Long Weekend!






















Whew, what a long weekend, we were so busy we actually went out Friday to a BAR, we have not been out in two years, it was fun but reminded us of why we dont go out anymore. Saturday we went to Festival Internationale, it was so good, for people not familiar, I live in South Louisiana and we have a festival for anything, and I do mean anything, besides Mardi Gras this is the only festival that is really popular, its bands and artists from all over the world, that completely take over our downtown area for 4 days straight, there is all sorts of music, earth people, and things to buy from other countries, so anyway it was great. Then yesterday we got together with some friends and let our kids slipnslide for like 6 hours straight, poor baby was absolutely pooped by 730.






NOw on with my cycle, its playing tricks on me this month, I usually am clockwork to O on CD17 well its CD19 and I just got a positive OPK, thank god this was our month off I was beginning to worry if I was gonna O at all.

I am back!

Okay, so I have been pretty lazy over the past week. Havent kept up with the NW board, not taking my temp, or keeping up with my blog.....I should be punished!!!So anyway last week was great, it really helps to take a break from everything goin on..I went to my dr. appointment on Friday he has ordered an HSG, that I am totally freaking out about, I am just cool with weird things being put into my TOOTIE!!!!! but I guess I will have to get over it considering that I have read that fertility chances tend to be higher after having one done, that gives me some serious hope!!!! The price really freaked me out they told me it would be 706.00 OUCH!!! that really makes you wanna run away!!!BUt luckily the fantastic women on the board told me to call around and check prices luckily I have found the local Womens hospital does it for a flat rate of 174.00, if you pay it up front, if you choose to be billed for it, its like 480, I guess its a way of insuring they get paid....So doctor told me to schedule it after I start my next cycle, so if things go well and I have nothing wrong we will try again next month..Everyone just pray that everything comes out ok and I dont have anything weird in there....I finally finished my training and certification for West at home, so I can start bringing in some extra money to help pay for all this baby stuff....I am very excited and cant wait to start, talk about that will pass some time in my next TWW...Well got to go for now

Sorry MIA

Wow! Its been almost a week since I blogged, I cant believe! So not much has been goin on..I have my doc appointment on Friday, cant wait to see what he has to say..I went bring Bray to Barnes and Noble this morning for storytime we had a great time, he also got to make a door hanger for his bedroom...Its too cute! I have been doing my online training for West so that has been cosuming my time. Ihave also been trying to avoid the computer as much as possible, THe NW board is very helpful and I love all those girls so much for their support, but sometimes it can bring me down as well, it can make me really depressed sometimes..So anyway I will go for now....

14DPO

Well, its over yet again, another month down the drain.. I cant even describe the way I feel. I am scheduling an appointment with dr.hayes for next week once AF is gone, to see what we can move onto, maybe we can try some simple fertility meds or something..I dont know. Dont feel like talking much right now.

11 DPO

Well, not much of anything to report today.. We had a nice Easter I suppose, neither side of our families came over, my mom is out of town with her boyfriend, and DPs parents changed there mind about coming, so we spent the day with our two bestfriends Shane and Shannon... We didn't do much, I cooked us Easter dinner which was pot roast with potatoes and carrots and blackeye peas...It was so good!! Its amazing how unimportant holidays are when you get older, we got Braylon, a basket filled with goodies, and some new Leap Frog game thing that hooks up to the TV..He likes it!! I have eaten so much candy, that I should be in sugar overdrive!! I dont know what my problem is I cant not satisfy my sweet tooth..The bunny cake was pretty good! My boobs hurt a little on 8 DPO then went away, then today as it gets later and later they are hurting pretty bad, almost like a throbbing pain, its weird, I am goin put the heating pad on them and see if that helps..Not losing hope yet we still have about 4 days till AF is due, I know the boob thing could just be my period, but for the past few months they have not hurt this close to my period..I still have some hope left..I made a mistake last month by temp dropped on CD13 not 12, so I am gonna wait until CD13 and see if my temp is still up or not, if it drops then no need to waste my test, we will know AF is a sure thing! O well off to go read my book and put Braylon down for bed...

I feel better!











So I had a pretty rough day today..I cried for about a good hour, then regained my insanity..I wonder sometimes if its normal what we put ourselves through when TTC!? Its crazy..








Well, yesterday Dp,myself, and my bestfriend Shane, all went to Baton Rouge, to drop off some baby gifts, for Dp's brothers ex-girlfriend..I know right that sounds crazy..Truth is she claims that its her new boyfriends baby but according to your due date she would have concieved when her and brother were still together..But who knows, Jeremie plans to pursue it after the baby is born to make sure that its not his child...If it is he definately wants to be a daddy! I think that may have had a thing or two to do with my depression today..But it was nice getaway, its only an hour away, but hey!!!It was still nice! So here are a few quick photo ops we had in the car, we are such cheese balls!!








THis evening I have entertained myself with making and decorating a cake for easter that is sure to make my baby boy smile!!!

Not feelin so great 10 DPO

So yeah not feelin so great, I had really high hopes for this month, but I am startin to feel like its gonna be a let down again..I know its not over till AF shows, but I definately dont feel pregnant, and I am also starting to get a little PMS mood swings..I dont really know what else to do..I dont understand why this is not happening for us..I am so aggravated, frustrated, and my heart is aching, I am starting to feel like maybe its just not meant to be for us..I am goin wallow in my pity and wait and see if AF comes.....

Just being bored!!!







I thought since I love to add pics to my blog I would post these of Braylon, this was yesterday,his first picture at his school while I was registering him for PreK and then at mcdonalds, hes showing his great personality!!!

The big 7 DPO!

Not much of anything is goin on here..I had the whole rosey cheek thing yesterday, still a little red in the face, but I am defiantely not making a big deal out of it..I am just simply amazed with how at peace I am its unreal how stressfree I feel..So i have been on my spring cleaning journey for the past few days, I got a few more things accomplished today like cleaning out cabinets and throwing things away..I cant believe I am throwing things away and spring cleaning and we have only been in our new house for 8 months!!!!But hey its passing my time..I also think that if I ask DP to dig one more hole for me to put a freakin plant in, she will just die! yeah I was at it again last night! I planted to some tropical thing called IXONA and another Hibiscus! We also got all but two shutters put up that have been off the house since before we bought it cause that WITCH RITA ripped them off, and the previous owners just felt it necessary to have a shutter here and there, what the hell if there uneven, so for the last 8 months I been trying to get them painted but I am such the procrastinator, but with DP's help we got them done last week, and the screws came in yesterday! I will take a picture tomorrow if the weather is better, cause Its just been dark and rainy all day..Gotta love that good south Louisiana weather, oh and get this we have a cool front coming through tonight yeah the high is gonna be like 75-78 instead 80-85!!!wow what a cool front...But he humidity will be gone, thank god, cause my hair is not a fan of stickiness!!!Maybe I can flat iron it now and it will stay flat for more than one day!!

So enough of that rambling as you can figure I have no symptoms to report, except for my redy face, clear skin, and wet creamy Cm! I have nothing more to report...Oh I almost forgot I have drank almost a whole pitcher of decaf tea today and I awarded my self a half a bottle of real pepsi with caffeine it was amazing..I also tore up 3 waffles this afternoon, cause I just cant get rid of my sweet tooth which I am usually not a sweet eater..I also just got finished devouring those nature valley granola bars that usually taste like WOOD to me for some reason taste fabulous today!!!BUt like I said definately not reading into things!!!!!!!!!

SPRING CLEANING ANYBODY!!!




Well, as previously stated I have been trying so hard to keep my mind off the TWW, and its actually working, I have to say this so far has been the easiest one yet.. Yesterday, I took everything out of my freezer(the one on fridge) and scrubbed like no tomorrow, I threw so much junk away I could have feed a small country..I know have probaby 6 things in that freezer!!! I also did quite a whirlwind on my fridge, taking out shleves and drawers, its spotless..Then Braylon and I went cut the grass, of course he had to sit on mama's knee and ride with me, thank god hes only 32lbs or we would have issues.. Then I put mulch around my dogwood, and maple trees, along with the flower bed!!!! My yard and my fridge have never looked so good.. Also I learned some napkin folding techniques online(as seen above) and still managed to cook quite a lovely dinner and on the table at 5:30..




I woke all through the night having to pee and I was having some faunky cramps in my lower belly, and almost like a crampy feeling in my back...Weird, temp took a tad dip this AM still well above cover, probably related to me not sleeping well..




Todays agenda, I have to go register my baby for PRE K at 10, I am so excited, but hes not, he wants to stay home with mama! Then I am cleaning out my cabinets, before grocery shopping this weekend.. Then maybe my deep freezer, and laundry grrrr I hate laundry!!!

4 DPO! What a fantastic day!!!!

WOW!!! We had such a good day... I am doin so good at keepin my mind off of this TWW, that its actually scaring me alittle..We went shoppin this afternoon, with our bestfriends, Shane and Shannnon(two boys). We got new towels and placemats, napkins and holders, and a fiya new coffee pot just for me(decaf only)...I was so excited to get home and set it up and program it for my first cup of coffee in the morning, but wouldn't you know I dont have the right filters for the damn thing..SO i have to wait and go get the filters for it tomorrow..Well, after shopping we went to Kart Ranch and had a blast on the go karts, then we hit the batting cages, which was my first time, cause I am usually running from balls that are flying at my head.. But I actually liked it and didnt do quite bad, I must say I was pretty proud of myself!!I cant hardly wait to go back..SO my plans for tomorrow to keep myself busy is to wash my new towels about 8 times so that they absorb better, cause I just hate new towels that dont soak the water off me..I am also going to reorganize my cleaning supply cabinet, it looks like either a tornadoe, or hurricane Katrina hit..Also I gotta put my mulch in my flower bed..So hopefully I can remain occupied through out the week and keep up my good streak..no symptoms which I dont know if thats good or bad, and my cold is starting to go away!!!!!!!!!!!
