Our next peek at Nuggette will be March 22nd. I will be 35w5d. We haven't "seen" her since the 20 week u/s, so we are very excited. This is basically a growth scan to see how big she is and to determine if my April 17th induction date is accurate.
I do have full confidence in my body and in my daughter that she will come before the induction, because that's just how we roll in this house.
Yesterday's appointment was quick (+13 lbs so far this pregnancy). Today I have my weekly NST and we will attend our second child birth class. Tonight is the video watching. Oh joy! /sarcasm.
I am still waiting on a response from my superintendent about the possibility of my BFF giving me a few of her banked sick days. I should hear back from her today or tomorrow. She didn't say "no" though, just, "let me think about it." To me, that was a bit promising. If she allows the sharing of days, my last day of work will be April 1st instead of April 15th. I hope she allows it! Keep those positive thoughts and prayers coming. =)
The office is now completely rearranged and I love it. There are just a couple of house-keeping things that need to be done and this room can be crossed off the to-do list. B also completely cleaned and organized the linen closet, so that is pretty awesome too.
We bought two new vacuums...returned the first one and ended up with a Hoover Windtunnel. We. Love. IT. I didn't even realize our carpets could look like this. Pretty awesome.

Well Lookey Here...
We have crosshairs! (And solid ones at that!)
It looks like we had some perfectly timed insems (minus the first one that was a little premature). I am feeling very good about this cycle. Bring on the BFP!
Today B leaves for VA for a few days to visit her BFF before she deploys to Afghanistan. Please pray for safe travels for B and a safe tour of duty for Sarah. She is one of the sweetest and most gentle people I know and to think of her in a war zone is heart-wrenching. I am so glad B will be able to spend some time with her before she leaves.
B returns very late on Friday night, so I hope her being gone keeps me distracted from this TWW. I think I am going to stop temping after tomorrow. We will see if I can hold out.

2 down, 1 to go
It's CD13 and as of today, we have two inseminations done for this cycle, and one more scheduled for Thursday afternoon. I'm feeling very good about the timing. Also, many signs of luck popped up for me today. We went to Panera for dinner. Our pager number was 33 (my favorite number). Then we went to Rite Aid to pick up some OPKs (using my 2nd $25 gift card from playing the transfer prescription game) and my receipt said I need 33 more points until my next reward. Then, we stopped at Hallmark to kill some time before NKD was ready and they had the most perfect lined journal with inspirational quotes on the bottom of the pages and our little Sprout bird on the cover. I also picked up a package of three positivity bracelets...all at half off. It was a great trip.
In non-ttc news, we went to a Partylite regional hall show yesterday that was Halloween themed. We love Halloween and decorating for Fall, so when given the chance to check out new product, we do. Let me tell you, I felt like I was in an episode of the office. All of these middle-age women SOEXCITEDABOUTCANDLESANDNEWSCENTSANDHALLOWEENANDOHMYGOD! B and I kept looking at ourselves in disbelief. They were so happy and excited, we couldn't help but be happy and excited for them too. One woman had been with the company for 20+ years and they surprised her with her family and gifts and hugs. She was crying, the presenter was crying, and I'm sure there were people in the audience crying too. All of the regional leaders were in costume, as well as some consultants, and many of them took their costume very seriously. Not in the Halloween kind of way, but in the, "how can I relate this to Partylite" way. There were calendars and chefs, and people dressed as dollar bills. I'm pretty sure there was a pimp at the table behind us. I can't describe the experience nearly as well as B, but I had to write it down somewhere for posterity. Needless to say, we left early with our free bag of tea-lights.

Pay it Forward
Today is Pay it Forward Day. Even though everyday should be a "pay-it-forward" kind of day, pay special attention to what you can do today to help someone else. The concept and idea became more of a main stream/pop culture idea when the book (and later the movie) was released.
"You see, I do something real good for three people. And then when they ask how they can pay it back, I say they have to Pay It Forward. To three more people. Each. So nine people get helped. Then those people have to do twenty-seven." He turned on the calculator, punched in a few numbers. "Then it sort of spreads out, see. To eighty-one. Then two hundred forty-three. Then seven hundred twenty-nine. Then two thousand, one hundred eighty-seven. See how big it gets?"So what are you going to do today to change the world?

4dpo
It's 4DPO and too early for symptoms.
We are very hopeful and are treating me as if I am pregnant.
Yesterday we were at some friends' house and they served us some fruit and cheese.
When we left, I said to B. "It was nice of them to serve us those snacks. Especially since in about 3 weeks that is all I will want to eat...unless this pregnancy is different from before."
It's nice to be pregnant again.

Check it out...
Fertility Friend gave me crosshairs this morning and this is what I saw when I scrolled further down the page:
So I am officially in the TWW. I expect to see that positive test in about 10 days!Monday, April 12, 2010
Rockstar
I'm pretty much a rockstar ovulator. When I do it, I do it well!
I got another positive OPK this afternoon. Our timing is impeccable. The last time I had this great timing, I got pregnant with Sprout. Bring on the pregnancy!
Another co-worker announced her pregnancy (I had heard about it last week or the week before, but I dismissed it since we were just at a conference together and she was drinking like a sailor.) Either she didn't know yet, or she's not that bright....I'm guessing it's the first, because she's typically a highly intelligent woman.
So that's two preggos in the school...one due in June, one due in November. (She is due near Thanksgiving, so I am guessing she is only 7ish weeks along...right?) I am guessing another one will be pregnant before the end of the school year (she just got home from her honeymoon last week...and they delayed the honeymoon almost a year after their wedding). Once I join the club, there's going to be fights for the staff bathroom. =)

OPKs
OPKs are relatively dark.
Somedays I wish I had an ultrasound machine.
Or at least a little indicator like on a turkey that pops up when I'm about to ovulate.
NKD comes back into town soonish. (I'm not sure when..but I think sometime this weekend)
However, he is gone more in the next two months than he is here. Bummer.
Perhaps we will have Divine timing.
I am at the Michigan Association of Middle School Educator's conference this week. Last year I attended this conference as well. We got pregnant the weekend after the conference last year...I'm just sayin.. =)

Another one
We are doing another insem this evening. I still haven't had a temp shift, and I am convinced that the positive OPK on CD19 was just a false positive due to my PCOS. I'm expecting another positive OPK today, so the timing should be right on. I don't think this will be a false positive either.
Fun times.
3 cheers for a very accommodating donor!
We are expecting another 4-8 inches of snow tonight (I know it's nothing compared to the snow that has walloped the east coast this winter, but ours was just beginning to melt!) I don't really want a snow day (seeing how I am already out 3 days this week due to meetings), but I really don't want to drive in the nasty weather either. Whatever happens, happens, I guess.
I leave you now with a bible verse from today's Daily Word:
Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.--Mark 11:24

CD14-2nd insem
We did our second insem of this cycle today.
Tomorrow we will do the 3rd. The 4th one is up in the air right now, because I want to see what the monitor and OPKs say.
Today was day 5 of HIGH on the CBEFM. Tomorrow should be day 6 of HIGH, then PEAK....we will see. I can see the lines getting darker on the sticks and the OPKs, but I was kind of hoping to see a positive OPK today. Ah well.
Tomorrow is my first day back from vacation. I know the building will be absolutely freezing, so I will be sure to dress in lots of warm layers. I am proud to work in a very energy efficient district, with one of the only LEED Silver certified high schools in the nation. We take our energy consumption seriously. It's a good thing, except when classrooms flood because pipes freeze. Let's hope we don't have any of that tomorrow.
So far, I am a big fan of 2010, what about you?

Surprised again.
Today is CD10 and I had my first HIGH on the monitor. I have been so concerned and consumed with the Met.for.min side effects that I didn't notice the impending ovulation!
My temps have been wonky because I'm on vacation and not taking them at the same time consistently and the temps in our house have differed greatly each night as well. I have to find the right balance of blankets and furnace heat. (I've now put plastic on some of the windows downstairs and am considering covering some of the windows upstairs...our house is old and poorly insulated.)
If the CBEFM is correct and my body cooperates, I will typically have 6 days of HIGH before the first PEAK. Sometimes I ovulate the night before the PEAK, sometimes I ovulate the day of the first PEAK and sometimes I ovulate on the day of the second PEAK. I will be saving my sticks and OPKs again this month to see the surge. (This worked quite well last month, with a textbook case of ovulation-go me!)
I emailed NKD this morning to check his availability. I am worried with the holiday, he may be out of town. I know his kids start back to school on the 4th though and he usually has them on Mondays, so at the least, I can squeeze a couple in. Hopefully though, we can do one on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th. We will see.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. We will be attending a burning bowl service at our church (which I blogged about last year.) Sadly, our former KD will not be able to share NYE with us, as has been our tradition for the past 5 years, because he lives in Boston now and is already back home. Luckily I was able to spend an afternoon with him while he was here for a short holiday visit.
We are having a small group of people from church come over to ring in the new year with us. Our minister is coming too and will be doing a midnight meditation. How cool are we? We have 2 full time ministers at our church of over 2000, one being Rev. Ric. Ric is openly gay and an all around great person. We are so privileged to call him our friend and are happy to be spending the last moments of 2009 and the first moments of 2010 with him. It's going to be a blue moon and a partial eclipse. What a special NYE!
*edited to add* NKD is available! God love him!

So excited
I'm so excited about this TWW. I am ever hopeful that it will end most perfectly. Today I had my temp shift, so the timing looks like it was perfect. I will continue to temp to confirm ovulation and to keep FF happy!
For those of you that have been reading us for a while, you may remember that on the day we found out we were pregnant with Sprout our van was broken into and someone attempted to steal it. That was the day that my dad was going in for surgery as well, and both of us had to take an unexpected day off.
Yesterday (our EDD for Sprout..and possibly our conception day for this new little Buttercup) was very similar. I loaded up Raiter (B's Vibe) and headed out the driveway to school. I got to the end of our block and the check engine light went on and it nearly stalled. I pressed the accelerator and nothing happened. With the grace of God I was able to coast the car around the block and park in back in front of our house. Previous to this, B and I have been trading off being sick for the past 2 months. She has had most of the sickness. (basic cold/strep/etc.) Anyway, she hadn't slept at all that night (coughing) so she ended up staying home with the car and I took the van to work.
Today it is my turn. I was supposed to have a seminar today, but it was cancelled due to the weather at the last minute yesterday afternoon. Since I would hate to put perfectly good sub plans to waste, I am embracing the opportunity. It really did work out quite well.
My plan for today is to get caught up on grading...my stack is huge and possibly get some dishes done (boy have they been piling up!)

Today is the day...
our 2010 baby was conceived.
I am almost positive.
I have never been more confident on timing than I am today.
OPK was nearly positive yesterday, today's CBEFM stick was nearly PEAK and then I did an OPK at school and it was positive. No doubt about it.
I did an insem after school and will do one more tomorrow after school again.
I also put up the Christmas tree tonight to surprise B. We weren't planning on putting up any decorations, but I had a change of heart. This new found optimism is wonderful.
*edited to add* As of 4:45 this morning...we have a PEAK reading!

Surprise...
I got my first high on the monitor this morning.
Yesterday's OPK was darker than I expected.
If last cycle was anovulatory...and I don't really know if it was or not...will I ovulate earlier this time?
I am doing all I can to convince my brain that I am not already pregnant and the weird bleeding (def. not a normal period) I had was just regular early pregnancy spotting. I know this is not true, but TTC minds play terrible tricks on us. After seeing the dark OPK yesterday, I even googled "opk as hpt" I know there is a simple way to prove my brain wrong, but I refuse to use my last hpt in the house because it is an "expensive" one. I'm so crazy.
Ugh.
Also, I am still coughing, but my fever has broken! After 10 days of a fever, I am happy to be done with it. However, B is now coughing too, which makes bed-time fairly hard. We were both up last night hacking away. Today she leaves for a conference up north. Just one night, but I will miss her. Send her safe travel vibes and wishes for no snow.

Shooting Stars
As I was driving to work, I was thinking and praying, as I often do. I saw a license plate that said JM4...since my initials are JM, I said to God, "4 would be too many, 1 or 2 would be great, or 3 at the very most." (I play anagram games with license plates all the time...dorkish, I know.)About a minute later, I saw a shooting star, and then another.
I have seen maybe 4 shooting stars in my entire life..and then to see two this morning, right after each other. Either my eyes/brain are playing tricks on me, or it was just a little miracle.
I think our timing on this cycle is impeccable. I believe we will officially be in the TWW tomorrow....we will see though!

Looking to the future
I am feeling very confident about this cycle. We will not have timing issues or medical issues to deal with (God-willing), and this won't be a third Hail-Mary pass. Everything will work out perfectly.
These past few days have been a bit crazy in our world. It is our state's standardized testing window (which provides it's own stress-not to mention the 20% of kids we have out sick with the Swine Flu), I had 2 late nights of conferences and B had a workshop at work. Add on top of that our Sprout anniversary, Infant Loss Remembrance Day, and the arrival of AF and I was happy to be so busy.
I called my mom on Thursday. She said that at cards (my mom is in a card club that meets once a week) one of her old lady friends came in with a bag. When my mom asked what it was, she said, "Isn't your daughter due in December?" (The lady goes to Florida from October - May) My mom explained what happened and tried to get her to take it back. She said no and told my mom to keep it for when we do get pregnant again. The woman crocheted us a baby blanket! How sweet. It made my mom cry and almost made me cry too. I can't wait to see it.
Today is full of housework, since the house has been neglected while we have been working. When B gets home from work we are going to go see the Hangover at the cheap show with some friends. Should be a pretty mellow evening, just how I like it, especially after a crazy week.

Austin, TX
Well we got here last night, right before the thunder and lightening. Apparently it hasn't rained in weeks, and when we arrive, the sky opened up. Coincidence? hehehehe.
Anyway, we decided to do the trip in two days of driving, instead of 3. It didn't make sense to stop driving at 4 everyday, so we just plowed through. Now I have an extra day in Austin. Woot!
I had a temp shift yesterday morning (CD16)...now remember that we did the insem on CD14. If I was only temping, I would be excited about our timing on this Hail Mary pass...however, I am also using OPKs and the CBEFM. Yesterday (CD16) I got a positive OPK and today (CD17) I got a peak on the monitor. FF is suggesting I will ovulate tomorrow (CD18), which would be such a long time for those swimmers to stay alive. I have had fertile cm....but this really is a shot in the dark. God has perfect timing and there is Divine Order in my life.
Speaking of God (jeez...what a segue..ha!), I am making A drive me to Unity Center today so I can walk and see the labyrinth. Woot! Other than that, I don't know what is on the schedule. I do believe we are going to the LBJ museum tomorrow and possibly shopping on Saturday. I leave bright and early on Sunday.

333 post
33 is my favorite number. It reminds me of how I am blessed. It all stems back to high school, when I was in youth group. I still love the number. Today is our 333rd post. We are blessed.
Tomorrow marks 10 weeks. I still "feel" pregnant and have my same symptoms (of varying degree and occurrence), but our next appointment is not until Thursday, May 28th.
I am trying to appreciate each day of this pregnancy. Once we saw Sprout and the heartbeat, I was able to enjoy it a little more. Then we hit 9 weeks. Something about 9 weeks helped me to let my guard down a little more. And now we are entering our 10th week. All signs point to baby, but I still have this giant wall of worry.
I think the 12 week mark will knock much of that wall down. I know I will be worrying for the rest of my life, but I am almost sure a few blocks will tumble at the end of this month.

Friends and Family
I have some friends (both online and IRL) and some family that could use all of the love and positive energy you could muster. If you are the praying type, please keep them in your prayers that they can find peace and acceptance in their current situations.
