We are putting our house up for sale!

Crazy I know! We've been in our house like 14 months but we want bigger & more land...I'm putting sign in our yard tomorrow evening! Wish us luck!

Decisions decisions

Ok I've made a decision...we are taking a break from trying. I'm gonna focus on loosing some weight. I know I need to its just really hard bc I love to eat:)!!! I've kinda set a little goal that everyday me & A are gonna go on a scavenger hunt around the neighborhood( me walking and Alyssa riding her bike). I'll also just make better choices with food. This is something that needs to be done! I probably won't ever be "thin" but I could get healthier & loose this baby weight already (A will be 4!!!! Next month) anyways that's all I've got right now. Ohh my Dh is about to go work in Kansas for like 3 weeks :) but good money :)

Vegas!!

So we just got back from our first Vegas trip which was booked two days before we left! Fun!!! We really enjoyed ourselves! We def didn't cover everything. We got there Friday and checked in and ate at the prime rib loft...yummy! Then headed out to our first show- crisscross angel "Believe". It was pretty good. Saturday we walked all over Vegas. There is just so much to see! Tons of shopping and food and our favorite... PEOPLE WATCHING!We ate at the casino buffet that afternoon... Umm I had anything from a lil habatchi to Italian to ribs..lol we wasted so much food but wanted a taste of everything! We then headed to our 2nd show..blue man group. We really enjoyed that one! Sunday we were busy!! Trying to soak up the last day there. We did the csi experience which was pretty cool! We ate at Grotto for dinner. Where we sat we had a clear view of the shark tank/swimming pool...which was too cool. We visited freemont street after dinner which was an experience! I could go back! The whole point for this getaway was to be able to enjoy one another and that we did. We held hands as we strolled through Las Vegas. It was nice. Now to planning a trip to enjoy with our sweet girl!

I'm craving a nice romantic getaway with my man!

Not too much o post on. My clomid didnt mistreat me A's bad as I thought! My only complaint was I would get super over heated!! But no headaches and can't remember any mood swings:). This is the week I'll be ovulating so prayers my way please!!!!! My goal in the near future is to get the extra bedroom turned into a nursery! So wheni do get pregnant I can really enjoy it. And plus it will be fun for A to pretend in there. She can put her baby in the bed and such. Ok so this is the time of year that my business BOOMS! It's easy for me to do at least 20 brazilians a week or more. Some days Ive done like 12-15 in one day...everyone is going on vacation....everyone! So I'm getting the fever:). I believe we are going to cancun to an adult only all inclusive place. This will take the place of our 5 year anniversary in December. I'm really excited!!

Clomid

Ok so here goes my 4th round of clomid but switching it to 100 mg instead of 50mg...and some other type of medicine...yikes! Hope I don't get too crazy,hot,headachy....my dh is fully aware of the possible side effects so we are good..I am debating if I want to do another iui right now. It just seems like so much money...just at the womans clinic in 3 days I spent $485. The chances don't increases that much with an iui so I'm just not sure. I'm sure when the time comes I'll do it. Bc money really isn't what's holding me back (not that we are rolling in the dough) but realistically a couple hundred here & there is a lot less than adoption. Which is what we will be seriously facing come fall. But for some reason I'm pretty confident in this next cycle.... My dh has been out of town for a week now...I miss him like crazy. He's heading home today so I will see him sometime in the morning. I filled my days up quickly...playdates, pokeno, recital,ball....loved every minute. Last night I got to watch my friends 2 sweet girls while they got one last date night before welcoming their baby boy. Oh how their world is about to change with a new baby. The baby's mom is a super mom...we joke about where she hides her cape haha...so it probably won't face her :). So A had her fist dance recital and did amazing....everyone told me she did great. She enjoyed herself you could tell. She said last night that she wanted to do it again...we will see she is so quick to change her mind. I would love her to though. I have been looking up vacations lately...we want to go on a romantic getaway. But just a 4 day one( we are so busy with work). I'm thinking maybe Mexico??

My monthly not so best friend

Well so I've been keeping busy the past two weeks playing the waiting game... Which really wasn't that bad. I've been reading blogs... Like 5 years of one persons life... And so this is THE week and I started...today at chickfila...on a play date. Blah! But you know what... I really just have to look at what I do have. I have a precious baby girl and the best husband. My Dh is pretty bumbed too... But I've been hearing a lot from mainly one person saying I'm not praying with faith... So I'm just gonna start praying for not necessarily to get pregnant, but for God to lead me in the direction I should be in. Whether it be to just keep trying or adoption. Maybe he has a baby being created for us??? Or just maybe he thinks that our sweet girl is all we need. I'm getting tired of talking about it like I'm that girl that always has something... U know those types huh? Well the other night at heart to home one of my heart moms made a little announcement about how they had prayed over one of my heart sisters a few months back & there she sat 12 weeks pregnant.(I was thrilled when she told me!!!) She also went on to mention things about how hard it can be to get pregnant & truly how it's simply a miracle! Well I literally was about to loose it. Then we prayed & she mentioned my name... Omg my throat closed up and nose started pouring... I was on the verge of crying out loud. Like the boo hooing you would do in your room gasping for air. Well after prayer I went straight to bathroom and wanted so bad to sit down and let it out. But I couldn't. I didn't want to cause I big fuss!!! I just splashed water on my face and walked out. I'm sure u could tell I had cried but glad no one asked bc I was trying to keep that smile on my face. Bc I knew my period was about to start and it really really sucked! Well here goes to doing round 4 of clomid @ 100 mg... Crazy lady in the house!!

IUI #1

Yesterday was a hectic day. I got my very first positive on my ovulation teat. Thanks to my new dr that told me to start testing my urine my first urine after around midnight. See sometimes I can pee a few times be4 I would ever take my test and she was thinking that was maybe what was wrong. Well I called her office first thing. I never heard back so I called then they called me. She said we could do it that evening or this morning. Well I was booked at work so evening time was best for we. My dh was very confusing...I can't wait til I never have to get a sperm sample from him again. It's become business and that stinks! Well they told me to go to one clinic and they can't even clean the sperm or whatever they do there. So they sent me to another one and had me put the sample in-between my boobs...so they wouldn't die. Got to the other clinic and the lady said they looked good. I was kinda nervous at that point just from running around. Well the front desk people were saying something about has that girl not came yet. Then I heard a yes she's right there...the windows open...meaning shut up she can hear you. Well when they called me back I was on the verge of crying. I did start crying and they were really nice to me. I told them what had happened and they said they'll take care of it so it doesn't happen again. Well when my dr got there she was very Sorry for the mess up.. She informed me she's getting a new nurse Monday and hopefully her staff will be better. I like that she realizes the nurses are important. They can make you feel comfortable and good, or like they are not interested and in a hurry. I need to be treated like I'm their only concern. I know I'm silly. Well the actual insemination was a little painful. And after I kinda had a light cramp feeling until late last night. She told me to try and have intercourse if possible last night and this morning... Needless to say I was so sick that that didn't happen. I ended up not working today...I hope I get better I'm so busy at work. Im probably double booked but oh well...I'm staying in bed all day. My dh became mr mom last night. I was out od it. He fed, bathed, tucked A in bed. Then he woke up got her ready and brought her to school. This 2 week wait is gonna be fun but also I'm so anxious to find out. A's even praying for a baby sister AND baby brother lol....6 months ago she hated the idea of it. When it happens it's gonna be just perfect :)

Omg!!! I just got a smiley face at 4 am

Ok so we discussed how often I pee in the early morning until I finally wake up and test my urin. She told me to try & start testing after midnight. Yea so if I wake up at 1 am... Go pee on the stick. Do You know how long the results take when your halfway asleep??? Like 10 minutes that a long seems like 30 minutes! Well guess who woke up at 4:15 am and got a BIG smiley face... This girl did! You would think I just found out I was preggo!!! I took pics of it and everything. I'm such a nut. I do crack myself up often. Im not sure I can even go to sleep now! I'm calling the office as soon as the open to see when we can come in. I'm just so happy that I am ovulating on my own. I thought I was but wasn't sure since I have never got a positive on my stick. Well of course I'm about to google if it's ok to be sick and do iui.. Yes I woke up at 4 with a very sore throat & I'm snotty. So hope that doesn't affect anything. I'll keep y'all posted. Prayers my way!!!! Thanks

Doctor appointment

Ok so after leaving the doctors office this time I felt like I should of been feeling!! I love Dr. Salas...this is what I've wanted out of a doctor. I really can't explain it but it was just so nice. She we are just gonna start on an aggressive plan. If I ovulate this week we will do an iui (artificial insemination). If I start my period I will start clomid again but she doubled my dosage to 100 mg. Wow kinda nervous about those side effects. It will be ok though. Then I'll follow that with an iui. Then if that doesn't work I'll then do 150 mg of clomid... Yikes! Then after that she said we will do more blood work then visit the injectable world..double yikes!! I am such a baby when it comes to needles :). But I sure do want a little baby more... Have I mentioned how much I love my new doctor!!!

New doctor

Ok guys the day has finally arrived!! After having a nightmare this weekend about missing my appointment...what?!? Crazy right. As I began to panic I realized... It was only Saturday & I needed to quit being crazy! Well my plans for this visit is to get pregnant like yesterday:). For real though.. I should be ovulating any day & would love to do the iui this month. I'm probably jumping the gun but I demand to be put on the aggressive plan. There's no more it will happen when it's suppost to happen. That was easy to take year 1 but as the 2 year mark of ttc is approaching I can't help but be so over this! Gotta go just got called back :)

"recovery" week 4 p90x

Recovery my butt!!! I hate hate hate yoga or at least p90x yoga. My dh has been working on our sidewalk..it's looking pretty fab! He is very talented. Lucky!! I know I am:) Well I don't have much to report on. I go to the same church as my new dr that I will see on Monday. Well I actually went up to her Sunday and introduced myself to her. And yes I'm gonna love her! Work has been very busy this week..me & my sister have been to two different schools this week waxing teachers for appreciation week. They deserve it!! Well everyones bathed and the voice is on... Gotta spend some time with my man

Easter

This past weekend has been so very busy. A had a blast at her Easter party.


We went to see the easter bunny and while we were there we took glamour shots...she was deathly afraid of the easter bunny, but did good for the pictures after we saw him. Heres some of my favs

I'm back!

Well we finished week 2 of p90x... With my schedule getting busier all our free time we are using working out. A started ball this past Friday night. I was one proud mamma. Yesterday we went to lowes...we got a ton of pavers for our walk way and to outline our flowerbed. I think we got like 230... Oh my I felt the burn while loading and unloading. After that we heading over to a surprise party. Can we say fun! There was a jumper for kids, fishing, and chatting with the girls. I got to love on some of the babies too. I almost forgot A has been sleeping in her bed without her tv! She got it taken away a week ago...she has def surprised me. Well it's been pretty nice to be on a baby break. Not that we aren't doing the things to create one but im not counting and such. My doctors appt is on the 30th. I'm pumped...I'm just focused on trying to eat better and working out. And no we aren't killing ourself...we still eat foods we crave but we mainly keep it on the weekend. We don't go get ice-cream or anything but we do eat more than ckn & fish. Our goal is to eat at home making healthier things during the week. Which saves tons of mula! My dh worked on our backyard all last wknd. We are getting ready to start the deck..wahoo!!I'm pumped. Every morning before school me and A go check to see what flowers have bloomed. We are just loving it! We got 2 rocking chairs Friday and it's so nice rocking on the front porch...

My body hurts

We have concured day 2 of p90x.... Yay!!! I'm super excited about my decision to switch doctors. Yesterday at MOPS I overheard some girls talking about my new dr and I was oh so excited!!!I'm too worn out to write lol...sad huh! Oh well I'll keep ya posted

Day 1

Ok so we completed day 1 of p90x. If you would have been a little fly on the wall you would have pee'd your pants:) it was tough, but we did all of it. I think it was like an hour and a half...now we are relaxing ahh...I hope we aren't too sore tomorrow. I made a chicken and broccoli stir fry and had a little side salad for dinner. Getting use to not eating a snack after dinner is going to be hard... I love to eat!!! This 1 1/2 hours me and my dh will be spending together are gonna be priceless.. Really...we already came up with a high five thingy after we complete the workout lol!!

Saturdays

It's been a pretty good weekend. I love being off on Saturday's. I would never work a Saturday again if it wasn't for my clients. Well my dh had to work so me and A went to cracker barrel for breakfast. Yum! Then we went to walmart, and then went to go see my dh and talk to him while he worked. We then came home to nap and get my food ready for the pinterest party. The party was fun. I had high hopes of doing a certain craft but I bought the wrong thing. Oh well I enjoyed myself. My medicine is giving me hot flashes! My headaches aren't as bad as the other times. Thank goodness. I purchased the most expensive ovulation kit and I started testing today. Of course I messed up and had to use another one. All I can think about is Monday!!! We start p90x... I pray we can stick with it. It's gonna be hard but A's long as we both stay committed we will do it. My dh told me I need to quit planning stuff...lol the past 2 months have been so busy! We are hardly ever home, and we love being at home. We are going to a crawfish boil tomorrow evening. I'm so excited! I'm hoping that I can focus on getting healthier and not so much on getting pregnant! By the way....I get sick of hearing.....your just trying too hard....or just relax....Really?? I only wish I didn't have to test to see when I'm ovulating or I so wish I could take it or leave it when it comes to more kids....I want atleast 3 babies! No one truly can understand until it's happened to them. I can't even imagine those friends of mine that long for just ONE baby. My heart hurts for them. I pray God has a reason for all of this

P90x

Omg...I'm getting nervous! Me and my dh start p90x on Monday. We are up late watching an infomercial on it. Im just so nervous bc its such a commentment. 7 days a week! We got the DVD set from my bro-in-law. We both have gained a ton since we met. And we are ready to get healthy. I'm losing weight for me and my family. My dr said my weight doesn't have Anything to do with me not getting pregnant but maybe this will help. Hold me accountable please. I really need this. I really need to loose 70 lbs or so. We can do it. Just have to PRAY!!

Family vacation

We had a wonderful little vacation. A is really getting to be a big girl. Well I started on my clomid Monday night and the headaches are coming...yuck. Well I will not be doing the insemination this month..or I don't think I am. My appt with the new dr isn't until April 30th. I'm scared that if I go in for my iui with my current dr he will know I'm switching.... I'm probably just crazy:). Well the one good thing that's come of this long wait of getting pregnant is that A is all about being a big sister now. Last week she told a friend of mine who's a teacher at her school that I was having a baby this week... And she keeps asking me about the baby. I'm loving it bc when I really do get pregnant she's really gonna understand and be excited!! Well my dh is coaching A's wee ball team friday. How exciting! Ohh and Saturday is the day I've been waiting for!!! The PINTEREST party!! With all my sweet friends. I'm so ready!

I've been slacking!

Ok so I think I'm finally about to start this long awaited period. Ugh... Why does my body have to do this? Well I actually switched doctors today. If I do get a positive on my ovulation kit then I'll do my iui with my current doctor. I won't see new dr until April 30th. I'm very nervous. Not sure why not like my dr will notice I'm gone?!? Well my little family is going on a weekend getaway. The thought of adopting is getting more real. I'm setting a goal for July. If I'm not pregnant by July then we will look into adoption. Prayers my way :)

The weekend

Oh what a fabulous weekend. My sh went on a camping/fishing trip with the guys in our life group. While the guys were out the girls & 15 kids got together for pizza & fun. Saturday A had her first wee ball practice. She did great. She was maybe the best on the team! Really...she minded the whole time and loved playing. Ahh she makes me one proud mama. This evening we had a play date at the park. It was just beautiful. So my AF is a week and a half late. I think it's coming though. I'm ready to start my meds and then do the iui. I'm very nervous on the other hand. This is another huge step in our journey. I hope I get a clear positive with my ovulation kit this go round. I'm gonna buy a kit that clearly states if I am or not. I'm gonna be welcoming two sweet boys into this wonderful world this week. We are taking a little family vaycay this coming weekend.
