"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".

Lost Milestones
DH and I officially spent our Easter weekend as "shut ins"-
Why does the weather have to turn colder after teasing me with 80 degree springtime Dlite? Just when I was getting used to evenings in the hammock, with a cool drink in hand ,watching my husband slave in the yard.
Seriously, I haven't been that lazy all together, I have been getting on my road bike or taking a jog through the neighborhood as often as I can.
I missed Makenzie dearly over the Easter holidays. I had images conjured up of her in a pastel Easter dress with a barrette in that thick hair, staring bright eyed at the older kids as they scatter and cheer in the park, searching for brightly colored eggs. I always envision the smiles DH and I would have at those moments , watching her expressions as she experienced something new and profound. Lost Milestones

Rocky Mountain High In Colorado
Holy Cow.....has it really been Feb. since I last posted? Where did March go?
DH and I are doing well. We took a long overdue vacation to the beautiful state of Colorado. Talk about a whirlwind tour. We started out in Frisco Mtn. skiing with our old and new friends from Up With People. The weather was in the high 60's -which made for perfect sightseeing but the skiing was less than desirable. So we drank. We went into Breckenridge and had the most wonderfully romantic dinner, followed by a 2 hr. wait in the crepe line at Crepe a la Cart's. A must try!!! After leaving Frisco we headed into Denver for 4 days and spent some ALONE time. We took a day and headed to Boulder, Estes Park and Rocky Mtn. National Park. Then on to Colorado Springs for some more sites and to hang with an old friend. All-in-all it was a much needed break for the both of us.
Question of the week: Have you two been thinking about trying yet?
Answer: Yes, as of March 1st, DH and I are officially trying again.
It seems to be the question of the week. I must have been asked about 5 times out of the blue. NO PRESSURE , huh?
On a sad note, I received an email while on vacation that our friends had miscarried. I had the chance to speak with her the other night and she is having a hard time dealing. It was early on in the pregnancy but tragic none the less.
Anyways-just wanted to jot some thoughts-promise to not wait so long to post again.

Take my Breath Away
Just a quick "check in"....I made it through the procedure fairly unscathed-if you don't consider the enormous black and blue mark at my groin area.
The Dr. said "everything went better than expected" and they were able to find the origin quickly. I was slightly pissed myself when they woke me from a deep sleep and said "hold your breath", after trying this several times and only able to sustain a breath hold for about 15 sec. (completely discombobulated)I became very frustrated. It did not make for a good mood the rest of my hospital stay. Poor mom and hubby had to bare the brunt.
Being brought to on the table with oxygen mask in place and having the feeling of sufficating myself sucked. Was so hoping for the nice and stoned after experience. Oh well.
I have been so slammed since the surgery that I haven't had the time to write here. Thanks Rosepetal for your concern. I figured I would be a little out of it for a couple days following the procedure, but oddly enough I was bored by 9AM the following morning and started making calls for work and planning lunch with friends.I haven't stopped since.
I will be back possibly Monday to record some recent thoughts. Till then.................

Happy belated Valentines Day
Good morning,
I finally got my long awaited sushi fix last night. YUMMIE. Dh took me to our favorite place for sushi and I was stuffin it in like Kobayashi. Just could not get enough.
I have been up since 4AM EST getting ready(AKA worrying) for my procedure today. I got about 5 1/2 hrs of sleep, which isn't bad, all things considered. I explained to the Docs yesterday about some triggers I may feel being wheeled into a surgical room again, being sedated, the drape(the last thing I recall will Makenzie was still living)etc. They seem to understand and have informed me they will make sure I am comfortable -ahh the power of drugs.
Well, lord willing, I will be updating here in a couple days. Please keep a prayer for DH and me.
There is a very small percentage of risk..but for some reason I can't help to think the odds are not always for us. Wonder why???
