Yet again another negative test. It is official, I am broken.
P.S. For those that don't know, it was a boy. ~Amy

Almost There
Tomorrow morning will not get here soon enough. Amy and I are so ready for it to get here. Amy will be taking the home pregnancy test first thing in the morning. It is exciting but nerve-racking. Amy talked with our nurse today and everyone at the doctor's office is ready to find out. There was even some consideration of whether a blood test could be done today. It is just too early for the blood test. Tomorrow is day 14. It will definitely be a restless night.
Today was a pretty typical day. It was nice to come home and relax and spend time with Amy. We caught up on our recorded shows. To end the evening, we are watching a movie in bed trying to relax. We will keep everyone updated as things progress tomorrow. Please keep us in your prayers. Today, I am thankful for children. Amy and I are so ready to be parents, and the good news cannot get here soon enough. The song of the day is "Better Man" by James Morrison. Talk to you tomorrow.

TIRED!
So it is 12:17am, and we just got home from Enid. To say the least, this will be short and sweet. We had a great time with our friends tonight and got to see baby Elly, which is always a highlight. She is so precious. I think I am destined to have boys, however because while I was playing with her, her bow fell off and it was a project to get it back on. Bless her heart, I had 1/2 of her ear, at one point her eye, and all of her hair somehow tucked around the band.... it was a mess!
Today was a good day, we moved into our new section of our building at work, and I am excited to decorate my new office. More space and better a/c, can't get any better!
Today I am thankful for my coworkers who moved all my stuff because they did not want me lifting, bending, etc... I hope there is something to show them to pay them back. Something in the form of a baby in April!
Today's song is "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness. As I was getting sleepy on I-35 driving home, that came on and pumped me back up! Great song!
Good night/morning! ~Amy

Pageant Moms Are CRAZY!
So another day goes by! Today at my office we had a bake sale and we raised $525.00!! My coworkers can cook!!! Isn't that insane? Who would have thought that some brownies and cookies could make that kind of money? After work, I had a Junior League meeting and then came home to make dinner. Ever since we went to NYC last summer, I have wanted to copy a salad I had for lunch one day at an exquisite cafe. So, tonight we tried it. He grilled steak and we sliced it on a bed of spinach with tomato chunks and a Peppercorn & Parmesan dressing. It was sooooooo good! Even my husband ate it....with tomatoes!!!
Let me tell you about the song of the day for me. "This Woman's Work" by Maxwell. It was one of my favorite songs towards the end of my college career. (I say career because I changed my major so many times, that it almost became a profession!!) I have it on my I-pod, but listen to it rarely. Well, tonight watching So You Think You Can Dance, Tyce used it to choreograph the most beautiful contemporary piece focusing on a woman's struggle with breast cancer. If you missed it, You Tube it. It was ABSOLUTELY beautiful and I had tears streaming down my face. Unreal.
Today I am thankful for my huge spectrum of friends. Today, at the bake sale, as people around the agency came to buy stuff from our department, a coworker of mine said to me, "You have such an eclectic group of acquaintances." The more I thought about it, that describes my life! I have a very eclectic group of friends in general. I love that I have friends of all faiths, social statuses, races, political views,etc... and I embrace every minute of it. Besides, who wants to hang out with people that mirror themselves daily? How monotonous!
Time to go - the new season of Toddlers and Tiaras is on! You know that is my guilty pleasure! Pageant moms are crazy!!!

One Day Closer
First, I want to apologize, because this blog is not going to be one of the best. We are in a holding pattern right now, and that is not going to change until Saturday. Today seemed like just another day. We got up this morning, went to work and came home. It was nice to have our friends Scott and Neilly over for dinner though. Their little boy is on the move and is a lot of fun. Although the final determination will not be made until the blood test on Monday, we feel the home pregnancy test will give us some perspective. For me it feels like Saturday will never get here. I cannot imagine what Amy is going through. We are nervously optimistic and anxious to get the news. Luckily, we have quite a bit going on to pass the time.
Today, I am thankful for Amy's new obsession, recycling. It is amazing how much can be recycled and how much is completely wasted. Today's song is "Supply and Demand" by Amos Lee. It was one of the few songs I heard today that I like. Everyone have a wonderful Wednesday. Saturday is just around the bend.

Approximately 108 Hours....
I guess it is obvious that I am counting down until I can take a home pregnancy test. Saturday will be my 14th day from retrieval and that is when I can take it. Some people suggest that I don't BUT I know my body and my previous pregnancies and that HCG will show up if I am. Not to say that all hope is lost if it is negative, but it was right the last time. My goal this week is to keep myself as busy as possible. If I don't have time to stress about it, then I won't get all in a mess. It is better for the baby...that is my excuse.
It was so wonderful to get back to work today! 3 days at home was SOOOOOOOO boring! I was wide awake at 5:45am, and I think that it shocked my husband when he rolled over at 6 to wake me up and I was alert. That is not the norm. Usually he has to almost force me out of bed! Luckily Tuesday- Thursday I will be busy, but Friday... not so much.... I will have to create things to do. THANK YOU to all of our friends that are inviting us to do something with them, not only for our fabulous company, but also to occupy our time. We are having dinner tomorrow night with Scott & Neilly, Wednesday night I have a Junior League meeting, Thursday we are going to Enid for a jewelry party (well, my husband is not going for the jewelry, but he is coming with me) and then there is Friday. Yeah, I will probably be able to hear crickets chirp. I need to get something on the schedule ASAP!
Saturday night our friends Dave & Amy are coming into town. I have already warned them, I will either be ecstatic or a HOT blubbering mess. Hopefully it is the former one! I heard some horrible news today. One of my former coworkers, who I really enjoyed passed away. She was only in her early 40's. Today, I am thankful for the gift of life. There have been times where I wished it was over, but the next morning am thankful I still exist. It truly is something we take for granted. The song of the day is "True Love Ways" by Buddy Holly and the Crickets. I am a HUGE Buddy fan, a true musical genius who died before his time, and it is my favorite song of his by far.
Keep us in your prayers! We only have a few days left!

I Love Crest!
Today has been a FABULOUS day! We woke up, went to church... yet another one that we thought was nice, but not for us.... and then we went to the grocery store. Since moving to Edmond, we have tried out new grocers. Everyone knows that I will not go to Walmart unless I absolutely have to, but Target is always too packed. Along came Crest. I love it. Their produce is always fresh, their meat department always has a great selection and they have wonderful customer service. Not to mention we spent $102 today at the store and had a basket full of fresh veggies, fruits, and even steaks. Deal of the century! Now, I have heard things about the one in Midwest City, but the one here in Edmond is super nice. Love it.
We came home and watched another movie! That makes 10!! I have 2 left! My husband and the neighbor finished the fence, and on the way broke another post. So that means, more fence repair this week. Tonight, just more relaxation preparing for work tomorrow. One week from tomorrow we will know if we are preggers! This will be the LONGEST week of our lives. Even though we have done it before, it is never easy. I keep trying to zone in on my body to see if I can tell if I am pregnant, but all the times I have been pregnant, I did not know it until about 4 weeks. Right now I am only (literally) 8 days pregnant. Anyway, we cannot wait to get the positive blood test results so we can unveil the baby to everyone! YES, to clear up some questions, we do know the sex, we have just chosen not to tell anyone (except family) until we have the positive results.
Today I am thankful that I got to get of the house! This morning, after leaving church, I had to squint because the sun was so bright! The song of the day is "Linger" by the Cranberries. I was a huge fan in high school and heard that song again today. Also, he has been singing it around the house!
I hope everyone has a great week and please pray that I keep myself busy so I do not dwell on this the whole time! Thanks! ~Amy
