I almost forgot to tell you all...my cousin revealed his wife's pregnancy over facebook with the cutest idea. They have a 3 yr old daughter and took her to the park and had her open a big box that was decorated so cute...Once she opened the box "blue" balloons floated up into the sky. There should be a book out there about gender revealing, there must be so many creative ways, but I love orginallity.
Oh Nicole what beautiful Emibabies! I really really hope this is your cycle, I'll pray for you!
dys- We have thought about the multi-cycle it's 10 grand less but you get three chances v/s six so we feel the odds would be in our favor if we went with the Attain Program and IF no baby 70% of our money would be refunded to us...
Leora- I hope you are getting some rest and not worrying about cooking after working those long hours. Are you overall liking your new job?
Kynlee- It must be hard to try to eat healthy, are you having any weird cravings yet?
Ninde- How are you doing with juggling everything tonight? I'm glad you got some reassurance with that injection, I know it's stressful at times. We really need an emergency line to contact our RE after hours. P.S I am reading all about Abundance Praying, never tried it personally but I do know so much energy is focussed on worrying and it keeps my husband's mind in overdrive, it would be refreshing to focus on the good stuff, things that we often take for granted. x
Wow what a weekend so far...last night with the rumbling thunderstorm we had to put Vegas in my walk-in closet. She cried and wimpered and I tried to console her telling it shhhh it's ok, the weather was so rough that our power went out at 5am. Today the pregnant coworker was grumpy and lashed out in front of a customer so I had to have a chat about her attitude and my boss was glad I straightened it out so she didn't have to. Today as my boss was looking over our "blackout for the holidays" calender I mentioned to her that we are looking into getting one IVF scheduled this Fall...The only weeks available to request off would be the first 2 weeks of November. October is already booked and then the blackout starts around mid November...Could I possibly squeeze in an IVF before the holidays??? Dh is really pushing for me to get one in before the end of the year and I know it's going to take time to get our mortgage refinanced trimming our payments down that will be all worked out by the end of August. Today after work I stopped by the seafood market for dinner but worried all the way home that I didn't purchase enough I later laughed because it's just the two of us! For the red snapper, shrimp and baked crabcakes I added corn on the cob, baked potato, hush puppies and I prepared angel slaw.
Cooking is therapeutic but only when I know what we're having! So after we stuffed our faces, we decided to walk it off, Blackjack and Vegas went with us. Dh and I talked about his job and he said he really hopes to get out of this town but at the same time we would be "underwater" if we had to sell our house right now. So I told him we could accomodate and stay here for 15 years to get the mortgage paidoff and by then the market will improved and eventually we could get a cozy place up in the mountains somewhere. He says IF he finds work up north, he would live out in his truck and I would just stay here but I honestly don't see that happening! Are we crazy to refinance the house for a much better interest rate when there is this little chance we could be relocating? Will dh even be in the same line of work this time next year? I'm starting to think we should only think short-term since everything around us seems to be changing. Anyway as we were heading back home from our walk, from the corner of our eye I saw some commotion going on with Blackjack and I couldn't make out what he had gotten ahold of until we got closer, our Blackjack was running around with a chicken in his mouth. The neighbor (who we used to spend hours hanging outside talking with him and his wife) said well this makes number 2! We were stunned b/c we never knew that Blackjack had killed a chicken last week. Apparently our neighbor is raising chicks and we apologized profusingly...asking how we can commensate for his 2 chicks. He said you know how you're crazy about your dogs and think so much of them, well I think the same way for my chicks. Dh went right over to Blackjack and spanked him so hard and the neighbor said that's not going to do any good. The chick (our dog had gotten ahold of) was moving around in the grass and his owner scooped him up into his arms. He said we'll work this out later but for now on you need to keep your dogs on leashes. We felt so bad, been living here out in the country for 4 yrs longer then most of our neighbors (all in all we only have 9 houses around us). Just recently our dogs are being a nuisance to our neighbors. Like I said things seem to be constantly changing. I'll write them a letter this weekend but wish I knew how we could make this up to them. We had no idea even about the first chicken last week. Dh mentioned to me that our association states "no livestock" but we're not those kind of neighbors to report other's I just wish things could go back to normal around here but again what is normal anymore?
. Hope everyone has a nice Sunday. Sending all my love.
