Life happens

So, I had said I would not go weeks without blogging, and here I have failed. I want this journal to be a guide and look back on our journey of infertility, as well as for a way for family and friends to keep up with what is going on. Sadly, nothing much is going on right now.

We celebrated Tim's dads retirement on Thursday with a whole bunch of his co-workers at a restaurant in Maddison. It was a nice time, and his dad was really glad that his kids were there to support him. On the way home I felt sick, and just got worse as the night went on. By midway through the night I was in horrible condition. I called out of work and was really sick, fever, throwing up, the whole nine yards. I had a doctor's appointment that day anyway, so it worked out well. I went to see my general doctor, Doctor T, and he said it was food poisoning or a bug, he wasnt sure which one, as they both have the same symptoms. He wants a ultrasound of my spleen, but he gave me some meds to take away the nauseau and he also gave me a clean bill of health in general and said to go ahead and have a baby! He was pleased with my weight loss and said that it is much more healthy for me to have a baby now. It makes me so happy that all of my doctors are on board with getting pregnant now. I have lost 40 pounds and they are all happy and supportive and it makes me happy.

My husband has been away at a LAN party with his friends this weekend and I have had some great me time. I shopped all day yesterday, and bought a lot! The only bad thing about losing so much weight is that none of my clothes fit anymore! So I needed some new ones. I bought a few things for the beach house as well. Just 3 more weeks and we will be enjoying a wonderful week away. I can not wait!

Not much going on in baby news. I am just waiting for my period to come in June, and then we will begin the cycle. I am so happy, but at the same time so scared that it will not work. I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but boy do I want to be pregnant next month. I would love to tell my husband at his 40th birthday party that he is going to be a dad! His party is mid July, and I should be able to test right before it!

We are off to look at an open house today. After finding the home of our dreams last weekend I a not so excited to go house looking anymore. Sadly, we just can not afford that house, it is about 70K more than we wanted to pay. But I sure did love it!
