baby showers and birthdays

Update on baby afghan I was/am making for my new niece. After searching and calling every store in a 100 minle radius I had given up on the blanket. I couldn't get the exact yarn, I couldn't find solid colors that I could so alternating rows to make it long enought to even be a blanket, so I had given up on the idea of finishing that particular one. We went to Walmart Friday night and Dylan says he is going 2 isles over to look at the yarn, I said don't bother we already checked here the other day. Well, he is stuburn and went anyways, he comes running back saying I found it I found it. And sure enough he found 1 that was kind of tattered and I thought that it was probably brought back and it was the only one they had and it wouldn't be enough anyways. But I walked over with him and on a shelf too high for him to see on, there was a beautiful site, 6 more yarns of the color I needed. yay!!! So, I didn't get the blanket done for the shower that was on Sat but I will finish it for the day she is born to take in to the hospital with me.

Speaking of the shower, it was super nice. I spent way too much money between throwing it and all the gifts I got, and had the kids get and I got something and put my Grandma that just passed aways name on. I made my first diaper cake it came out super cute, I posted a picture of it on SMO and had 2 people private message me for prices because they want me to make them one, lol Here's a pic.

We celebrated Sissy's 4th birthday yesterday, I took a few pics to put in her scrapbook of the cake and some of the presents being opened. Wouldn't you know it, someone must have had my camera and they switched my settings to Tv, dont ask me what it stands for or what it is even used for but all the pics are so dark you can not even tell what they are of, I just wanted to cry when I discovered this, boohoo!

We had a princess cake and she had a little baby shower for her dolls, lol, we got her an umbrella stroller, playpen, floormat/play yard thingy, bouncer chair, diaper bag, my sister got her a new babydoll. She just loves it all. There was a time not so long ago that I was beginning to think she was just gonna always be one of the boys, lol, she wanted nothing to do with dolls (except of course for bunny) she didn't like dresses, etc. But in ht elast 6 months she wants to wear nothing but dresses and she calls herself and princess and loves princesses and now she is playing mommy, its so cute!

meds are here

I got my meds for the next cycle yesterday! Now to wait for May 19th to start actually using them. I got them all organized and ready to go. I feel so good going into this cycle.

I am making a baby afgan for my new niece Ella that is on her way, the babyshower is next Sat. I was only able to buy 3 of the needed 6 yarns the day I went, the store only had 3 and her coloring for the nursery are weird, pinks and browns, so I went with a multicolored yarn with pinks greens and browns to match. I had the lady order the color in for me, guess what!!! It is discontinued, and I already made half the blanket, so I can't take it back and get a different color, and I only have a week left!! AAAAHHHHHH So I am going to take it all out and go out and get a pink that matches the pink in the multicolored yarn and start from scratch, and did I mention I only have a week!! I really want ot have it done for the shower but I guess its not really all that likely at this point!! I will post pics of it when it is completed!

let the cycling begin

I am on day 3 of BCP's. I got my schedule yesterday!! I start Lupron injections again on May 19, I have my list of appointments and have my meds being delivered on May 8th. We will tentatively transfer June 14. I already have a better feeling about this time!! I feel we will have better results this time around.

Other life things going on... Mark has been remodling in the basement. We moved a wall and are putting in a bar to make a family room/entertainment area. I have the job of painting, ugh! Mark doesn't paint! I did the walls yesterday and will be heading down to do the ceiling when I am done here. The ceiling has small wooden beams that were all painted white before I got the idea of painting them to match the woodwork down there. Now I have to tape them all off and paint them without getting the dark brown on the ceiling, ugh! Why did I have to open my mouth? LOL

I have also been very busy crocheting a baby blanket for my coming niece and a cross stitch project with her name on it! Along with doing babyshower things. I guess it is keeping me busy while waiting for the next transfer, so that is good!
