Hello all!

Well, sorry about the length of time again. Our site is going through some wonderful changes and I wasn't sure if I could post or not. So, we are going to try this and see what happens.

First a HUGE shout out to COURTNEY!! who got her bfp. Your beta number is going to be huge this week, I just know it! (because I think there is more than one bean getting comfy in there                                )  Love ya girl!

I had a wonderful weekend. Went camping with my family for father's day. We all had fun, went swimming, biking and played with the dogs and my adorable niece. This was our dog's first camping trip. He did awesome except I don't think he liked sleeping on the ground. Truth be told, I don't either, but dh says we don't need an air mattress. My sister got all pissed off because she didn't get to pick where her tent was going because they were the last ones there and we all weren't waiting to put ours up. Who cares if you were the one to reserve the sites or not. I think she has been crabby since the day she was born. Whatever though. I am not burnt on my shoulders and have mosquito bites like crazy! I itch so bad!  

Other than that, I think I may have Oed this weekend. I had some nice cm going on on Friday and Saturday, so hopefully. But I don't know anything for sure because I left the OPKs at home and haven't been temping like I was going to so I don't know that that will help any. I am planning on this.... No af in 2 weeks, test, if bfp rejoice, if bfn take provera to jump start me and hope I am just really messed up this month from coming off the clomid. I will also take Vitex, which I have been researching and it is shown to be a natural clomid. Natural is probably the way to go I am thinking because it seems like the hormonal drugs really messes with my body. Then go with the flow for a couple of months and see what happens.

I was talking with my dad this weekend. Let me give you some background first before I get all of us confused. When I was really little, my dad worked for Northwest, (based out of Milwaukee then and still today) back then just like now, the Union striked and my dad was out of a job with 3 little kids at home. Oops. He then got into landscaping because a buddy of his knew someone who needed help. Well, one thing leads to another and he started an own landscaping company with his buddy. Ran it for about 25 years, thus my love for outdoors and plants, when he was involved in a drunk driving accident, him being the drunk. He has now been sober for 7 years. Yah! and went back to school last year to be a drug and alcohol counselor. He loves it and is awesome at it.

Anyways back to my point. We were talking over lunch on Saturday and my bro got into a fight with my SIL and my dad told him to just go with the flow. He went into this big metaphor about floating down a stream and how for so long he was swimming up stream and not getting far, then some one told him to go with it and life got easier, but he still kept falling under and bumping into rocks, so someone threw him a lifejacket and told him to go feet first, then he can see it coming and avoid the rocks. He says that sometimes he still takes his lifejacket off and sinks and sputters, but then he remembers to just go with it and it's so much better. Thanks Dad. You helped me and didn't even know it.

Alright, I think my monster post has gone on enough. I hope everyone has an awesome week.

Baby Dust to everyone!
