Happy thoughts

Well, I spoke to the doctor's office this week and since he will be taking most of August off, our appointment is scheduled for September 2nd. I am really wxcited. Hopinh to move things along, but one hold up...we do not want a Leo baby. Sad I know, but after talking about all the leos we know, we just don't want to deal with it. After October the soonest we can go in to be inseminated is not until December, as we will be out of town in Nov into the start of December. Suppose we will wait and see how it all goes at the doctor to start with.

I am on meds for a sinus infection, and thank goodness they are working, I was miserable! Hopefully I will feel like me again soon, and I think my wonderful wife will appreciate that as well. She took care of me pretty well while I was feeling so crappy.

This has nothing to do with much of anything except needing to vent, but we got to find out what our new shifts were at work today. As some of the newer employees, we got what was left after everyone else has chosen theirs...keep in mind there are 600-700 employees where I work. We had been told all this time that we would get a fair shot just like everyone else at a shift that was good. Turns out there was never any intention of this happening, so due to false expectations, I am pretty unhappy about the whole thing. We both ended up on a team that is going to be dispersed before the new shift even starts in August, so we have no idea what our shift will even be for another 3-4 weeks. Not so good when you are also going to school and starting this fall, school full time! We'll see how it goes.

I have decided I want to learn to work a sewing machine, as I want to be really crafty, but just need somewhere to start. I think one of my favorite places to go is the fabric store, and that is a little strange. I want to be able to make stuff for the baby(ies) and not get all storebought stuff. That is not as special or cost effective.

Doggy cuddle time for now, then to do some homework. Fun fun!

Here I sit at the computer, home sick from work. I decided to use a blog to keep track of the craziness of trying to become mommies. Liz will probably be the one doing the majority of the posting. This should be a little easier than sending out emails to individual people with updates all the time. I'm not sure if it will be interesting, but a way to keep record non the less.

After looking, talking, thinking and wanting for a long time, we decided not to postpone the start of our family any more. After doctors appointments for me (Liz) to make sure I am healthy, a scare from weird bloodtests... 9 vials of blood later, I was given a clean bill of health to start the process. We have contacted a doctor, as we have decided to go for IUI vs. turkey baster, and should get to go see them soon to get the ball rolling I hope. I started the prenatals already and and have been eating a lot healthier. No coffee, no alcohol, much less sugar, and many other things that can reduce fertility or be bad for a baby. We have picked out our baby juice (sperm) and it is ready and waiting for us to come and get it when the time comes. We have been baby shopping, and have much more than we should at this point in time, just waiting for the little ones to use it all. At this point it is just a waiting game...darn doctors.
