May pregnancy update

We are saying no baby this month. I was high on the monitor for 10 straight days. I got my progesterone levels checked and I ovulated but not a good one. I was 37.7 last time and only 7.3 this time. I have no idea where to go from here. We are going to press on. Lewis will take his semen annalists tomorrow and we are just waiting of aunt flow to try for another month.

Thanks for all that are praying.

Weekend to Remember, Thanks MOM

My mother gave us the greatest present, well she says it was for Lewis birthday but man I/we enjoyed it so much. She let us go away for the weekend, the holiday weekend so she has the boys for 3 days. My boys are at an age that they are not easy. They are active and all over the place. They wear me out. So this was the greatest gift we could have been given.


We went to Brazos Bend State Park. We were so impressed with this park. We got there late, around 9:30 Friday night and they were still open, this is a first, usually all state parks are closed my 5:00, I have even seen them lock the doors while people are walking up. But they were open and very friendly. We got sight 128, Actually this is the sight Lewis picked out of three sights and of course I picked a different one. When we got to the sights I called right away and changed to sight 128. Its was a great sight, completely covered in trees. There were several places to put a large tent like ours. We put it of and plugged in the super fan and AC unit. HEE HEE yes I said AC unit, it was great in the 90 degree heat and froze us out at night time, which made for good sleeping.

We got up the next day to a quite sun rise, what am I kidding, sun rise more like 9 because I had to go to the bathroom, hee hee. We loved just not having to plan everything around meals and sleep times. We got up and ate lunch and finished setting up everything. We then decided to go to the movies, yes movies while we are camping. The air was so thick and sticky and it was going to get up to 95 that day. So to the movies we went. We found this great ice cream shop on the way and stopped and has a great cone, turns out they are #1 in Houston, we ended up eating there every day. We watched two movies Indiana Jones and What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. His pick and my pick, I went out to the truck and got our DP's and snacks out of the car and put them in the back pack to where we did not have to buy anything else. We did get a thing of recess. We just enjoyed out time together. It took us a while to relax and let go. But when we did it was great. There was no bickering or frustration and no bad luck.

After the movies, we went back to the camp sight it was about 9:45 and we decided to eat dinner and go for a walk. We had only a flash light that was going dead, but the path that we wanted to walk on was lit. When we got to the water part of the path the frogs the sound of the frogs was over whelming. The lightning bugs, looked like stars in the trees. It was so great. WE were all alone. Then all the pathway lights changed to red, I said HHHHHHHHMMMMMMM wonder why. We keep walking and found the observatory. They were so nice they let us look through these huge telescopes. We saw Saturn twice and a globular cluster of stars. I had ever seen so many stars. It was so cool. We ended up going to bed around 1 I think or two.

We got up the next morning and it was a wonderful morning. We took showers and ate lunch then went for a hike. I dont really know how many miles we hiked that day but it was the greatest. We talked about so much, it was nice to reconnect with Lewis.

On our Hikes, we saw 9 alligators and a Coral snake, yes Lewis tried to touch it and did and I freaked out. I did not want a hospital visit. We moved on quickly.

One part it sounded like a zoo with so many different wild life sounds it was just great.

We are forever grateful for this time we got together. Thank you mom, for the perfect present.

Update and frustration

Well we had an ultrasound today. We have one egg developing, ONE. Well, the doc has no idea why we have been ovulating for 5 months now and still no baby. She is testing Lewis sperm count after this time. We are banded from sex till we see a high and peak, to get the count as high as possible. (Sorry is its TMI) Then she will check my tubes and do Artificial insemination next after this month. We are on day 15 and should ovulate on day 18 which is Monday, we are crossing our fingers for a baby girl or a healthy baby boy.


On a side note, I am so sick of people close to me saying you are just stressing about it too much or if you just quite trying it will happen. GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRR

We have not taken any Birth control for 6 years now. We had help getting pregnant with the boys, and I was really stressing trying for our first, I am not stressing as much now because I already have two perfect children. We are just wanting a bigger family, four kids, and I will need help with every one. I am not stressing and it will not happen on its own. I am just tired of people telling me this. GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR

OK I am off my soap box

Kyle and the Lotion

Growing up

My boys have grown so much this past two weeks its unreal. Last week Kenneth and Kyle learned to ride their bikes. Its so great to see them with their matching helmets and bikes riding around and doing so good. They have only fell down a couple of times. But they are so good. Kenneth learned to swing all by himself, he just got out there and pumped his legs and did it. He was not being pushed, or anything. I am so proud of him, They are getting too big too fast.

Kyle finally has figured out how to use the big potty. I wish we could turn back the hands of time and never take almost a year to try to potty train my boys. They both potty trained on their own. Kenneth potty trained 3rd week of Dec (2007) and Kyle now I guess started a week ago. He wore big boys pants all day today, including eating lunch at the park, playing, going to Daddy's work, going to the movies, going to Grandmas house for dinner. NOT one accident. I am so proud. I am so happy. We only have one more thing I would love for them to learn before the new baby comes, well two, getting dressed and getting in and out of their car seat. I am sure we can do this.

This week we will have daddy's 29th birthday. I got him a mini-fridge for work. I will make him something good to eat and probably bake him a cake. Thats about it. I would love to get him some new work clothes. Maybe I will. I am not sure. He is so wonderful to me, I have to do something for him.

Mother's day was today, we have has such a great weekend. He has cooked every meal and let me sleep in both days. The one is no shocker, he lets me sleep in every Saturday, I am so spoiled. We went to the pool, had a picnic lunch, went to the movies, enjoyed the outside. The weather was PERFECT!!!!!!! I could not have asked for a better weekend. I have to plan something special for him. HHHHHHMMMMMMM

With a pregnancy update: Today is day 10 for the 6th try. I will have an ultrasound on the 15th (Friday) to see what is going on. Hopefully I will know something more definite then. Lewis is going to go with me and my mom is watching the kids. I so wish to have another child, I want a girl so bad I can just taste it. I already have her name picked out, her bedding, her room paint, her car seat everything. I have also been toying around with the idea of sewing her dresses. I so wish to have my girl. If I got pregnant today, I could have a valentines baby. That would be a great present.

Well, thats all the good news.
Till next time,
Tracie

God timing is perfect
