"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

It Says His Wish Is My Command.....

Well this is the final month..if nothing happens then I'm taking a break form all the meds...i cant take the hot flashes and mood swings anymore for a bit. My sister in law brought me this buda statue back from Hawaii and just gave it to me on Sunday so now he sits in my kitchen all though he probably should be in the bedroom lol, anyways I'm on and doing so many things this time around so that there is nothing i can leave out, so if you dont mind hearing all the kinda sick info then read on and i know this may help some people out with trying as well, this is what i have been doing for the past 3 months (we have been trying for 19 months now but this is the meds i have been on for 3 months)...I started Clomid in November 50mgs and did nothing else...December i did 100mg Clomid and OPK'S which i did get positives back so i know the clomid did what it was suppose to do but still nothing....so January/Feb im taking my last script of Clomid 100mgs with aspirin 81mg everyday (this helps my blood flow so i get more to my ovary's and it helps implant the egg into the lining of the uterus and gets rid of blood clots and helps prevent miscarriage), 2Tbs Robitussin 3 times per day (this helps thin the harsh Cervical Mucus so the sperm can swim through it and it will carry them to the tubes with out killing them), Temp Charting in the mornings first thing, OPK'S (Ovulation Predictor Kits) starting CD 10 until positive surge, Prenatals everyday, the drink called Seven (thanks to jeff and rayni), Pre-Seed which i have to insert on my fertile days (sorry i know TMI), i got nick these pills called fertile aid, which is suppose to up the sperm count and mobility and all that great stuff (im just making him take those not for any reason in particular just cause it cant hurt), and now im rubbing my Fertility God Statue...so there you have it, iam a really busy person and im not stressing about it this month im actually really calm and really dont care anymore so if it works SWEET and if not then im taking a break and will continue in a few months with different options! thanks for all your prayers and wishes! BABY DUST TO ME!

My new year resolution....



Who ever thought this tiny little pill could be such a kicker...not me....these little guys put you through some MAJOR hot flashes like i have never experienced before, and its not just once or twice a day, its about every 20 to 30 minutes day and night for about 2 weeks...yuck, then when it finally goes away after about 5 to 10 min you get freezing cold and by that time you start all over again. I desperately don't want to take them again, two rounds was bad enough, knowing whats going to happen is not fun...but what do you do. I have to keep telling myself "it will all be worth it" but its still so hard. We have been trying to get prego for 18 months i believe now and seriously I'm done with it all so we finally decide to just try these little pills but now I'm not sure if i can do it again. This month i doubled my dose so yes the hot and cold flashes were twice as bad but if it works i will have no complaints...i did all the charting and testing this month and they were positive that the pill did its job so now it up to my body to do the rest so our fingers are crossed so everyone cross your fingers for me!
So this new year my resolution is GET FREAKING PREGNANT LADY!
so all your prayers and thoughts i welcome. 8)

Bath Time Fun.....

I had to share these...kaylin was being so silly in the tub..he was trying to be "HoHo"....and now he calls it his "bobul" (bubble) face pictures!!!


good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
