Don't Worry...Be Happy

"Happy" Mother's day. Yeah, not so much.....What an oxymoron for those of us here in lossville.

I know, I am behind on this subject. But in between work, classes, studying and TTC a women gets no time to reflect.

So my Mother's day was filled tears and memories. My husband and I talked a lot of "she would've beens...."- She would have been 7 1/2 months now, she would have been rolling over, she would have loved her back yard, she would have been trying real foods, she would have been so spoiled, she would have been so wonderful to wake up to this morning.

We are in our 3rd month of TTC and so far no go. Which I know is hardly any time at all , but it has me concerned none the less given that I can pretty much pinpoint my exact time of ovulation with OPK and cervix position. This method proved accurate when trying and getting pregnant the 1st go with Makenzie.
I am contemplating going to get my hormone levels checked by the Doc. Or even going to the Endocrinologist to recheck my thyroid level that was 4.5 in Febuary. That was up a full point from January. Hell, at that rate, there is no telling where it might be today.
Dh, of course, thinks I am being silly and we just need to be having more sex. Always his answer to any lingering health issues. Boys.

At this point, I am not sure to worry or not.

How long have most of you been trying and/or how long did it take to conceive? When should I start questioning something possibly being wrong?

Our Little Man

Say Hello to our "bu-drow". He is our spoiled perfect "little man". His given name- Oakley. He is our pride and joy. And as you can tell, has to be up on us 24/7. He is part greyhound , part golden which makes him fast and happy. We decided to get Oakley at another dark time in our lives 6 yrs ago. Everyday since has been filled with his affection and good lick-licks.

When I was pregnant with Makenzie I heard numerous stories how couples no longer babied or catered to there pets. I was so worried we would do this to him - it made we cry on several occasions. Call it hormones if you will but this did cause much concern. I guess for now-my fears are unfounded. And he is still our "baby".
