Wow...all this time off and I'm still horrible about blogging!! Quick updates:
Move: We got all the paperwork taken care of and to the right people. Now it's just a waiting game until April!!
TTC: AF showed Monday. So, on to another round of 100mg Clomid and ultrasounds. First U/S - all clear to start my Clomid! So far no crappy side effects either, so I'm quite pleased. Plus, AF's visit was really short this time. Guess that's what happens when I have a normal-length cycle. :S
Doctor appts: I did my procedure for my GI. The results: all normal, which means I don't have Crohns. Yup, could have told ya that. Next step: doing an upper endoscopy complete with biopsies of the small intestine to completely rule out Celiac Sprue. Lucky me. I'll get the results from that about 2 weeks before we move. Not so nice...
Other news: I ran a whole mile yesterday on the treadmil without stopping!! I was very impressed with myself. Granted, it was a 9:13 mile pace, but still. I ran it the whole time without stopping. That in and of itself is a great accomplishment for me. Going to the gym on a regular basis is starting to show! I'm so happy!!
I have also somewhat volunteered to help with a friend's baby shower! It's going to be so much fun and I can't wait! It's going to be a mixture of regular people with family and friends also joining us on Skype. That's going to be a first experience for me, but I'm sure it's going to be a blast!
I've decided my blog needs an overhaul. Now, if only I could find something that suits my personality and my tastes...Google search here I come! (although it may be a very slow trek...)

Good (early) morning!
Today is my first official unemployed day, and let me tell ya, it's off to a great start! The Hubby re-enlists in the military this morning, so I'm up way earlier than usual! It's a darned good thing too since Hubby had his phone on vibrate last night and didn't hear it go off when his alarm went off (3:30am). I had my alarm set for 4:15 so I could get up and get halfway awake and decent looking before his ceremony at 5:30. When I woke up, he was still sleeping, and he is supposed to be at work at 4:30!! I quickly woke him up and got his butt moving as fast as it could! Plus, since we live in the way-too-northern country for now, he had frost on the windows of his car. I went out to start it for him, so it could warm up, and, considering the time, I decided to scrape the windows. Now, take into account the fact that it is 4:20am and I just crawled out of bed. I didn't bother to put on sweatpants or even a coat for that matter. Instead, I just went outside in my pink fuzzy robe (with my shorts and t-shirt on underneath), with my pink slippers on. No hat, gloves, coat, nada. Thank goodness no one else is awake at these hours!! To make a long story short, he left the house around 4:30, but he said he'd be okay as long as he was there before 4:45am. What a whirlwind morning for my first day off!!

humpf...
Unless something crazy happens with my temps over the next few days (aka, a sudden jump back up), I think C17 will be starting soon. I'm getting incredibly sick of all this stuff. I'm tired of having to take Clomid and the side affects. I don't want to have to get another HCG shot (after the first one and the pain I had for 3 days, yeah...not quite what I want to go through again). I don't want to take my temp another day. I don't want to have this be so hard!! Why couldn't I just be more like my mom?? She had 3 kids in a matter of 3 years. Why can't I be that lucky??
With the turn of the calendar, it marks the 2 year anniversary of when we decided to start TTC. Granted, it hasn't been a full 2 years with all the deployments and schooling and whatnot, but still. It's a little bit of a stab in my side. Plus, to add to the fact that DH and I will be moving in 7 weeks doesn't help the situation either. I'm really debating if I want to do another round of Clomid this month. I know it's going to be a crazy stressful month, but then again, I love working with my doctor and his staff and I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back into another doctor regarding the infertility treatments and whatnot. Once we get to Colorado, I'll have to start over again with a new primary doctor and get a referral and go through everything again. I'm not looking forward to it at all. At least they'll have RE's a lot closer to where we'll be living, so I can go see an RE instead of an OB/GYN. I just don't want to start over with this stuff. It's already been such a long time, and having to go through a lot of this again isn't going to make it any easier at all.

This week, I was emailing/talking with a good friend of mine who happens to be 28 weeks pregnant with their first. She got talking about losing weight and how she did it because she has a family history of PCOS. She shared with me a little of her TTC struggles (I didn't even realize they were trying!), and I honestly teared up at work. [Thank goodness I was the only one there!] She said that she had been temping and thought that there was a possibility that she may have PCOS because she never really saw clear patterns in her charts. She said that she also had 2 false positive pregnancy tests. While her husband was deployed, she decided to lose some weight, and shockingly, the weekend he came home was the weekend that changed their lives. I seriously wanted to reach through the computer and give her a big hug and also share with her Hubby's and my struggles with TTC. Someday soon I will share with her though. She's such a great friend, and I am going to miss her dearly when we move. I felt so honored that she would share such personal information with me.
Friday was my last day of work. It's bittersweet to be leaving. Yeah, I didn't care for all the drama and whatnot, but honestly, there are so many great people that work there that I am going to miss a lot! And then there are those that I am not going to miss at all! Either way though, I don't have to go to work as an employee anymore, and it's going to be glorious!!
