Sometimes its nice...

To have a walk in a park.. That's what I'm comparing this cycle too.. Was definitely low key, because  unless you were Danny, the Doctors Office, and my Mother in law ( danny let it slip, but thats ok she doesn't pester!) you didn't know.. yeah I didn't tell ANYONE.. I wanted to, but it was for the better as much as I love my family and friends.. they pester and keep asking questions, which is just added stress. The cycle went so smooth and stress free.. for the most part.. Been a bumpy month money wise of course but when is it not? Next thing I knew I was triggering and then going in this morning at 930 am for the IUI.

 Thats where we hit the glitch.. lol, Danny went and gave his sample at 730am, then we went for breakfast and grabbed a couple of things and went back. So we wait... and wait.. oh its gonna be about 30 more min.. insert panic. So we just sit there.. 10 rolls around.. Jodi comes out and tells me everything will be fine, there is a 4 hr window.. so I was like ok and felt a little better!  We didn't go back till almost 1030 and then about 10 min later we had the IUI. It went smooth, we talked with Jodi for a few min and then laid there for another 15. I gave my Follistim back I have 2 300 vials from our IVF, frankly I don't think it worked well for me unless I have Menopur to go with it.. and I don't like it cause it burns!! So I got Crinone in return ;) since all mine expired in March UGH!  So thankful I love that office :)

Anyways.. Now onto the 2ww.. feeling a little crampy this time around.. we had 18.8 million swimmers by the way :).  Always on the way home I feel nauseous its weird. not sure how the wait is gonna go.. hopefully fast. We're both praying hard that this works, like for real.. I wanna be buying baby furniture and doing a nursery after we come back from Disney.. like for real I don't care if I'm preggo at Disney. You can still have fun!  We seriously.. just want one baby now.. the road we have traveled has not been easy and all we could ever ask for now is just one baby to give our unconditional love, if another one came after that.. it would be just as much a blessing.

It was nice to have a day off kinda straightened up the house and catching up on shows and whatnot. Not much else has been going on around here besides getting the garden planted, and working on the patio in back and planting some flowers up front. Just chugging along, its getting hotter and the days are getting longer.. we have our first wildfire of the season.. stupid wind and dry weather! Hoping they get it contained soon, its not near here but it still affects us and our air quality yuck.

Think thats about it.. Monday our only day off together is going to be super busy.. Yikes. Hopefully productive busy.

So uhh...

Remember when I said we wanted to do a couple more IUIs before actually moving onto Adoption process of some sort. The months just kinda ticked by and I really didn't think it would actually happen. Well me and Danny were talking wed night...brain running 90 miles per hr... we decided to just do it.. Aunt Flo was due in a few days, so the next morning I called and said I'd call when I start etc.  Well.. Guess who had an exactly 32 day period!? ME.. Like holy crap!  Um... never happens!

Sooo CD 3 u/s will be on Sunday, got my meds.. here I was expecting to spend 145 dollars for some little pills... (we're doing Letrozole again) I get the voice mail from the pharmacy  listen to it and it tells me the total.. I was like oi here we go.. it was only 12.42.. I'm like that is not my prescription.. Just then Lisa who works in the Pharmacy says you have to kiss Dawn and give her a hug, she found a discount for it. I was soooo shocked! It totally made my day! Been having a shitty PMSy week. So Pretty excited about that :)

Thats it fow now.. gotta work at 7 am tomorrow.. Boo.

Getting Crafty around here!

I have SO many ideas floating around in my head... not just crafty things but organization things..I think i'll do a bullet post because.. its just one of those things LOL

~I found fabric.. like pretty canvas fabric to make some Pillows and an ottoman for Danny's feet so they don't rest on my coffee table all the time!!

~I'm going to have Kae make some curtains to cover up the skylights so all my new bathroom stuff doesn't get bleached and then for the kitchen to keep the heat out :)! I still want some light for the spare bathroom, but not that harsh! Because of my Orchid in there! Plus.. I'm not this talented while sewing hahah.

~I have been told to make either a pillow case or t-shirt dress for Courtney's little girl due in Sept :) need to make Chloe some too!

~I want metal coated baskets for my chest freezer... I'm tired of digging thru everything. I rather pull out baskets!

~I want baskets for our cabinets to organize junk...

~I need a storage thing for my canning jars.. they are taking up SO much room in my tupperware cabinet.

~I want to take the humongous cabinets above my washer and dryer  out and then put 1 cabinet and then a self.. but I think this will have to wait till we get  a garage.

Can you tell i've been searching pinterest LOL people have some good ideas out there.. just wish I could think of them!!

In othere news.. I feel like we just on repeat.. just not going anywhere but not going backwards.. UGH. Frustrating I tell you. I just wish stuff like this wasn't so expensive and have to make everything look decent just to bring home a baby. I'm pretty sure we are not the only couple in a holding pattern. Right? Ugh.. we probably are.. I seriously wish money grew on trees! Even if it was 500 dollars every 2 months.. LOL

Well off to get ready for work. Boo.
