Bye Bye Ms. Kelle


Tomorrow is the last day for Ally's teacher, Ms. Kelle. She's moving to Alabama. I am so sad to see her go, but I am very happy for her and her family. Her husband got a great job offer and they couldn't turn it down. Ally loves Ms. Kelle and is going to miss her terribly!

Pumpkin Patch

I took Ally to the pumpkin patch last week and she loved it! She loved it so much her Grandma took her back on Saturday :) This is the 3rd year we've gone to this pumpkin patch. Here are some pictures from the last few years.

It's a wrap...

So I got my period today...right on schedule. I called my Dr. and asked him what was next. He wants to do a laparoscopy and ovarian drilling. I told him I needed to go google it to see what it was. And after reading about it and talking with my husband we have elected not to do it. We have decided to give it a rest and stop trying. It's been 2 years and I'm tired of the different medications, shots, sonograms to check follicle size, scheduled sex, the stressful waiting to just be disappointed and have to start the whole thing over again. I don't know how long we'll take a break: 3 months, 6 months or stop all together. But I just know that I can't emotionally do it any longer right now. Thank you to all my family and friends for your encouraging words and prayers. They have been greatly appreciated!

CD 20

Last week I had 2 sonograms to check follicle production. Thursday they saw some but they were not big enough to give me the hCG shot. I came back in Friday morning. I was thinking "How much could they possible grow in 17 hours?" Apparently they can grow quit a bit! They were perfect size for me to get my shot. Got the shot (which did not hurt too bad) and was told to have massive amounts of sex over the weekend :) Then I had to come back in Monday morning for another sonogram to see if I had ovulated. I DID!!! You don't know how much that means to me. I don't ovulate on my own, so knowing that my body did what it was supposed to do makes me feel great. So now I'm on Cycle Day 20 and get to wait for 2 more weeks to see if all this stuff worked. I'm hoping and praying that we will get pregnant this month.

School Pictures

Ally had school pictures last week. Did they make an announcement about pictures...NO. I'm so glad she let me do her hair that morning. The pictures came back on Friday...and I had to buy all of them. Not because they were super cute, but because they were horribly hideous!! It's crazy how a bad picture can be funny :)

My daughter...the bully!

Yesterday when I picked Ally up from school I found her sitting in time out. I asked her why she was sitting there and she said she bit her friend! What?? Not only did she bite someone she also has been hitting her friends. I'm trying to understand why all of a sudden she's being so aggressive?

She was not in school for 2 weeks. One week we were down at the beach and last week she was with her Grandparents in Georgia. Is it some sort of out lash from not being there for 2 weeks? We talked to her last night, as much as we could. My goodness she's only almost 3 so there is a lot of things she doesn't comprehend. We told her that hitting hurts our friends and it's not nice, and we like to give hugs instead. And, if somebody does something to her to let her teacher know.

I'm just at a loss right now trying to wrap my head around the fact that my daughter is the bully in her class!! How can this sweet angelic face be the bully!
