Good day!

I had a good day today. Micah and I went to Target with my mom and Kayla. We found some really good deals. I got a couple of shirts for Micah that were only $1.48!! I found several other shirts and shorts for between 2 and 3.50. I found a jacket for Micah that is really cute. I got seven shirts/shorts, the jacket, a Color Wonder set and something else that I don't recall at the moment for just over $40. It was a good shopping day!!

Then we went to McD's. I usually could care less about going there but the two girlies got to choose. I always get the same thing the 10 piece chicken nugget meal w/ sweet and sour and sweet tea. Today, I saw they have some new burgers and they looked good so I decided to try one but wasn't overly hopefull because it was McD's after all. I chose the mushroom swiss one and it was awesome. It was way to big so I didn't finish it, but it was well worth it.

The next part was the best... I got my haircut, highlights, and my eyebrows waxed! It was great. Long overdue! It is amazing how much better you feel after a little pampering.

Jeremy had band rehersal tonight so it was just me and Micah. We went to DQ for ice cream. We ran into some old friends. It was really nice to see them. Micah played with their little girl and her friends on the playground.

It was a great day.

Great weekend and update

Our camping weekend went really well and we had a blast. We ended up with an electric site which made having our fans easier. The weather was really nice and if we wouldn't have had the fans it probably would have been OK. Jeremy's parents brought the boat up Thursday night.

We spent most of the day Friday out on the boat. Micah and Jeremy went to the beach after we got back. Micah started "swimming" without her floaties. I had a really bad headache so I didn't get to see it that time. After a little nap I felt a little better.

James came to get the boat the next morning because he thought there was going to be some bad weather. Of course the boat can get wet but when it rains everything in the boat gets wet too and that's is a lot of extra work. Micah decided she wanted to go home with him and go to church with them in the morning. We decided to go play mini golf at the lodge because it was to cool to go swimming. It started raining while we were playing but it was still fun. I won!!

We had to get up pretty early to get back in time for church. After church we picked Micah up and went back up for a little more play time. We packed up the last of our stuff and then went swimming again. I got to see Micah's new tricks in the water. She will run out into the water then "swim" out by kicking her feet and using her arms to pull herself along. She will go until she can't touch with her arms any more and the hop up and run back to shore. Then she starts the whole thing again. She is really funny! She will hold her nose and go under the water. It amazes me how much braver she is than even last week.

So now the update part of the post. I finally got a call back from Dr. K's office right before they left the office on Thursday. They said that it didn't look like I was responding to the Clomid this month. DUH! So, no IUI this time. If we don't get pregnant on our own this time we will try the same dose next month. If I don't respond again they can up the dose one more time. We can try three or four more times. I am not sure that I even want to do it one more time. It's decision time again I guess. I asked about having blood work done and they said no. He said because I have a pretty regular cycle my body is working properly. Obviously not.

Quick update

Last month I had a few eggs that were getting close to being mature by this point. This time I had zero. I am waiting for them to call back because Dr. does surgury on Thursday morning and was out of the office while I was there. I'll let you all know later what they say.

busy weekend!

We have a busy weekend coming up.

Tomorrow is the first ultrasound of this cycle. We'll see how that goes.

Jeremy and Micah have a dentist appointment tomorrow. This will be the first time Micah has her teeth checked. I am really hoping that she doesn't have the Stone teeth! I think she will be ok though.

When they are done at the dentist we are leaving to go camping again. We are taking our tent this time. We always try to get a site with electric but we couldn't this time. It is going to be pretty warm this time so we are taking a generator to run our fans. We are such wimps! Not that we will be at our tent much, Micah loves the beach.

Sunday is supposed to be a party for Jeremy's uncle and his new wife. We might get to go because we have to go back up to the campground to get our tent after church. We aren't quite sure how we are going to work that out yet.

Have a good weekend everyone!!

More Swimming

Our neighbors are camping this weekend. Since they fed our cat and watched the house while we camped last week, we are returning the favor. The difference is we have to "watch" their pool. So we watched it from the inside tonight. Micah really is getting more confident. She was swimming all over the place. She had a little fit but then we tried letting her swim back and forth between us and she took off.

They have told us we could us the pool any time. Jeremy and Micah use it every once and a while. They went last week when I wasn't feeling well. The water was 95. Tonight it was down to 85 and for some reason it felt like we were going to go into hypothermia. It felt so cold! We are hoping that it warms back up so we don't shiver to death if we go back.

We are ready for the weekend. Fireworks on Saturday night with the family. Plus, Amanda will be in so we get to see the first pictures of Emma and Amanda herself!

The Game Plan

So the plan for this month is pretty much the same as last month. I go for the first ultrasound next Thursday at 9:00. I guess it will be about the same as last month. Can't wait for those shots again!!
