So, I can't even remember the last blog I wrote or what it was about... So I'm going to start where I maybe, possibly left off.
We moved and it was definitely the right decision. Apart from living too close to my parents and were still not pregnant, everything else is.going great. I got a job at a great salon. I'm making pretty good $$$, much better than all the other salons I've worked at anyway. Dh got an awesome job selling vacation clubs. He's doing so well! Plus were finally getting health insurance! I'm so excited about it, hopefully i'll know today when our benefits will kick in - I'm thinking end of October? And its pretty convenient seeing as October will mark us ttc for 1 whole year. Good grief! I look back over the last year and cannot understand how I haven't gotten pregnant yet. Granted my cycles are all over the place and some are insanely long, but I know I've ovulated almost every cycle. We've tried preseed, bding every other day, hips elevated, sex in the am, sex in the pm, temping and not temping, quit smoking, quit drinking sodas, quit eating fast food, got off of my anxiety meds, gained weight, lost weight, drinking only water, I even ate a pineapple core to try and get pregnant. What nonsense! Now were just bding and relaxing, I'm not temping to keep my mind off of it and remain stress free. I'm feeling probably the healthiest I've ever felt so that's good I guess. Also, I'm seeing a chiropractor now which I'm hoping will aid in us ttc. I've had lower back/hip problems over the last couple of years. I see the "back cracker" once a week now. My cycle before last I didn't O till cd 60, my last cycle after I began seeing the chiropractor I O'd on cd 18 - could be coincidence or maybe realigning my body is helping it function properly. That cycle has already ended and I'm on cd 11 now so we'll see how this cycle goes. As soon as our insurance kicks in, dh is getting a sa done. I'm a bit nervous about it, mostly because he had epididymitis twice. Whether or not that can affect his reproductive ability- I have no idea. Fingers crossed his stuff works! But if everything with him checks out, that means I'm the problem. I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is with me, I mean my cycles are all over the place, I have midcycle spotting sometimes, I'm a mess. Hopefully whatever the case is they can fix it so we can finally get pregnant.
A good friend of mine is about to pop, she's due Oct. 9th (i don't think she'll make it that long) anyway, we work together which is great but some of the time it does make me feel a little down when she talks about what she bought for the baby and things like that. Her baby was an accident - I don't think she realizes how lucky she is. I would give anything to be pregnant. I went to her dads house with her yesterday and took her maternity photos for her. They turned out soo cute! I absolutely cannot wait to take maternity pics. Her baby shower is this coming weekend, not sure how that'll make me feel - I've avoided every baby shower since ttc but I'm going to hers since we've been friends since elementary school. I haven't gotten her anything yet...I need to get on that lol
Baby name has changed! Instead of Eivlyn for a girl, we've decided on Maggie :) Im not sure if we'll change the spelling , but I love it! And here lately I've been seeing the name a lot! I cut through a parking lot the other day and in the back was a street named Maggie. Also I was looking at a website for wall escalated earlier, I was thinking how cute these would be for "maggie's room" and right after I saw that there was a picture of something that said "custom for Maggie" oh my goodness I'm absolutely in love with the name. I really hope our first baby is a girl, but of course ill take girl or boy at this point I don't care I just want a little one!
