When it comes to my kids...

I'd do anything for them.

The other day I was talking to our friend who has twins. We talked about the risk involved and we talked about her son. He has epilepsy and has been on so many medications over the years. Right now he's seeing specialists all over and they've decided to keep him on his current meds.

The hard part is for him. Socially he sometimes has a hard time in school. He's had his seizures at school and it scares the other kids.

I've read up on Topamax class action lawsuit and I have to say that if a medication had an effect on my child the way that it has on so many I would be the first one to find a good attorney.

But no matter how much compensation you might get...it never replaces having a healthy child.

RAIN.

There's so much rain outside. Margot had planned on spending this weekend doing deck stuff. YEsterday she poured the concrete foundations for the deck. Today it looks like it's going to be raining on and off for the rest of the day. I think this evening is suppose ot have half an inch of rain hit.

WHat happened to the sunny springtime??

6w6d

Well, I'm almost 7 weeks. I've only puked once and felt sick quite a few times. My belly has popped out.

Tuesday we go in for another ultrasound. At this point it's still hard to think that there are three babies that are growing.

I did the consult with the genetic counselor this week. It provided some clarity and we're going to go ahead and go through with the procedure to reduce two of the babies.

With my heart condition there's no way that I can carry triplets to term.

I'm so sad about it all...but I want and need a healthy baby in the end.

Beauty school...

dropout?

Of course, that is not my style. To drop out...that is.

One of my friends is a Cosmetologist and I am constantly amazed at how well she does financially! She also works as an airline attendant for American Airlines. When she doesn't have assignments she goes right back to her Cosmetology background and ALWAYS has a job waiting for her!

I think she might have gone to Springfield beauty school, where she was raised.

These days I have been looking at going back to work. I wrestled with the idea of doing real estate and getting my license but maybe I should look for a back up plan in case that does not work.

RegencyBeauty.com offers Cosmetology school in many different areas and they are an industry leader.

Big wheels...

keep on turning.

I think I might buy truck gps because I've heard that they'r much better than the gps products that are out there.

OUr GPS is SO slow. It takes 10 minutes to find a satelight and typically you have to wait around for it to even figure out where you are.

Then there's the whole thing with big cities. The second we get near a big building it goes wonky and acts lost!

I think it's time for a new purchase!!

3.

I'm pretty drained emotionally.

We found out there are triplets. All three embryos we put back stuck. To say the least...we're absolutely shocked.

Wish I could write more....

No more mowing for me!

We have a riding mower and over the years it's been incredible. This is the first summer that I won't be able to use it since I'm pregnant and figure it might just be too much wiggling.


I've been eyeing the honda mowers for awhile and my parents always had Honda mowers. I remember they never broke down and were always reliable!

Of course, I should just save my money because we also need to get a weedeater too!

We're having another baby...

or two.

It worked.

What was going to be our one and only attempt at having another baby worked. The numbers are great and we go in next Tuesday to find out how many bambinos have taken up residence.

I'm excited.

And tired.

Enough meds already!

Tonight I took all of my shots which included progesterone and lovenox. I forgot about the sting and the pain.

I have a friend who is getting low testosterone treatments and he actually is having to do injections too.

It's interesting how we all have to go through our own daily battles to get what we want!

I just wish that it didn't have to be so painful! Why can't we just take another pill?

Not so good news.

I got the call that out of my 8 eggs only 3 were good and 3 fertilized.

I'm truly disappointed. I know with aging stuff like that happens and you become less fertile. However, I expected to have more to work with.

Here's hoping that those three embryos continue to grow and I have some perfect 8 cell embryos Wednesday.

Makes sense.

When I was in healthcare they were always looking for ways to make things more effective. In doing so they came up with point of care cart. That way you would have all of the supplies you need on hand instead of running back and forth to a closet or storage area.

It was shocking how efficient this made working and typically the aides were able to almost double their work just by having supplies on hand!

This is going to be fun!

I just talked to my grandma and she's booked her ticket to visit my uncle and aunt. Then they're making the roadtrip here with my cousin and her husband and kids!

I'm so excited!!! It's going to be so much fun. Now I just have to get the house in shape AND...clean!

EEK.

Too bad our kitchen won't be finished.

HOPEFULLY....

I'll be in the market for some personilized baby items !

This time around we would not find out the gender of the baby. I loved it when we didn't know for Graem. It was fun. We have everything for a little girl and I think I'd be really shocked if we ended up with a little boy!

It's also going to be hard to go to an ultrasound and not look for the goodies! I think since we've done this so many times I might actually be able to figure it out.

One day of meds down....

8 more to go! WOW...this is going fast and I'm hopeful. But anxious. I want it to work.

BUT...if it doesn't I think I'm going to be alright with that.

We've gone back and forth on the number of embryos to transfer back and I just don't know what to do...

We talked about if there are more than 4 splitting them up and freezing the others. Or we could always just wait and do a 5 day transfer.

Right now I feel like I can't count my eggs until they are retrieved!

Scammed.

There are so many scams out there. I'm always weary when I get something via email and I haven't bought anything from television ads since I purchased those stupid candle lights that you put in your windows for the holidays.

I read about the lipozene scam the other day and was shocked! So many people rely on these products for help and it's sad to know that there are companies out there that will take advantage of this.

An easy week?

Tomorrow seems like a light day. I have all exteriors which means I get to go at my own pace and I don't have to worry about making appointments. It looks like I might be done and home around 1:30p which will let me enter my reports and might even have 20 minutes to read or do some laundry.

I like slower days.

HOpefully, this weekend will be just as calm. I'm taking off in a few weeks for the IVF and the kid's spring break and I'm guessing that my boss is starting to let me wind down a bit.

An upgrade?

When Graem was younger we got her an ipod We got tired of listening to all of the Backyardigans and it got to the point when everytime we got into the car she would demand one of those obnoxious songs.

Now that Emmy's in the picture I haven't passed on the ipod. It has all of the old songs and I'm just not sure what Emmy would like.

I've had my eye on the 8g ipod nano and now the price is low enough to pick one up for a steal!

I just don't know anymore...

Today was a rough day. There's so much on my mind and I just don't even know how to write it down. Nor do I know if I want to open up online. I'm due to get AF in just a few days and don't know how supported or prepared I really am.

Death's door...

Our old laptop is on it's last leg. Between two kids and a cat that likes to sleep on it it's surprising that it's lasted this long.

I was looking at custom laptops and I can't decide if we should go this route or that of the iPad. I figured I would let them work out all of the kinks with the 1st and 2nd version but I might not be able to hold back any longer.

The lingering cough...

FRICK.

Had a great post about going how we've switched over the fragrance free stuff and then blogger ate it.

Damn.
