I Wanna Learn

So I am a crafty creative girl & I so want to learn how to create blog pages for people. I made the one I have but it is through a site that you have to pay for & it's not really for blogs.. so I want to know what sites other people use or what software to make blogs. I also have a Macbook so it has to be compatible. So if ANYONE can assist or give me the IN I would so appreciate it :-)

Post-It-Note-Tuesday

This is my first time doing Post it Note Tuesday.. I hope I did it correctly & that everyone enjoys :-)

Not Me Monday



I love to vacuum.. {I know I am a weirdo} I love to see the tracks from vacuuming & if there are little feet that ruin the tracks I vacuum over them.. that is how much I love it.. can we say OCD anyone? Anyways I was vacuuming our room on Tuesday & it was NOT ME who didn't realize that the hose was off & while I was vacuuming in front of the window it was NOT ME who sucked the curtains off the wall. Nope I would never notice the first one come down & continue vacuuming so that it would suck the second one down too.. oops.. that was added to my honey do list that has yet been touch LOL.


So Shiloh has been doing really well with sleeping in her bed since we moved to the new house.. well until the last week or so. She has been going to bed at nigh no problem.. but every night around 2 or 3 she has been waking up screaming & crying.. & it is NOT ME who every time rather then sooth her back to sleep & try to attempt to get her to stay in her bed just brought her into our bed to sleep for the night.. we are not going back to that again.. 

So we had a busy weekend & went out of town on Friday for the night & returned Saturday.. but it is NOT ME who has not cleaned, unpacked or picked up since I have been home.. nope I would NEVER allow my house to be a mess or stay a mess for more then 24 hours.. my OCD would never except that. I mean who's house looks like this?? Certainly not mine..

I Heart Thursday's







I am participating in this weeks I "heart"... at You and Me Plus Three. Go there now to add yours and read others!!
 
I ♥ my sister who celebrated her 30th Birthday this past Sunday. Nicole thank you for being older.. I love & miss you so much & can't wait to see you soon!
I ♥ having amazing friends. I think its amazing that even though with some we have had our ups & downs, grown apart/chosen different paths in life & have a huge distances between us we always remain friends & I think that is what real friendship means. 
I ♥ Zac my dog that was put to rest yesterday. He was the best dog & made our lives better & will be so missed.
I ♥ that our Tax guy was wrong about the amount we owed on our taxes & that we were able to get it corrected so that we can now receive a refund.
I ♥ the Terrible 2's that have now started with Shiloh. Without them my patient would not be tested on a daily basis & my ability to stay calm in the most awkward of situations.
I ♥ my new doctor that I met yesterday for the first time who is determined to get me pregnant & soon! 
I ♥ living near Seattle.. I love the big city & that I can drive there in less then an hour :-)

Fertility

So today I met with a new doctor that I am going to refer to as Dr. M. She was awesome. I tell you having a doctor you feel comfortable with is so important! She & I went over my conditions & what is to come & of course the next step for me to conceive & she decided that putting me on Clomid was the best thing for me. I was hesitant before about starting fertility because A: I still wanted to conceive naturally B: I think I was in denial & C: Cost. We have never been concerned with multiples.. well at least I haven't, Stephen is still scared. I think our biggest concern was cost, but after speaking with Dr. M she said she has never had anyone tell her that it was not affordable & that the generic is covered by my insurance so we will see. I will start it this month & she gave me 6 refiles. She also told me to buy a ovulation test so I can make sure I am ovulating & so we know for sure. So I am scared.. but excited that our chances of conceiving are higher now & that the waiting is almost over for us to have another baby.
Dr. M feels this is the best thing for me at this time since we are wanting more children. She said that I am going to need to have a hysterectomy once I am done having babies due to my medical conditions but that carrying the baby should not be an issue.. but that they will monitor me through my first trimester just to make sure. She said with Clomid there are risk of cyst forming on my ovaries but she didn't seem to concerned with it at the moment.
So I am really excited & happy that we can now hopefully get pregnant & soon. I will keep you posted once I start the Clomid this month & let you know my progress & all the side effects so that other people who are considering this can see my experience.
Dr. M said that if this does not work in 6 months she has one other oral medicine to put me on & then if that does not work then I have to see a specialist about other forms of fertility.
So cross your fingers for us & keep us in your prayers that we can conceive & soon with a healthy baby in the next few months.

Great Day

So today was a great day.. well aside from this horrible stomach ache I have had all day but what's new. Anyways.. it started with Stephen getting up with Shiloh & allowing me to sleep in until about 9 AM. I made Stephen & I egg sandwiches for breakfast & then when we were dressed & packed we headed out the door. First we tried going to the DMV to get our address changed on our license but it was packed.. so we headed to Bellevue's DMV.. & that one was PACKED. So we gave up on that. Then headed to Sammamish & we both got our hair cut.. Stephen's turned out well but the girl went a little clipper happy.. oops & mine turned out wonderful.. NO MORE MULLET YAY! Ok it wasn't a complete mullet but it sure did feel like it. Then we had sushi which I have been dying to have for days now. Then we went to see our Tax guy Bob. If you read my When it Rains it Pours then you would know we were told we had to pay a lot in taxes. I never said how much because I was embarrassed but it was $14K.. yeah so you can see why I almost fainted & had a heart attach that day. Well anyways we found out some SUPER GREAT news that we actually don't owe that at all.. LONG STORY.. & we are actually going to be getting some money back. Not a ton.. but that is expected since we don't own a home anymore but hay.. its money we didn't expect so that is wonderful. So after that great news we headed home... but of course we made a few stops on the way. We looked at some model homes & no we aren't looking to buy just yet but we just like to look & see what is out there. Then after that we went to a few stores & then had dinner at Red Robin & headed home. I was still feeling super sick so I laid down for a bit while Stephen called Comcast to let them know that once again our service is not working. This time the internet!! Ugh so annoying I can't wait until our contract is up with them in April so we can get Direct TV back. Anyways that was my super great day with my two loves. Oh & Shiloh's new favorite word is "NO" everything is "No" now.. its so cute & funny.. man do I love that child. My husband is amazing too.. I am one lucky lady :-)

Not Me Monday


Well it was Not Me who decided to not have a Not Me Monday.. no way I would never skip the fun of sharing with all of you my Not So Me Moments.. Never :-(

Sorry I did not participate today. I didn't have time this morning to post before going over to B Boys for the day. Then this afternoon I received some upsetting news from my sister that our family dog "Zac" is very sick & that they are going to have to put him down on Thursday. This will be the third family animal that we are having to say good bye to. First was my cat Scooter who I had from first grade so age 6 or 7 until I was 23, he grew up with me.. was my first love & child LOL. Then our beloved Booger he was our silly cat.. we used to eat pop tarts & have milk together in the morning before school.. we had him for almost as long as Scooter & he passed away in 2007. Then there is Zac our springer spaniel who my step father "Poppy" bought for my mom when I was in 7th grade. I remember going to the pet store with them to pick out a dog.. it was either Zac or a cute pug & we just fell in love with Zac. I remember getting him home & my mom taking him out to use the bathroom & he jumped in the pool. It scared my mom half to death & she jumped in with ALL her clothes on to save him.. not realizing her was born to swim in the pool. He swam in our pool more then any of us which I know thrilled my parents that the pool was finally getting its use. He was a hyper dog.. & could be a pain in the rear most the time.. but we are going to miss him so very much. My heart aches that I can't be there to say my good byes.. & to be there for my mom & Poppy.. loosing a pet is so hard, he is part of our family & he will be greatly missed. He lived a long happy life.. but good byes are never easy or something I have been good at.. so this is a hard one for me to except.. it wont really hit me until I visit Florida "Home" again & he is not there to great me :-(
