About Me
- Maria
- God has blessed me tremendously with an amazing husband, Doug, and two gorgeous little boys, Gavin and Joey. It has always been a dream of mine to have a large family but God may have other plans. I had a series of 6 consecutive early miscarriages when trying for baby #2. We are currently trying for baby #3 after our 7th miscarriage. I am faithful that God's plan is perfect, even when I am not happy about it. I love comments and meeting new followers so please don't be shy!
We Salute You!

A Little of This. A Little of That.
I feel like it has been a while since I posted anything personal. I have just enough energy for bullet points.
I have been walking twice a day for about 43 minutes each time. I am logging my calories and exercise each day. I am slowly starting to see some changes. I am super excited about that! Actually lost 4 pounds. Not to shabby!
I feel like facebook has been quiet. That scares me. Call it my ability to anticipate a wave of pregnancy announcements but I really think it is coming. It is always calmest before the storm of ultrasound pictures and adorable ways to announce a pregnancy.
Speaking of facebook... every time I consider posting something as my facebook status I ask myself, "Does anyone outside of my immediate family care?" Sometimes I wish more people would ask the same thing.
We switched Joey to a toddler bed. I really anticipated a week of chaos and redirection. Turns out, even Joey, my wild child, can handle change like a champ. We left the bed in the exact same place and with the same bedding and everything. The only thing we changed was the front of the crib is a guardrail. It is like nothing changed at all!
I have only taken my morning temp about 50% of the time. It is kind of nice to not be as focused on the TTC thing. But... with that said... Last month I found a really good deal on the digital OPKs and they were actually due to expire soon so... can't let those go to waste. I started testing on day 10 and was shocked to see a smiley face. I couldn't help but to test again the next day and got a positive in the morning and in the evening. Then, on cycle day 12, I got two more positive tests in the morning and evening again. I couldn't help butput in a call to Dr. Google and he told me that studies have shown a correlation between long LH surges and ovulating multiple eggs. Wouldn't that be ironic on a cycle off from the clomid?
I am not sure how I came across this event on facebook but I signed up. It is a birthday card shower for a woman who has a rare heart condition who is celebrating her 30th birthday, a huge milestone for her. I have two cards so that Gavin can send one and so can I. I don't know her, but I know how wonderful she will feel when she gets a bunch of birthday cards. If you are interested, please join me.
I am about halfway through my two week wait and I promise to update with any news.

I love comments but if you are seeing this, I'm afraid that no one will see your comment. On the blog, I use Disqus commenting and it sometimes takes longer to load. Also, if you ask me a specific question, I am able to respond to those using Disqus. If you ask here, I am unable to reply. But, again, I love to hear from readers so however you comment, I thank you!!
