Lesson Plans to Baby Carriages

Hello ALL,

Thanks a ton for all the well wishes for my next cycle. I had picked my donor and when I went to make the purchase...WHAM! I changed my mind at the last minute to a different donor. Why? Who the Hell knows....just a gut feeling. So much for over analyzing Donor qualities. Well, I am just happy to be back in the game. I am currently pulling for my TWW Blog Buddies.....hey and TAMMY - I hope this is YOUR time! If my cycle follows normal patterns for me I should be be doing the AI's on 3/17 & 3/18. Guess only time will tell. In the meantime I have 1 three day meeting in Orlando that I HAVE to stay at. It will be good but I honestly don't feel like another Meeting..certainly when this overnight adventure is only 15 minutes from my house!!! Oh, well such is life. I was looking at my calendar and if I get a BFP this cycle I will give birth right before Christmas. Oh, Joy. LOL! Funny enough whenever I get PG I will not be telling anyone at my job until about 14 weeks or longer if I am not showing too much. WHY? Because that is just how I am and I am not into "hovering." To be honest in my opinion women have been having babies everyday with and without help for centuries. I know some of our staff will immediately treat me like a fragile egg....like I can't still make big decisions with the Big Boys because I am "with child." No matter how far we come....ladies STILL have to come against this mentality in the workplace....Like because I am PG I would burst into tears at the drop of a hat. BESIDES, I am a smart lady...even if I wanted to, I would go into my office and shut the door for a melt down.
We really have to put up with alot, Ladies!!!

I agree with Chelle, My schedule lately has been INSANE!!!!! I am fairing fairly well, somehow. I love productive NETWORKING. I am of course out of town but this is the last extended Conference for quite awhile. 2 overnight events in March that are MANDATORY but after that...weehaw! I am glancing through Donors, etc and attempting to get my ducks in a row. I am hoping and praying that my March AI attempt works. If not, life will go on but geesh I am ready!
I wanted to take a moment to send LOVE and HAPPY *sticky* Vibes to Michelle and Nick.........the just found out their IVF cycle has yielded a BFP!!!! I am over the moon for those two. They have been through so much and Michelle is young and very healthy and it has just been so frustrating I am sure for them. Well, they have crossed the finish line and I am thrilled for you!!! Now, be safe, be careful during your move abroad and keep in touch. I can't handle not hearing from you...I WILL go into withdrawl lady!
I wanted to take a moment to talk about Pregnancy and Obesity. I have a friend that has had problems getting pregnant....she has even had 3 IVF cycles and has Miscarried every BFP she received. Her Dr. keeps saying...lose weight, lose weight. She had to go to 5 Dr's before she found one that would do her IVF...they said no due to weight. Anyway, I just feel so bad for my friend...in my heart I don't think weight is the ONLY obstacle. I mean I have 2 other friends over 300lbs that have each had kids..unmedicated with NO problem..period. Each person is individual and each person has unique situations. WHY, does the medical field often try and treat ALL women the same! It is a crying shame.
Well....have a great Sunday everyone! To my TTC ladies...keep on keeping on!

Hello my Friends,

Needless to say things have been hectic and busy right now. God does in fact work in mysterious ways. I am at the hotel now finally able to decompress and read blogs and update mine. I have been on 4 YES 4 Work Conferences since December. This is NOT usual for me but I was chosen at our school system to be one of a team of educators representing our County to several Conferences for up to 4 months. I LOVE meeting and speaking with new people, school systems and hearing other ways of touching our youth, However, I would NOT and could not do all this traveling with a child or if my Mom was feeling worse. Soon, I will be finished and back to staying in my own neck of the woods. I love adventure but with age and increased responsibility, I admit, traveling doesn't hold quite the appeal it used to. Amazing how that happens, isn't it?

I am sad because in the midst of all of it..I will miss my Blog buddy C, and her family.....I sure wanted to hug Ethan. Alas, after MUCH attempting time wise I just can't. Next time I hope it works out.....come back to Florida please!

The Incredible news is that due to some unexpected positive "gifts" I am back to charting/tempting and will be finally updating my tickers. Better news is that I am spotting now, about ready to start my period. After that I am tempting the cycle, calling the Sperm Bank, ordering the goods and Getting BACK on the AI Horse in March for certain. I am sooooooo Happy. I know I don't share that everyday and every minute but if you get to know me, that is just how I am. Sometimes when I want something the MOST, I speak about it the least as that tactic somehow helps my sanity. I am praying for MARCH to yield my BFP but I will take it day by day. I thought about saying, hell with it and doing it this cycle but, I had stopped charting and tempting for awhile and now I need at least 1 cycle to observe the body vibes.

Looks like I need to buy some new OPK's and fire up the HPT's for March.

Well, I am tired and need to say goodnight....I'll try to post more now that my Laptop is fixed again and I am back to being Mobile in my Hotel room! Thank God!

My schedule puts me back home tomorrow.....home for 3 days, gone for 6, back for 2 and gone for about 4-5 more and then I am D_O_N_E!!!!!!!!!

The Teacher lady says........Hells Yeah!!!
