is anyone thereeeeeeeeeeeeeee???????

yeah, i haven't been around much huh?!

my last post was in november of 2007. actually for all of 2007 i had 5 posts! haha!

well it has been a year.....guess i will update you all, briefly.

well we bought a house, love it! not the bills that come with it, but love the house and area.

in june 2007, we finally went to see a fertility specialist. i really don't know why we waited so long!!!!!! i got pregnant on my own in june, but found out found out it was another tubal!!!! so i had to do that whole shot thing again, which scared me to death, i was terrified that the same thing was going to happen like back in 2003.

but thankfully everything went as it should, so then i had to have a laproscopy, to chek and make sure there was no damage to my only tube! i was TERRIFIED to be put to sleep!!! and they wouldn't let bob back there with me while i was waiting to go into surgery, so that sucked more!! at least the other time i was put to sleep, i really didn't know what was happeneing and i really didn't have a choice since it was have surgery or die! so i was queer, i wrote letters to all my family and friends, in case something were to happen to me.............i could have just had another HSG, but that was almost the most awful thing i have been through. my biggest fear was the "pain" i was going to feel when they put the thing into my uterus, but nooooooooooooooooo it was when they shot the dye in there!! talk about cramps and pain from hell!!!!!!!! then they expected me to roll onto my side!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank heavens when they finally drained all the stuff, but then when i sat up, i thought i was going to pass out! i have only felt like that one other time and it was the most crappy feeling. it sucked!!!! so i did NOT want to do that again!! plus with the laproscope thing, if there was any damage or scar tissue he could remove that while in there, so there was a chance i would have to have it anyways, so i just opted for that from the get go........

turned out there was some scar tissue that was pulling on my good tube, don't know if it made a difference or not. i did not get pregnant that next cycle. so then he started me on clomid, to help produce more eggs. that worked great, i had a few eggs developing on both side, so then we just decided to get IUI instead of waiting. so poor bob had to do his thing in a cup 2 more times.....i got my HCG shot on saturday, that makes you ovulate and 1 IUI procedure on sunday and one on monday($250 a pop!!). waiting the week+ to see if the test comes up positive was terrible!!! i think i took one of the early tests and woohoo, i was pregnant!!! now we just had to make sure the booger was where it was supposed to be, IN MY UTERUS already!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it made it there just fine!!!

and on July 24, 2008 we got this:

can i just bitch for a minute and say that whoever decided that the beds at the aultman maternity ward should be labor and delivery beds the WHOLE length of your stay should be strapped to one of those and then tortured, apparently it was a man!!! those are the most god awful things ever invented!!!! i would rather give birth then have to be moved to another bed, instead of being stuck on that thing for 2+ days!! i was sooooooooooooooooooooo miserable!!!! i even tried to sleep on the god awful pull out sofas they have there and those were almost as bad! i am sure bob liked that better than sleeping on the "recliner" and floor like he did when clay came, but come on!!!!!!!!!!! i am sure that hospital makes enough to give the mother and father some damn comfort, hell i am paying them enough for it!!!!!

so i will tell you all about the "nurse" in the ER who i was about to hill that day, another time. i have to get up to watch my shows........cole was up at 6am today, if not before, and i need to get to bed!

just wanted to check back in and say hopefully i will be here more often..........

take care!!
