Oh mo!!!!!

Daughter can say "no" quite well. But for some reason she thinks the expression is "oh mo!!!!!"

We think it's pretty cute.

Big girl bed!

And a couple of play dates :)

big girl bed

We switched Daughter over to a big girl bed last week.  It's going really well!

We need to get the crib out of her room, because she's on the trundle bed (less distance to fall).  When the trundle is out, the day bed is still there, as well as her play tent, piano, dresser, and crib.  It's really crowded!

Next step: potty training!

Oh, and she's getting her 2 year molars. Fussy to the fuss degree!!!  My goodness... I thought we'd seen fussy. 

We went to a friends birthday party At ChuckECheese and she fussed whenever she was not allowed to play the game she wanted at that moment. 

Got one cute pic though....

It's hard

It's hard to see babies and think that we'll never have another.  At the same time, I love seeing babies because they're so adorable and fun...

I have nagging doubts in the back of my head.  I *know* that they aren't the reasons God didn't give us a genetic sibling for Daughter, but they still nag me...

What if I'm not a good enough mother?
Are we being punished for refreezing one excellent embryo at the March transfer?
What if God doesn't want us to homeschool?
What if I won't be able to handle more than one child?

I know it's all nonsense... but it still nags at the back of my brain.

We're looking into our options.  Traditional adoption...

My conference call with Dr Keenan was Thursday.  He said he doesn't know why I haven't gotten pregnant and that it could be the changes in my body since having Daughter.  He said we could go back for a 4th attempt if we used the "special needs" embryos.  We decided against it, for now.  I really don't think that I can get pregnant again.

Not pregnant.

Not pregnant.

Negative beta

I tested Friday and Sunday... so I knew. 

Still hard.

This didn't get published last week for some reason....  Written last Wednesday. 

We're all sick. Mat, daughter, me...

We all went to urgent care last night and had ear infections and red throats (the rapid strep test was negative). 

So we all got antibiotics. 

I had emailed Lynda earlier in the day asking which antibiotics would be ok to take if I needed any. She said any antibiotics that are safe for first trimester. 

The nurse practitioner seemed very interested in embryo adoption. She asked us loads of questions and seemed really pleased that it existed. :)

So today Daughter and I are taking it easy... Mat is at work but still feeling lousy. 

Here's a cute pic of Daughter with one of her TN souvenirs :)

Thanksgiving cousin fun

All of my pics are of the kids... Mostly just two of the kids!

Hey grandma... What's this big colorful thing?

Daughter helping to sweep so the bouncy house could go up. 

Hehehe

Mmmmm. Pizza!

I didn't cramp at all today!  Woot!

Slight nausea, some itty bitty boob soreness.  Exhaustion... Overheating easily (in a 68* house!)... Extreme hunger. 

Today I took a 1.5 hour nap. So nice!

****TMI alert****

Last night I had some watery discharge. That's new...  Mat researched it and he said it's fine and maybe even a good sign.

Are these symptoms of the hormones I'm on?  Possibly. But it's nice to be PUPO and have symptoms :)
