Last night we had a lock-in at the church for the youth. It was very tiring, but fun. We had a few youth show up and they had a great time. We played wii, xbox 360, and they had a bunch of snacks. I crashed at about 12am and then the rest of them crashed around 4:30am! Lol. We woke up and had pop tarts.
Ive been busy getting everything ready for our vacation. I cant wait-I absolutly cant wait!! I just know that it will be good for us to get away and have time together. Im also praying we will come back w/ a little souvenir ;-)
On the ttc (trying to conceive) front. Nothing really. Thur night was my last night of Femara-Thank God!!! I didnt know how many more headaches I could take from it. I hope that it all works out!
That's about all. Nothing else going on.

New results :)
Oh-I meant to say. At my dr apointment on Sun, my nurse re-did my day 3 blood levels. She checked my prolactin and FSH. Prolactin was originally high (I think it was like 30-40) and when she measured it on Sun it was 10!!!! YAY!!! I think anything under 20 is good. I was on meds for it, but I forgot to get a refill and hadnt been taking it for 6 months or longer-lol. So... Im excited to have somthing looking normal! HAHA. My FSH was normal too-she didnt tell me the levels, but she said everything looked normal :) YAY! So thats my good news for the day!!
Im still taking my Femara, today is the 3rd day. So far so good. Im not even getting a mid cycle ultrasound this time around :) I cant wait to see what God does this month!!! If I dont get pregnant, I will still have a great plan for the next coming months.
Travis put up a new ceiling fan in the living room today. We've actually had it for about a year, but he just now got time to put it up. It looks great!!! (I will have to add a pic later) and I love how it matches-Lol. We put the old one in the "blue" room (soon to be "orange" room). We have 2 white ones, and one is going in the "baby" (or "green") room. and the other is going up as I type this, in the bedroom-YAY.
We ate our first 2 cucumbers from the garden tonight w/ our salads. I was soo excited!!! They were really good. We have about 2 more that look like they are almost ready! The peppers are finally coming along, they are a little slow. I think the zuchini will be next, I think we have about 2-3 that are starting to come up (again, pics will come later-lol) but I cant wait! Im sooo glad we got some cucumbers-lol. (even if it was just the 2, sooo worth it!)
Other than that, nothing going on. I have the "towel/bathing suit" bag packed for our trip and we have most of the food that we are taking w/ us, together. i cant wait to just get away. I think that Trav is going to pay for me to have a massage done :) I really need one, but Im sort of leary-lol.
That's about all..

One week from today :)
YAY!!! One week from today we will be in Pigeon Forge in a nice cabin!!! YAY!!!
here is the link for where we are staying:
http://www.amazingviewsofthesmokies.com/EscapiaPages/Property-Details.aspx?unitCode=1436-43419
Looks pretty great, huh. Lol. I just want to get away and not have any worries. I will miss my babies at daycare, and my Oreo and Vince.
I had a great day off work today. I cleaned like never before. I cleaned out both rooms, the green one and the blue one. Im hoping to have the blue one done soon so that I can start painting it. Im about tired of that blue color! Lol. I love my green one though :)
I was so excited, I went to water my garden and there was a zuchinni growing!! (2 of them actually) I was so excited. I forgot to take a pic of it though, I will have to later. My cucumbers are about ready to pick. (2 of them and many more are growing)the peppers are slow. This is exciting. I cant wait to grow more next year. I think I will try one more shot at tomatoes. Here is on my list for next summer (yeah, a little early) Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers (if they ever grow) zuchinni, squash, lettuce (looks pretty easy to grow) watermelon, canteloupe and idk what else. Lol.
That was a pretty random post, sorry about all that.

Happy 4th of July!!!
Happy 4th of July!!! I hope its a great one :)
My dr apointment went great. Very quiet ovaries-which is what I wanted to see/hear! I start on Femara (5mg) tonight and take it on days 3-7. We will try on our own this month and if it happens then AWESOME! If not, its okay. Sort of like a break month for us. We will be going on vacation soon, so hopefully that will do us some good :)
My plan IF I dont get pregnant in July is to do another injections/iui round in Aug. I will start out by doing 150iu of Follistim and then iui. IF that produces too many follicles, then I will be sent to the hospital and they will aspirate all but 3 follicles. I will do an iui w/ the 3 follicles. The ones they aspirate will be frozen and used for Sept (IF I dont get pregnant in Aug) IF I dont get pregnant in Aug, they will thaw out my eggs and put Trav's sperm into them and do a transfer (sort of like an ivf cycle or I guess a FET cycle) The aspiration and freezing will cost about $1,000 and IF we need it, the transfer and injection of trav's sperm will be about $2,500. So that's not bad. The reason its so cheap is bc its sort of like a clinical trial type thing. They have a new freezing machine thing and they are trying it out. They have had great success w/ the eggs that have been thawed out (all the women have gotten pregnant) so that sounds good to me
I am very pleased w/ having a plan!! All together it will cost us around $3500 so.... pray that God provides for us. There are alot of expenses that will be coming up w/ all of this and this is somthing that we really want to do (if need be) I feel that this will get us our baby/babies. God is going to provide, and we have faith that this will all work out :)
Thanks for all your prayers, love and support!

My garden and new happenings...
I dont know if I said a while back or not, but I decided to do a little box garden in our backyard. We planted cucumbers, red... green.. and yellow peppers, banana peppers and zuchini. I had planted tomatoes, but apparently I will just stick to buying those in the store-lol. (They all died)
This is what my little garden looked like....
and this is what it looks like now!!!
I cant believe how big its all gotten. I think we should def be seeing some peppers come soon :) ** I will have to add pics, but im starting to get little pepper buds!!! ** Im very pleased...
We are starting to do some more around the house, not much, but some. The "Blue room"
will soon be the "orange room" Not bright orange... (like my green room-lol) but a deep orange. We have to clean it out and stuff. one day, id really like to replace the nasty carpet!!!
We are in the process of trying to find some loungers for outside so we can start using our firepit more often. Im excited about that :)
That's about all the news that we have going on. I thought you'd like to read about other things besides us TTC (trying to conceive-lol)

Day 3 ultrasound
I got an email from my nurse today and my day 3 ultrasound is set for Sunday, July 4 at 9:15. This will determine what we do next. Either we try another shot at Femara and timed intercourse or I will be put back on bc pills for the month of July. After July, if we dont get pregnant, we will do about 1-2 more rounds of injections w/ IUI. Hoping and praying that we receive our blessing. I have to keep telling myself that its only a 20% chance each month (but you'd think after 3 years, that'd be a HUGE increase in chance-lol) In the meantime, I will just pray and I will just trust that God knows what Hes doing :) Im also looking into grants for IVF and clinical trials. Most the clinical trials that we found take place in NY. NY isnt far, and it wont be bad if we can do the ultrasounds here in NC. Idk yet. I have a great group of friends, who have helped me look into studies and what to ask, look for-things like that. Travis will graduate in Dec w/ his masters degree and then probably in Jan, if we've not gotten pregnant by then (I pray that we have) we will persue foster care (idk, we might still persue it even if we are pregnant-if that's allowed) I know that God is looking out for us and has the perfect child/children in mind! We are totally open to adoption, so if that's the way-we are just waiting for God to show us.... :) In the meantime, just pray. Just pray for patience for travis and I (mostly me-lol) that we can listen and understand God's ways. That He knows the plans for us... and that He knows what HE's doing.... Thanks :)
