Terrific Thursday?

Today I had the day off. woohoo, right? umm...not so much. One of my closest friends from high school (a click member) is getting married in a few weeks and I took the day off to get my bridesmaid's dress altered. Everyone who has ever had to have their dress altered knows you have to take your shoes. Well..the only problem was, I didn't have shoes to take. :( I had ordered my shoes online about a week or so ago thinking they would be here for my appointment (the estimated delivery date was for the 27th). So this morning while I was getting ready I was frantically checking the tracking on it every 5 minutes or so (no lie). I even considered following the UPS truck that kept circling our neighborhood. I finally got frustrated and call UPS. After going through all of the press one's and say this for that I get a real human to talk to. She tells me that UPS won't be delivering my shoes to my house (oh no...because that would make way too much sense), instead the would be delivering it my local post office and then the post office would deliver it. Seriously? So, then I call the post office. After calling about 15 times and it being busy...I finally get through. The ever so friendly lady *sarcasm* on the other end asks if I have a tracking number from the post office, and of course I didn't. And since I didn't have a post office tracking number she couldn't help me...at all. So, while she thought I was thanking her for her help, which it started out that way...and ended with a "thanks for nothing", I had a Clomid cry. Yep...I cried for like 15 minutes over shoes that I don't even like.

So far that's the only side effect I've had from the Clomid. Today is my third day on it and I think I can handle crying over stupid stuff. To be honest, I was more worried about the hot flashes than the mood swings. I guess I'll see for sure if mood swings are it for me, we have a field trip tomorrow (planting trees all day long) and after work I have a slumber party to go to. ;)

Ok, back to my sucky day. So, I get to David's Bridal everything is fine. The lady gives me a pair of shoes with the same heel height and get to work. When I ordered my dress I ordered the same size I did for Mrs. B's wedding, which was back in November, thinking it would be ok (I was told by a lady at DB that dress was made small). I was so wrong. She pretty much has to take it up everywhere. So far, my dress and shoes for this wedding has come to *drum roll please* close to $350. I will be getting my money's worth out of the dress. haha. I plan to mow and sleep in it if I have to..but I will be getting some wear out of it. Thank God it's comfortable...that's all I got to say!

Today I leave you with a picture of "the click" from my wedding. This is probably my favorite picture of us. :) Aren't they gorgeous??



Mrs. B (Tiff), Nisey (the bride to be), Britt, and Pris.

feeling the need to update...

So...today I came home from a crazy day at work...and a crazy day at daycare (work again) to see pretty much everyone that I follow updated today. I feel somewhat obligated to update, not that I don't want to, I feel that I NEED to. haha :)

I changed my doctor's appointment from Monday (Nathan's bday) to Friday. Everything went great! I swear, If anyone is in our area and needs a great Gyno, I highly recommend mine! He asked how I was doing on the metformin and I told him I was having a hard time on the 1500mg and so he decreased me to 1000mg. This maybe TMI for you all, but for the month of March AF visited twice. I was NOT happy!! So, come to find out, I was taking too much metformin. Thank God all of that was figured out.

He also asked me how I felt about Clomid (I swear...it's almost as if he can read my mind). I was kinda shocked!! I honestly didn't think he would prescribe me Clomid since he is just my Gyno and not a RE...AND he wanted MY opinion?? WOW! I mean...really how many doctor's ask you, what you want and what do you think? I'm so freaking excited to start taking it. :) I know it has terrible side effects (mostly menopausal side effects; hot flashes, mood swings etc.) but, the sooner I take it...the sooner, hopefully, I will be pregnant. :) I have to wait until CD 3-7 to start taking so it will be a few more days, but don't worry, I'll keep you updated. (This is the meds I was talking about in a previous post that increases the chance of having twins.)

Now...the not so fun part, for Nathan anyway. He ordered a semen analysis. Yeah...Nathan wasn't too thrilled about it at first...but then I explain we can do it at home and he doesn't have to go into the doctor's office. He's dealing with it a little better now. :) I also told him that this was pretty much all he has to do, a woman has to have terrible stuff done to her at least once a year (for me...more like 3 times a year), this is the least he can do. So hopefully *pray* the results are good.

The doctor also told me I needed to stick with my diet, I had been slacking for the last couple of weeks or so. :( I know I know...I did really good when I was on it, it's just so hard for me to stick with it. Working at the daycare after school makes it so hard. By the time I get there after school I'm starving, I need to buy some healthy snacks and just leave them there. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of eating healthy.
