5 DPIUI...

and I'm going nutty... All I can think about is "Am I pregnant?, Did the IUI work? Will I be having a baby in 9 months?" Aack! My brain hurts from thinking too much. I am still very hopeful about this cycle. Let me back up a little bit.. I had an IUI done on Saturday the 7th. Last night I did my second HCG shot. On the 24th, we go in for the pregnancy test! I cannot wait to find out what is going on in my uterus! *Fingers crossed for a + hpt*

In other news, our offer on the perfect house was rejected.. Boo. We are going to send in a counter offer and hope for the best. I REALLY want that house!! I want to bring our baby home to that house and watch our kids grow up there. So, tonight we are going to sign the papers. Wish us luck!

So, our cat has been making us crazy! LOL. he sit right in front of the TV and just look at us. It is as if he is mocking us! He sits there so that we cannot see the TV. Granted, the TV is bigger than him but he is not see through and it's just annoying! haha.

Well, that is all tonight. Hope everyone has a great rest of the week and a great weekend! Happy Valentines Day!!

Woohoo!

So, I went to the RE this AM and to my suprise there were 2 HUGE follies in my left ovary!!! They measured 19.2 and 19.4 mm! That is soooo awesome! So it look like I will be Oing the end of this week! We go in tomorrow for a post-coital test and for the doc to give me the HCG shot. I am soo happy! Here's hoping this will be our cycle..

That is all for now. Hope everyone has a great evening!!

What a Weekend!!

So, there is a lot to talk about! Friday was the HSG and it went well. The Radiologist said my tubes are all clear! So, that is pretty awesome. It was a little painful but not nearly as bad as I was imagining.. The nurse was really sweet and held my hand as she talked me through the procedure. Wednesday I go in for the 1st follie check. I will only be on CD 13 so I am not sure they will see much. We can home, though.. =)

On to the BIG news!!!! We have found THE house! We were out house hunting yesterday and this was the 3rd of 5 houses that we saw. We fell in love immediately!! It's a 4/3 with a pool, updated kitchen and bathrooms. DH and I LOVE this house. The fact that it is totally move in ready is awesome! It is also in a really great neighborhood and the schools are top notch! So, DH and I put in an offer yesterday. The waiting game begins.... Wish us luck! I am sooooo excited, nervous, scared, happy all at once. I am praying we hear from the real estate lady soon with good news. Of course I will update us as soon as we know anything.

Lots of exciting things going on... Now I just need to get pregnant! LOL. Hope everyone had a great weekend and a great Monday. Talk at you all later!

House Hunting and baby making...

So, lots of stuff has been going on this week so I thought I'd update my readers. Last weekend we went out with our realtor and saw 6 more houses. We found two that we really liked. The only problem was in house #1, the garage did not have an entrance into the house and house #2 had no patio, no updated kitchen and the yard was small... Boo. We were thinking about overlooking those things but after much consideration, we decided we did not want to just "settle" for a house. As my MIL says, the house has to grab you and you have to LOVE it. So it is off to see more houses this weekend. There is one really nice one that I am look foreword to seeing. There is one problem, it's a short sale. That means the owner asked the bank if they could sell it for less than they owed and the bank said yes. So, when the potential buyer puts in an offer it could take up to 6 months to find out if the bank accepts the offer. We'll see what happens.

In baby-making news, I started my Clomid a few days ago. I am starting to get the hot flashes. LOL. I feel like an old lady. haha. Tomorrow I go to my RE so I can get all my paperwork and antibiotics to get ready for my HSG on Friday. I am sooo nervous about the HSG. I am hoping it does not hurt and that they don't find anything too terrible. I am trying to keep in mind that this will up our chances to 40%... G-d please let this be our cycle! I am also hoping it works this time so that I do not have to start injectables. I am not a fan of giving myself shots..

It has been a busy week at work too. I worked overtime yesterday to make a little extra money. I am exhausted! Those patients were running me ragged! LOL.. I am trying to find a more permanent position. This is not as easy as I thought it would be. What happened to the nursing shortage? I thought an experienced RN was a hot commodity. Oh well, my search continues..

Hope everyone is having a great week. I'll let you know how the HSG goes. Talk at you all later!! Thanks for reading this far!

I'm a bad, bad blogger...

Forgive me readers, for I have sinned. It has been 10 days since my last post. Lots going on to update you all on. We had our 2 year anniversary on Wednesday the 14Th and the next morning we flew to Philadelphia to visit family. It was wonderful! On the 16Th I met my BFPB! She is awesome! We had a lot of fun and I was so excited to finally meet her in person. She is as nice and sweet as I had imagined she would be. I hope we can get together again sometime. We flew home on the 19Th. =(

So, we officially have a new President. I was watching the inauguration yesterday and was in awe of the fact that I was watching history in the making. That is soooo cool!! I will have to remember to tell my kids where I was and how I felt to see the first African-American President be sworn into office!!

I went to the RE yesterday too. Another BFN as I had anticipated. I haven't been getting any symptoms so I wasn't totally shocked. The doc wants to try Clomid one more time and if that doesn't work he was talking about starting Injectables! Yikes! I also have to have an HSG as I mentioned in earlier posts. It looks like it will be late next week sometime.. I'm nervous. The good thing is they say that my chances of getting pregnant during the cycle of the HSG go up to 40%. So, that is pretty cool. I am trying to stay optimistic and continue to stay positive. I have to admit, though, it's getting harder. I am not losing hope yet but those obnoxious thoughts invade my brain every now and then. "When is it going to happen? Will it happen? I can get pregnant but can I STAY pregnant long enough to have a healthy baby?" and so on. I try to push those thoughts aside and think happy thoughts.

So, that is all for tonight. Hope everyone is having a good week. Happy Hump Day!!

Adventures in House Hunting

So, I promised I would update you all on how our house hunting went. We saw 5 houses.. The first one was a dump (that's putting it nicely). It had an ILLEGAL efficiency where the garage should be and a lot of water damage everywhere. The kitchen was all torn out. Lovely. House #2 There were renters living there and they slammed the door in our faces. House #3 had another illegal efficiency and was the second house in from a busy street. It was decent and with a little TLC could be a very nice house. DH didn't like the noisy street being right there. House #4 was incredible!!!! It was almost too perfect. The house looked like a model. The only problem is we are not quite ready to make an offer and by the time we got home and the real estate lady's housband (who is a mortgage broker) called us to tell us we were pre approved there were already 2 offers for house #4. House #5 had a drifter living in it. He wasn't there when we got there but all of his stuff was and there was a car in the driveway. How do we know he's a drifter? Well, the house is bank owned and the front door had been broken into. All in all we had fun. It was quite an eye-opening experience!! LOL. So, we have 10 more houses we are interested in seeing. I am sooo happy that we are pre-approved for the amount we thought we would get! Woohoo!!!

Next weekend we will be in Pennsylvania. No house hunting until the following weekend.. So, I hope everyone is enjoying your weekend!

Happy Friday!

Not much going on around here.. Tomorrow DH and I are going out to look at houses! I am so excited!! DH sent 10 listings to the real estate lady so we will be very busy.. We have been looking online for a while and I am glad were moving forward and actually going to look at the inside in person. I have figured out that I am addicted to HGTV! I love watching all the house hunting and decorating shows.. It's wild. I never used to watch that channel and now I just cannot get enough!! LOL. I watched it ALL DAY LONG today! haha

6 more days until we go to Pennsylvania!! I cannot wait to see my SIL, BIL and my nieces! I will also get to see a couple of my friends Laney and Mary! Woohoo! I love going up north during winter. Here in South Florida we do not get much of a winter. The coldest it gets is like 45 overnight! My friends think I am nutty but I love the cool crisp air and playing in the snow with "my girls". I even bought some cute winter wear to take up there.. I must say, it is hard to find Winter clothes in Florida. hehe.

In TTC news, I took the other half of my HCG shot this morning. We are supposed to go for a pregnancy test on 1/19 except we will not be in town. I will be testing with a HPT that weekend and then going in for the confirmation on 1/20.. I am nervous. I have not had any symptoms yet but I am thinking it is probably still a little too early.. I am only 6 dpo today. I am starting to feel a little emotional but that does not mean much..

Well, that is all for today. I will update this weekend on how the house hunt went. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!
