| I just finished reading Hannah's Hope which is a wonderful book on seeking God in the midst of infertility. If you are close to me, please read it. It will help you understand me better and give insight to the pain and suffering Charlie and I are going through. Here is the website Hannah's Prayer Ministry. It's wonderful. http://www.hannah.org/ My heart is heavy, and I'm feeling the need not too write to much as to not rant or be too depressing. Cilla | | |
| Tid Bits It was back to the real world today. Surprisingly though, I was ready to get up at 6 this morning. I took a dose of Nyquil due to stupid sinuses.... I hope that it will pass quickly! My car is all better. It has no lights on in the dash, and dude it has some serious power now... Must watch the speed thing when I get to drive.... I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my family over the holiday. I have the best aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, nieces, nephews, in-laws, and husband ever. I very much so enjoy being part of a large family. Yes, it is hectic at times, but it's so worth it! My hair is finally growing past my shoulders. It's not at that annoying stage anymore. Comes on blonde hairs.... keep growing. I went in for blood work today to see if I truly ovulated. We shall see. Last cycle my levels nearly tripled so hopefully they'll be just as high if not higher. :) I will find out results tomorrow. I'm watching Elf again. It's a great movie to lift spirits! Alright, that's about all. I'm going to snuggle up with my blanket and watch my movie.... Oh and sip some egg nog. YUMMO! Hope you all have a wonderful week! 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I got a call from my R.E. today that I did indeed ovulate for the 2nd month in a ROW! That's amazing in Cillaland. That's a magical land where the body does what it's supposed to and makes you happy. Sho nuff. Anyway, we will pray even harder for a Little Leonard :) Cilla | | |
| Bullet Update - We got a fireplace! LOVE it! It's electric, but still super pretty! Now hopefully someone will buy our piano and entertainment center on Craigslist!
- The Christmas tree is up with over 1,000 color light, and a gazillion ornaments. I'm sure many people would barf at the sight of our tree because we don't do a theme.... Color lights, and ornaments from childhood - now = a happy camper! I got a lot of ornaments from the kids last year. I smiled a lot when decorating!
- We had a wonderful trip to the Birmingham area to visit our great friends Jenn & John! My how I wish we lived closer. And I used to think our dorm rooms were far apart... I can't wait to get together with them again soon:)
- Thanksgiving break from school = YAAAAAAAAAAAAY
- Have I mentioned that the fireplace is lovely? Especially with stockings hung!
- I will have 0 restrictions on my license. I can't wait to get my paperwork back from the state so I can take my test!
- I've wrapped a few gifts so far. I must get more done today.
- I'm babysitting Carter again tomorrow. I love him so much! I love how he reaches for me now and just loves on me. Happy, happy Aunt!
- I'm thankful that my fertility meds for this cycle are finished. They. are. a. doosey. Thankful that the extreme emotions and sickness have mostly passed.
- I miss my mama. I must get in some mama time soon. I love her, and take it as a complete compliment when someone accidently calls me Rose or says I'm just like her :) I'm a proud mama's girl :)
- Can't wait to do some more couponing tonight!
- Emotions are..... not my friend anymore. I should probably ask for tissues for Christmas.

| A better Day I went to see my RE today for a checkup. Things are looking like they should. I should ovulate within 5 days if my body doesn't decide to be a big ole faker. She said that my uterine lining looked better! WOOT for thicker uterine linings.... better for an embryo to implant in! We discussed how I did on the 200 mg. of Clomid. It was rough; I won't even lie. BUT, I told her if it works, I'll take it as many times as I need to for a Little Leonard! He or she will be so worth all the migraines, hot flashes, lack of sleep, and hurting. SOOOOO worth it. I enjoyed spending time with Mama again today. It's extremely rare that I see her 2 times within 6 days. I didn't want her to go today. I actually got all weepy about it. Thank you hormones. Anyway, Mama is a fantastic spaz, but I've turned into her.... I'm just the "whitie" version. HA! Driver's Ed starts in 3 DAYS! Holy mackerel! I can't wait to get behind the wheel of my car again. I could be a licensed driver in as little as 1 month folks! WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO! Welcome freedom!!!!!!!! We've been decluttering A LOT to make our house more sellable. It's kind of nice to not have crap everywhere too! I sent a ton of stuff with Mama to drop off at the resale shop. I hope we make some big bucks! That'll definitely help to save for IVF! Woot! I have had so much fun with my kids this week for red ribbon week! I think I get more into it than they do. Any reason to dress up is WAY cool! Tomorrow is pajama day! I'm SO excited!!!!!!!!!!! I'm goin' all out with the robe and house shoes baby! Alrighty, I'm off to get ready for choir! Cilla | | |
| Changes We heard back from The Cade Foundation that out of the 121 families who applied for an IVF grant, we weren't chosen. No reason why was included, but I wish I knew why. Oh well. There are 2 other organizations to apply for grants. One becomes available in December and the other in May. We'll be applying for those as well if we're not pregnant yet. It is so hard to not walk around like a zombie some days... It's just really, really hard. We've been discussing selling our house and moving into a smaller house for about a year. We feel led to take that step. We're hoping that this house won't be on the market as long as our first house was. We will now be able to move outside the city (but not too far) since I'll be able to drive. This will be an exciting yet stressful time for us. With God as our guide, we'll make it! :) I start driver's ed. in 6 days. I'm nervous. Not because of the newness, but because of my age and disability. I hope I don't get picked on and such. I dealt with that in high school and even some in college. I just pray that the others in my class are receptive to a 27 year old chick being in there. Carter is growing so fast! We haven't seen him as much lately, but I knew he remembered me when I pick him up and he started head butting me. He started this with me this past Easter, and he's done it with me ever since. He head butts me and busts out laughing! I think he likes it when I say OOOOWWWW! Little cutie batootie. I have a precious husband. I'm so blessed to have him as my better half. I need to go plan my outfits for Red Ribbon Week :) Have a great week ya'll! Cilla | | |
