Hey ladies! How's everyone summer going??

@xomandy- I'm so glad you're enjoying your time off. I bet your dh is having fun learning to fly!

@astrid- Way to go hun!

@missdani- Hi sweetie! Not much going on here. Waiting for my follow up appointment to start my first treatment with the RE. Cant believe it's already going into July. This summer is flying by! How are you doing?

I've been so busy this past month. My final big thing for the month was the bakesale to raise money for a friend's cousin's cancer treatment. Raised almost $3000! Then Sunday was supposed to be my first relaxed day but God had other plans! Dh and I were at my parents' house enjoying family time when we were visited by tornados! Not kidding. We had 2 tornadoes touchdown north and south of us within 10 miles of us. We knew we were safe so dh and I stayed outside the whole time watching the skies while my dad watched the radar. EF 2 hit took a northern turn and went around us and north of the highway. Never got to see the tornado cause the trees were blocking it but we saw rotation right above our heads and that moved by and turned into a tornado too. It was awesome! So we were late getting home that night. About 10:30 I got into the shower and suddenly heard a loud smash. I jumped out of the shower dripping wet and looked out the window. We have a dangerous country intersection behind us with limited sight distance. If you drive the speed limit, you're fine. But people want to speed and that's what happened. A kid on one of those 'crotch rocket' motorcycles, that had to much to drink, came flying down the road and when a car pulled out in front of him, he hit the car and took off the front end of the car with the bike. The motorcyclist, flew across the road and landed into grass barely missing the utility pole. DH ran out barefoot to help. I threw my clothes on soaking wet and ran out. It was so dark it was hard to see anything so we ran back to grab the flashlights. By the time dh ran back, the victim was already up and sitting in the car's back seat. He said his leg hurt and when we looked down, his leg was bleeding profusely. By the time another neighbor had ran down and called 911. We got his leg up and omg....I've never seen that much blood and bone. I ran back home to wake my neighbor who is a fireman. He came out to help. Then out nowhere an off duty EMT had drove by and jumped out to help. During the chaos, the driver of the car disappeared and left the other 3 passengers. We alerted the cops so hopefully they found him. Firetruck and ambulance came and took the kid. We stayed behind and answered questions. Didnt get to bed til 2am. I talked with the victim's uncle and he said he would be okay but is having mulitple surgeries to fix is leg. It was completely smashed in the accident but it could have been a whole lot worse. He was very lucky to leave with his life.

Hi ladies,

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've been on here! I thought I'd update you guys. Baby girl is doing wonderfully well. She's growing perfectly and right on target. She will not cooperate with the sonogram techs so they can get measurements, so I have to go to St. Luke's on the Plaza and get one there. 3 different times, they've tried to fight with her and get to move into a better position so they can measure her heart and face. They were finally able to get her brain imaged, which they said was beautiful. So far I've gained 7 lbs total so I'm doing great in that aspect. I just made 25 weeks, I will be 26 weeks on Sunday. It's going by so fast. My car is on its way to being paid off with only $960 left to pay. The baby is very active all the time and that's wonderful to know and experience. My belly just really popped out this past week, I feel fat..lol but it's all baby. I've decided to go with the name Nalani Rose. NaNa for short. I wish you all could see her kicking and moving. So much more to tell you. I'll have to catch you all up later. I hope everyone is doing well.

By the way Tara- awesome to hear you're making progress, the answers will come in time

@Astrid- congratulations on your success thus far, I hope it continues for you

Hello,
I feel exactly the same. I am TTCzilla now. I started POAS at 6dpo (this whole bag of cheap internet tests just make it so tempting...) and had a faint positive at 6 and 7 dpo but BFN since then. Now 12dpo and I just know it's over...or maybe it's not. I have to laugh as I've been poking my boobs so much myself that they feel sore. Glad to see that I'm not alone with this madness.
What makes things worse is that despite puregon shots and trigger shot last month I did not have a period but had a bloodtest done and Dr said "Oh, you're around CD4" and I started the puregon shots again. So...not only do I fear to have my period but I fear that I might have a ghost period again (not first time really) and miss the good moment to start the treatment AGAIN. Tomorrow I'm gonna have an ultrasound and bloodtest again...
Huggs to everyone.

Hi girls sorry I've been MIA for so long, been feeling so down and hopeless. After a year of ttc with no luck dr finally agreed to see us and looks like DH has varicocele and that might be the problem. He will be going in for an ultrasound and sperm analysis and we'll go from there. It's not recommended that he gets a surgery to fix the varicocele because he has a heart condition..Hope theres hope..I will be seeing my doctor this month, I remember Tara asking me if I had Endometriosis I will be discussing that with the doctor.

Sugaar- I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll be praying for hope for you and hubby. Good luck at the dr tomorrow

enbutler- dh and i love the name you picked :).

@sugaar- i'm glad you got some answers. Totally sucks, but there is always hope. Wish I was near you to give you a hug! Please keep me updated

@ttc1- gotta love those cheapie tests!!! Welcome sweetie! I'm sorry you're in zilla mode. I've destroyed a few cities in my 3 yrs ttc Lol! What were the results of your tests?

Happy independence day! We had a fish fry at my in laws house today. It was great until dh found a 5ft snake in a bird house. I was so mad at that snake cause i was just watching the momma feed her babies!! My FIL grabbed his gun and killed it. Dh climbed the tree and saw two babies left in there but they were hard to see from the angle he was at so we're praying they are ok. Momma bird was unharmed. Breaks my heart. Even dh and my dad were close to tears. But we ended the day with a baseball game and fireworks so it cheered us up. I'm exhausted and itchy from tricky mosquitos. Hope all you ladies are well!!!

Thanks girls i will. Didn't call him yet for an ultrasound so still waiting.

Tara- thank you honey!

So my ex/baby's father has now decided and told me that he wants to be in his selfish stage of life and wants nothing more to do with me. So, that part is stressful, however, I feel that both the baby and I will be much better off. I don't think he deserves us.

Enbutler- your ex reminds me of Albert from Look Who's Talking!
