25 weeks and counting!

I am a bad blogger! I think of posts to write but then I never start them! I am 25 weeks today!

I did a reveal cake for my niece and nephews at 20 weeks! I have been feeling okay. Exhausted during the first trimester and last week heartburn has started. Everything has been good. I had to do a fetal echo cardiogram because my older brother was born with a whole in his heart. Everything game back as okay!

I am enjoying the time of for the holidays! Back to work in three days. Then the countdown til spring break!

I had new carpets installed in the babies room last week ....pink carpets had to go! I need to get the crib built and then start organizing! The biggest waste of time has been trying to find new drawer handles for the dresser that is in the nursery instead of buying a new dresser. Still searching and returning pieces of handles!  I am suppose to go register tomorrow! I guess I will need to start blogging more often now!

Of to research some baby gadgets to be ready to register tomorrow!

Catch up

I did not post in June/July because I in the waiting game of the fertility realm.  We missed my ovulation in June. It happened over a weekend.  We started over in July.  After 4 days in the row of blood work and u/s, we had it timed correctly.  Oh and the use of clom.id.  Which I did not originally want to use but then I did not want to miss July.  The iui was done Saturday July 21. And wow has it been a long two weeks.  I did things to keep myself busy but wow it still felt forever.

I worked on lesson plans, set up new bookshelves for my office, and other stuff.  I read a lot of books. Thank you library e-books.  I went to the beach for the weekend and will be going back this week for the week with the family.

I took a preg test last week (can't remember what day) and it show a faded line. Too early.  But much relief.  Did one Sunday and the same.  I have my appointment at the drs for blood work tomorrow.

In the meantime, the car has been in the shop for air conditioning issues.  It is not in my financial plans to buy a vehicle this year.  So I am paying 550 dollars to get an air conditioning sensor and hopefully solve this problem.

I am excited! I just need confirmation from the dr.  I am getting annoyed with questions and people telling me what to do.  I told my mom it is going to be a long 9 mos if I am cranky.

When is the day?

I had my 12 day appointment this morning.  They took blood and then did an ultrasound.  I have good lining and look to be ovulating within the next few days.  The doctor suggested I get an OPK from a local pharmacy and to call if any changes in color occur over the weekend.  I have an appointment scheduled for Monday.  So things are moving along on this end.

I started painting my spare bedroom that use to be an office on Tuesday.  It has been too hot (high 90's) to work on it the last two days.  Besides I was in W!ld wood, NJ for the Ke.nny  Che.sney Concert on Wednesday.  I think I am going to go finish up the painting now.  If only I had the motivation that I had on Monday and Tuesday of this week.  Maybe my lack of motivation has to be with the napper on the love seat next to me!

Moving along

Well my plans are moving along.  This is only my second post and I am going to use words not all the abbreviations.  As the school year wraps up, everything is going on as planned.  School finishes tomorrow afternoon.  Students were done today with a half day.  I started my period on Monday.  I called the doctor.  I started all the paperwork for ordering the specimen.  Tuesday, I received the call back that the paperwork was complete.  I sent my end of the paperwork back Tuesday night.  On Wednesday, I received a message from the doctor's office asking me for my pharmacy number.  I called back and asked why.  I went into a standoff mode...they wanted me on cl*mid and I didn't agree.  We haven't tried anything yet and I don't feel I should use it without trying first.  I have friends who have used it but I just want to try without for the first time.  The nurse called back saying it was fine and we schedule u/s for day 12 (next friday).  I ordered the specimen and now I am just waiting.

Sometimes I feel nervous about the unknown and "changing".  I am single.  I do as I want.  It is not odd to meet up with a friend for drinks or dinner at the spur of the moment.  I feel like I might be mourning my "freedom" in a few weeks.  I know this is normal for me to question and analyze my self.  I know this is the right decision for me but I think the waiting game is going to cause anxiety for me.  I just want the baby in my arms now.  Instant gratification!

Well, I am tired. Last day of work tomorrow.  I am going to go read. 50 sh.ades trilogy part 3.  Not sure how I feel about these books yet.

Welcome

So today is a holiday. I am off from school and I had big plans of what I was going to do with my day.  I was going to go to the supermarket so I don't have to do it after work one night this week. I was going to the gym.  I was going to start working on organizing my tax info for the accountant.  However I found Choice Mom blogs on blog spot and have spent 4 hours reading different blogs.  Time to get moving to the store.
