Well today is official CD1! I couldn't be more excited! Yes, I know it means that I'm not pregnant, however, it also means that I can finally start my fertility treatment. My nurse told me to schedule a cervical dilation once my cycle starts and this morning I called for an appointment. I made it for Friday which is in three days. In the meantime, I've still been temping and taking my prenatal vitamins, metformin, and dostinex. Thursday I will start Serophene (clomid) which will be CD3! I'm super excited about that too! I will take it consecutively for five days then starting on CD16 I will start the prometrium (progesterone supplement). Also starting on day 10 we will BD, which I'm sure hubby will be happy about :) I'm hoping for a little surprise at the end of this month or something really big to celebrate the new year! I think Christmas will be a little too early to tell anything.
Also, I decorated our Christmas tree last night. We still have the same blue and silver decorations. I've decided to start adding a new Christmas tree ornament each year to commemorate something big that's happened that year. We didn't add anything last year, so this year I'm buying two ornaments. One for last year and one for this year. For last year's ornament, I chose a white birdhouse ornament with two birds. It says "New Home". I bought it on ebay for $5. It says 2010, but I will try and change it to 2011. For this year's ornament, I chose a blue light-up Houston Texans ornament (also bought on ebay). We really haven't done much this year, other than me getting re-hired and JC going to school, but I figured with the Texans cinching the lead in the playoffs this year with current stats at 11-1, I would support my team and buy an ornament in their honor. When JC graduates school we can get an ornament to commemorate it which will be in 2014. And hopefully on next year's Christmas tree, we will have an ornament saying "Baby's First Christmas"! I'm sooooo excited!
I've also been doing a little splurging and induging in my guilty pleasures. I've been making some pre-baby buys. Most recently taking advantage of After Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday deals. So far I've purchased a bassinet/playpen/changing station baby center, a walker, and a Boppy with slipcover. Another thing I've been scouting are cloth diapers. I've been looking at various reviews and tutorials on youtube and alot of users recommend purchasing a few different brands/styles to see which work best for you. So far I'm leaning more towards prefolds/inserts and all in ones. I have a few that I'm tempted to purchase already. Hubby knows this and is trying to get me to go easy. Damn my compulsive shopping. LOL. I may be jumping to soon in buying everything, but with this new burst of renewed positivity and optimism, I'm looking forward to starting on the nursery and baby buying. I don't want to leave things to the last minute. And speaking of the nursery, I've already purchased wall paint in a pale yellow (straw) that I will be using on the walls. I will paint the trim and shelving white. It is gender neutral so it won't matter on the sex of the baby. Also still undecided what theme to run with. I love the jungle/monkey theme, but I think it may be to boyish, and therefore still contemplating the circus theme. We shall see.... Also working on redecorating the rest of the house so that it has our personality infused in it. It still has paint from the previous owner that I despise... ugh.... pink everywhere. I've done some inspiration boards on pinterest as I brainstorm ideas.
Well that's about it. I will update on testing and my cycle when things change. Keeping fingers crossed!
