2. I start follistim tonight- woohoo!

4. I have to take B to the vet for a teeth cleaning. We haven't had this done yet so I'm a bit nervous.

6. It's getting cooler here and I might get to wear my new boots soon!
7. Although there are some negatives to working from home, I generally love it.
8. I am so happy for all the positive results recently!!

1. I have a secret stash of mini reese's cups in my desk that I have been snacking on all day.
2. I'm enjoying the new itunes radio
3. I'm happy that The Bengals have had a good opener to their season so far
4. I'm really hoping The Reds end up with a wild card spot for the playoffs
5. As much as I like Julep polish, I'm going to be canceling after this month. I just have WAY too many polishes that I've never used before and I could be spending that money on something else.
6. I'm exciting for Halloween candy!
7. I had my first pumpkin donut of the season on Friday and it was so freaking good.
8. I'm happy that my H has taken on more projects around the house that he's been neglecting
9. I really need some new shoes, but I'm so picky so I probably won't actually be getting them any time soon.
10. I wish my browser at work weren't so locked down, because then I'd be reading some nook books instead of being bored here most days

2. Within the past week I've had 2 almond croissants and 1 1/2 bagels... I think I have veered off the low carb diet JUST A LITTLE.
3. It's weird not knowing it I O'd or where my temps are. A little liberating and a little nerve racking.
4. I don't want to cook at all tonight but I have all this meat that needs to be cooked.
5. 1 guy at my job told me yesterday he needs to find a new job and today another guy asked me to help print his resume. I feel like everyone is going to be leaving my job soon.
6. I've heard so many bad things about the new iphone ios 7 upgrade I am nervous to update my phone now.
7. I would give anything to go away to some random island with just DH and not speak to anyone for a whole week.
8. I wish I had a yoga class by my house so I could de-stress after work.
9. I want a big add chocolate cake SOOOO bad!
10. And a nice bottle of Riesling

DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
1. There's a piece of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting hiding out in my desk drawer. I will be devouring it in t-minus 10 minutes.
2. I'm working on things that I've never dealt with before at work, and I feel very uncomfortable about it.
3. There's an open house at the new elementary school in town tonight. I'm more excited about being able to browse around the school our children will go to, than H being part of the "meet & greet" going on during it.
4. My lemon vanilla hand lotion from B&BW smells amazing!
5. I've re-painted my nails more in the last week than I have in the past month.
6. Fall shows are back on!!!! HIMYM, Big Bang, 2 Broke Girls. Eek!
7. I would rather be outside taking pictures with my camera, than be at work today.
8. After work I have to go pick H up from the body shop. The repairs they did from the deer damage aren't so great. So we have to fight with them on it. :-(
9. There's 9 minutes between me and my chocolate cake!
10. My chart is driving me insane! I don't know how you most of you ladies handle the 2WW on a monthly basis.

1. I'm going in to get my CD 21 blood work tomorrow before heading to work. I'm worried that they won't be able to find a vein to draw from. Any lucky vibes you can send my way are appreciated!
2. Because of said blood work, I'm trying to chug as much water as I can before bedtime tonight. I heard it helps to be well hydrated. I have to fast tonight so I can't drink anything beforehand.
3. I have a huge headache.
4. It amazes me at the level of the kids that I teach. Things that I used to teach easily to second graders before I now find that they don't have the attention span to learn.
5. I really wish my someday kids weren't doomed to a future of public school. Seeing the state of our school district where we live really makes me want to home school or do private school. Like we have the money for that though....
6. I was going to start walking and exercising this week but alas I am sick. That always happens to me. I am all determined and ready to start exercising and then I get sick.
7. I really enjoy watching re-runs of sitcoms like Friends and King of Queens.
8. The Pirates are in the playoffs! Woot!
9. I get along better with the custodian at work than I do with some of my co-workers.
10. I'm excited to watch the season premier of the Big Bang Theory this week. I just hope we remember to watch!

2. I normally am not a fan of pumpkin spice lattes but that sounds kind of good right now.
3. I feel like I am wanting to drink a lot right now to make up for all the time I avoided booze while TTC. Make that coffee as well.
4. I want to take a nap
5. I wish I had more hours in the day
...Maybe I'll come back when I think of 5 more....
Married August 2009
3 years. 5 losses.
Our rainbow baby boy born 11.16.15
2. I was told my outfit was "Pinterest perfect" today
3. I started looking at adoption info last night and while I've always wanted to adopt, it kinda freaked me out.
4. I ate a Hershey almond bar. I don't even really like them, but I was hungry.
5. Even though I'm in my 30s, I still feel 22.
6. I'm so anxious to see if my body will cooperate and actually O again, but I'm also impatient and not sure I want to wait 60+/- days to find out.
7. I think I had an overload of hormones with this AF... I had so many emotions and that is not normal for me.
8. I haven't taken my measurements yet, but I'm down a pants size, at least 7lbs and I know a whole bunch of inches just in the last 20ish days. Yay!
9. I'm very thankful for my Bitters. They make even the worst week better! Y'all know who you are
10. If I see one more pregnancy announcement on FB this week, I am not responsible for my actions.
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
1. I'm so much more relaxed now that my ILs are gone. I'm so happy to have my house back.
2. I'm trying to convince myself to go workout today. It's taking a lot of motivation.
3. I'm ready to binge on all the new shows coming back.
4. DH is taking me to a concert tomorrow night. We have different tastes in music, and I'm not excited.
5. I have to call in sick Thursday due to said concert.
6. I'm frustrated that work will not let me schedule a sick day early (see above). I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for that afternoon, and my supervisor refuses to sign off on taking the entire day off.
7. I am feeling a little bit of a sore throat coming on.
8. This 2ww is killing me. I hate waiting, but I don't want the disappointment of a negative.
9. The Reds are in the playoffs!!! I'm so excited!
10. One month until Hawaii! I'm so ready to be there.
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
2. I wish slippers were acceptable to wear all of the time.
3. I can't find my other slipper and it makes me sad because I can't seem to find the style I like anywhere.
4. We have way too many DVDs.
5. I wish it were acceptable to punch people you work with.
6. We are going to Texas Roadhouse tonight for dinner and I am going to eat a million breads.
7. Watching DIY network makes me feel badly about the projects we haven't finished or keep putting off. But not badly enough to make me do anything about it.
8. Alan is back on Facebook and it kind of worries me.
9. More places need to sell Irish breakfast and make it properly!
10. I keep hoping someone will just give me a house. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm still hoping.

A Parachute in an Oak Tree: A World of Love
2. I picked up Subway after my training session and it totally hit the spot.
3. My SIL is refusing to talk/be in the same room as me....and it's glorious. I only worry that this means I'll see less of my new nephews.
4. I have more boys than girls in my class this year. I forget how "different" that makes the class. I got spoiled last year when I had more girls than boys.
5. Jimothy's birthday is on Thursday and I've got plans to take him to a new restaurant that he mentioned he wants to try sometime. He keeps asking if it's at Restaurant A and I'm worried because now I'm afraid he'll be disappointed that it's at Restaurant B.
6. In the last 12 months, I have had 10 cycles. That has NOT ever happened in my life. I've never had 10 periods in a years time. NEVER. This is turn makes me stabby that I'm not one of the lucky ones that accidentally gets knocked up. 10 cycles!! Argh.
7. I got to watch my best friend open birthday gifts with her foster daughter this weekend. My heart swelled with both immense joy and pain at knowing what being a mom means to her. This is what we should be doing. Watching our best friend open gifts with her baby. Who is the most adorable little girl in the world. BTW.
8. #7 probably made her cry.
9. I need to get rich, move to the east coast, or get rid of all the states in between there.
10. I am in a wedding next weekend....I love being a bridesmaid. When the bride isn't a raging bridezilla, anyway. I love getting my hair, nails and makeup done. I really was born to be a princess.
