Stash

It is official, I have started my cloth diaper stash. I got a great deal on 6 newborn diapers and 3 one size. Then there is this beauty. I actually paid full price for this one, just because this style is brand new and the print is ridiculously popular. So, with the 2 I have bought, the 1 I have won, and the 9 I got on the cheep, I now have 12! No this isn't my way of announcing anything. Just hopeful prepairing =) I resolve not to buy anymore for at least 3 months, unless something new and amazing comes out that I NEED to check out.

Trying something new

I just got an iPad and I'm testing out how this blogging thing works from it. So, if this is bad, sorry.

Here's what I've been working on for the past few weeks. It's a rag quilt for a girl at work who is expecting her first any day now.

Here I am!

I didn't fall off the face of the earth. I was taking a break from the whole I must have a life form in my uterus right now. I'm ready to get back to being a little crazy (ha ha like I'm not already there).

Let's see what has happened. J got a new old job. He went back to a company he worked for before only this time he is not a supervisor, at least for now. I'm smack in the middle of the slow season at my job, so that means less than 40 hours a week for this girl. Oh yeah, I had a stress fracture in my foot around Christmas. It's from being too fat, so I am working on loosing weight. Not going the greatest, but I've been the same weight for a long time. Maybe my body dislikes change as much as my mind does.

On the TTC front, my cycles went crazy for a while. They skipped around from 33 days to 45 days to 25 days. The past two months they have been my normal 29 day cycles and that makes me happy. So, it is back to taking my temperature and all that good stuff for a while.

I guess that's all I have to say for now!

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving!

I definitely have TONS of things I am blessed with year round. Here's the short list of things I am thankful for this year

Our Vet

• The Little Spotted Dog was one sick puppy a couple of weeks ago. My dog that is in constant motion was soooo lethargic. Then he started vomiting, then he started passing blood from his rear instead of the stuff that should come out of there. Two trips to our wonderful vet in 12 hours, one phone call, and one sleepless night and LSD is all better. Too bad his sister is now kinda sickly. 

My co-workers

• I'm not gonna lie, sometimes they can drive me nuts. But, most of the time, I work with a great group of people who are kind, and helpful, and a lot of fun to be around.

My family

• Okay, my family drives me nuts 99% of the time, the best thing about them is, I drive them nuts 99% of the time, and they still love me!!! Of course my little puppies are pretty awesome too!

On the baby front, I have been taking a break from doing the temping this this month. I will continue to do the ovulation predictor kits. I just feel like we haven't be trying long enough to be that intense about it. When we first started trying, I had visions of telling everyone at Christmas. That's not going to happen, so my next vision is having my baby in September, so that means this would have to be our month for that. We'll see!!

Nearing the end of cycle 3!

I'm feeling a little more.....confident?..... less hopeless?...... Anyway, I'm feeling better about this whole baby thing. I was a little sad because, when we started trying for our little C, my doctor told me she guessed it would take us about 3 months to get pregnant. As that 3 month mark is coming around, I am getting a little anxious. With me being overweight and J's past history with "supplements" in high school, I worry about us not having an easy time.

As far as how this month is going, my "friend" is due anytime from 3 days ago to about 4 days from now depending on which way I count it. My symptoms are little to none. I'm a little more tired than usual, and I have had a little cramping off and on. Nothing to get excited about at ALL. Hopefully I have good news to report next week!

*RANT*

The follow is a lot of self pity and whining. Consider yourself warned















Are you sure you want to read this?






















So, I know we have only been going at this (haha pun) for about 3 months, but I'm kinda getting frustrated. I feel like our timing is never right. I guess it doesn't help that we work opposite shifts. We don't hardly see each other through the week, let alone make babies. I keep telling myself it can take up to a year even if we don't have problems. Then I think, well if we do have problems, then we've wasted a year. We are 3 months in, a quarter of a year.

Okay enough moaning I'll be good now.

Right now, we are in that wonderful period of time known as the 2 week wait. It is the time between ovulation and either baby or the monthly "visit". So, I guess updates will come when I have something to update.

A quick update on pretty much nothing.

Maybe once I have something good to update, I'll do it more often. Right now, life is kind of boring which I guess is better than being a drama filled crazy mess. No news to report on the baby front, just lots of wishing a hoping. Right now I am 10 days past ovulation (that's a tidbit that you didn't want to know). So, that means I'm about 10 days from knowing if this month is our month. I really doubt it, since last week I think I had a small bug of some sort. My digestive system hated me for a while there.

I have been researching things that I want to do as a momma. One of them is cloth diapering. I'm not one to keep up with laundry, so I'm hoping that this is going to be realistic for me. But, check it out, aren't they cute???

So, I guess in a month I'll update again and see if anything changes!!
