Someone needs an intervention

I think maybe I've got an addiction. I'm in that stage where I've realized that I have a problem, but no one around me seems to. Waiting on someone to take my hand and say, "we need to get you some help."

It's kinda funny because I actually was a slow one to sign up for the whole myspace/facebook/ blog phenomenon, thinking that there were tons of criminals waiting to steal my identity, drain my accounts, and start stalking me. Turns out, I don't really think I'm that interesting and my financial situation leaves much to be desired. Go ahead and take over my loan debt- I dare you!

But now here I am, entering a new blog almost every day and checking for comments that people leave. I get SO excited when someone has commented or when one of the blogs I follow is updated. I think this has been excellent for my mental health and Aaron's well-being. But it really interferes with my TV time. :)

As for my baby situation, I'm 2 days post IUI so we've still got a long wait (12 days) until we test. I would actually test positive right now if I tested due to my hCG trigger shot I took. Might be kinda nice to see what a positive looks like...

    The blogging world is such a delightful time-suck, isn't it? :)

    I love the blogging too! I've managed to combine my blogging and tv time with the purchase of a laptop and wifi. Brilliant. : )

    hee hee I did that with my OV kit. I never got a positive ovulation result, so I couldn't resist when I got the trigger shot! I know it's just the shot, but it felt like a triumph anyways. :)

    Catie's got it right - park on the couch in front of the TV with a laptop and a big glass of tea. (Since it can't be a big glass of wine.) Of course, it irritates the heck out of DH 'cause I lose track of the show and he has to keep giving me recaps.

    Hi Amber,
    I just stumbled on to your blog (followed a link from a comment you posted on someone else's). I am so happy to have found it! It might give me some insight as to what I'm in for -- I went off birth control in February and haven't ovulated since then... which makes babymaking pretty difficult! I've just been informed that I should see an infertility specialist for a workup. Yuck. Thanks for posting your experiences... I'm off to read from the beginning.

    My blog is http://thisplaceisnowahome.wordpress.com

Meet Our Little Miracle, Paisley Kate

The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up ...

Blogging Failure

The fact that I blog less than I exercise is not a good sign.  I miss you all.  And I'm glad to be where I'm at because the problem is that my cup runneth over.  Life is crazy.  The kids are growing and becoming real people and exploring and I'm still struggling to figure out how to parent a VERY challenging 3-year-old. Dear Paisley is actually quite a joy to raise.  She is spunky and energetic and funny.  We desperately struggle to stifle our laughter as we discipline her for things that I never expected her to do or say.  She is the center of attention and loves her baby brother like there's no tomorrow.  I've never met a more opinionated and divalicious child though.  She picks every piece of clothing she wears, which toy she brings in the car, exactly what she is willing to eat, how her hair is fixed, which door she uses to get in the car, etc.  I hear you out there judging me.  I would have to until I gave birth to Whitney ...

The Resurrection

 So here we are.  It's now a blog graveyard.  The followers have long since moved on and infertility is something that I've somewhat put in the past (only considering I don't want any more kids).  So why am I here and writing again?  What's the purpose?   This was my safe place.  It was where I came when everything seemed much too hard and I needed to feel comfort.  I wanted to express myself in a venue that others would reassure me and even understand me.  I still love and have always loved this blog.  It guided me during some of the hardest years of my life, dealing with infertility and miscarriage. And you know... I guess it will help me again now.  Because life is freaking TOUGH.  You know the phrase "I've went through Hell and back"?  Yeah, I feel that in my soul now.  I could have a blowout in the middle lane of the highway during rush hour traffic, manage to pull over my car on the side and call for roadsi...
