I Love Oklahoma Weather!

We love Bradford pear trees, the only problem is they are killing my husband’s allergies! He has been sneezing, coughing, etc… for the past 3 weeks! I have affectionately coined Edmond, Oklahoma, “Bradford Pear City.” There are at least 12 on each block!

We have been so busy preparing our home for the wedding shower we are hosting Saturday night, that our life has consisted of painting, cleaning and emptying boxes! Last night we painted our guest bathroom gray and that was a HUGE nightmare! The bathroom is not that big, so I was excited thinking that we could get it done by 8(ish) and call it a night. Here is a question for you all…. Have you ever had to paint behind a toilet? I was so angry by the time it was over that I proclaimed the next house we buy, we are hiring professional painters (Yes, Russ & Sarah, we should have listened to you)!! Also, if anyone comes over and uses the guest bath, please don’t look behind the toilet!

With that said, my question is: How am I going to host potentially 60 people at my house Saturday night with it being 30 degrees and snow on the ground? I doubt people will want to go outside!! I love Oklahoma weather! Only in Oklahoma is it 75 one day and 30 and snowing the next!

Now, focusing on the important thing – trying to have a baby! I talked to my doctor, ad nauseum, about what went wrong. Unfortunately, she cannot figure it out either. We, collectively, have decided that something was not right with my embryos. There is really no other reason it did not work. She did notice that my Estrogen was low for the number of eggs I produced, so next time she wants to double my dosage. This is not news to me, as I have heard so many horror stories about women during hormone treatment going literally crazy, and nobody in my family thought I was that bad. To be honest, I felt quite nice (except for the headaches and heat flashes!) So, needless to say, I think that we will try In-vitro once more before we go down the adoption path, I am just not ready to give up on one day being pregnant.

Before I get off of here, I need to understand the obsession with Facebook. I know that Oprah is now on it, so the world will follow, but is everyone else on there too??
