Discouraging...

Its day 22 today. Still no positive test. It's nerve-racking..Tomorrow I go for blood work. Day 23 bloodwork apparently LOL. She wanted day 22 but that's today and the lab is closed. I really don't know what she is checking in my blood work but I'm sure they will let me know if they find something we need to discuss.
What if I'm really not ovulating. I know that the only true way to tell if I am ovulating is to temp. But temping is hard for me because I don't get up at the same time everyday..I donno.
The other day Hayley announced that she would like a baby brother or sister. It was so sweet but yet so sad. I know she wants a sibling...She has never been quiet about it. Shes already 10...and yet she still wants that little sibling to play with. Its adorable. Sad too, because we've been trying for so long to have a baby.
I have to go for more labwork on day 3 of my next cycle. I don't know what she is checking then either. I guess I should have paid more attention at my appointment. Opps.
I've hit a wall. I'll be back in a little bit!

Day 18..

Still negative but thats the darkest one yet..maybe soon...

Day 14?

I guess is what today is. The pic is my first 3 ovulation predictor tests. All negative right? I really dont know but ill keep testing until like the end of the week..maybe the 15th. *sigh* this getting pregnant stuff is hard work LOL

Ouch!

Today I saw my doctor for a follow up on my carpel tunnel. He suggested an injection in the wrist to help with the pain. Okay, I say, even though I'm a big baby were needles and pain is concerned. I did ask if it would hurt and he said yes it would burn. Great...
So he comes in and does the injection and instantly it burns and my entire hand goes numb! Not normal according to him. But once the lidocaine in the injection wore off all I was left with was intense wrist pain! So thats where I am at now. Trying to type this so no one thinks I fell off the planet.
Be back when I can type again!

Spring Break

Its weird to be thinking about Spring Break already! But I'm ready. This year we are hoping to have a true adventure! 18+ hours in the car with a 10 year old? Yup adventurers we are!
So where are we hopefully headed? The great state of Florida.  Hayley and Scott have never been so we are hoping to go visit with a good friend of mine and her fiance. Hopefully we can save enough money to go to Sea World or Disney...That would be awesome!!!
I'm so excited!!!!

The Flu...

And bronchitis. That's whats going around my house right now. I have so far been able to stay health but I'm not going to hold my breath! Everyone else has been miserable..some going on 2 weeks now. This is NOT fun! I hope everyone gets better soon! It's no fun taking care of a bunch of sickies...
Hayleys been on antibotics for 3 days now and she is starting to feel a little better but her cough is still pretty nasty. Scott on the other hand he just had the flu. Not really much coughing though. He's been sick for 2 weeks now and is still miserable. =(
I hope everyone out there is staying healthy!
