THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU ARE TOO AFRAID TO GET A NEGATIVE ON YOUR OPK:

1. Wonder if every twinge or pain in your lower abdomen is from ovulation.
2. Clean the bathroom.
3. Google every possible symptom that could mean you are ovulating.
4. Mop the kitchen floor.
5. Watch last weeks episode of Jon and Kate plus eight.
6. Eat a whole pizza by yourself because you just know you have all the signs that you googled and you will need the extra calories very soon.
7. Count your days AGAIN on the calendar just in case you screwed up the last 100 times you counted them.

No, I never went a bought a kit. If I get a negative I will just be in denial. Maybe I will get one tomorrow...maybe I won't Maybe I will just wait for a few weeks and see what happens.

Back from Florida

I am happy to say that I am home! I have been for about a week now, but I haven't had enough energy to sit in front of the computer and try to put together something interesting for you all. Florida was fun, a bit chilly, but way better than the below zero temperatures home, here in Illinois. Before leaving for Florida everyone insisted on informing me that "it's going to be cold down there". Now, why would you not just want to be happy for someone going on a vacation? Why would you want to try and convince someone that they are going to have a terrible time? I just kept saying "warmer than here!" and called them jealous under my breath. Despite all the comments about the weather I had a great time sleeping in every morning and taking my time getting around and not having to worry about anything except what I was going to eat that day for a whole entire week! It was in the 50s during the day at the beginning of the trip and gradually warmed up through ...

My heart condition

I know I have briefly mentioned my heart condition in my blog before. I told how with my pregnancies there was a very small chance of it being passed down genetically. Fortunately that didn't happen. I am the only one in my family that has this or any type of structural heart defect. It's called Transposition of the Great Arteries, now referred to as Transposition of the Great Vessels. It's a congenital defect and there is no explanation for why it happens at this time. The defect happens while the heart is developing in the very early stages of life. The abnormality is very severe and is not compatible with life. So shortly after the baby is born he/she will need open heart surgery to correct the abnormality. This is a normal heart. This picture shows the circulation of blood. Below I have a picture of a normal heart compared to a heart with Transposition of the Great Arteries. Here you can see the structural differences. This defect does not allow the oxygena...

Hello September

I can't believe it's September! So close to Fall. This time of year is one of my favorites. Of course, Fall in South Texas is not the Fall I am used to being from the Midwest. Football isn't the same if you're not freezing your buns off in the stands, holding a cup of hot cocoa just try stay warm. It reminds me of marching band practice and the fall festival in my hometown. Funnel cakes and potato gunfights. Freshly pulled taffy and the Ferris wheel that was always scary but the best view in town. And who can have the Fall without the beautiful changing leaves! My goal this year is to make it up to North Texas where I hear the leaves do change colors. And call me crazy, but I think this will be the first year I really jump on the pumpkin spice train. I like pumpkin but never really understood the whole craze around the pumpkin spice. But I made me some pumpkin pancakes the other day and I was definitely craving more after they were go...

The little time we have...
