I'm a survivor

February 9, 2007

CD#18

Hello, Hello everyone. Life is going well and I have offically survived 100mg of Clomid without side affects. Yup. That's right I got them after I was done taking the pills. Just one though. Hot Flashes and they only came in the middle of the night when I was trying to sleep. They only lasted a couple of days and I am fine now. Besides that, I did a awesome job of remembering to take them and at the same time. I have always been a little forgetful with remembering to take pills.

Right now, I am just waiting to ovulate. I am thinking it should be maybe Monday, which means dh and I might be conceiving a valentine's baby. Right now, I will take anything as long as it ends with a happy and healthy baby.

Now, I am probably not the only one that does this, but I go to a different baby site input my period date and cycle length and up pops the fertile days, and ...well, the estimated due date. So, I want to share this with you. If we concieve this cycle, I would be a beginning of November mommy then. Which is kind of cool because my niece (bro's daughter) will be 2 on October 28 and my little sis will be 23 on Nov 1st. We also have a very good friend whose bday is November 2nd. If this month is not the month, then I would be a mid December mommy, my bday is Dec 28th and I would be ok with that. I would be on maternity leave for xmas. This is the funny thing. If this cycle and next cycle don't work the next one is what I though was funny. It estimates that my due date would be January 15, 2008. This is the funny thing. My very good friend, Erin, is getting married on January 12, 2008 and... I am the maid of honor. Enough said right. Picture me walking down the alsie 9 months pregnant and my water breaking. When she asked me to be the maid of honor, I told her that I cannot stop trying because she is getting married and she understood because she is one of the few people who know all about what is going on and what we have been doing. But I know she is doing the counting in her head too, so we'll have to see what happens.

Other than that, Jake and I have been working on the wood door and window trim in our kitchen, we decided that we were going to buy and stain new stuff. Mainly because my BILs didn't take much care with the old original wood work they were taking off. UGH! So, we are missing pieces and decided to match up with what we have in the living room, and one day the whole house. This will be a long time coming because I spent $130 at Menards for the kitchen only. Yikes! BTW they just opened a Menards in our town last week. It's a smaller town so it was a big deal. I have already been recongized by people who work there, I am going that much. Oops. I just wanted to be sure of what I wanted, although I did end up changing my mind when I was there for 2 hours on Sunday.

Saturday is our company kickoff party (aka holiday party) they throw a huge shindig every other year. All the employees are offered rooms for $25. Uh duh, had to think about that for like a second. So, since I will be fertile from Sat to Wednesday. We will be bding in the hotel this weekend and home this coming week. Should be fun. Dinner with my fam on Sunday night with my absolutely adorable niece. Hopefully, my dh will get me something little like flowers for valentine's day. I know that it is such a hallmark holiday, but I have an associate degree in horticulture and LOVE flowers. So, that's all I want. Oh, and delivered to work, so I can show them off. That would be the best. I don't even need Roses, I love tulips, they are my fav and cheap too.

This is my niece, Payton, she is just the cutest. This was taken in the middle of July, on the 16th to be exact, her uncle Jake's bday and her baptism. She is now 15 months old. In the second pic taken the same time, it's my little sister Suzy holding her. Suzy is my best friend for sure. She is great.

Ok, I think that I have blabbered on enough. Come talk to me on my board.

Baby Dust to everyone,

Shannon
