Sex With a Plastic Tube - Part 1

Tomorrow I go in for my first IUI cycle.

I am pretty annoyed by this actually, because I wanted LAST cycle to be my first, but my body and ovulation tests were NOT cooperating and I ovulated about when I should have been starting my period again, and didn't find out until my thermal shift, because I had ran out of ovulation tests.

So I am nervous, because I am pretty sure that I am throwing away $295 plus gas money.  But I have already spent $700 or so on this adventure, so it would be stupid to stop now!  

As unpleasant as the female part of this is, I actually feel worse for the male experience.  I mean, I would be mortified and would probably give up on the whole cause of having a baby if I had to go into a room at the doctors office and amuse myself while everyone knew what I was doing.  So I am thankful that my process is much more clinical.

I got the positive test today, and was so surprised to see that smiley face.  After the fiasco that was last months attempt I was really figuring that I would ovulate on one of the days that I can't go to the doctor due to either Michael or the doctors busy schedule.  

So I am eternally pessimistic and eternally optimistic.  I am positive that this will not work, but then I think, well eventually something has to work.  Maybe last month was canceled because God knew that it wouldn't work or something right?  (Is it narcissistic to think that God is actually that involved with my journey to conceive?)

Tomorrow I will get my lazy butt on here again and tell about the whole horrible experience.  And let you know if it hurts like mad.

    Good luck! I don't think you're narcissistic at all. I think God has a hand in everyone's lives. :)

    Good luck. I will tell you I remember my first IUI. My DH was in the room and after everyone walked out and left me to lie back for 15 minutes, I asked DH to kiss me. He did and asked why. I said, "Well if we're going to make a baby, I should at least get kissed." Hang in there.

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...
