how to get pregnant

so this week ive kind of been a little obsessed with pregnancy stuff. i think time off work is bad b/c ive been searching target, old navy, and babies r us for maternity clothes and car seats. oh and i found my fetal doppler on ebay that i want! no i have not bought anything yet. a non pregnant person buying pregnancy stuff is borderline crazy. yes i know torturing myself looking at it is probably borderline too, but hey at least im honest with myself :) i researched some stuff about my NT scan ill be doing at 14 weeks pregnant.... whenever that is. at least now i am visualizing myself pregnant and acting like it WILL happen. lets hope this attitudes sticks around for awhile. so i tried a new trick that im hoping will get me pregnant this month. you know they say to eat all healthy blah blah blah. well i figured if i make yummy stuff to make me feel good that it would help. drs are using the TLC approach with me so why not use it on myself. so this is what you do. make a large pan of rice crispy treats with extra marshmallows and eat the entire thing within 24 hours. mmmm soo good!

2-1-11

well we got out of school early yesterday, no school today, no school tomorrow, and not sure when we will go back. you would think i would get a lot done while im off. not so much. i got the kitchen cleaned up and made rice crispy treats. then i ate 4 of them. and they are huge pieces. that cant be healthy, but ive been craving them for awhile so im making up for lost time. tj worked last night and works tonight and tomorrow. the worst weather nights :( i get scared when he is out in this crud. im really hoping we dont have any power line break. i dont know what i would do in a cold, dark house by myself for days.

thursday i finally get to buy a supply of contacts. i have had like 3 different trials b/c they find what sits right on my eye and the right prescription. i never really wear. only on a saturday maybe. friday is tyce's night off so we will probably just go to the show or stay home and hug each other. saturday im going to a tea room with a few of my gf's then we have bowling that afternoon with his fuller fam.

i hope you all survive the weather! and happy birthday to my bestie anna! oh and can you all please pray for annie's dad? he has been in and out of the hospital a lot lately for some kidney issues. poor boots! thanks! xo

results

all normal. bloodwork, urine analysis, and chest xray all normal. he is doing an immunology test on me to see if anything shows up but i know it wont b/c my RE already did that on me. so absolutely no answer to why ive had a fever so long or been sick so long. ill keep taking the drugs though.

i had a phone conference with my RE as well today. so while i was getting my immunology test for dr she had them draw some more blood for another recheck of tsh and prolactin levels. next month we start clomid. if no luck after 3 months, another dreaded hsg (painful catheter with dye to light up your uterus like the 4th of july + u/s) and FINALLY a sperm analysis on tyce. these were all her suggestions and i was very pleased b/c that was the plan in my head anyway.

now im waiting for tyce to get up and we are gonna go have din din with my mom and her bf. tomorrow's agenda-colby's pizza bday party and then casino (booo). hopefully some time for naps in this weekend too! love you blog world!

my health

so after having a fever on and off for a month, i caved and went back to the dr. i took tylenol this morning like usual, but didnt at lunch time so they could see my fever was 101.5 and it hadnt even been 6 hours since my last dose. i didnt wanna go back b/c they usually tell me to fight if off even though ive got green stuff going on and fever-hello INFECTION! well today i saw a dr. a real dr! not a dr that talks about rainbows and unicorns and baselines and research. a dr who listened to my every little concern for the past few months and had an answer for everything. thank you dr bob. but the bad thing is i went alone and needles were involved! EEK! he also had me pee in a cup and go to the hospital for chest xrays. so he covered every area. he said fevers shouldn't last that long. its probably nothing. if you know me, i get a fever when i get a cold. my body does not like sickness, but it sure happens to me often. and he gave me a strong antibiotic. its a 'cousin' to penicillin so lets see if my throat swells up :) and on the bottle it says diarrhea could last up to weeks or months after taking this! sounds fun! whatever it takes for this fever to go away. i feel like my bones are breaking! oh and i asked the xray tech if radiation can scramble or fry my eggs :) so she 'shielded' my baby-maker! ha! k after that 2 hour trip im down for a nap and getting some fever reducer in this body. i will let you all know my results in a few days. ps heather, thanks for listening to all my randomness today xo!

screw cpc!!!!

Dear Central Parking Chicago,

You suck! This is the real letter I'd like to send you. You and Walter B can go F yourselves for giving me a false ticket. And yes, I will continue to writing you letters and fighting this measly $65 ticket. Sure, threaten to impound or immobilize my car. Then send me letters from your attorneys. I DONT CARE!!!! B/c why should I have to pay for something that I did not do! The people wanna be heard! Walter B's word against mine! Walter B could go stomping around to every car in the lot saying they have their receipts face down and they owe $65. Well guess what Walter, this chick isn't taking it! My 3-inch, snow-filled windsheild that was untouched shows me you didnt even check! So I might not have a car tomorrow, or maybe I'll go to jail for a month, and maybe I'll go bankrupt from court and lawyer bills, but I will not back down! I have rights! And I wanna be heard!!

Screw you,

Dana Holshouser
