August 2, 2000

Hi ladies.

Hope all of you are doing well this week. Hope there's lots of O'ing and +++ HPTs going on. Wish it was me. But I know my time will come again. Doing a little better since the miscarriage. I wanted to share with you all something that I did to remember our baby by. My mom and niece had bought us a few things for the baby not long after I told them all the news. Well, one of the gifts from my niece was a little, yellow stuffed lamb. Well, on the tag around his neck I wrote: For Our Angel Baby in Heaven Now. Just to remember him/her by. I showed it to Cory and he just cried. Then we were both a bawling mess.

Well, I had my HCG blood check done twice now. I felt like I wanted to do it for myself, for my own peace of mind. So on Friday, July 28 it was 148, then yesterday I had it done and it was 60. So that is very good; it dropped quite a bit. Next Tuesday I go and have it checked again. I was thrilled to hear that it had dropped that much.

We decided to at least wait until my levels are back to normal before we start TTC'ing again, or until my next AF, whichever comes first. So, right now we are trying but not, if you know what I mean.

We went out and bought a new car this past weekend. I had been looking at new Malibus this past February and decided against it at that time. Well, we went and looked this past weekend and decided to buy a 2000 Chevy Impala. DH liked the Impalas better and now I am glad that's what we got. Very roomy and drives nice! It is really nice. I'm not quite sure why we did it right now but, oh well. Such is life! So now we have a bigger car payment and all our finances are screwed up this month. But anyway, I love the car, and it is big enough for children. Before, I had a Mitsubishi Eclipse so we knew that we would have to get a bigger car. So we did it. Good or not, it's a done deal!!!!

Well, I think that's all for now. Have a great week and hope there's lots of ++++'s out there!!!!
