And we're out.

I knew we were too early with the insemination this time. I even told our KD as soon as I have you ship it out Friday my body will decide to ovuLATE...literally. & that's basically what happened. So, our plan is to take a chance and wait until I actually surge (or wait until that 2nd line is almost as dark as the first one) to have him ship it out. According to FF that will be 2 weeks from today...man it would be much easier if we were in the same state.

I have a feeling that Fertilitea worked its magic thickening up my lining. These cramps are mean and they are making me mean. Anyway, I need to get past the sad & onto the planning stage again. Court and I are certain once we get the timing down, we will be done with this part for at least 9 months. I just can't wait to be at that point.

Now that I am all bleedy and everything, we are going to ride roller coasters at Dollywood very soon. They have the prettiest seasonal decorations, and it is the perfect temperature to be outside all day. Of course my allergies don't agree with that, but it's ok.

It is busy season for me at work again, which is great...I'm not sitting at my desk all day reading everything I can about babies and how to get one in my uterus. HA who am I kidding, of course I make time for those things.

Speaking of work, I need to get back to drinking my day-old coffee and making horrid faces every time it hits my tastebuds...but I'm tired, I do crazy things to keep from being tired.

Good day All.

All Aboard!!

This weekend was so so gloomy!! I am not looking forward to this winter, unless of course there is snow. If there is snow, I'll be a happy camper...not that I'll be camping, but I will be happy :)

The package arrived as scheduled Saturday morning, we put it in the refridgerator until after we ran some errands and knew we would be in for the night. We knew after reading it should be no problem to have the swimmers wait a little longer. Everything went off without a hitch Saturday night, and now we wait!

This TWW we plan to be pretty low key about it all, only my mom and aunt Carol know we tried -I also told them baby questions are off limits for two weeks...I'm so glad they are understanding and don't take offense to me being so blunt- I don't feel like I could be letting anyone down this go around (I know I didn't let anybody down last time...its just how my brain works). I already feel less stressed this time. My plan is to completely forget that we even inseminated Saturday. No symptom checking, no early testing. Just living our life :) Should be easy, right!!

Because I am so in tune with my body, I know I ovulated early this morning...right on time. I should start to see my temps rise tomorrow. I'm really glad we opted for Satuday delivery, because tomorrow would be too late.

Today is my younger brother's birthday! We drove up to McCloud Restaurant for an early birthday celebration yesterday. We all had a great time and enjoyed the company. It was really cloudy and cold when we first arrived, but after we had lunch it started to clear up and the sun started to shine, so that was pretty perfect!!

Courtney and I kind of went crazy with buying movie tickets from Half Off Depot and Groupon...so I think we will be seeing lots of movies these next few months :) What can I say? I can't pass up a good deal!! Anywayyyy....we are driving down to GA to visit some friends Friday evening & then we are going to the ATL Pride Parade Sunday afternoon (I've never been to any pride event, ever, so this should be entertaining). I think having the weekend to look forward to will help keep my brain occupied :)

I guess that's really all for now...keep your fingers and toes crossed that we will be sane enough to make it through this TWW effortlessly!!

OH YEAH!!! Fence Pictures!!!!

SO incredibly happy with the finished product!! It looks GREAT & Charlie loves not having to be on her leash to go outside every single time...she can run so fast! I feel safer with the finished fence and gates and no holes. It is such a relief...now we just have to pay off the Home Depot card within 24 months to avoid paying interest :)

Ok now, that's all!

Lots of Excitement

There is lots of excitement at the Brazelton house this week!!

Court became a licensed resident of the beautiful state of TN today, we had materials delivered this morning for the new fence that should be installed on Wednesday or Thursday, Presidential Debates start Wednesday (I'm officially old), and the insemination is scheduled for Saturday (unless this fertilitea bumps that up), we also have a Subaru service appointment - this is probably going to be our favorite, because I told Courtney we could test drive some cars (just for fun Mom!!) and drive down to Puppy Zone to play while we wait (again just for fun Mom!!).

We are also Fallsifying (see what I did there?) the house with crafts found on the amazing Pinterest. We each made cute little wreaths, we have some letters to finish painting, there is going to be a scaryish scene set up out front, and spider webs...Courtney loves spider webs -not the real ones- on the mail box.

The leaves are beginning to change and there is a cool crisp feeling in the air...I LOVE it. I don't remember this part last year, I think it went from Summer to Winter. No nice transition. One of the best things about TN is the 4 full seasons...usually...& the colors! Oh the colors of fall, they are going to be great this year!!

A friend of mine, who is an awesome photographer, recently asked if Courtney & I would mind helping fill out her portfolio...duh, of course not!! Everyone is just a tiny bit vain, and likes to have their photos taken every now and then :) &&& She is going to give us the full disk for FREE. She wants to have some same-sex engagement photos, and here we are a couple of girls who so happen to be engaged, and we are just pretty cute so it all works out. It gave us an excuse to go buy a couple matchy shirts and figure out some coordinating outfits...we are excited about it all!! I am pretty honored she asked us to help her out. We have been thinking about hiring someone for a while to take some pictures of us because the only ones we really have are at an arms distance. Nothing fancy. Now we will have something to put in all the empty frames I have hanging out at the house :)

I think that is all I have for now....Next post should be some before/after shots of our fence! Hooray :)
