Hello Again Blog World!

Hello my fellow bloggers! I has been so long!! Almost 9 months to be exact. SO sorry for the radio silence. What have I have been up to? Adjusting to Texas (which is great!, and horrible since it is so far from my family!!), raising my little girl, Allura who is almost 15 months old now, working part time (mostly from home), and trying to meet other Mommies in the area.

I started to read over some of your blogs, the kids are so big!! I see some of you are expecting again, and others are running into difficulty trying to add to your families.

We have also just started to add to our family of 3. I am scheduled for a FET (frozen embryo transfer) for the first week of July!! Right now I am on BCP, and I start estrogen next week. It is hard to get back into the swing of infertility treatments, but an FET is SO much easier than an IVF treatment.

We have four frozen embryos, so if this transfer doesn't work then we have another shot later on. I am really hoping that the first time is a charm, but trying not to get my hopes up too much. This time feels so different than before though, because we are so blessed just to be parents.

Gymb.oree Class!

Oops, I did it! I didn't mean too, it just sort of happened. I signed up for gymbor.ee classes!! I went to their open house and it was like a time share deal where they seduce you with a good deal(I just couldn't say no!!)

Oh well! Allura had such a great time I couldn't dissapoint her right?? Ha ha!! I figure I can keep her enrolled for a few months and then sign her up her mommy and me swim lessons later on. And eventually onto dance lessons (ok I am getting a few years ahead of myself) It is so awesome to actually watch her learn! I am loving this stage in her life right now.

6 months old!

Oh Baby Girl, you will be 6 months old on Saturday the 11th. I can't believe it. You are such a blessing to Daddy and me!

Baby Girl has started teething. Her bottom two front teeth are popping out, and hurting Mommy every so often. I try not to freak out when she bites during breastfeeding, but ouch!! Luckily she doesn't do it very often; I think we might have passed this stage!

I can't wait to start feeding her solid foods. I went to the farmers market and picked up a bunch of fruits and veggies. I am going to try and feed her all homemade baby food. Instead of buying cookbooks, I checked some out from the library and made copies (also there are a ton of websites you can print recipes out from). I only paid 2 dollars instead of 20 for the books!

Also I started taking Allura to our local library for baby reading time. It is AWESOME! I HIGHLY recommend this if your local library (or even try a surrounding city) offers these types of classes. They read stories, sing songs and rhymes, and have toys and parachute time. Allura loved it. She is not used to being around other babies, so it was great to see her interact with everyone. I also met some very cool ladies!

I am also thinking of signing up for a stroller workout class. It is really hard to get a work out in with a 6 month old. This way she can come with me. It would also force me to do it, which is what I need!!

Hope everyone is doing great!!!!!

Cleaning day!

I spent all day cleaning today: dishes, laundry, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, and heck ya it rained today so that means no watering the plants!!!! Procrastination paid off!

And poor baby has been spitting up all day!! She rarely does this. I feel so guilty like I ate something that is making her do it! But she does it with a smile on her face so it can't be that bad!!

And... my baby girl is 5 months old today!! I can't believe it!

Sleep Schedule and wanting number 2 already???

My little one has been all over the map this last week, keeping me up until 12:30 one night. She did really great adjusting to Texas time for the first week, and then went back to Arizona time the second week! Luckily she has gone back to TX time! She has been sleeping earlier and earlier everyday until last night she finally got down at 10pm. Yeah!! I tried to wake her up earlier from her naps to adjust her bedtime, and it seems to have worked. Thank God!!

In other breaking news (yes my life is this exciting right now!): I got glasses! I feel like a sexy librarian! I finally broke down and got glasses. Good news for my hubby - we don't need a bigger TV - I can actually read the guide now!

My house still has a bunch of boxes in it. I am not motivated anymore to unpack until we can paint - and that won't be for a while. So I have tried movin g them all to our spare room so they aren't staring at me!

Ooh - and I kind of feel my biological clock ticking again. (I know I am CRAZY - Allura is turning 5 months old tomorrow) But I can't help it; I am feeling the pull. My frozen embryos are calling to me from AZ. Ok I am being melodramatic! I know it is too soon. We decided to think about it after the new yearl and besides I am still breastfeeding exclusively. I should just focus on my first holiday season with my lovely little one! Oh well it is just a thought, right?

New Blog Name!

Hey All thanks for the name ideas!! I really like them!!

I decided to merge two of them:

My Texas Cutie...Created out of Love & Science

A little on the Long side but I like them both!!

It feels really crazy to change it!! Definitely feels like a new chapter in my life. Nothing really new to report here. Allura is laughing alot more which is adorable. I breaks my heart when I have to work; but I know I am very spoiled since I can work from home. So I should not complain at all. It is just a little harder than I though it would be, and I know it is only going to get harder as she gets older and needs more attention.

I will be traveling to CA in a few weeks for my cousins wedding. It will be Allura's first flight and I am NOT looking forward to it. Sean won't be able to come with me, so I am scared beyond belief to brave this one alone!!! Any tips???

New Blog Title?

Hey everyone. I am thinking that I should probably change my blog title! It is kind of outdated since our little one is here (Thank you Lord).

I am thinking something to commemorate how she was conceived (IVF). Or maybe that we are starting our new life in Texas.

Maybe:

Mama of my Texas Cutie

My Life after Infertility
(Although I don't really like this one since I will still need assistance in having siblings for Allura)

I am drawing a blank and I don't want to copy someone elses!

Any Suggestions???
