Tuesday. . .

It's kind of funny how Joe wakes me up every morning at 6am to give me my injection. He says "wake up, it's time to make a baby".  Sounds like something I was usually saying around O time when I finally would get a positive OPK.

A friend of mine on BBC posted this link for me today...

I like reason #719 for today. I crossed out the few that didn't pertain to myself.

#719 You are More than your Infertility

You are more than your infertility.
You are a wife, a partner, a friend, a lover.
You are a daughter, sister, an aunt, a cousin.
You are a worker, a fur mommy, a smiler, a laugher.
You are a timed intercourse lover, a basal temperature checker, a pregnancy bump spy.
You are a toilet paper inspector, a Doctor Google searcher, an ovulation charter.
You are a pregnancy strip tester, a PCOS hair plucker, a low-sperm count partner.
You are a fake pregnancy symptomer, a Clomid side effector, a Facebook pregnancy spy.
You are a crier in public places, a hormonal fertility needle injector, a fertility drug addict.
You are hoper, a believer, a person who won’t give up-er.
You are a strong woman.
Infertility does not define you.

National Infertility Awareness Week

Day 1 & 2 = Success!

I started 10iui Lupron yesterday. I was so nervous for nothing! I iced the area to numb it.  Joe counted down while I turned my head away.  He did it off count so I wouldn't realize. Well he got to one and I asked him why he didn't do it yet (I thought he chickened out!) and he told me he did do it! Really? And I didn't even feel it. Cool. So far no side effects. I have been really tired but I blame that 100% on painting the living room all day.

Yesterday I took Gia to a birthday party.  I guess I am very unapproachable. Only 1 mother came to talk to me (of course she was pregnant). I think I am not taken seriously because I am young and actually look so much younger then I am.  I look more like Gia's big sister.  And I don't have any other children. All the moms have 3+ kiddos and are 32+. I know I will be taken more seriously as a mother once I have my second little one.  I can't wait :)

Stupid Stupid Shirts

I went to Kohl's yesterday to return a pair of pants for Gia.  They always have those shirts that say "Big Sister" and "Will trade brother for icecream". I haven't been really bothered lately by seeing babies or baby things or even pregnant woman the way I was just a few months ago.  But for some reason when I saw these shirts I got so angry.  I wanted to take my arm and swipe it across the shelf and throw them all on the floor and step on them. Yes, I was very angry. I feel like I have been waiting forever to get Gia a big sister shirt.  Then I realized they only had them up to size 6X I think. You don't normally see bigger kids wearing these shirts.  It hit me that my big baby and my little baby will be so far apart in age.  Gia wants to be a big sister so badly.  That is all she ever talks about.  When there is a baby on TV she stops and stares at the baby with such admiration.  I want to make her a big sister.  And I know she will be one day.  She just has so much interest right NOW. I am scared by the time I do get pregnant and have the baby that she will be much more into "big girl" things and playing with her friends.  I hope one day she can help push her baby brother or sister in the stroller instead of pushing Rosie (our dog) in the stroller...
Here are some pictures of Gia and her "little sister" as she calls her...

Honeyversary!

I didn't get to post about our Honeyversary we went on this past weekend.  We went to the Poconos for a romantic getaway since our 1 year anniversary landed on Easter this year.  We had a lot of fun and the room was very romantic.
Here's a picture when we drove up

And our room key

And us in our mirror above our bed :)
