Horrible night!!!!

So although I had a lot of O pains going on, the OPK I took yesterday was definetely Negative. I'll take another one today in a couple of hours. What I find very strange is that I had the majority of the pains on my left side and it's actually my right ovary that's ovulating this month!

So last night, as scheduled, it was time to BD. We came home pretty late, had some fun BDing and as I was laying for my 40 mins wait after BD, it was abrubtly interrupted by the horrible storm outside.

I have to mention that a couple of months ago we put in these canopies (metal structure and soft PVC material, the ones that are fixed and don't retract) over our 2 balconies. The wind was insane last night and it's still is pretty bad even now. It was also raining like crazy.

So, I think I was lying on the bed for like 3, maybe 5 minutes, when there was a big sound coming from the front balcony. My hubby ran, butt-naked to the balcony and caught the canopy with one hand as it was falling down. The wind had pulled it straight out of the wall, with the dowels and everything. I put a robe on and my boots and ran outside to move the car, which was parked on the driveway, right below the front balcony. I moved the car onto the street and ran back up to help hubby. It was crazy windy and we were trying to move the huge canopy at an angle so it could fit through the balcony door into the room. I took us about 20 to 30 mins before we got it inside. We were soaked, cold and mostly panicked.

We went for the bed and not 5 minuted passed after I said "I hope to God the other one doesn't fall", and there was another sound, this time coming from our bedroom balcony. I ran towards the door and as I opened it the canopy was ripped from the wall by the raging wind, knocking down the lantern on the wall too. I was able to catch the canopy by the metal structure and hold it in place, but this one wasn't going to be as easy to get it. I knew because I was there when they barely fit it through the door before installing it. So there we were, back in the rain and wind trying to maneuver that huge thing and every time we tried to angle it the wind was pulling it from our hands. To make a long story short it took us a couple of hours to get it inside the room, in which time we were screaming at eachother (the nerves, cold and rain were getting the best of us), getting really frustrated and couldn't figure out how to make it happen. By a miracle on a last try I was able to pull it in, even though scratching the door and wooden floor in the process. Then we spent another half hour wiping the wooden floor so that it doesn't get ruined.

When we were back in bed it was already about 4:30 am. We hugged and tried to go to bed, but the sounds outside made that impossible. We finally fell asleep at about 6am. And what I forgot to mention is that out power was off since about 11pm, so all this craziness took place in absolute darkness...

I hope I never have to go through anything like that again. And I trully pray that it didn't ruin our chances for conceiving this month completely.

  2. Wow! I love storms, but not when they are destructive like this. We went through a huge cyclone last season and it was the scariest thing ever been through. It was a Cat 5, and the eye actually passed about an hour north of us, so we caught the super powerful tail winds. Lost power & water but thankfully our apartment was pretty safe. Crazy how powerful the weather can be sometimes. Oh, and I think your chances of conceiving this month are as good as any other ;)

  3. I used to live in Florida and used to love Hurricane time... I know it's weird, but my friends and I used to have the best 3-6 days parties, always getting together at one of the houses and just hung around, playing games, drinking...having tons of fun. Yeah they we scary at times, but more inconvenient than anything in regards to losing power, water, not having enough gas and stuff like that.

    But honestly... I never thought of encountering such a bad storm in Romania, where supposedly it's a moderate climate.
