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 :)
