Hi Melissa! I am on about CD 15, I would have to look at my ticker to be sure! Since Christmas is less then two weeks away I guess I am in the two week wait! lol, since I am not charing I am not completely obsessing about everything, and it is making it all so much easier. I should be around O time. I really think that last cycle and this cycle are my FIRST NORMAL cycles since the m/c. I even got my EWCM when I was supposed to. WooHoo! So, my guess is that I O'd over the weekend and we danced on Friday, Saturday, Yesterday morning and we will keep dancing though the end of the week just to be certain. Mike wants a baby so bad! He was sick yesterday morning and STILL wanted to have sex, that is so not like him. If he is sick he usually wants NOTHING to do with sex, but I guess that is like that for all of us!
Kailey is finally feeling better, she is at school today. Last night was her Christmas concert and it was awesome. Mike left work early yesterday to get some rest, in hopes that he will feel better by the concert! Either way he would still go, he NEVER misses anything she does, he is such a good daddy! He ended up staying home from work today also.... it is official, he has what Kailey had and when he gets sick he gets it 10 times worse then both Kailey and I put together!
I am almost done with my Christmas shopping, We spent almost all of last weekend shopping. I know what you mean about Christmas breaking the bank! A few years ago I started saving for Christmas in January, and it really helps out. I just have to get some last minute things for Uncle Donnie and Mike's parents. Then I am done!.... crap, I still have one more thing to get for Mike and Kailey also... then I am done! I have even started wrapping, and I hope to get all caught up on that today!
Almost all of my Christmas cards are out too. I have about 12 more to finish up, and most of them are for online friends and out of state family!!!! Then we just have to mail out Kailey's presents that she made for our close friends and family and then we are done with everything that has to be mailed out!
Other then that there is not much new here. Things are good at work, and with the youth group so nothing new to report there.
I am glad morning sickness has set in! That baby needs to make herself nice and comphy!
Talk to you soon!
Jacque

Hello! I am here, just super super busy! This was our last weekend before Christmas to get EVERYTHING done. So you can kind of consider it my last ditch effort to get all of my cards out on time, presents wrapped, and meals planned for the big day. I have not read any posts since FRIDAY, which is so not like me! I will be on all day today (well, after I get Kailey to school) and I will be a posting queen.
Talk to you then!

Ok, I am kinda sad right now. A friend of mine just called to see when my next test day was.... it is in 6 days and I am so scared that I am not pregnant. I know it will happen, but more then anything I want to give Mike and Kailey a baby for Christmas. I want to tell them they are going to be a daddy and a big sister. Plus, yesterday was Trent's due date. I know it was not meant to be, and that he was not going to be healthy and that is why I had a m/c, but still...... I am not really sad about losing him, I am sad that I am not pregnant yet... but then again, I could be pregnant right now!!! I hope you are having a wonderful week before Christmas. It is beautiful here, we have had a lite dusting of snow every day - so it looks like a winter wonderland. We have also been keeping really busy with getting our cards and whatnot sent out. We still have a few more to send out, I hope they are all done by Tuesday in hopes that everyone will get them before Christmas! I am officially in the one week wait, I am only 6 DPO... but I test in 6 days since I have a shorter cycle. If I get a BFP on Christmas Day you will be hearing from me... just a warning... I test early, at like 3am... and yes, I will be posting right away!!! Santa usually comes here on Christmas Eve, while we are at church. I hope that is when he comes this year also. It works out so nice, that way Kailey can sleep in on Christmas Day and then have all day to relax and play with her toys.... We will just have to wait to see when he comes... oh, and for the record, his toys will be wrapped! Mike is on Christmas Break (from school) his finals are over and he has 3 weeks off, then starting on next Monday he has a little over a week off of work! Kaileys gets out early on Wednesday and does not go back until the 3rd! I am so excited. I am also taking 5 days off, so we will have alot of quite family time - which means no meetings, or parties, or anything!!! Other then that, there is not much new here. We will meet our goal for our toy drive. We will collect over 150 toys for 40 kids.. which means all of them will get at least 3 or 4 toys a piece! WooHoo! Tonight I am going to go to the store, Tuesday we have the AOH Christmas Party, Wednesday is the Day Care Christmas Party, Thursday we are ringing bells for the Salvation Army (in the evening), Friday I took the day off and I will be baking with Kailey all day and then in the evening we will once again be ringing bells for the Salvation Army... then Saturday is Church and maybe Santa... and Sunday is Christmas! WooHoo! And my Test Day!!!! Jacque

I didn't have time to read through the posts yet but just wanted to let you know I'm back from my appointment. WE SAW THE HEARTBEAT!!!! 120 BPM. I am so excited. I will post pics as soon as Nate hooks up our scanner. He knows how excited I am so he'll be doing that soon. My doctor also mentioned that the chance of m/c is less than 5% after you hear the heartbeat. I am so releived that this little baby is growing! I did see that you are feeling down. We are all here for you, and it will happen again. We just have to remember that it is all in God's timing. I will be back later and catch up ok.

Jacque - I am so sorry you passed Trent's due date and you're not pg (or maybe you are). That's really difficult. I hope you get your this month! What is your next step if you don't? Are you seeing an RE or anything like that?

Hi ladies... I am so glad that yesterday is over! I know that sounds just plain awful, but yesterday was so busy! Yesterday was the deadline for our toy collection, so what did everyone do? Yep, you guessed it... they waited until yesterday to drop off all of their toys. Then I had to sort them by age and gender, once that was done I had to separate them for each child... which is harder then you would thing because I know NOTHING about any of the kids, then I had to wrap them all!!!. Needless to say, our collection went great all 33 of the kids (angels that were not picked from the angel trees) numbers were giving to us... and because our toy drive went so well each one of the kids got 3 - 4 gifts! I am so happy, and I hope and pray that they all like their toys!
Then we had the AOH Christmas Party. We had a SS gift exchange, and believe it or not all 14 AOH members like what they got! WooHoo! I was so excited that everyone put so much thought into their gift! A few of the members got me a gifts, and I was so excited. They let me open them last night (last year they made me wait until Christmas!).... I got an Isabelle Bloom statue, the two disc set of the Christmas Story (which we had on VHS and was total worn out from watching it so much!), a bunch of candy, and 2 snowmen decorations for the house. I loved it all so much!
Tonight I have to get the things needed for Christmas dinner and Mike has to pick up Kailey's last gift (which is a tumbling mat!), tomorrow I have to work and ring bells for the salvation army, Friday I do not work (woohoo) and I have to ring bells for the Salvation Army and then I have nothing at all for four days!!!! I am so excited to have time off.
..... the best part is that I can test in 4 days!!
I will be back in a bit for personals... I got to pick up the house (it is 5:45am right now) - kids will be here in two hours and everything is still a mess from last nights party!

Melissa: I have said it once, but I LOVE your sonogram photos. I know that seeing the heartbeat was a HUGE relief for you and your hubby! Did you tell Hunter, is he excited??? I talked to Mike and neither of us have any inclining to go to the RE at this time. We have only been TTC 5 months since the m/c. Since we have been pregnant twice we know we can get pregnant, so we are not very worried. It took 6 months of baby dancing to conceive Kailey... and one with Trent. I kind of look at is as I would rather have it take about 6 months and end up with a perfect baby (like Kailey) then have it happen right away and have another m/c. We MIGHT do an at home SA (kits at Walgreen's, and our DR says they are pretty accurate) if we do not get a BFP by FEB... but we are not even sure about that. But you never know.... I could get that BFP in just a few days, and by FEB I will be about 13 weeks pregnant! I hope you have a WONDERFUL Christmas!!! I will talk to you soon! Jacque

Is this to good to be true? ? Do not get excited yet..... Ok ladies, it is 6:30 am on Christmas Day. I tested at 2 am, even earlier then I said I would. I waited and prayed while I was sitting on the toilet.... and looked at the test after 3 minutes. I used a + or - EPT test.... then a few minutes after that (basically after the shock of it being negative again wore off) I got up... and looked at it but this time under the light. I do not have my glasses on... and I can see a very very very very faint line. So I turn the stick at an angle, and yes... I can see the line BUT IT IS SO light.... I think I am willing myself to see it, I knock it up to being tired and go back to bed.... 6:20am I get up to pee again, and look at the SAME test... I can still see the line. I check my cervix, it is still hard and I have a bit of yellowish creamy/eggwhite CM. Not sure what is going on... I do not want to get excited... but maybe my Christmas miracle will come true. I want to test again, but it is 6:34am on Christmas Day I live in the middle of NO WHERE and EVERYTHING IN a 30 mile radius is closed AND THAT WAS MY ONLY TEST.... what to do..... As of right now, at least until someone else sees the line or I get a "real" BFP I am going to stay call and NOT get excited..... I just want to give you an update like I said I would. Merry Christmas! Jacque

Note to self, EPT test are not error proof. I compared my test to those on POAS.com, and I did get a FALSE positive. I woke up this morning to Mike leaving, he came back with 5 pregnancy test. I took one... and it was a BFN. We were both devastated...... I am really glad I did not get my hopes up. A few minutes later Mike told me he wanted me to go get one of those at home sperm test.... I have talked about them a lot, but never got one. I was scared that the results would not be good... So I went to Walgreens (and of course saw EVERYONE I knew) and picked up the test. He took it right away - it was like a little spunk chemistry set.... lol - and well, it was very very very positive! We were supposed to wait 72 hours since his last ejaculation.. we had sex on Christmas Eve, about 28 hours ago and it was still that positive, so he has a ton of swimmers!
So, the good news it that I am ovulating and Mike is potent.... we must just be one of those couples that take between 6-12 months to conceive, after all.... that is the average. So, here is to Month 7 of TTC and an October baby!
Thanks for all of your support ladies.

I will post more later... but for now I wanted to let you know that..... I caved, Mike made me.... I am once again charting, you can click on my ticker and it will take you to my FF chart... so now you can all look at my chart and obsess with me each and every month of TTC about how "this" is the month.... yippee! The good news is that we signed up for a year long subscription, so if all falls into place I will get a BFP this cycle so all of the money we paid for the entire year will go to waste... lol, well I guess there is always the FF pregnancy site... not that I will need it! and Jacque

Jacque - I'm sorry about a/f showing up! But glad you got good news from the s/a. I don't think I knew they did home ones. Glad you had a good Christmas. When do you go back to work?

I started back to work on the 3rd... it was nice to have a break, but I missed the kids so much. This cycle I am using Instead Cups and a Ovulation Scope to check my saliva for ferning... did you try either of them when you were TTC? Do you know anything about either of them?
It is hard to believe that you are almost done with your first Trimester!!! How are you feeling? Do you feel like you are showing yet? When did you start to show with Hunter?
