September found us...

So, September has come and is halfway through already. It found us, it was inevitable I suppose. Our summer was fun but short lived, although we cant complain much, we did have great weather.
Our lives are still day to day, Kelly has switched to graveyard shifts for 8 months (by choice) to cover while a lady goes to college. Its been a nice change being able to see him every night but its taken me awhile to get used to sleeping alone at night.

I suppose its not really a secret anymore that we are trying to start our family. Its kind of hard to keep it to yourself when there are so many doctor appointments to go to and blood work to have done. We've been seeing a Gynecologist specializing in infertility in town here (GP) and he has been really great. We've both gone through some testing and while Kelly has come up with a fairly clean bill of health , I've been put on a few different medications to help us out.

In July I had a painful procedure done up at the hospital where they put dye into my uterus which goes through to my fallopian tubes to check them for blockages. Nothing like having your doctor put weird clear stuff up your hoo haa that can only be seen on a radioactive camera while you have an audience looking on....OK over reacting (only a little) but you get the gist of it right??
Thankfully they were clear, one roadblock overcome.
Last month we ( and when I say we I mean me...) started taking fertility drugs to assist in me ovulating. The first round didn't work and so they are doubling the dosage for the next round. As it stands my ovulation, or lack thereof, is basically our biggest issue at the moment. So our game plan is to work on that for the time being. Take some pills, draw some blood...rinse and repeat.

September also brought 2 of my long time dayhome boys to Kindergarten. They both started with me when they were only one. How time flies! I cant believe they are starting school already, makes me feel so old some days. But I enjoy seeing them succeed at school, and opening up new doors of opportunity, plus I still get to see them everyday (or every other day) and both of their younger siblings are here still too.

Some may want to flick my lips for this (or my fingers as it might be) but the snow will be coming soon, and although it happens every year we never are ready for it. Although I find myself anxiously planning my birthday (Nov. 10...don't forget) party for the kids already...excited much? We still have Thanksgiving and Halloween to get through first. I'm looking forward to home cooked turkey dinners and board games over coffee, and of course 3 day weekends!
Time moves on even if we aren't ready for it to do so.
