Trip and yay's!

Ok, I think I will start with my trip this past weekend. We went to see Kat and Reya with my mom and dad this past weekend (Saturday) It was a good trip, and Reya is just way too cute! We had a great time with her. James has really taken to her, and just watching him play with her, I know he will be a great daddy.

On a second note, I found out today I only have 4 more classes to graduate then I'm off to University of Memphis to get my Ph.D! I'm not sure if I want to get my M.S first, they have two programs. I may just go get my M.S to get into my job field then do my Ph.D at night afterwards. We are really excited about moving to tennessee next year! Hopefully we get pregnant this month or next so we can stay here with my Fertility specialist when the baby is born. He is great, and has really been pro-active in helping us with our infertility issues when no one else would listen to me when I said there was something wrong with my "stuff"! :-) So he is very optomistic about getting us pregnant before Christmas.

Ok, a rant and peeve time:
I really really really (I can't really stress this enough) hate when people SAY they are Christians then are snobby, stuck up, and completely RUDE to people!!! They think they are better than everyone else, and they are so immature....they don't even know that the people that WILL talk to them, can't really tolerate them! ugh! So in a nutshell: If you SAY you are a Christian and even tell people how you think THEY should be a Christian then start acting it yourself. Don't play little petty games, running and hiding so you don't have to speak, or completely ignoring someone just because you think you are better than them....GROW UP!!!

ok. Done. lovelove

Thank you God!

Ok, so I went to get my ultrasound today to make sure I did not have any Cysts from the Clomid. And thank GOD, I Didn't!! None, nada, zilch. Which also brings me to other surprising findings. I didn't ovulate at ALL! Which means those ovulation tests are BAD and my body plays tricks on me. (I used the answer dip sticks from walmart. I got two surges on those dang things, but I didn't ovulate!) Therefore, however, I got my Clomid DOUBLED! yay!! So instead of 50mg I'm now on 100mg starting today. I have another ultrasound on Halloween, to see if I am responding, and if I have enough follicles mature, I may get a HCG shot to make sure I ovulate! Thanksgiving blessing, here I come!
My RE had no idea why I got AF so soon, he was shocked because I have +/- 60 day cycles. He said that at least I got it, and I can start earlier on this next round. I've heard of alot of successes with 100mg, so I hope it works for me! I also asked about baby asprin and he said that it doesn't hurt to take it, but it is usually taken by women that have had multiple miscarriages, he said its great for your heart if nothing else. I also asked about progesterone suppliments and he said he has had no difference between women taking them and not taking them, so he doesn't usually prescribe it. He said we'll wait to see what my levels are when I'm pregnant.
On top of that, I don't have to worry about paying for the ultrasounds, because they list them as preventative as they are finding out why I don't have periods, so major kudos to them for helping all the ladies who have fertility issues in that office. Saves me big bucks. Anyway, I'm on CD3 today and I will be taking my pills at 3:30pm just like last cycle! Pray I get some MAJOR follies in there and ovulate!! Much love and baby dust!

Oh for the joy of needles....

So today is my doctor visit. I'm over my fear of needles now, probably because I have been poked so many times. I am getting an ultrasound today and finding out if I can start my new round of clomid. PRAY I have no cysts and can start it! That is my one fear!! I just know I'd go crazy if I can't try this cycle and have to wait until december. Not fun! I just wish I could wiggle my nose and be pregnant, then I wouldn't have to go through all this. Sometimes, life seems so unfair. I never imagined I'd be one of the ladies with fertility issues. ugh. Why can't life ever be easy? All I know is when my child asks me if he/she was a mistake or planned, I can honestly say planned because I wanted him/her so very much! Love will be abundant in this house.

So we start again...Hoping for a Thanksgiving Blessing.

As many of you know, I was taking Clomid 50mg this month in hopes to have a baby. Well, this morning, a whole week early, my cycle started. The Clomid worked to make me ovulate, but I didn't get pregnant. So, I go in on Thursday for an ultrasound to see if I have any cysts that need to go away before I start another round. If no cysts are present, I start another round of Clomid and will be monitored to ensure I have ripe follicles and I will get a trigger shot to make me ovulate which ensures perfect...um.....fertilization timing. lol. In the meantime, I still plan for this baby we will have one way or the other. I WILL be pregnant before the end of 2008. I have complete faith in God and my Fertility doctor to get me there.

But of course, if we have a Karaline Mae or a Jonathan David, the Nursery theme is as follows:

Jonathan David's Nursery:

Karaline Mae's Nursery:
Love it. I'm tempted to have a lady my mom knows to make the bedding set with KMR monogrammed in every piece.

I was going to do the jungle theme for a girl and a boy, but then I saw the pink set and loved it. So much for that idea! Of course, I'm having their names on wood letters hanging from a ribbon above their cribs. These babies are definately going to be loved and very much wanted when we do get them.
Anyway. Thats all I have for now. Much love.

Wow, Been a while. Update

Ok, so it has been a while, so I think I need to update a little bit. James and I found out on August 13th we were pregnant with our first. On August 22nd, we lost the baby. We are now on Clomid (a fertility drug) and hoping it works. We found out I hardly ever ovulate and we just happened to get lucky the first time. We will know more at the end of the month if it works or not. We really want this baby.

James and I are trying to sell the house and recently got a realestate agent to sell it for us (pray we sell it!). We plan to move to Saraland and into a 3 bedroom apartment for a year then move to Tennessee. We are only staying the extra year because we don't want to move while I am on a program with our fertility specialist. We want to be able to have our baby down here and with him.

Anyway, that was a very short version of whats been going on with us. Many blessings and love to all of you!
