Morning Sky, Books, Something Funny and Colors

Day 5: Morning Sky

Day 6: Books
A Lucky Child by Thomas Buergenthal, this is the one I am currently reading.

Day 7: Something Funny
Spencer ripping off his father's lip, ahaha. Candid photos = best.

Day 8: Favorite Color
Red, in my painting.

New things... I had my obgyn appointment today. He discussed anti depressants, and basically told me to tell my psychiatrist to call him to discuss different meds. So, yeah. That appointment is on Thursday. He did the normal annual stuff, since I am overdue for them, and also took 7 vials of blood for MY part of the infertility testing. He put in a request for my hsg or hysterosalpingogram (HSG Test). I will call them on Cycle Day 1, and they will schedule it for around Cycle Day 7 or so. So, done and done. Garrett will need his done sometime soon. Basically, we have been given the O.K. to try again, but emotionally, I need a break, and Dr. G agrees that would be a good idea.

My youngest brother, Alex, and my dad are coming to visit this month! Oh, I am so thrilled! They will be here June 24th, just in time for Spencer's birthday! I'm glad we get to do a little something for him, because we had nothing planned as we didn't have anyone to do anything with really. My step mom used her frequent flyer miles to get them here. She won't be able to come as she works offshore and will be in Vietnam then. Soon though, soon!

Smiles, Happiness and Leaves

Day 2: Smiles.. awww, how cute. :)

 Cracking up at something Daddy said.
Sweet, chubby baby-face!

Day 3: Happiness.

 Two happies here. ^
Scentsy smell-goods.
I love my smell goods, as anyone who knows me would know.
Also, its fleur de lis, which I love because I'm a Louisiana girl, no matter where I'm living now or ever.

Day 4: Leaves

Little growing plant in the woods by Loon Lake.
New life.


In about 9 weeks I am going to donate blood again. Since my plan for more children at the moment has been pushed aside until all the testing and etc passes, I want to find another way to help give life. I've always been able to donate my O- blood for pediatrics, babies in the NICU and just children in general. They put it in "baby bags" as they called it; just smaller sized bags for smaller patients. I have to wait 12 weeks from my Rhogam shot to be eligible, so 9ish more weeks now. I'm looking forward to it and to helping out families. Last time I donated blood, it was used within the week! Garrett said he will donate with me, he is O+.

My mouth is feeling much better, but it hasn't really bothered me much since I got them cut out. My main worry now is the antibiotics I have to take as they can give me a YI which I DO NOT want, ha.

I see Dr. G tomorrow, I'll inform everyone of what he has to say.

Its been raining all day here. Oregon has way too much rain.

I don't think Spencer feels too great today. He is being quiet, calm and snuggly. My child is NOT a snuggler (he probably got that from me) and he is not quiet OR calm! I gave him some Advil and he went straight to sleep... also something out of the norm for him. Sleeping is not on his list of favorite "to dos".

We are still waiting to hear about the townhouse across the street. Seems to deal is that the Coast Guard wants ALL of the carpet in housing to be replaced at once, not one house at a time. Problem with that is 7 of the 12 houses have people in them and one isnt ever going to be lived in again. Our house and the 4 houses in the "ghetto" (as we call it, they are just down at the end all by themselves) don't even HAVE carpeting in them and 3 of the 6 townhouses are occupied and no one is planning to move into housing (from the relocationed Coast Guard members) for about a year.. so they only need to carpet ours. They have to find a way around getting them ALL replaced, and that seems to be what the hold up is. Stupid if you ask me! Should know more on that today once Garrett talks to DC3 Dodd, who is supposed to talk to Master Chief today.

Garrett's car is broken down - again. We have replaced the battery 4 times (no charge the last few times since we just traded them in for a different one) and its still being slowly drained. The shop doesn't know whats going on and we aren't going to put any more money into the car. Its just not worth enough to bother. So, we are going to keep dealing with it, jumping it and charging the battery with the battery charger we have in the garage, and save up money until we have enough to trade it in. I don't want to buy ANOTHER new(ish) car, but there is just no point in having two if one isn't reliable at all and it keeps costing us money. Maybe by the time or a bit before my Dodge is paid off in February, we will get him another one. Cars are an expensive headache, I tell you!

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day 1.

Day 1: Favorite Food

So, not exactly my favorite food, but who on earth has their favorite food conveniently on the day they are to start this 30 day photo challenge? Actually, after much thinking about it, I don't have a favorite food anymore. *pouts*

Anyway, this was pretty good!
In case anyone wants to know what is it..

Savory Garlic Chicken & Spinach:
A lb of chicken breasts, diced
A julienned red pepper
6oz of spinach (mine was chopped, so I had a tad bit too much)
Penne pasta
Philadelphia Cooking Creme: Savory Garlic
How to:
Cook julienned peppers and diced chicken in a skillet.
Add spinach and cooking creme,
and then put over pasta.
Easy Peasy.

No pun intended. :)

Yesterday I had my wisdom teeth cut out. I was scared and my blood pressure was running a bit higher than usual. 118/80. After I woke up it was 90/62 and they kept doing the machine over and over and over because they thought it was wrong. I heard them say a few times, "It was really low the whole time, it was running low before the surgery. She said its usually low." The highest it got when pregnant with Spencer was 109/80. So, yes, I'm not dead and apparently my BP is lower than a normal persons.

But, my mouth feels awesome! Seriously! It hurt 15x worse yesterday BEFORE the surgery, what with the pinched cheek skin and pressure and what not. My mouth feels like a new mouth! Even with the craters and sutures. Glad for no more oral surgery... hopefully ever, again.

Now I see Dr. G on Tuesday for a "follow up" and then I see my psychiatrist Dr. T for the first time, on Thursday. I am looking forward to getting back on track, feeling better, and I'm actually looking forward to Auntie Flo's return so we can get this genetic/infertility/miscarriage testing show on the road.

Plus, my baby will be TWO in three weeks! What the crap, Time, why must you fly by???

PS. I don't know why my blog made this into an enclosed box, but, I can't fix it. Adios. :)
