iui canceled

james and i were going to do an iui this month and i was getting excited. i go in to have the follies checked and i had 4 folicals this month so were back to the drawing board and cutting the does of clomid in half again. next month i will be taking 1/4 of a tablet per day and hope for only 2 folicals so we can do our iui.

i cant wait for christmas in a few weeks and then not long after that i will be going to califorina to see my family. nothing new other than no iui this month

Baby number 2 update... Well Im not pregnant this month. Depending on what the doctor says we might take a break till we get back from visiting my parents in jan. I was a little heart broken when I knew I wasnt pregnant but i know i have a great kid and feel blessed everyday that I get to play with her.

Today is thanksgiving and we spent the day watching the macys thanksgiving parade and then had dinner with the family. It was good as always. nothing new here in out home but ill be sure to update after we know more.

infertility up date

So we are near the end of our first cycle with medication. So here is an update on what has happened, I went in on cycle day 14 to get an ultrasound to see if the clomid worked. and well it worked too well, I had between 3-7 follies that could drop so the doctor wanted to skip this cycle. I was to take a med that would make them not grow any more and to not have sex till after friday. Well after seeing how much this med would cost us we decided not to take it and to take our chances with the possibility of mutipules. While on clomid the only really sydafects I had was hot flashes and pain in my hips/ovaries. I am now on cycle day 21 and have no more pain and no pregnancy symptoms as of yet witch is normal and I dont expect any until next week if I am pregnant.

 We chose to go against the doctor because I wanted to get every chance at becoming pregnant. I am putting full faith in god and if I do get pregnant and its more than one we will be thrilled and scared at the same time. I know that god will provide for us and we will love them more that any thing. What people dont understand is that we have been working to hard for over a year to become pregnant that we cant see skipping a month just because of maybe getting more than one. We run that risk every month that we take a med to help me ovulate even with just one or two follies that could drop. I hope for the best with this cycle but I know its in gods timing and it will happen one day.

up date on baby number 2

So here is an up date on trying for baby number 2. still not pregnant :( we have been working on it for over a year and this will be our first medicated cycle. i will be taking clomid and getting a trigger shot and having timed intercorse. i have high hopes because we got pregnant with sage so quickly but i know not to get my hopes up.  sage is now two and is so smart. i amazes me how much she talks and how much she learns every day. james is now working for cox selling home security and he is loving it. my photography is growing and im still having fun doing it. i love staying home with sage and i know it is part of the reason she is so happy. we have talked about putting her in a moms day out but im am a little scared because of her peanut allergy. i know that they will be carful but she cant tell you if she feels funny and if she gets a hold of something with out them seeing it could kill her. other than that every thing is great and ill try to update more. Here is an updated photo of the molloy family

sage 16 months

Sage you are almost 17 months and getting so big. The other day you had your first fall with blood. I must say that you did great and only cried a little. We had to get you new shoes this week because your first pair were getting to small. Right now you have 3 teeth coming in and that makes for a total of 9. This week you started to not like chicken but i think thats because of the teeth. you are talking so much and love to point out things that you know. You love balloons more than any thing and can spot one faster than i can. Now that it is warm out we have been going to the park and you are starting to like the slide. We have been going to the zoo a lot and you can now point out different animals and want to walk all over. You are getting to be much more independent and not a baby any more.

i am loving my mommy role and so glad that i can jut be a mom and not have the stress of working.

meal time

Sage had a new task at lunch today. She was given a bowl of pasta and a fork and spoon. Now it wasnt just plain pasta, It has sauce on it and chicken in it. I was so happy that most did end up in her mouth and not on the floor. Not once did she pick up the bowl and toss it to the ground. She did try to eat with the spoon but mostly dipped and licked off the sauce. Here are some pictures of the happy girl at lunch.

wordless Wednesday

I miss Sage being this little

oh vacume you did us well

The other day I got to take Sage out for a long day with our friend April and Kaiden. We drove to Shawnee on the hunt for hoodies so April could make more dinos. While some things were a hit we did find out that there is no Chick a fil in shawnee!!! We then let the kids nap on the way to the science museum to meet Rachel, Mark and Michael. after a long but good day out with friends. I came home to a clean house and a clean car, but our vacuum payed the price. It is now dead and we now are looking to get a new one. I wish we had the money to get a dyson but at the moment we dont. It was time for our little vacuum to die. It had a long life of well over 3 years. on a lighter note April and I got some pictures of our kids in the tees that she had made on an adventure to the gardens downtown.

we tried to get them to stand next to each other

hello 2012

We are now a week into 2012 and things couldn't be better. Sage is talking up a storm we can only understand about 5 words like cat, dog, mom, dad, baby and whats that? We have gone to the zoo twice this week because of or weird weather this week. Its january and its 60+ out side. Last year was a good one with my little girl turning one and learning to walk and starting to talk.

minutes old

over a year old. my how she has changed. 

This year will be a good one too with a goal of loosing all the baby weight and sticking with it this time. I am loving where im at in life now and know that god gave me this time to stay home for a reason. I love that i get to teach sage all that she needs to know and she helps me learn to be a better person.
