TTC Update

So Ben is still currently working out of town. I think it is getting harder as the weeks go on not easier. Tricia was especially cranky yesterday morning and it was just not a good day at all.

On the TTC front though I saw my doc last Thurs and she was able to start me on Clomid. I haven't had much of a bad reaction to it, slight headaches but that's about it. I took that for 5 days. I go in for an ultrasound on Saturday. If everything looks ok they give me a shot of hcg and we do the IUI on Sunday. This is best case scenario since my husband would be leaving for MI Sunday night but if I'm not ready to get the shot on Sat then he will just have to stay home a day or two this week to do this. I'm kind of stressed about it because no one I know that I have told has given me much support right now with this (besides my online group of girls love them!). I told my mom, and a few friends. Haven't had the chance to tell my sister but I was going to. When I told my mom and all she said is I hope it works. Thanks me too, or else I wouldn't be doing it. So we will see.

Ramblings

So things have changed a bit since I last updated. My husband has decided to buy rights into the business he has been working for and that requires him to be in Michigan for the next 3 months. I will only get to see him on the weekends. He will leave on Sunday night and then come home on Friday night. It stinks but I have to keep reassuring myself it's short term. But that's hard to do with a little 18 month old running around being crazy and running to into exhaustion. But we will make it through. It's just a bit rough and going to be hard to get used to not having that helping hand during the week.

It also kind of makes it a bit hard to TTC but we are going to continue trying as long as timing works out. We tried this weekend so fingers crossed that it works this month. If not, we will be revisiting the RE when he is back in town after the 3 months is up. I had a slight breakdown about this tonight because I'm so frustrated with this not working. After my periods returned from normal I was hoping things would be rather easy but I guess I shouldn't have been so naive.

In other great news though Tricia is getting a cousin! Yes, I found out this morning my sister is pregnant. May have had something to do with my breakdown this evening about our fertility status. But I'm so so excited for her. Slightly jealous though because they live with my parents and pretty much have a live in babysitter and helper whenever they want. And I didn't have that kind of help when Tricia was little so it seems pretty unfair. But it is what it is.

I'm hoping that we get to move soon. With Ben's increase in income from this business we should be able to pay off our debt before the year is up (at least a good majority of it). Which should help us be able to afford a new house within a year or two which is the goal. Sooner rather than later though depending on how things go with our house and if we find something that we want in that time. I've seen a few houses I love but don't have any land. And all the ones with land don't have that great of houses. So we need to find the perfect combo.

Work is still kind of crappy because of the whole raise situation and all that.

I did  get a new laptop this weekend. It's pretty nice. My laptop was 7 years old and I was in desperate need of a new one.

Hoping to keep my sanity this week without the husband around...lord help me.
