Black Friday...

So I had a great relaxing day with my family, Turkey, yams, stuffing... and PIE!!!

Then we got home. My husband and I had been debating on weather or not to buy our children DS's for Christmas... then we see an ad on TV... only $89 at Walmart... sigh.... so we call Walmart to ask how many they have and what the protocol for tomorrow will be. We are informed that we can come in at 10 Pm on Thursday and pick up a ticket, one per machine you want, so that means two for us. Then you can leave and come back at 5 am for the sale. Ok we thing no so bad. So my hubby leaves at 9 to get the tickets, anticipating a line.... little did we know we were in for it! To our surprise the original person that we talked to LIED!!!! Once you were in the line you were stuck until 5 am!!! So my hubby calls and tells me to come and switch him places. So there I am with my vow to not be stuck in a store broken. That's right folks I stood in a line for a TOY for a little over 7 hours!!!!

I watched the midnight sale with amazement, people were fist fighting over other toys and pushing each other down and trampling them for movies. "I don't need anything so badly." I thought to myself... but then remembered that I was saving myself almost $90!!! So in the line I stood. When 5 o'clock came I was tired, cold and terrified of walking thru the store with 2 DS's in my hands. At the check out I was asked by a security guard if I wanted an escort to my car... did he really think I needed one?!? So scared to death I answered, "Yeah sure, why not" and off we went. I am happy to report that I got to my car safely and I was home before 5:15!!!

Christmas shopping is now complete.

BBT WINS!!

So my wonderful husband and I have been trying to have our third child now for over 5 years. We have seen all the doctors. Had all the tests... and now are taking all the medications needed to "get a baby".

Can I tell you how crazy it is. I'm doing the whole BBT thing and you are supposed to do it at the same time every morning. Okay I see a few things wrong here.

1. It should be after two uninterrupted hours of sleep... well I don't sleep very well so I'm usually tossing and turning about every hour. BBT-1, Jen-0

2. When my alarm does go off I'm fumbling in the dark for the stupid thermometer. Then when it is done it beeps 10 times!! Yeah like anyone needs that. BBT-2 , Jen- 0

3. I usually do it at 5 am so I can't really turn on a light. It would wake the husband, so I'm using my cell phone to read the tiny little screen.

Final score BBT-3, Jen-0

Sigh, plus the combination of clomid and metformin make for some wacky temps!

But, through all of it I keep telling myself that the ends, to have and hold a precious child, will all be worth it.

Frustrations!

Okay for all the ladies out there that struggle with conception.... HUG!
