"He said: Presenting the Top 10 ways to distract yourself during (another) two week wait!

She said: Number 10 – Start organizing that drawer that you otherwise would never touch. Or at least think about organizing it while watching a variety of TV shows that you would otherwise never watch. 

He said: Number 9 – Send your partner to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard claiming that it could be a “pre-pregnancy craving.”

She said: What? It COULD be...we are still in the two week wait...

He said: Carrying on.  Number 8 – Get the spring cleaning itch and go on a cleaning binge – using all- natural cleaners only.  Convince partner that it is okay that you rest often since you shouldn’t push yourself too hard – but it’s totally okay for him to keep going. 

She said: Number 7 – Consult Dr. Google at least 10 times daily to compare possible pregnancy symptoms.

He said: Number 6 – After consulting Dr. Google, consult ConceiveOnline.com, Twitter, and a variety of ttc and pregnancy forums as per above.

She said: Number 5 - Lament the lack of caffeine, alcohol, sushi, and all things that could be potentially dangerous to the baby that you’re potentially growing.  Consider making ice cream its own food group. Hey, it has calcium!

He said:  Number 4 – Start collecting pee sticks like they are a rare commodity.  Improve your line examining techniques with abilities that would rival the best CSI.

She said: Number 3 – Consult Dr. Google AGAIN.  For more symptoms, or disappearing symptoms, or symptoms that you heard you might get.

He said: Number 2 – Cross off the days on the calendar until Beta like you're counting down days till a big trip.

She said: And the Number 1 way to distract yourself during a(nother) two week wait is...

He said:  You tell us!  Leave your best distraction below! ......" Their readers left suggestions on the Number 1 distraction.
