Wowza, Im tired. I spent 3 hours planting flowers today. I know last time I said I was done, but I couldnt pass up the $40 voucher the military gives us every year. So I spent 3 hours in the 85 degree sunshine today. Nick will be so happy to see all of them. We really have a lot now. I stuck with all red, white and blue flowers. Im way too tired to go out there and take pictures but I did take a picture of my feet. I know I tan fast, but geez, after 3 hours I now have flip flop tan going on. Next time, I will go bare foot.
This comming weekend, will be my last weekend without Nick. Well, until next deployment...

129th post for me...oh the joys of having my life on a blog...lol
So here was my Friday..
First you gotta know that ALL military wives, when their husbands are gone buy something totally spur of the moment. Weather it be a piece of furniture ( I did that his last deployment, new coffee table and 2 end tables ) or a pet. ( I did that that also on his last deployment and thats how I got Roo. )
So yesterday I went to the pet store with my friends. They were getting their daughter Jamie 2 fish because hers died. Before I went up to PA I gave her my 10 gallon tank and fish. They finally died. I decided after seeing them I missed my tank and fish but I didnt want another because my fish and frogs died and it was hard to keep clean and a pain in the butt.
So because of that I thought a Beta fish would be great. It only needs a small bowl ( with lid cuz of my cats ) and no filtration system, easy to clean, I can leave him for days without food and he will survive so he's very little maintence.
So I bought one......And Roo loves it. His name is Buddy.
Nick said he was cute and wasnt going to kick my butt.

It's May 24th. Finally..still seems forever until Nick comes home. Ugh..
I forgot to mention on my post yesterday the blanket Nick sent me, well...he sent it for baby actually. But it got claimed by someone else..The other someone else claimed the package paper.
Take a look...
I have since put the blanket away in the baby's closet.

23 May 2007
So, my appt. yesterday didnt go as we had hoped. Turns out that my 1 egg did not develop and I did not ovulate. It was an anovulatory cycle. My body is still off track from the miscarriage in March. You would by now it would straighten itself out by now. Hopefully it's taking it's good old time and getting on track for a baby to stick. The doc said it could be anywhere from 2-3 weeks for my AF to show up. There really was no telling. He said if I dont see AF within 4 weeks to go back to see him for some medications to start it. Im hoping I wont have to resort to that. He didnt think it would since I ovulate on my own, I should get back on track on my own.
Good thing about it all is, Nick will be home for the next try through everything that happens. Im hoping that God will bless us with mulitples for everything that we have been through. hehehehe...I hope he's reading that..LOL!
Not too much else going on. Im working on planting more flowers over the weekend. The military, every summer, gives you a voucher worth 40 bucks to get flowers from certain places. So Nick wants me to get flowers to fill up out front even more. Bu them time Im done, it will be over $100 in flowers all together ( out front and out back ) for him. I cant blame him though. I would want that many too after seeing all sand and dirt for 6 months +. So, I will be spending my weekend doing that.
Then after that, there is only 1 more weekend with out my other half. Can you believe it?
I been keeping busy. Planning and buying things for Nicks party, getting welcome home gifts for him, getting cute outfits for me to wear for him, making lists of things I need to do before he comes home, making lists of things I need and things I need for his party. ( Can you tell Im a list maker? )
Not sure if I have ever mentioned this on my blog before, but, Nick is MAJOR car nerd. He has been since, well...birth basically. He has a 2006 Scion TC that he enjoys hooking up and taking to car shows. He has it supercharged and a whole slew of other things done to it. He has been wanting it painted forever. So a friend of ours, a good friend ( he calls me his adopted daughter ) got Nick hooked up with the funds from Toyota to get it painted. He has the Azure Pearl but he wanted something different done to it. So he picked out black and we got the top half of the car painted for him, and a few other things done to it that he doesnt know about. I just got to bring the car home last week and it looks amazing. I cant post pics cuz he reads my blog. But I CANNOT wait for him to see this. Im so excited about it. The love for his car is going to be a whole new level now!
Nothing much else to really let you in on in the boring life of me. Atleast for now.
I want to thank the NW girls so much for your support. Who knew that complete strangers over the internet could be so much help.
And Tracey..Im saying prayers for you. Hang in there.
Thats all for now.

Ok, folks. I know most of you reading this dont know whats going on with me and TTCing. I have tried to keep details to nothing, but.. I was planning to do an IUI this weekend.
Well, the doc. appt. didnt go like expected. I emailed Nick and Im leaving the choice of what to do to him. I wont hear from him until tomorrow morning.
Im sorry to say that I probably wont be one of those lucky girls who concieved a sticky BFP the cycle right after a miscarraige. My body is still off track.
Today is CD 13 and with the clomid I only had 1 egg that was 10 mm. That is still very small and nowhere near ready to ovulate. I guess my body is still confused from the miscarriage.
We can either, ship the sperm back and hold it for next month. Or, I can go back to an u/s on Tuesday and see how that egg is doing and if it so happens that it will ovulate I can get the IUI. So if we send the sperm back and wait for next cycle, it will cost $159 to ship back to us then. If we wait until Tuesday we might have to pay $10 a day for having the tank longer, and possibly using the sperm.I dont know what to do. Im leaving the choice up to Nick. Im almost ready to say lets wait for next cycle until he is home and my body has more time to get back to normal. But we still have the option to possibly try next week. I trusted that god would allow to happen what was meant to happen and I guess, well, it just wasnt meant to be this month.
UPDATE**** Well, I may not be out completely this month. I think I have changed my vote and take my chances. I have an appt. for another ultrasound on Tuesday, and based on how my 1 lonely little egg is doing...then we will make a choice as to go on with the IUI or wait.

Nothing to report. I helped some good friends move over the weekend. That kicked my butt and Sunday I was feeling horribly worn out. But Im ok now.
I wasnt going to post much detail on here about our TTC again. This cycle is going to be very low key, very relaxed, very calm, very happy, and no stress. I'm not going to obsess over it, Im not going to talk about it, Im not going to post about it. Im not telling any family members details just to keep my sanity. My family reads this, so I cant post much detail on here. But I will let you all know that I have finished my fertility medication ( clomid ) for this cycle.
I also cant post a date that Nick will be home, but we are down to close to 3 weeks now. Not much longer at all. I cant wait. It's going to be crazy at first getting used to him being home again after 7 months without him. I cant wait!

Yay! This month is going! Nothing to report to you. Just wanted to mention that I feel so much better. Still blowing my nose, but its not green anymore! LOL! No sore throat either. And I can breathe through my nose again!
And, again today I saw it......... I was watching Tyra again, and I checked the time and it was 3:23. A sign? I'd like to think so still!
Speaking of...well, typing of...Im not posting details of our next cycle, since Nick and I want to keep all major details to ourselves this time, ( not counting the NW board'ers ) so we dont have to again tell all the family of anything that goes wrong. But, the cycle has begun! Nuff said.

So, I woke up randomly this morning..which I have been doing for the past week since I've been sick...and the time...3:23 a.m. Our donor number this cycle, 323. A sign? I'd like to think so.
I hate being sick. I cant breathe yet the green stuff wont stop pouring outta me. My face hurts, head hurts, nose it sore from tissues being constantly rubbed on it, no energy, sleeping 10 hours a night, no appetite but Im so hungary, eating cough drops like candy. Need I go on? I dont think so.
Both Meg and Tracey have tagged me, I promise I will get to it soon! Just not now..
UPDATE
Im sitting here eating my soup on the couch and watching The Tyra Show and I look at the time, and again...its 3:23 p.m. Hmm..a sign? I'd like to think so.

Today my Pooh Bear is 6 years old! Happy Birthday Boy!
AF is knocking on my door. I've left it open, just waiting for her walk through. She is so close!!!!!
Oh, I been sick the last few days...today I took a 2 hour nap and I had a dream about our vial of sperm in storage. I've never had a dream like that before. I mean, it was very clear. I pulled the vial out of the tank and I could see the vial with the donor numbers all over it, and the frost melting off of it and all. Then I woke up, and in a matter of 2 hours AF was here full force. Weird, huh? A sign? Yup...good old AF is here!!
My main reason for this post is for Tracey. For those who dont know, she's a blog/NW buddy who just had 2 little embryo's transfered yesterday. I am so rooting for her. She has been on this TTC journey way too long and needs her baby!
And Tammy....I'm wishing you first timers luck. Your chart just looks amazing. Those temps are great. I would say a BFP, but I am by no means a doctor..LOL!
Tara and Kim, I want to wish you girls all the STICKY baby dust in the world. We will get our beans! I know it.
Good Luck girls!
Other news, I chated with Nick last night and his homecomming date has been pushed to a date 1 week and a half earlier than expected! WHOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO! Its been way to long since I saw my own husband.

I know Nick reads my blog when he gets the chance. I havent written much about him on here lately and he probably wonders why. It's hard for me to express my feelings into words when the feelings I have are so undescribable.
I know Im going to ruin this for him...but I picked out a card today at Walmart and I cant wait for him to read what is on the card so Im going to type it on here for him to read, and then he can read it again on the card when he gets it in the mail.
I'm thinking of you today...
thinking of how much I miss you
and wish you were here with me.
I'm thinking about the closeness we share
and all the good times
we've spent together.
Of course, memories will never be
as good as having you here,
but they help me feel a little closer to you
while we're apart.
I can't imagine anything
I'd enjoy more
than being with you right now...
because everything seems more special
when I', sharing it with you.
You're so important to me,
and that's a feeling
that neither time nor distance will ever change.
When we're apart,
I realize even more
how much I appreciate you...
how happy I always am
whenever we're together.
I'm wishing you that same kind
of happiness today...
because I care so much about you.
Please remember that...
and as you go abotu your day,
please remember, too...
how very much I miss you.

Oh, and I found a dress! I saw it Kolh's those few days ago when I was there. I tried it on and it fit me perfect. But I didnt want to pay 30 bucks for it, being the thrifty person that I am. Later that night was our "date" chat night on messenger so I went to Kolhs website and found it and sent him the link. He said to buy it now. So I went back and the only dress that was in my size was still there. I guess it was meant to be mine.

I love that store.
I quit doing my temps. I am tired of the ups and downs, of waking up at 5 am, and wondering if I O'ed, or if it's AF on the way. So I quit. When AF shows, I will temp again like I did last cycle.
Tomorrow is my Pooh Bear's 6th birthday. I cant believe is going to be 6 years old already. He not just a cat to me, I love him so much and couldnt imagine a house a home without him.

I cant believe it's May 1st. Only 4 weeks until I can say Nick will be home this month. I CANNOT wait. I cant even describe how great that is.
Not much to post. Just wanted to say I went to 3 places before I found Goodbye Cellulight. First I went to Walmart, then Food Lion and then Rite Aid. Ugh..but I got it and Im going to start applying it tonight. Directions say apply 1-2 times a day. Here's to hopeing that it works.
Here is a link about the stuff. It was The Tyra Show yesterday..It shows the women that used it for 4 weeks.
http://tyrashow.warnerbros.com/nivea/goodbyecellulite.html
I also went to Kohls hopeing to find a dress to wear for when I go pick up Nick but nothing once again. I did find a cute skirt for 7 bucks that I might wear.
Oh and I wanted to tell you..Walmart has a website that you can go to to sign up for 100% free samples of various stuff. I go on there regularly and sign up for things. They change the items you can get atleast weekly, if not more. So far I have gotten so many things. I highly recommend checking it out.
Here is the site...http://walmart.triaddigital.com/Free-Samples.aspx
I been getting free stuff for weeks now, and JUST today, I got free toothpaste, Olay facial creme, and a 6 oz bag of Cat Chow which is the food that I buy for the cats anyway, and a baby bib. So check it out.
