How well do you know me??

Take this quiz to find out:

It's been a while

I know, I know. It's weird--I've been kinda busy, but not much is really going on.

On the TTC front, I'm on my second round of clomid. Once I ovulate I'll start taking prometrium to keep my progesterone levels up. So we're still pretty much just waiting for something to happen.

On the job front, the first day for teachers was yesterday and I'm still working as a freakin aide. With as many new special ed teachers there were at the district department meeting, I'm a little irritated that I didn't get a job this summer. The good news is that I just saw that there is a PK-5 Elementary Classroom position opening. Even better, I have an interview for a 3rd grade position at a private Lutheran school tomorrow morning.

Magic 8 Ball

So Josh just upgraded my computer to Vista and I have all these cool gadgets I can have on the side. One of them is a Magic 8 Ball. So I am now open for business answering questions and making predictions. Ask away--but remember only yes or no questions and I cannot be held responsible for unwelcomed answers. But I'll happily accept gifts from those who receive good news ;)

If at first you don't succeed

try, try again. At least that's what they say, right? So here I am with stupid Aunt Flo visiting once again so I get another chance to get pregnant. But this time, it's a bit different. I get to start taking Clomid this cycle. I never really thought I'd have to take meds to get pregnant. After all, it didn't take my mom a whole month to get preg with me or my younger sister (not sure about older one). And my sister's girls surprised her when they showed up. Now I'm really wishing Josh and I had continued trying when we started like 2 1/2 years ago instead of deciding to wait after about 6 weeks of trying. Oh well, I guess the struggle will just make me appreciate my baby all the more when he/she finally does arrive.

That was rough

I've been to a lot of funerals, but Mollie's was the hardest. I've been able to rationalize just about every other death, but there's no way to understand why such a precious little girl had to go. Please continue to pray for her parents and brother.

As much as I've been focused on trying to get pregnant, this really put it into perspective for me. They say that to have loved and lost is better than not to have loved at all. But I think I'd rather take not being able to get pregnant than to have one much less two of my children die before the age of 11.

HSG

So it looks like my tubes are okay. I've got to tell you though, it hurt like a mother! The lady said it'd feel a lot like menstrual cramps. But it was like 10 times worse. I was almost in tears. But it didn't take too long so the pain was temporary. So I'll see the OB on Friday for my PCT and hopefully he'll give me some progesterone to help my luteal phase.

Please Pray

I'd really appreciate it if you'd pray for Josh's cousin's family. We got a call about an hour and a half ago and were told that his cousin's daughter (Mollie 9 or 10 yrs old) drowned this evening and was pronounced dead at 6pm Hawaii time. This is about 2 or 3 years after her 6 yr old son died after being run over. Today was actually his birthday as well. Needless to say, Jennifer (Josh's cousin) isn't doing too well. She does have a 15 year old son, but she isn't able to have anymore children. So please pray for them.

What was I thinking?????

Okay, so I've volunteered to help with this Drug Education For Youth thing. Sounds like it'll be kinda fun, but I have no idea what exactly I'll be doing. The bad part is that I volunteered before I got a part time job at WalMart where I'm working until midnight most evenings. Then I normally sleep in until around 10 or 11. But here I am up before 7 after going to bed around 1am. I have no idea what time I'll be finished. Hopefully, I'll have enough time to get a nap before I have to go back to work at 7 tonight!! It's only a week and a half so I should be able to do this. I guess it'll also get me prepared for how it will be once the school year starts back--assuming I ever get a teaching job!

Dr's appointments

Okay so I've got a couple more appointments to see what's going on with the whole trying to get pregnant. According to my bloodwork that I had done last week, my progesterone level was low so he may put me on some medication for that. Next Monday, June 25, I have an appointment for an HSG and my PCT on Friday, the 29th. Josh should be excited because the PCT will mean morning sex on Friday :)

Out of town

Josh and I are going to San Antonio to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. We're leaving tomorrow and won't be back until next Thurs. I hope you all have a great weekend :)
