I guess it's been a bit here...

The sinus thing is gone. Hooray for drugs!

However, I am convinced that the drugs mimicked the symptoms of pregnancy for a while, making me think that I was, even though there wasn't too much of a chance for that. V. weird though. I am still in the middle of my longest cycle EVER but expect it to be over soon. Then, back to trying. I think that if I'm not knocked up again and a good way into a pregnancy by the end of 2008, I'm going to put things on hold for a bit and train to run the 1/2 marathon up in EC...but, it's hard to sign up for it when you don't read the future.

I think that there's a good chance that we will be by the end of the year though, so I'm not too worried about that. I think that we've got the timing down to an art now. Plus, it really helps to do all that charting and shit that you can do to tell when the best time is to "go".

Going up to the Netherlands this weekend. Luxemburg. Should be good. My only request was to go to Hobby Lobby in Green Bay on Saturday. Other than that -- nothing else. I don't care what we do.

The printer is awesome. It inspired me to get my wedding scrap book out and actually pick out paper for the backgrounds and keep it downstairs so I can use it when I get my pictures sorted out.


We're quickly coming up on the due date of the first baby. I'm not sure if it makes me sad or not. I'm more consumed with trying again than worrying about the past. I hope. I tell myself that, but...you know. I do think sometimes that I really should be sitting here, over 8 months, with a cute little nursery to create, but that will come in time. It really will. I know it.

Oh! And I went to the new doctor -- he's really great. Older and pretty good. Knows what he's talking about, which is always good. He said that he believe that the 'heart-shaped' thing wasn't an issue, esp. since they didn't notice it during the first pregnancy in February, but did notice it in July. Made him think that it corrects itself in my case and probably shouldn't be an issue. He said that he could do thyroid testing and some other tests, just to make sure that everything is a-ok, but he also said that the second time was just a blighted ovum -- in other words, just shitty luck. However, he's much closer to home, so I feel good about that. And, they have later appts and the office was MUCH MUCH quieter. He thought that the next time, I would be just fine.

So, my thoughts are that we'll go one more time here and see what happens. If we lose it again, I think that we will probably proceed with testing me to make sure my thyroid is working right and I don't have auto-immune disorders or a clotting issue or something that could be treated and worked on.

So, let's all cross our fingers that the third time is the charm!
