Moving on...

I have decided to move to new 'digs'... Please feel free to join me, click here.

Good-bye to my old blog, the one that helped me through my second try at IVF. I wish I would have found you sooner when I started my journey. Eleven years of infertility have left deep scars that I hope to heal with the joys that come with spending time with my 3 children.

Here's to one day seeing the end to infertility.

Good Night

So much to do so little time...

It's a sad day today...
- First my Dr. informed me that she is moving to a city 4 hrs away (a little far for an appt, although I did it many times for IVF. Funny thing is she is moving to the same city where my IVF clinic is. ) - Second I quit my full time job to be a stay at home mom. Actually I quit my career of 17 years, I have knots in my poor belly.
- Third I finally got my storage bill (only 6 months late) from the IVF clinic, for embies the hubby won't let me use.
- Fourth my BABY is now one and my twins are almost 3 (where the h-e-double hockey sticks did the time go?)
- Fifth I am still requiring PPD drugs... Yippee

and last but not least I am not sure if I am going to keep this blog going. I really really need to start moving past the Infertility and moving into a better place in my life. I think as a symbol of my moving forward I may just have to shutter-down (said like Larry the Cable guy! :) ).

For those of you who just can't miss any news never fear I am going to start up a new blog very soon... I will post a link when I get it all figured out.

Thanks for saying with me and hugs to all for your support during my second go at beating IF...

Hugs

I am a Bad Blogger!

I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted. Bad Bad Blogger!

I think I have a little to much on my plate these days! But there is hope for me as I am here right now!

Life with three kids keeps me busy and I am even losing some weight as I rarely get to sit down (which is just fine with me!)

Most days are wonderful and a few are trying... I spend a lot of time thinking, they won't be 2 for much longer! :)

I have decided that I don't like whining much! :)

So much to tell those of you who are still keeping up with me... My baby is going to be 1 on Saturday. It has gone by WAY to fast.

It is way past my bed time and I am taking the three to get their pictures done tomorrow (by myself, this should be interesting... We have issues with strangers with 2 of 3! I hope the photographer likes some screaming! :)) anyway off to bed I go, more updates later!

Hope everyone is doing well

Crazy Busy...

Well it seems as though I have been a super bad blogger lately. Life has just been so busy and I am addicted to that freaking f.a.ceboo.k, fricking scrabble I say!

My PPD is still with me. My dosage of medication was lowered and I am feeling it a bit. I am waiting to see how it goes I may have to go back up again. I am not thrilled about that but I would rather be a happier person than all depressed and wanting to stay in bed. (As if that's possible with 3 kids 2 and under! LOL) Generally it is going well as long as nothing really stressful is going on in my life.

I recently got a part time teaching job teaching in my field at the local college. I am very excited about this and I think it means that I won't be going back to my full time job. I am excited and nervous about quitting as I have been there a very long time. Change is always hard but it usually seems to be a good thing in the end so I am keeping that in mind.

KIDDO UPDATES
My oldest has to go to the doc this week as he has major constipation... It's been about a month since he has had a good one. I have taken him to the family doc and she put him on some stuff. I have also loaded him up with bran and prune juice. Nothing seems to be working. He screams about every 20 to 30 minutes in the day and yells Moooom. Then he says 'tummy'. I feel sick. Needless to say he's off to the ped this week. I hope they can get things 'moving'. It breaks my heart to see him that way. Wish him luck.

The next one is good. He is not a morning person, I am cool with that as I get it! His moods drive me crazy though, he gets that from his dad. He is hard to keep track of as far as happy or grumpy but I am sure some day I will get the hang of it. He has become quite the TV junkie so the darn thing is off other than his one show a day, the doodlebops. (He gets the TV thing from Mom!) He likes to hug his brother when he is crying about his bum. He is pretty good with the sister too. I am hoping it stays that way FOREVER! :)

Then there is the little one. She is becoming quite a character, nattering all the time. She is cutting 4 teeth right now, so sleeping through the night is a thing of the past again. She loves it when her brothers play with her. She isn't crawling yet, but man can she get around on her butt. I have to keep an eye on that one. She likes to put everything in her mouth, including the throw rug in the boys room. She is growing so fast I wish she would slow down just a bit. :(

I still would like to try for one more but the husband says NO. :( I suppose I should just be happy as we never thought we would even have one.

Happy St. Patty's Day...

Well our water system is finally up and running. After 2 weeks of water on/water off/water gross/ water grosser/ etc. I am so glad it's over. Now lets talk laundry, loads and loads and loads of laundry! I think by the weekend I should be caught up. At least I hope so!

We have been busy around here. I managed to get some painting done in the basement and part of the sub floor has been installed. Now for some demolition and some more painting and a whole lot of cleaning up! By the way I don't recommend painting with Tennis Elbow. (Getting old sucks!)

The kids are all sick and so am I, but it's only a cold and we will be better soon. There are worse things that's for sure.

I recently found out that it is true I am falling apart. In addition to my PG related leg issues I have decided to add Tennis Elbow. My dr. said She would tell me to rest it but with 3 small kids she said good luck! I am having quite a time with it and my legs (still). Well at least now that we live on an acreage my hubby can bury me in the backyard! LOL

KIDDO UPDATES
Things are a little whiny here right now but that's to be expected with the colds. The girl is sick but she is still in good cheer.

We had a funny night the other night. The boys were sitting on the potty and when they got off we put the girl on. She just sat right down and started grunting... and she left a big poopy to show the boys. Not bad for 8 months old! :) The boys were cheering and clapping! It was quite funny, the 8 month old pooped and we are still working on the 2 year olds! :) I guess it proves us women are smarter than the male folk!

I really must be off to get some sleep, hope you all had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!

Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink...

Still waiting to have running water again... hopefully by tomorrow.

The weekend was pretty uneventful just the same old stuff, minus running water!

TODAY WAS...

Today was a good day. The kids were almost perfect today so who can complain. We are starting to get more sleep around here so I am hoping soon I will be well rested.

We got brave and took the kids out for supper last night. It went wonderfully, I always get nervous not that we are outnumbered.

No water and a sore arm, how exciting hey?

It's official we have no running water until Sunday, I have buckets and buckets and a tub full. Hopefully it will last! Boy are we going to be stinky by Sunday! :) I think I may contract myself out as a water and septic information source after all this. I know way more than I ever wanted to know about all things water & toilet! We have a well on our acreage and since we are getting new water treatment equipment next week it was determined that we should probably get the well shocked before we do that. (We pretty much figured that the folks that lived here before probably didn't get it done anytime in the near past so we had to get it done) So they basically dumped a tank of water mixed with chlorine into the well and we let it sit until Sunday, then we get to drain it all out. What an exciting life we lead!

I am thinking I may have tennis elbow... it just keeps getting worse and I am sure all the lifting and diaper changing doesn't help? If anyone has any assvice please feel free!

TODAY WAS

Today was interesting. Well I got up this am, feeling like crap! (That means I actually got some sleep, go figure?) I had to go to town to today, I fed the kids, got them dressed, changed T2 twice before we left the house (STINKY!). I talked to the hubby before we left and we discussed the fact that the stroller was in the truck. It's heavy so I decided I would go out since it was in the truck (back to the sore arm thing!). I loaded up the munchkins and off we went (got up at 8:30am and it was 10:00am before we got out of the house... yikes). I got to the mall, went to open the canopy and guess what... NO stroller. So I phoned hubby, we had a laugh because you can actually see the thing in the rear view mirror as it doesn't fold up, and I didn't notice it wasn't there. So off to Walmart I went instead... 3 kids in a cart is interesting! I think it was snobby mommy day at Walmart today, smile for goodness sakes your face won't crack! (Well maybe it will! :)) I was loading up the cart (with T1 and T2) with baby food and other misc stuff I needed. Well I forgot that T2 gets a little attached to things... I started to empty the cart and someone started to get upset. Unlike my usual self I actually came up with a good idea... OK T2 help mom unload the cart. Problem solved... YAY!

I was supposed to go out and get a b-day gift at the mall but I never did make it. When we got home it was so nice I let the kids run around for a while. I went to open the back door and I heard this screaming. I had to turn the house alarm off first so the company wouldn't be calling me, poor fella had to wait a few extra seconds. Well T1 must have been running through a half frozen puddle and down he went. Instead of getting up he just stayed there and screamed, he didn't want to get his hands dirty. Well the puddle is almost dry now as he was wearing a fleece, man those can suck up some water! Poor guy but I sure wish I would have had a camera.

Little Missy was up to the usual today, smiling, eating, yelling for toys and peeing every time I take the dirty diaper away. Man does she go through a lot of clothes, my little pee-per! :)

And that was my day....
