on the train again

today is 1dpo after our month break. we are having a lot of breaks lately.. lol.. but that is ok, it will happen when it is time for it to happen :) My temp hiked WAY high today.. lol.. so i know that i ovulated yesterday. here's hoping this one takes :D

i want to say a special congrats to michelle and nick. i'm so thrilled for them! i hope this baby/babies stick and they will have a wonderful, happy and healthy new life in guam

not much else is going on here with us. Busy with homeschooling cody and keeping up with our store. lol.. did i mention we have an online store too? www.allthingspride.com (bad laine, bad! shameful plug..lol) This weekend we are going to tampa for their winter pride festival. so if anyone is in the area pop on over and say HI to us ..

we're back!

we are back and we had a great time! i have decided i want to LIVE on a cruise ship! we met a lot of great ladies on the cruise and made some great friends. Everyone on the ship was just wonderful, helpful and made the cruise a great experience. We went to nassau bahamas, it was gorgeous there. however, we only got off the ship for a few hours as there are a lot of people in nassau that hover you wanting you to buy stuff from them, lol.. Below are a few pictures..

BON VOYAGE

WELL,tomorrow we go on the cruise. :D yay, i will come back sunday with lots of great stories, i'm sure!
on the ttc front, i ovulated 5 days earlier than normal so we missed it and were not able to try this month, but that is ok. now i can drink a pina colada on the ship and not feel guilty :D
I also want to give an extra hug to tammy w and to cindy f. they have both had a rough week or two and so i just wanted to send out a virtual hug for them! big warm fuzzy huggy woo woo's.
BON VOYAGE!

well, af came a few days ago so i'm now on cd3. blah! oh well, i'm not going to concern myself being upset about it this cycle cause we only have 18 days till teh cruise i'll probably be in the tww during teh cruise, which means a stress free tww, which is always a good thing.. yay!

today is 10dpo, i have cramps and for the past two days my breasts have been so sore on the sides, so this morning i looked at them and darn if there isnt a bruise on both of them on the outter side. apparently the bra i had on a few days ago didnt agree with my tata's! lol.. I am really expecting af to come within the next 4 days. i'm bummed :( but, the good news is that tami and i are going on our cruise in only 24 days. it seems like we have been waiting forever, we booked it in june! YAY.. so, that is something to look forward to, and hey, if i'm not PG then i will be able to enjoy a yummy pina colada while looking out at the ocean while on the ship :D yay!
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe new years!!!! HAPPY 2008!

update

stupid blog. i just typed the blog and then it dissappeared.. so i will type it again.. bugger. lol.. today is 8dpo, i dont feel much of anything other than heartburn, and sometimes i get heartburn, so that is not unusual. My temps are not doing anything out of the ordinary. here is my chart http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/46065

we are in North Carolina visiting tami's mom and her husband and some of her aunts that live here. We got here thursday and will be going back home tomorrow.

baby dust to all, i hope everyone is having a good holiday season!

hop aboard the train. choooo choooooooooooo

I'm on the geritol train. they say there is a baby in every bottle, we shall see :) nasty icky taste, but i figure it is vitamins so it can't hurt to try!
Just got a very very positive opk. hoping tonight we will inseminate, since we are using fresh it should hang around for a few days and wait for the eggie! i'm very excited to be ttc again after the few months we had off.
i hope you are all having a great holiday season!!!! and i hope you all get what you wish for :) me? i'm wishing for a bfp this month!

baby dust donations being accepted. we accept visa, mastercard, amex, discover, pay pal and we also accept donations through magic wands! :D
update: we are not doing ici tonight, we are doing it tomorrow night.. i usually ovulate 48 hours after first positive opk so we should be good with tomorrow, wish luck :D
