Sorry for the lack of a post this past week. Christmas was nice, the kids were happy with all the goods and Mom and Dad were too. Got me a super duper new toaster oven. Woot, can't beat that!
The boys got way to much but what else is new? Terrell is really enjoying his new football and Jayden loves all the cars and trucks they got. Jayden has a new word, well that is not really true he has a ton of new words. Cold is the one he uses the most right now and snow. Yesterday when changing his clothes he was flopping around and I asked what was wrong and out popped COLD! It is so funny to hear him talking this much.

Terrell is enjoying his week off of school and has been staying up late and sleeping in. Which means Mom get to sleep in too. Starting on Monday I go on days and will be up at 4:30am and out of the house at 5:15am to get the kids to the sitter and me to work by6. Then off at 2 and rush home to pick both boys up, T from school and J from the sitter. God help me the first couple of weeks are gonna be hard.

I am working for NYE and still debating if I am staying at the hotel after my shift or if I am gonna go home. Guess I need to figure it out soon. What are your new year's plans?

Looking up

Well things around here are looking up. I think I was PMSing on Friday, it might have to do with that full moon we had. And yes I know I am pregnant but it still felt like PMS. Tony went shopping Friday night and now there are 5 wrapped presents sitting under the tree with my name on them. This is truly a first in our house. Our tree was put up Sunday morning by a tired momma and a very excited Terrell. I let him decorate almost the whole thing except for the top part he couldn't reach. That boy had a blast doing it. We will hopefully be finishing the rest of the house tomorrow.

Last week I think I entered a contest over at Mama loves giveaways for a diaper cake and I won!! I am so excited, you see I am hosting a baby shower on the 14th of December for a coworker. This is going to be the best centerpiece! Go over and check out some of the other cool stuff they are giving away.

A Little Better

I am feeling just a wee bit better everyday. I have worked since Wednesday but today is the first day that I am really starting to feel better. Thank you all for the well wishes, it means a lot to me. All I did was stand up and BAM the pain hit me like a ton of bricks. It was hard to get through the rest of the day but I had a little help from my friends and family. I am taking muscle relaxers now and that is helping but it knocks me out big time.

As for Christmas it was a blast! Terrell was so excited and got everything he wanted except a bike. When he opened his air craft carrier he said "Santa is a good man." It was so funny. The other thing that cracked us up was when he opened his Darth Vader mask talking thing he said "I have been wanting this for years and years." He was so happy and loved the little robot dog he got.

On the baby front, Tony went in today for his SA. I will be getting all the results at our mini consult on the 22nd. I have my HSG on the 16th assuming I am not pregnant now. HA HA like that would happen to me on a unmedicated cycle.

Anyway that is what is going on here. I am working and then partying at the hotel on new years. I do that every year and we always have a blast. I will be getting around to everyone's blogs soon I promise. If I sit to long it hurts so it may be a few days.

3 more days

Terrell is getting so excited for Christmas. Every morning he wakes up and asks how many days? I can not wait to see his face Christmas morning when he sees all the presents under the tree. I am working right up to Christmas. In fact this year I am working Christmas eve morning 7 to 3. It doesn't bother me a bit because I am usually working Christmas night 3 to 11. This year we will actually have our dinner on the right day. If I don't get around to everyone's blog I just want to wiish you a very merry Christmas from my family to yours.

RE appointment

Sorry about not posting yesterday. I got up and went Christmas shopping immediately. We spent 3 hours in Wal-Mart, and of course the checkout girl was an idiot. I did manage to get the last of Tony’s presents. I got him a silver bracelet and a silver ring that says Dad from Terrell. Then I worked all night.

The appointment with the Re went great. Since I was CD2 they did CD3 blood work and stuff to get me started. I go CD10 for a ultrasound and more blood work. Anyone know what they are looking for on that ultrasound? Tony has to do a sperm analysis and I have a HSG scheduled for next month. They couldn’t get me in this month due to the holidays. I really like my doctor and have to think of a name for him on the blog. Any ideas? He is really nice but I don’t really know him yet. I did feel very comfortable and I love the nurse who is going to be my contact at the clinic. The only thing I didn’t love is blood and ultrasounds only in the mornings from 6:30 to 7:45. That means I have to get up at the crack of dawn on those days even after working late the night before. Oh well I guess I will just have to deal with it.

Our work Christmas party is this Sunday night. I am hoping Mike will watch Terrell so we can spend the night at the hotel and have some alone time. Well that is it for me have a good day all.
