This & That

This post is going to be a mixture of this and that stuff.

First of all I am very happy to say that my body and medications are working wonderfully together. I have adjusted to all of them and no nasty side effects anymore. I am still bruising with my lovenox injections, but that is a given at this point. I've been on the full dose of metformin for about 3 or 4 weeks now and I am not having any stomach issues. I do need to keep snacks around and always have something on my stomach, but as long as I do that, it is smooth sailing.

Yesterday I bought my first item ever from an antique shop. I love to go window shopping at those places and always have an issue with spending that much money. I broke down yesterday and had my husband drive me through the snow so I could make my first purchase. You are going to laugh when I tell you that I have absolutely NO idea what to use this for or what to do with it, but I fell in love. Plus I was able to talk the dealer down to $55.00.

I also found a China set that I want and found out that my darling husband is buying it for me at Christmas! I don't have a dinning room in our house now as it is only 1300 sq ft. My plans are to keep it put up until I get my dream dinning room in Colorado. I will share picture of it around Christmas time.

On TTC:

Today is 7DPO and nothing is going on. My temps have been up and down. Have a gut feeling this cycle wasn't the winner winner chicken dinner. That' okay though, there are plenty of future opportunities :)

  1. I love shopping for antiques! I have lots in my house, but all the big pieces are family antiques. The largest antique mall in our state is close to us an I could spend ALL day in that place! Your bowl reminds me of a peppermint. So glad you are adjusted to all the new meds.

  4. LOVE that dish! You could totally hang that on a wall or on a plate holder as decoration. Great piece....so unique!

    Sorry you're having to do the not so lovely Lovenox. Blah! I just try to visualize every bit of that burning ass liquid as the magic juice that will open up my veins and carry blood to my uterus and future baby....like a waterslide, rushing healthy blood flow right to the spots that need it most. I keep telling myself it helps somehow. lol

  6. Antiquing is fun, but I always gag at the prices. I would have loved an antique china cabinet...but for $5000?? No thanks, we'll just go to IKEA!

    3. I had a total misprint on my blog. I am 7DPO and not CD7. Sometimes I think that my mind is going :)

  8. I like the idea of hanging the bowl on the wall for display. My house is small too, at 1250 sq. feet, but at least we have a decent sized kitchen/dining area. So nice that Al will be buying you that china!
