Round 6

I went to the Ortho on Friday and got some good news. Nothing is torn in my knee. Apparently I have a bad case of arthritis behind my knee cap!!! I was put on an anti-inflammatory and have to go for physical therapy for the next month. The best news is we don't have to stop fertility treatments. So, we start round 6 of Clomid tomorrow. I have to go in for an ultrasound as I'm ovulating to check the follicles. If there are some good ones, I will get a shot of FSH to help them along. If this round doesn't work he wants to send me to a fertility specialist. Hopefully this round will work and we won't have to do that!

We took Ally to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time last week. She loved it. Completely overstimulated...but in love with the place. She had fun singing with Chuck E. Cheese while eating her pizza. And she loved playing all the games. We even got to personally meet Mr. Cheese!!!

Missing my baby girl

My baby girl left for vacation with her Grandparents on Tuesday. I have been fine with the entire thing...until today. I have the day off from work, so I'm just sitting here at the house missing her. I've tried doing things to keep me busy (laundry, digging through old pictures, a wonderful nap) but her cute little face keeps popping in my head.
I know she is having a blast. We called them last night and she talked to us for about 30 seconds before she was off to have more fun. I can't wait for Saturday night to get here so I can squeeze her and give her tons of sugars!

On a different note....
I had my knee x-ray this morning. And tomorrow morning I go to the Ortho. We shall see what he thinks needs to be done. Keep your fingers crossed!

Bummed

I finally went to the doctor today for my knee. I've been putting it off for about 9 months now. It would hurt for a couple days then it would be fine. That's why I kept putting it off. But, for the last 2 months it's been pretty constant. I know why I haven't gone to the doctor. I know what they are going to say, and I don't like it. I don't have time to have an injury that needs surgery to fix.

The first thing the doctor told me this morning was "So, which Ortho do you want to see". Last time I got a shot of Cortisone (which hurt badly). She said with how my knee is now giving out on me she can't do anything. She also wanted me to get an x-ray before going to the Ortho. Fine, I go to the radiologist to get my x-ray. I sit there for an hour waiting, then finally get called back. The tech asked me if there was any possibility of being pregnant. I told her there could be, but I wouldn't be able to find out for sure until next week. It's still too early to take a test. So, she refused to take the x-ray. She also told me I need to make up my mind on what I want. Either I can continue with getting my knee fixed or keep trying to have a baby. I can't do both, as they won't operate while pregnant. Now I don't know what to do!!!!

We've been trying for almost 2 years now to have another baby. So, I don't want to give that up now. But, my OB doctor wants to try other options if this round doesn't work. And, I don't know how far I want to take the whole fertility thing. Maybe this is just another sign to stop. Maybe we are supposed to only have one child? I'm an emotional wreck right now. All over my stupid knee.

USF here I come!

I went to meet with a Biology Advisor today at USF. I'm gonna do it! I'm going to get my BS in Biology then go on to become a Chiropractor. It's going to take me about 4 years to do it all, but it will be so worth it in the end. I'm excited and nervous to get back into school. The last time I was in school was for massage. We had been married for just 2 years and we didn't have Ally. So, I know it's going to be harder just because I have a family now. But, I know my husband will be very supportive and help out a lot. Keep my family in your prayers as we change up our entire lives!

Being Silly

The other day at work we got the new POP hair pieces, they are made from 100% human hair. The sample we had matched my hair color perfectly. So I went into my room and put it on. I thought my co-workers were going to flip out. It was so funny. I haven't had long hair in over 10 years and to see it again was crazy. I think I might have to buy it ($250...but so worth it). The cool thing is you can wear it with the headband or take it off and put it right into your hair.

Too Tight!

"Too tight Mommy"! I hear this phrase about 20 times a day. Everything is too tight on her. It starts with her pants, they are too tight around her belly. Then all hell breaks loose when we put on her shoes. We got her some new shoes this past weekend, thinking that her foot had grown a little. But, every time I put her shoes on, doesn't matter how loose I make them, they are too tight. Then next comes her hair ties. I have to pull her hair up for school, it gets way too hot to have it down. But she pitches a fit almost every morning. Then finally the car seat!!!! The straps are always too tight for her. And to make it worse she can reach down and loosen the straps. It's horrible that she knows how to do that. I have to keep checking it to make sure she's still strapped in!!! I know she's going to say this phrase every morning, but it still drives me crazy!

Short work day.

Today around 1:20 I got called out of the skin care room, I had a client on the table by the way. Ally's pre-school called and said she was having problems breathing. WHAT??? How bad, how long has she been doing this? They said that pretty much for the entire nap time they noticed her breathing funny. I'm so glad they called me, and not just blow it off. I don't think there is anything wrong with her. I called her Pediatrician, and they called her teacher. The Dr. didn't think she needed to come in. But, told me to keep an eye on her to see if it happens again. I left right away from work to go get her. I left the client on the table and everything!!! I'm sure someone will go tell her she's only getting one side of her bikini waxed today :) Ooops!!!

Mandles

My Mom sent me this video today and I thought it was super funny. I showed it to my husband who thinks the concept is genius.
