Nothing New

I have not updated because there is nothing to report. I have been working and trying to wrap up my semester of classes!
It is still to early to know anything in the baby department. I am hoping for a Christmas surprise.
Come out tonight to the parade and see me and Milly in the parade. Her doggie daycare is having a float and she is going to be in the parade : )
I hope to have pictures to post.

Thanksgiving

Scott and I had a wondeful Thanksgiving. We were able to make rounds and see both of our families. My mom had Thanksgiving at her house and it was wonderful. The house was full (26 people) and the most food I think we have ever had. The best part was the kids! We have not had a lot of kids around for the past years and know it seems like there are more kids than adults!
After spending time at my mom's we went to see Scott's family and spent a lot time with his mom and brothers. Again the nieces and nephews were all there providing lots of excitement. Overall we had a great holiday.
We spent the next day shopping for some Christmas presents and Christmas decorations. While Scott was at the Kentucky game on Saturday I decorate the house for Christmas. Now we just have to get a tree. I think we are getting a balled tree so we can plant it at the house and have a tree in our yard!
Also, we are in the waiting period to test for pregnancy. We are pretty sure the Clomid made me ovulate this month now we just have to wait until we can take a home pregnancy test! Keeping our fingers crossed for some exciting news to share for Christmas!

Where the Sidewalk Ends

So my favorite book when I was little was "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein. Today I was at school and one of the teachers I teach with had the CD to go with book. I never knew such a thing existed. I must confess I am sitting at my house listening to "Where the Sidewalk Ends" : )

I can't wait the book to my little one and now we can listen to this hilarious reading of it!

Weimaraner Reunion

This weekend was Thanksgiving at the lake. Our friend PJ has a cabin down at Cumberland at every year has an early Thanksgiving dinner at the cabin. PJ and his girlfriend is who we got our Weimaraner Milly from. So the decided to have a "birthday" reunion for the puppies. They have the mom Ella and one puppy Abigail. Also, PJ's sister has a puppy (Lily) and the brought here.

There were four Weimaraners playing all night long! At one point there were six dogs with us. Good thing everyone there loves dogs!



As you can see in the pictures everyone had a great time! You don't want to know how hard it was to get all four of those dogs on the couch for their picture. We never could get everyone looking at the same time!

The New Do

Here is my new haircut. I tired not to get too much cut off but I did have her stack the back up. Also, we thinned it out a lot.

The color is back to dark. I took the blonde highlights out since it is winter!

Back to Normal

Well the side effects are gone but it took a couple of days. I took my last pill on Tuesday night and Friday was the first day I felt "normal". I think the Clomid is working I "feel" like I am ovulating but only time will tell. We are not doing the ovulation predictors because it is just too stressful worrying about everything. Hopefully the Holidays will bring good news for everyone. Thanksgiving will be soon to know but by Christmas we will definitely know!

Clomid Days 3,4 & 5

Okay so the Clomid finally starting causing some side effects. I have had this strange anxious, nervous feeling. It is like I am jittery and my skin has the crawling feeling. It did not start until Monday but has been pretty constant everyday since. Also, I have had some hot flashes especially during the night.
Over all it has not been that bad and will continue to take it if we do not get pregnant this next month.
Tonight was my last pill so I hope the side effects are gone in the next couple of days.

On another note my new camera came in so the next time my hair doesn't look like I was in a tornado I will take a picture of my NEW hair!

Clomid Day 2

I have survived my second round of Clomid. I really do not think I am going to have any side effects since I am on such a low dosage.
I have basically just told myself I am not going to have side effects and thing it is a mind over matter thing.
I probably won't update about the Clomid anymore unless I do start to have side effects.
Scott and I have decided to use the ovulation strips while we are trying this month so we can determine if the Clomid is working. My doctor said you can only take Clomid for 6 months. So if I take the 50 mg dose all 6 months and it doesn't work. I can't up my dosage and take a higher dosage for another 6 months.
Therefore, I thought it would be a good idea to do the ovulation strips and try to figure out if the Clomid made me ovulate or not.
Then when I go back for my check up I can talk about increasing the dosage. You have to go back for a one month check up while on Clomid because it can cause cysts on your ovaries. Which I am more inclined to get cysts on my ovaries because I have PCOS (poly-cystic ovary syndrome).
Thanks to all who ask questions about my progress and pray for Scott and I to become pregnant.
You all will be the first to know! Well after mommas and best friends!

Clomid Day One

So I took my first dose of Clomid last night and no side effects!
We are really excited to be starting the Clomid process especially since I just had my surgery to flush my tubes. I know we both are have our hopes up a lot that we are going to get pregnant immediately because of the surgery. But if we don't get pregnant month one we will be okay with it and just keep trying. I am sort of hoping to have good baby news to share for Christmas : )
We will just keep our fingers crossed!

Disclaimer

*Disclaimer* for unacceptable behaviors such as moodiness and hot flashes! I am getting ready to start my first round of Clomid, so if I am a little "odd" (odder than usual) please excuse me! I am only taking 50 mg. once a day SO I shouldn't have too many side effects but you never know.
I will keep everyone posted as we hope for the baby dust to come our way.

Same Ole' Same Ole'

So I haven't updated for awhile... but honestly there has not been that much going on. I go to work everday and on the weekends I work on homework. Woo Hoo! Exciting I know!

Last week was stressful because I missed 3 days of work because I was sick and had to go to a training. I would have much rather worked sick. It was so crazy coming back to everything backed up.

I am excited that I have Tueday off for Election Day. I do not have anything planned besides working out and working on homework.
