Fertility Schmertility...


       I figured I'd actually do an update on what's going on with me, instead of just ranting and raving about my little Bear! 
    
       So, I got blood work done last friday. I also got a surprise visit from aunt flow. So after a few painful days, full of comments like "Oh Mylanta!" "Is this normal?", and the always appropriate, "I'm bleeding like a stuck pig." (My brother LOVED hearing that one! haha) I got my results back on the blood taken, and ohh happy day!! I'm no longer considered post menopausal! HUZZAH! I'm actually in the follicular phase!! Which is great news! Lord willing, and the creek don't rise... I should actually ovulate this month! Which means, by the new year, there is a slim but much better, chance of me being knocked up! So, Drew and I are going to continue our nightly tradition of praying for my Ute (aka uterus) that we will conceive! YAY 
      So back to my little Bear... D.W. met her last night, and like the rest of us, fell in love! She is such a sweet little one! So I leave you with a extremely HOT photo of my husband!

Busy Busy Busy

I will do a real update one of these days.. I meet with the doctor this thursday, hopefully I will have test results next week, and then will know if the clomid even works for me..... But first I have to work (alternating between my so-called regular shift, and my supervisor's shift), clean my house, do laundry, shrink wrap all my windows, meet with the bank, go to the dentist, go to Drew's work christmas party...  all while anxiously awaiting the arrival of the newest Boys' family member! Did I mention my weekend was full up with first aid training? Or that I have been rushed and busy for the past month and a half? Christmas is only 23 sleeps away, and I am SO not ready for it. My tree is up.. lights have only been on once! That is how little time I have at home these days! Welp, I'm off to clean up the kitchen, and get the bills filed, then to bed! HURRAY!
