There! Isn't that better?!!

Ok! I revamped the look of my blog....what do you think? It feels fresh & new & clean! Now if I could only get my house to look like that!! LOL! Well, I've got to get Peanut (DD2) some dinner & find out if Little Miss (DD1) is coming home from her aunt's house anytime today!! Hope y'all enjoy the new look!

I guess this title is ok!!

Well, we are officially on hold in the ttc department. AF found me Thursday & I'm starting bcp tonight. On one hand I'm glad....I won't be carrying & caring for a new baby at Disney World....but on the other hand I'm heart broken that we didn't get pg during the last 6 cycles. I really think a big part of the problem is my weight.....& on that I have good news!! I've been working out regularly & really sticking with WW & I've lost 3.5 lbs this week!! My goal is to weigh 175 lbs by the time we leave for Disney World & I'm well on my way to doing that! I'll put my weight ticker to the right....hopefully it'll be changing a LOT!!
Well, I guess I'll just keep on journaling about life until we are back on the ttc wagon! Have a great weekend!!

Today Throws a Wedding!!....

Ok! Please tell me I'm not the only person who LOVES this part of the Today Show?!! LOL! This morning was the first time we, the viewers, were allowed to vote for one of the 2 final couples & I did! I just had to vote for Molly & Jason....Molly lost her mom & has had a hard time continuing with the wedding process....that just really touched me. Chauntee & Josh are a sweet couple too, I just felt more connected to Molly! Sorry, Chauntee & Josh!! Now I have to wait a whole week to find out who won!! Well, maybe AF or a BFP will show up & keep me occupied! ;o) Have a happy day!

P.S. Click here to vote for one of the 2 couples!!

I'm in love.....

I don't think I've shared anything about Darling...my hubby. He is the love of my life.....handpicked by God to be my 'other' (better!) half. I love him from the tips of my toes to the very top of my head. He is wonderful. He patiently & lovingly listens as I give him the play-by-play on my crazy cycles. No judging. No impatience. No being bored or fix-it advice. Just listening.....quietly & lovingly. At first (with ttc DD2), his silence made me feel that he didn't care. But as time went on, I slowly realized that I was enough for him. If all he ever had in his life was me & DD1.....that was ok. More children were just bonusses.............I really envy his calm, contentment sometimes. Sometimes I feel it......but other times (like after holding a new baby or seeing a really pregnant lady or passing the hospital my girls were born in...) the ache just hits me like a ton of bricks........the ache for one more baby....just one more miracle. It's in those moments that I look at him & wish that the 'ache' I feel wasn't there....that in its place was the contentment that Darling so effortlessly posesses. He's a rock. Darling is my rock.....well, my earthly rock! The Lord is for sure my ultimate rock....but I feel like He's given me my Darling to give human arms to HIS hugs. I wish that I had more time to show Darling just how much I appreciate who he is & what he means to me. I love him. Forever.

My Darling is wonderful. I just had to share.

c6, 10dpo (not 8dpo!)

FF changed my O date yet again!! LOL! I'm now 10dpo instead of 8dpo...that's fine by me. If I did O later...AF will just show up later! I'm really not 'feeling' pg. To be honest, I wouldn't be disppointed if I wasn't pg & did take a ttc break. I'm really focusing on losing some serious weight (47 lbs by next September! Eeek!). I'm so tired of being fat. Even if I do end up pg this cycle...I'll still be doing Weight Watchers & working out....at my current weight, my dr would LOVE to see me lose weight while I was pg...as long as I was doing it healthfully! Anyway!

DD1 has 4 days of school behind her now! It's been really fun....I need to be SURE I'm going to bed at around 10pm though. I got pretty frustrated with her today....it was my own fault, I went to bed too late & am very tired. But all in all it's been great fun & she LOVES learning!

DD2 has a sinus infection, so I've cut all dairy out of her diet & will be sure she gets plenty of sleep. Hopefully this will pass soon & she won't be too miserable!

Well, it's nap time here & I really need a bath, so I'll say "au revoir" for now!!

c6, cd27, 3dpo

Well, it looks like I did O!! YAY! DH & I got in a late BD, so I'm not holding my breath, but I know that God has all this under control, so I'm not worried! If I don't get pg this cycle, I'll be on bcp until March 2007, so I'm really hoping I am preggo!

My foot was doing better until I stepped on a My Little Pony this evening. Ugggghhhh!!! It's really swollen again & hurts REALLY badly!!! I took 2 pain pills (I've only been needing one) & it still hurts. Poo. I'm about to go to bed until 11:00 when I'll take 2 more pills & go to bed for the night.

DD1 starts school on Wednesday! I'm SO excited!! I can hardly wait! She's so excited to learn...she asks every night if tomorrow is the first day of school! LOL! I'll try to post a pic of her on her first day!

Ok, these meds have me feeling very woosy...so I'm off to bed! Bye!

c6, cd25...waiting to O!

Ok, I went to the dr with my foot & it is not broken or fractured!! YAY! I'm SO relieved! I did get some pain meds & am feeling MUCH better this morning (although, we went to Joe's Crab Shack last night & the pain med made me SO sick -took them on an empty tummy- that we had to pull over on the way home to let me puke. :o( Totally gross!! It's just NOT worth it if you aren't pg! LOL!

On the ttc front, I think I'm Oing! I'm definitely not pg (thank goodness! I had to have an x-ray yesterday!) & did not O on cd8....that would have been wild for my body anyway! So, I'm hoping DH & I can get in a BD this afternoon...neither he or I felt much like BDing after my upchucking episode on the way home last night! ;o) If I don't get pg this cycle, I have a Rx for birth control pills so we can be sure not to be having a baby the same time we are supposed to go to Walt Disney World next September! (Is that sad?!! LOL!)

My sister is coming later this morning to "take care of me". We'll just end up laying around & watching movies....which is nice too! Well, It's time for some breakfast & pain meds....hopefully without the puking! Have a wonderful weekend!! Bye!
