We are half way through the 2 week wait!!

It has been so long since I have updated. Life has been very busy these past few weeks. We had our IUI on 03/24/09 so that means that today we are half way through the 2 week wait. I know that it is hard on Rebekah to wait and I knew that it would be hard on me but I never dreamed that it would make me so nervous, anxious, excited and worried all in one. I could not ask for a better friend/surro mom than Rebekah, she has really helped me through these last few weeks. I was talking to my friend Danielle last night and just gave her the web address for mine and Rebekah's blogs so that she can get caught up on what has been going on. Life has been so busy that I have not had time to update anybody.

I go back to the Dr on Thursday at 2:30 to see if the cyst on my ovary has gone down or if they will have to go in and remove it. I am really praying that the meds the Dr put me on will make it shrink!!

John and Johnny have been doing great, besides the stomach virus that Johnny had last week. I have to admit hear lately every time I think about Johnny being 3 in July my eyes really start to tear up. WOW can he really already be almost 3? Where the heck has time gone? It just seems like last week we were in California and now he is almost 3. Well that is all that I have to update for now. As soon as we get some more news I will post again. (note to self: you have got to blog more often.)

What a great weekend and a monday full of updates

WOW what an amazing weekend we had. Saturday Rebekah, Kent, Johnny and I all went to the zoo and we has an amazing time!

Johnny telling me the snakes were going to bite me.


The Whole group.



Every time that we all get together I feel so blessed that we all live near each other. We had a great time at the zoo and I am not who was more tired the boys or Rebekah and I. After leaving there I took Rebekah and Kent back to there car and went home. Saturday night we went to my Sister in Laws house for my nieces 13th birthday (wow I cant believe that she is already 13). We left there around 9:00pm went home did a little house work and then it was off to bed for us. Sunday we woke up and just hung out around the house most of the day. Sunday afternoon we went to dinner with some friends of ours and then got ready for the work week. The weather this weekend was amazing!!

Here is the exciting news........ Rebekah sent me a instant message today to let me know that AF was here and that our first appt with Dr H would be this Wednesday at 9:15. YAY YAY YAY!!!! I am so excited with that being said our IUI should be on the 23rd. WOW less than two weeks!!! I know that these 2 weeks are going to go by so fast since Rebekah and I have a spa day planned for Saturday and then the big kids consignment sale is next week. I will keep everyone posted on what is going on!!

YAY for March

WOW can it really be March already?!? Not a lot has been going on since my last post. We are still working on getting the date for our IUI but now it looks like it will be sometime around March 20th. When we were talking with Rebekah about doing our first IUI in March it seemed like so far away. But let me tell you that Feb. flew by and now we are in March and we are all so excited. Rebekah told me this morning that she ordered some Home Preg. test and It seems like a dream that one day soon we will be able to use those. I found a great blog on SMO that has given me lots of information and hope about being able to induce Lactation with no meds just herbs. So as soon as we get the positive Home preg. test I will be starting that.

We had some snow this weekend and I was very hopeful that it would be enough for Johnny to go out and play in. It was very pretty to watch but was melting as soon as it hit the ground. Some areas in Ga got 4" of snow. Oh well maybe next year. Johnny was watching it yesterday and was excited and confused at the same time. It snowed here last year and we all went out and played in it but he does not remember that.

Well that's all for now I am sure that I am forgetting something. I will update later with more information.

Contract signing and a Thank You to Rebekah.

Well we are going on Saturday at 11:00am to sign our contract!!! YAY YAY and YAY!!! We have all the changes made to it now it is just time to go to that attn's office and sign the papers. Rebekah will be charting the rest of this month and in March and we are going to do our first IUI in April!! I am so excited and I thought that time was going to go by so slow between now and April but time is really going by pretty fast. I am sure that there will be slow days but all in all it seems to be going by quickly.

On Monday I was having a bad day and was really just down with work. I was talking to Rebekah through instant messenger (like we do everyday) about flowers, so yesterday I got a delivery of the most beautiful Tulips that I have ever seen!! I am posting a few pictures of them. Rebekah is the best TS that we could ask for not only does she make a great TS but she is so easy to talk to we have had a few little bumps in the road on the way to getting the contract done but I can look back now and see that they were so Small compared to other stories that I have heard of. I think that it has been so easy because we have a great bond with Rebekah and we can talk through anything. Thanks so much Rebekah for being yourself and being there to cheer me up when I need it. Big hugs to you!!

I will continue to keep everyone posted although there will not be to much to update on till April.

Rebekah Got a Smiley!!

WOW a lot has happened since I last blogged. I have to start by saying that Rebekah is the BEST with planning and keeping us informed!! We have such a great connection with her and truly do love her. that being said she was stressing out the last few days about the OPK's and I tried to reassure her and let her know that we are here for her no matter what. Well on Saturday I got a text msg from her with a picture that looked like it came from a bathroom stall of the OPK with a big smiley face on it. YAY YAY!!! I immediately called her and she told me that she was at the movies and had just got her positive OPK!!! We are till far away from the April IUI but with each milestone it is feeling so close and I am really get more excited (if that is possible)!! Here is the pictures of her OPK's for this month.




We are waiting to hear back from Lynn our attn. and are thinking that we will be able to go down to her office on Saturday and sign the contract!!! That is one BIG step that I am ready to check off my to-do list. After the signing we are all going to go out and Celebrate!! Kenneth (Rebekah's husband) is going out of town in a few weeks for his weekend drill (not sure if that is what it is called) but Rebekah and I are hoping to take the boys away that weekend to do something fun and I have to say that I am really excited for Rebekah and I to be able to spend that time together.

Well that is all for now I will post more as I have updated. I feel like I am leaving something out, I am sure that I will think about it and when i do I will update my blog.

Almost ready to sign.....

A lot has gone on since my last posting. We got all the Short Term Dis. info and Rebekah sent in her application last week. We are now waiting to hear back from the agent to see what else is going to have to take place so that the policy can be started. We got the first copy of the contract the end of last week and have been working really hard the last couple of days so that we can get in all the details that we want before sending it over to Lynn for her to proof read and then get us down to her office to sign. We are hoping to get down there in the next few weeks to get the contract signed and then get ready for our IUI in April (although we have started to prepare for that already.)

Last weekend we went to the Mtns with some friends of ours to go snow tubing. It was so much fun. I was very tired when we got back home because we were up past midnight both Friday night and Saturday night. We did have a great time but I missed talking to Rebekah, she sent me a text msg. on her way back home and I had just got done sending her an email when I got her text. Great minds think alike. We are trying to plan a trip to the mtns for the end of this month. I think it would be so much fun to get both of our families together for a weekend in the mtns.
