It occurred to me this morning that I never got a tracking number for my order! Here I am assuming everything is on time. So I called and talked to Derek and got my tracking info my 25 pounds box is currently in Portland, OR last time I check due to deliver tomorrow. I am sooo planning to get to the door faster lol wonder if it will be the same FedEx guy LOL as last time. YEAH!! For FEB! I think I got it all figured out now hahahaha. Yeah. We'll see.
Kids say the funniest things! The other day my mom arrived from work exhausted and said "ahhh poop!"... K who was sitting on the couch watching TV said "It's okay grandma you can use the toilet you don't want an accident!" I about died it was just too funny how she said it totally serious. I love my bug, kids say the darn est things!

ramblings- warning maybe TMI for some
I love to ramble helps me sort my thoughts, feelings and keeps me sane, well kinda. I cant believe in just a few short days we will be trying for our little peanut again. Second time the charm?? Who knows... I hope so. I have been chucking down more water then the fish in the aquarium, I'm sure of it. I'm actually tired of peeing a billion times a day. On the other hand would love to be peeing a billion times a day due to a peanut laying on my bladder :) now that I can handle.
Planning ahead- Something else I have been thinking a lot about lately is a birth plan. Being I had a csection with K many doctors will probably just try to tell me I must have another this time. Depending on what my body thinks, I really think I want to try to have my next child naturally. Yes no drugs, no surgery, no being drugged and no vomiting! I have done enough research on vaginal births after csection and feel comfortable with the risks involved which are minimal. I deserve the right to allow my body to go into labor if no harm will come from it. With K I wasn't allowed that option... I was fat, pregnant and miserable and my doc who really was wonderful pushed a c section, I was in no shape to say hey lets wait a bit longer to see if K wants to come out. Instead I accepted a c section a day after my due date, it really was a wonderful experience even being a major surgery I recovered quickly and have nothing bad to say about it. I just want the opportunity to see if my body will do what women's bodies have been forever. And if it ends in another c section then so what I gave it a shot. We have chosen a hospital 40 min away because its the best of the best around here the 2 hospitals closest to my home don't have the best rap sheets.
Another thing that I didn't do with K was belly pix I regret that. Next time I will do belly pix... yes pix of my gross stretch marked belly. My mom pulled out a box of pictures she was cleaning out and found a pic of me 8 mo preggo with K in my aunts backyard. I started to get emotional... aside from 3 pix of the baby shower it was the only pic I have seen of K in my belly. The only pic I have. I was bigger then a whale but a beautiful momma to be whale. I don't have any pictures of my preggo why not?? Don't know. I specifically recall sitting in a inflatable wading pool in my front yard summer before K was born with Jeff, when F came strolling over with her cell phone.... said hey smile for a pic (camera phone) I refused :( and said no... I regret declining. Pregnancy for me was a crazy roller coaster with not much logic. Hormones aren't nice to me lol. I'm so glad that once K was born I was picture crazy for that baby! I gross as I felt I want so badly to feel like that again ironic isn't it? I could go on for days about things I would love the chance to do differently now that I know the ropes.... I will get that chance again I know it. I will.
TMI WARNING** TMI WARNING** FOR SOME......
One last side note regarding a thought I had after a convo with F... romance and ttc the non conventional way- not easy.... oh baby lets get our groove on uh huh... oh wait a second let me go open the nitrogen tank and get a vial of swimmers out to hold and thaw while we get frisky! HAHAHA yeah. No. Ok lets load em up and disperse them while still in the mood. I guess either way I look at it its a challenge lol... for some reason the thawing a vial of swimmers in my breasts to bring to body temp before insemination just doesn't help me get or stay in the mood. Now if I could have the vial thawed get in the mood be frisky with my hubby and then disperse there wouldn't be much of an issue.... got me thinking this month we will be creative haha how creative is the question. Its all good the goal: get the swimmers as close to there destination as possible. Sounds simple enough. Orgasm after insemination's are no problem, well hell why no O before and after? Its that whole oh lets pause while the swimmers thaw (10 min) LOL oh yes I went there.... truth to it is, things aren't natural lol cant let "nature takes its course" always gotta be something so scientific with frozen sperm...lol Oh well so now that I went there... I suppose I will post the outcome after the weekend. I cant wait to be pregnant and look back on this blog and laugh my ass off... seriously!
My goal: find a romantic and pleasurable way to get in the mood, thaw vial and inseminate...
last month was more of a trial run and experiments but we can do better this month lol toy box here we come.... god I went there again....

Round 2 ding ding ding!
So I placed my order today for Feb! Swimmers will be here a week from tomorrow, crazy how time has gone by! I was also informed that our donor only has 2 ici vials left. So if we don't get pregnant this try we will be changing donors as the current one will be sold out by then for ici, and I don't want to use iui format. I had planned on changing if month #2 doesn't work to another donor. But I have decided not to focus on that, month 2 may just be successful! Woo hoo! OK so lets recap:
Swimmers will be here Feb 5Th- should be inseminating that following sat or sun- will be changing up the timing a bit
last month with current donor
have continued my prenatal vitamins
Gotten all the "cannot do when preggo" stuff out of the way
Now we are just waiting for swimmers to arrive and + opk... then wait again 2 weeks lol
Hmmm seems like a whole lot of waiting waiting and more waiting but it will be worth it.
I think that about covers it for now! So excited for swimmers to come and to "release the swim team" HAHAHA ;) Good thoughts, good eating, good timing... we'll see!

My bro and other...
I really miss my brother, he is my twin after all and we really have spent much or our lives in very close contact, as children and as adults. Although we talk often, being 500 miles away sometimes really takes a toll. He is having house issues like so many people these days except his issue isn't about affording the house its about the idiotic friend he bought it with. Live and learn I guess. We all have been there. He owns half of a house and gets 1/3 roommate rights, these other people destroy and he pays for it. He is tired of living with 2 other people who got married and hate each other, I don't blame him they have a 5 yr old that the gram ma raises (idiots). They plan on letting the house foreclose to get out of it, he no longer can stand to live with them. Its not a healthy environment. It sounds like he plans on cutting his loses and moving into a place of his own in the near future. I wish so much that there were job ops here for him. There simply isn't right now. I would love to have him close again 2 weeks in Dec was so much fun with him around. If I were only closer he could come live with us for a bit until he finds a place he likes however for some reason commute across 3 state lines isn't feasible lol. Oh well. He is one of the smartest people I know we all go through difficult times and I know he will come out of it a stronger person with a big lesson learned, Just not easy to watch.
On another note after a nice weekend, had a drink and relaxed a bit.... I will be placing my order with NW on Wednesday for delivery on the 6Th so close already! Looking forward to another attempt in FEB! Feeling good about it. And just waiting :) Shoot just remembered I better get on it and order some supplies I need! LOL wouldn't that be great Dewar gets here and no supplies on hand woohoo hello. Whelp I should be in bed its nearing midnight now and I have a little June bug who's trend has been to get up way to early!
