My new baby niece was born on March 14th, and a total doll!! I love her so much, and am so looking forward to spoiling her rotten.

She is SO SWEET!!!

Randomness Part 2.

Since I haven't written in well over a month, you get more randomness from me!
Matt found a job about 3 days after I posted the last post. Talk about blessed.. thank goodness for family. My brother helped get him on at Aaron's, which is where my brother is a General Manager, and he is a Management Trainee working his way up to General Manager, which will be a GREAT opportunity for him. He started on Oct. 25th so he is on his 3rd week there and really loves it. It has been tough not seeing him all day, going to lunch with him everyday and not riding to work together, but it makes our time together at home, at night, that much more special. He finally got his uniform"shirts" in the mail so I can stop ironing dress shirts, dress pants and ties.. which is my reason/excuse for no blogging. And yes, I have heard about a thing called "dry cleaners", but I really have not had time to drop off and pick up so I have been doing it all on my own. Blah.
And the 100 mg of clomid was a no go.. my progesterone level was actually lower with 100 mg of clomid than it was with 50mg.
Up to 150 mg of clomid for this cycle, which I finished this past weekend. Since, I have been talking myself out of getting naked and sitting inside of a deep freezer. I am hot, hot, hot, hot.... and I don't mean sexy. I mean hot.. I like to call them heatwaves... because they start at my head and work down and before you know it I can feel sweat coming from my pores. It's during the night while sleeping, during the day while I am sitting at my desk, whenever. Hot. I had some MAJOR pains last night in both ovaries. It was almost intolerable, and sweet Matt rubbed my back to help me fall asleep. My OPK sticks are slightly getting darker, and its only CD13 ... normally they don't start getting darker until day 20 or so.
OH, and I am going to the Nutcracker Market on Saturday with my sister in law and niece on Saturday!! For anyone who lives around Houston and hasn't been... GO... it is such a treat. I actually have some money put aside for this trip so I am super excited.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner!! I am loving everyone's thankful blogs and Facebook post. If I weren't so behind I would totally participate!!
Time to go ice down this hot body.

Bad News

We found out today that Matt is going to be laid off at the end of the month. ):
They did give him notice so that is a good thing, but I am hoping that he finds something soon.
He immediately came home and started looking things up on the computer.
Please keep us in your prayers!

On to the new cycle!

I called Miss Nurse lady today and suprisingly she called right back with my results. I love it when they call you on your desk phone and work and you can't talk because if you even mutter the words "ovulate" or "levels" over the phone with her my cubicle neighbors might hear and GASSPPPP.. think I may be pregnant when I am in fact not.

Anyways, she said that on a medicated cycle they like to see the Progesterone at a 10 and mine was 1.5.

Boooo!

She called in Clomid, at 100 mg this month and we will try, try, try again!

Oh, and PCOS sucks, and I have horrible heartburn.
That is all.

She has arrived!

AF that is...

Right on time..

28 days.

Never in the 20ish years that I have had a period have I had one for 6 months now in a row. And since August it has been an exact 28 days cycle!

Headed in the right direction?

Stay Golden Pony Boy.. (Random stuff)

• OU Beat Texas for the first time in 4 years. Matt is a huge OU fan, and this game is big in our household. Looks like he will get to wear the pants this year. I have been wearing them for 4 years and ready to give them up. But my Longhorns need to SHAPE up.. immediately.
• Matt, my dad, my brother, and I all had the stomach flu/virus this week. Mine just happened to come on Monday, the day I am supposed to do payroll at work. My boss helped a ton, but I felt terrible leaving it with her. I tried to go in, I sat in the car for an hour and threw up and just couldn't do it. A week later, I still get these hot flashes and cold sweats. It was a rough one. Leave it to my body to make me throw up and have pregnancy symptoms the week before I am scheduled for AF.
• Being home that day, I decided to take pee on a OPK stick, and it was a bold bright positive. Weird. Day 20ish.. and I was just now ovulating? My last cycle was 28 days so that would not give it enough time to implant, etc.. right?
• I went in for Day 21 blood work on Thursday to see if I ovulated. I haven't heard back from Nurse "Vacation day when I really need her" but I am having some very light spotting. Maybe pre-AF?
• I am super ecstatic about my Fall TV lineup... it will get its own post, no worries there.
• I have had two Scentsy parties in the last two weeks, and its been real fun. I should be good and ready for Christmas, which is where the extra cash is going to go towards. I had one today, along with two co-workers who sell Premier and Miche Bags and we booked another party in late October, and we are already having one in late October.. so two more this month! We are like a traveling band, lol.
• Matt bought a fish aquarium yesterday. It started with an idea of a small one, which turned into a pretty big one for our first aquarium, which turned into a ton of money later. I am glad he is excited about it though, he doesn't treat his self like I do with my silly indulges. He is always pretty smart about money and he works hard so he deserves it too. Anyways, we set it all up and were supposed to let it sit for 24 hours before we added fish to the mix, and so last night he couldn't wait and we added 6 fish we bought at Wal-Mart. He woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me that all 6 fish were dead. We went back this morning after church and he bought an Oscar and 5 small red fish. The Oscar ate all the red fish and now is laying on the gravel like he is too full to move. I don't know if he will make it or not.
• We went and saw Case 39 on Friday night and LOVED it. I love scary movies, and this one had a good story to it. It was pretty creepy though.
• I missed the Texas Rice Festival this weekend!!! This is held right by my hometown and I was in the parades in high school, danced on the stage in drill team and have gone pretty much every night of the festival from the time I was in high school on. It's always a high school reunion, and really cool to see everyone and their families, but the best part is the freaking food. The yummy, amazing, indulgent food. They have rice balls, cajun Pistolettes, Ka-bobs, gumbo, boudain balls, and pretty much anything else you can think of. I almost checked with my folks to see if they could pick me up some rice balls and froze them for me so I could eat them later.

You are pretty much all caught up now (:
