Never underestimate the power of a woman's intuition

HMM- Intuition is amazing isn't it? A few months ago I "just knew" if I went off clomid I would get pregnant. When I went on clomid I felt like we were rushing it. So, I go off clomid and BAM! Im preggo, imagine that? Why didn't I listen earlier?? But I'm pretty happy about delivering in September, since my Bday is the same month :) I also believe that the mama knows the baby of the sexs before she is told. In 71% of cases where the mother guesses she is correct, however she has a 50% chance of gettting it right no matter what she says! I think we'll have a boy. And Im not just saying that because we want a boy. I really think that's what my little nugget is. But we'll see!! I can't wait to hear the heartbeat, Im going crazy waiting for that appointment. My first appointment is next thursday but I dont think they'll be able to hear anything. At least all get confirmation, I still cant believe it. Anyway, always trust your intuition, it knows more than you do!

We finally did it!

After one whole year of trying, and one year and three months of being off birth control, we finally are pregnant! Yay!! It's still very early, and Im terrified of what could happen but Im trying to stay positve. After all the let downs, it's really hard to not imagine the worst scenario. But, Im super happy! My first appointment is January 8th and I should be getting some blood work done to confirm my pregnancy. Im not really having any symptoms other than being extremely tired but I had a ton of positive test and the lines just keep getting darker! Im so very happy but really nervous. I cant wait until my first appointment so that everything can become very real! I dont know when I would have missed my period because I quit taking my fertility pill this cycle. It made my cycle 31-32 days so I imagine it would have been shorter without it. In that case I am pretty sure Im late. Anyway, Im going in to my fifth week right now and I cant wait to see how this whole thing plays out! Wish us luck!

AF is coming to town.

Well, Im almost 100% positive AF is coming to town real soon. All signs point to yes. I guess this just wasn't our cycle. Which means, we have officially been trying for one year :( Hopefully 2009 will be our year, here's to hoping.

On a lighter note, Merry Christmas Eve everybody!

Merry Christmas!

Its almost christmas! Im so super excited! Yesterday I went shopping for stocking stuffers for my hubby and there are only 2 things I got that will fit in his stocking! haha Most of them will have to be put in a bag or something. Then I went to safeway and bought ingredients to bake goodies. I have never done this before so Im nervous about it but I cant wait to see how it all turns out! Im making peanut brittle, fudge, cookies, toffee, and old fashioned candy. Im so excited for christmas. We have a lot of presents for everyone this time. Last year was really cheap because of the wedding so Im happy we could afford christmas this year. I cant wait until my mom gets here and everybody is at our house for dinner. I love christmas!!

2ww, 8 DPO

Hello, ugh Im in the 2ww............but, it's not so bad this time. With christmas coming and finals this week Im super busy and don't really have a lot of time to worry about it. However, my girls have been super sore and I only get sore girls every once in a while a few days before AF shows up. Dont know if that means anything since I am only 8DPO. Anyway, I know we did really good this C so Im excited. But Im testing on christmas day ... uh oh!!! lol I know Im really setting myself up but Ill be fine. My mom is going to be here and we are going to be really busy so chances are I wont even have time to think about it if it's a BFN. If it's a BFP Im not telling anyone except DH and my mama. Im terrified of m/c and I don't want the whole town to go through it with me (I live in a small town so word will get around quick) Going to pray that this is our C, because this is the 12 month mark and Im getting so sick of waiting! There is too much waiting involved in TTC, Im driving myself crazy! haha

So, besides TTC I can't wait for christmas! Yesterday Brandon and I went to walmart and got some presents for my FIL and a few other things. We also bought me a sewing machine! Yay! Im so excited! I want to make clothes and throw pillows, and curtains! Im so excited because I hate manufactured decor. I don't feel unique when I know there are a million othere people out there with the same stuff!! Im one of those weird people who doesn't like the same things as everybody else. I hate cliche and stereotype, yuck! Well I have to work monday, tuesday, and wednesday then Im off. My hubby is off all week so Im happy about that! Ill have somebody to come home to when I get off work at 12 (I only work part time) Then on Christmas Eve, Im going to spend the whole day baking and cleaning! I cant wait to make all the candy and fudge and all that good stuff!! It will be my first time to do something like that so Im super excited! My mom and her boyfriend Jay are going to be here christmas day and I cant wait to see them! I havent been able to spend christmas with my mom in a few years so it will be nice :) OH how I do love the holidays

Im O'ing!

Today I have EWCM and my CP is HSO!! YAY! Also, my OPK was positive! Taking another this afternoon so we'll see how it looks. I'm so excited. Im planning for DH and I to BD tonight, in the morning, and tomorrow night. We usually do on saturday anyway so that will just make sure we cover our bases! Im so excited, is that weird. I dont know why Im so excited, you'd think I was pregnant or something..

Anyway, Im working until four today yuck and I have to get my essay done or Im going to lose 10 points! A little bit of stress going on over here so hopefully that doesn't hurt TTC. Well me and my friend are going to Flagstaff tomorrow to go shopping and I cant wait! It will be very relaxing (shopping is my therapy) Then saturday DH will be hunting so I am going to do finals all day. That should be fun...not! At least it will keep me occupied since i'll be in the dreaded 2ww. Hopefully with christmas coming so soon I wont have time to think about if I am KU or not....... wishful thinking right?! ha!!

Oh yeah I forgot, I have been doing so good at taking my prenatals!! I used to be terrible but Im doing really good, maybe that will help a little?

Waiting to O

These waits are so stinkin boring!! Im waiting to O and Im so bored... lol at least when you are in the 2ww to POAS or for AF you have something to think about!! Ugh..... both waits suck but Im really bored. I decorated the house this weekend, well I tried anyway. I was going through my decorations and realized I only have stuff for my tree haha! I have a few things for the house but not much. Time to go shopping! This is only our second christmas alone in our house so our supplies are limited lol! We still need to get a tree though, maybe this weekend? Going shopping this friday, cant wait! Finish up presents and get a few things I need. Should be fun :) Anway, I guess I better get back to work hehe

Ok, more TTC

Well, I would be starting my 5th round of clomid tomorrow but Im not.. Im on CD 4 and Im very optimistic about this cycle. Im really layed back about the whole thing and my 2ww shouldnt be too bad because of christmas coming up and Im going to be very busy. Since Holbrook is so little and we have to travel to go shopping, Venessa and I are going to flagstaff next friday. Im so excited because shopping is such a stress reliever for me and we are going just before I should be ovulating. But Im just praying I still ovulate without the clomid. Im really scared about that. I usually do ovulate on my own but I dont know, since going off clomid Im scared my body is going to get confused.. I guess we'll see! My OPK strips should be here soon and Im going to start using them on CD10 since I dont know how long my cycle is going to be without the meds. So anyway, I dont know who is going to care to read about my TTC but Im really excited for this cycle...

Im thankful for my family

Hello!! Well I decided I should blog about my turkey day since it was so great!! We left wednesday night and got to young at around 6pm or so. It was the first time we were able to see my mom's place and its really cute so Im very happy for her. Anyway, on thursday morning we woke up early and drove out to my Grandparents. The dinner was so good! And it was really nice to be with Blair and Stacey. We havent had Thanksgiving over there in years. I was so very happy! Then friday was great as well. My other brother, bryce and his wife and my two nephews came to visit. So I got to see both my brothers, my sister-in-laws, and my nephews! As well as my mom and my grandparents. I have been that happy in a long time!!! It was so good to see them all! That night we went to my moms and sat around the fire and chit chatted. It was great... Im still beaming from it!

Trying to Conceive

Well the hubby and I are trying to get preggers! I have been off birth control since september '07 but we didnt start trying until January and even then I wasnt sure when I was ovulating so I dont think we really started trying hard until July '08 when I was put on fertility pills. I am supposed to go on to my 5th round of clomid this month but I decided not to. We want to just relax and see what happens! If it doesnt happen by March or so I think Im going to make hubby go get some testing done!! I cant wait to see if I ovulate on my own this month! I usually do ovulate on my own but Im scared I wont without the assistance of clomid but we'll see. Im so excited to try normally again! yay!! No more stress hopefully, it will happen when its supposed to!
