Provera....
So I am on day 76 of my cycle, and I feel like I am going crazy. I know that I have long cycles, but come on this is just getting out of control.
I went to the doctor on Wednesday, and after a couple pokes later, she put me on Provera. Provera, for those of you who don't know, is a drug that jump starts your period. Its helps by putting high doses of progesterone into your system, and progesterone is the hormone that your body creates in order for you to ovulate. If you don't ovulate you can't get pregnant, and that is the ultimate goal right now, right?
I have been charting my temperatures, and I think it is kind of interesting and fun. If you would like some information on charting, check out Taking Charge of You Fertility, you can pick it up and any book store, or check out www.fertilityfriend.com. It is really interesting, and amazing to see the things that your body goes through each and every month.
So wish me luck, I am going to start the Prover on Saturday and hope to see something happen.
Have a wonderful long weekend!!!

Graduation Day.
So today my Sister-in-law is graduating from high school. I remember when I first met her, she was 10, and in middle school. I look at her now and she the beautiful women that she has grown into, and it makes me happy. I think it is so amazing how I have watched this girl grow, and I am so excited that I get to continue to watch her grow. I can't wait till the day she gets married, and how beautiful she will look as a bride. I can't wait till she has a family of her own, and I get to look at my niece/nephew, and she her in there eyes.
I have always wanted a sister. Someone who's hair I can do, and talk girl thing with, and I am so glad that she was the one I get to do all those things with! Congrats Sarah!
Tomorrow, my little brother also graduates from high school. I am so proud of the person he has become. I know that we fight sometimes, but what brother and sister don't. I have so big hopes and dreams for him, and I know if he would put his best foot forward he could do just about anything.
I remember not to long ago he was a wide-eyed little boy, who I used to pick on, and I would wrap him up in a blanket, and put him in our toy tub, and I would push him around the house, and we would both just giggle on brain out. I remember when we used to build blanket forts and we would spend the whole weekend in them.
I love you little brother, Congrats!I love both of you so very much, and I know that you will both make the most amazing aunt and uncle someday! And I can't wait for you to babysit!!!!

Under Pressure...
That is actually what I have done. Put myself under pressure. I have already set myself up to fail (see post below).
Someone yesterday told me this, and I have been thinking about it all day. She was so right. I told you that I am just starting this journey, and yet I am already failing. I took a step back and realized what I have done.
So from now on, only positive thinking, no more failing before I even start.
And to you who woke me up, thank you!
I have to go out and buy a baby shower gift for a friend today, and I am so excited about it! I also think that I am going to plant flowers today. Colorado's weather has been super funky the last couple of days, but I think that it is time to plant. I will post some pictures later.
Till then!

Well hello there blog world!
So there are 5 minutes left in my work week, and I have been trying to come up with something to do to kill time. Then it struck me, like the lightning going on outside my office window, let's start a blog (another one, cause the other one failed). Then I was like, "what should I write about?". I got it! Another trying-to-have-a-baby-but-failing blog! Perfect!
