Pity Party

Still trying to survive May here!  Keeping up with blog peeps the best I can mostly with my iphone but it is really hard to comment so I have some catch up to do!  A lot of posts lately are about baby #2... whether that baby is here or about to be, or whether that baby has just been discovered or TTC plans are in the works. 

I have to admit something.  I've had a bit of a pity party lately.  PC and I both agree -strongly- on closing the door of infertility treatments and the physical, emotional and financial toll that comes along with it.  But it just sucks to think that those cards were dealt to me and, if I had a normal reproductive system, who knows... we also might also be talking about baby #2.   

Then I am quickly brought to the reality of going through an IVF that produced very few follicles and only two good eggs, one of which became a dream come true.  And I'm annoyed that I had a pity party in the first place.  I am so happy.  I am so in love with our LB and we are having a blast.  I am also just being honest and having to go through a kind of "letting go" phase.  Guess what?  Yep... infertility still sucks!!!  

Tired!

A hamster got loose in my car Monday morning.  I finally found it in the back seat crawling under a blanket, ugh.  I had to call 911 the same day because a pit bull came on campus and scared a visitor who grabbed it by its ears and was scared to let go while we waited on the police.  Yesterday I got pulled over (by the same police officer who helped with the dog situation) for speeding because I was running late to get a root canal appointment.  I told the officer I was sorry, I knew better and I was on my way to the dentist office and I could not decide which was worse- the dentist or a ticket.  At least he found some humor in that -or maybe felt sorry for me- and gave me a warning.  I am so tired!  It is only Wednesday?

Vanilla flavored gas that "takes the edge off."  Fyi, did not take enough edge off! 

In toddler times, we have a very active little boy who is making his likes and dislikes known loud and clear.  One of the cutest things going on right now is LB calling out a handful of letter names.  I have to give a shout out to the "person" responsible because unfortunately it's not me...thanks to Alpha.Pig!  We watch too much kid t.v. around here.  Guilty and I admit it.  But the show S.uper W.hy has this little boy excited about letters and it is so cute to hear him shout out "A", "Eeee", "Ohhh" and my favorite to hear... M "Eem!"  However, we do turn the t.v. off to get outdoors and stalk the dogs whenever we can.  :]
