Just a few days left

I can not believe that it has been over 2 weeks since I handed in my resignation at work. Wow, time really does fly when you are having fun. After today, I have 8 days to work left and they can not get here fast enough! I now officially have a short-timers attitude. I can honestly say that I am glad that this part of my life is over and I am starting a new adventure.

The new house

I am so excited about the house! In just 14 days, I will be in my new home! I can’t believe that its so close. We went by the house on Friday night and they had all the lights and everything connected. It was so amazing to see our house illuminated by all the lights. We went back yesterday and they had installed out appliances, our hardwood floors were in and they were working on connecting all the cable and phone jacks! And, they had even graded the area for the driveway and sideway. All that is left is to lay the carpet, put in the yard and poor the driveway and it will be done!!!! Up until now I really wasn’t all that excited, but now that it’s all coming together, I am about to bust!

TTC and my journey to fill empty arms

The last couple of months, I have tried very hard to put this out of my mind but it has been almost impossible. Brendan and I really aren’t sure what’s next, or where we should go from here. But I know this, I want to be a mother. For the last couple of months, I have been trying to convince myself that if mother hood didn’t happen, it wouldn’t be the end of the world. But I was wrong, it would. This is what my life has always been about, its what I have wanted for as long as I can remember. Here I am going to have this great big, beautiful house, and a lot of empty rooms. Just doesn’t seem like much of a home with out the pitter-patter of little feet and laughter echoing in the halls. Now, I am more convinced than ever that I need to be a mom and I will some how find a way

My cycles and my messed up body

Back in February, I had a lap to check for endo and any other little things that don’t belong. Ever since, my body has been screwed up. I have yet to have a normal cycle and I have terrible, terrible cramps now. All of which, I didn’t have before the surgery. My cycles are now anywhere from 20-23 days apart and I start spotting about day 20 and then spot for 2-3 days then af shows for about 2, goes away for a day or 2 and then comes back. Now, I am convinced there is something wrong, so I have an appt in early November to discuss with my ob/gyn about sending me to another RE and I want to get to the bottom of this. I am pretty convinced that I have major hormonal problems. Any ladies have any suggestions?? I know one of my problems is that I am not making ewcm but I have tried all the over the counter remedies to this and nothing works.

Congrats to all you ladies that saw that double line- spread that baby dust around!

Hugs,
j
