Questions, No Answers

"Mrs. McMichael, this is Nurse Nancy at the OB-GYN. I have your test results. Your progesterone level was 13.1 which is a little low. And your beta was 0.5.......so you are not pregnant. Your doctor will call you later to discuss what you need to do next. I'm sorry..."

Why is this happening to me? What have I done to deserve this? Why is it that people get pregnant all the time on ACCIDENT and I can't even get pregnant on fertility drugs??? I thought this was supposed to be easy. I thought I could have a baby when I decided I wanted one. I thought it was rare for people to not get pregnant the first few tries on their own. What did I do wrong? Why didn't it work like it was supposed to? Why Why WHY!!!!!!

When will I wake up from this nightmare?

Because everybody's doing it!

Why can I NOT stop thinking about food all day and night? And I'm not just thinking about food, I'm eating it! Non-stop. No wonder one of the side effects of Clomid is weight gain! I can't stop eating!!

Bloodwork tomorrow. I wonder if cd21 is too soon to check my beta level....

Back home

Can I just say that I LOVE three day weekends? Love them! Brad and I left for the beach Friday after work. We ate and ate and ate allllll weekend. And even though we thought it was going to rain all weekend, it only rained early Saturday morning. So we actually got to go lay out at the beach! I read an entire book in one day! I'm not a big reader, so that's a big deal. And I highly recommend the book, Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy. It's fabulous.

I fully intended on taking tons of pictures this weekend, but whenever the mood struck me to take some, my camera never seemed to be around. Oh well, there's always next time!

I go to the doctor Friday (cd21) for some more bloodwork to make sure I ovulated. But I'm 99% sure I did because I've been charting my bbt. In fact, I'm pretty sure I ovulated Friday. But I'll let you know what they say, either way!

Happy One Year Anniversary to US!

Has it really been a whole year since we said "I Do!"? I can't believe it. I guess time really does fly when you are having fun!

To my husband:

I love you SO MUCH. I don't know where I'd be without you. You make me a better person. You are my soul mate and my better half. Nothing makes me feel more loved than when you wrap your arms around me. I can't wait to see what God has in store for the rest of our lives. Happy Anniversary babe! I LOOOOOOVE YOU!!

Griffin's Kindergarten Graduation

My oldest nephew graduated Kindergarten this morning! He was the cutest one up there, if I do say so myself. I feel so old. It seems like just last week I was holding one of April's legs as she was pushing...and I almost hit the floor! Memories....... He looked like a little grown up in his tie and vest. It made me so sad! He is growing up so fast! Ok, I'll quit whining and show the pictures!

Griffin right after he received his diploma


His entire class (And btw, the graduation was at Valley View-so that's my church in the background!)


Isn't he the cutest Kindergarten graduate you ever saw?!?


Josh, Griffin and April

Griffin and I

We are off to Gulf Shores as soon as we get off work this afternoon. I can't WAIT!!!!! Even though it's going to be raining the ENTIRE WEEKEND, I don't care as long as I can eat Sea-n-Suds at least once a day!! And our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY is Sunday!! Yay for us!

Bad dog

Want to know what happens when you leave a bag of Bunco garbage sitting on the kitchen floor while you go to church? If Bella is home, this is what happens...



My beautiful WHITE dog turned into my not-so-beautiful white and RED dog after she ate left over Jello desserts. This is her oh-crap-I-can't-hide-the-evidence face...

I really wish I had a video camera recording her as she tore open the garbage bag. And then when she realized what a mess she made! I guess we learned our lesson about leaving trash out!
