of once), anyway, but we were pretty sure nothing could possibly stick. The weird thing was that my LP dragged on for 15 days with no signs of falling temps or AF. Usually my LP is reliably 12 days long with temps starting to plummet around 10DPO, so I tested several times with all BFNs. Ana helped me hold on to a tiny glimmer of hope by singing to me about my Spider-Embie who was holding on tight!! ☺ And, seriously, every cycle since then I've been singing to myself about Spider-Embie and picturing him spinning a web and latching on. I always loved Spider-Man as a kid! (Did anyone else watch the Electric Company with the Spider-Man skits? I love the Electric Company...we actually bought two 6 or 7 disc DVD sets of it recently -- Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno on a kids show? Fargo North, Decoder? Silhouettes making words - c-at, cat? HEEEYY YOOOUUU GUUUUYS!! How can you miss? But I digress...)
So, on the day of IUI#3 last Saturday, my DH and I stopped at Burger King for lunch on our way home. We had a coupon for a free kids meal with a grown-up meal so I got a veggie burger meal (yum -- I love BK fries...) and DH had the kids meal.
This toy was in the kids meal:
So, there you go. My lucky charm. He's been sitting in front of my computer monitor all week.
OMG! Rebecca. What's that for a perfect "sign"?
ReplyDelete... and you kept it secret for so many days! haha
I also am a visual person, so NOW I can send you some fortified Embie Sticking vibes.
Go little guy, go!

ReplyDeleteI LOVED Electric Company and I didn't know it was available on DVD! Hubby is a collector of things from our childhood (you do not want to see how many Transformers we have!). I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteAnd it can't be just coincidence that Spidey was in his meal. Good luck!
Love it!! Hope your lucky charm does the trick!! You could name your son Peter or your daughter Parker after Spiderman :)

ReplyDeleteLoved your post, Rebecca! And the doll is great - I love the way he's looking up, really focused on where he'll shoot his web!
