First off...Gavin is turning 1 tomorrow! Yippee!! I couldn't help myself and decided to turn it into a week long celebration by giving him a small present each morning. It is starting with a book and then culminates in a Fisher Price Rock 'n' Roll Trike. He will never remember this but at least we are having a lot of fun.
As for baby number two, I feel lied too. The new doc got my hopes up only to receive my bloodwork back which revealed I have low AMH. My first doc was right after all and I need to use injectables. I've spent the last week depressed at the thought that while I might still have a chance to have another baby, this will most likely be my last one (If I'm lucky enough to conceive). I'm torn between asking to do IVF so I can freeze some embies or just to do an IUI. I'm trying to stay calm but its really hard to do when I don't feel confident in my decision. No matter which route I take, I am going to have to wait until April to go for my first cycle. I got the call this morning that the new doctors office forgot to do my FDA bloodwork (testing for std's) which is required when using donor sperm. The results wont come in for a week, causing me to miss this next cycle. I hope this isn't a sign of future issues with this new doctor.
For now I am going to focus on some of the tips to improve my AMH that I found on line. I'm hoping that by changing my diet, it will boost my chances. Crossing my fingers.

Hello Stranger!
I am a horrible blogger! Work has been so crazy that by the time I have a free moment to myself, I just want to sleep. Gavin will be a year old in 24 days! He has been cruising around the furniture for the last few months but is now standing on his own and take three steps without assistance. He hasn't gotten any more teeth in (He has 4 uppers and two lowers). I weened him off the bottle and baby food last month to prepare for our cruise that we are taking at the end of the month. I was going to take him up to Wisconsin to have his first birthday with my family, but in Mid-December I landed a great deal on a balcony cabin that had a cruise date that happened to fall around Gavin's birthday.
I had an appointment to talk to my new RE in February, but I got a call in the middle of January to see if I wanted to come in early. Hell yes!! I nearly fell off my chair when the RE reviewed my chart and told me that my last RE should have not had me doing back to back IUI's and injectables. He said with my numbers, it was clear that the previous RE was just trying to get as much money off of me as possible. The new RE said that I should only be taking clomid, ovidrel and have one IUI done each cycle. Total cost: $525 (my insurance covers ultrasounds and lab tests). My previous RE was charging $1000 a cycle(Meds and IUI's). I was so thrilled to hear the cost that I have decided to start trying next month! I think the best part of only one IUI per cycle is the possibility that I can do more than 3 cycles (I only have 6 vials of Gavin's donor) if I need too. Baby fever is in full-effect!!!
Speaking of babies, my little one just woke up from a nap. Got to go!

It's Been Too Long
I haven't posted in nearly 3 months; it's been way too long between posts. With all the new changes coming my way, I need to start posting more frequently.
So what's been going on: Gavin is nearly 10 mos old now. I had to lower the crib to it's lowest setting three weeks ago because he could pull himself up and almost over the crib railing (I nearly had a heart attack when I saw him with a leg flung over the rail). While he has only taken a few steps on his own, he is very good at crawling. Gavin's like a ninja, he can crawl from point A to point B quickly and silently. I joked with my mom that I need to put bells on his shoes so he will not be able to sneak up on me anymore.
Gavin is such a happy go-lucky kid. He's pretty easygoing and laughs a lot. Teething hasn't been all that kind to him. He got 2 teeth (bottom) when he was 7 1/2 months and he got 4 more (uppers) at 9 months. It looks like he has two more lower teeth coming in right now, so we are back to a lot of drooled stained shirts. For the most part, he handles it well, but I can always tell when a new tooth is about to erupt because he hums when he is in pain.
My son is built like a line backer. He is much bigger than the 14 month old and 18 month old at his daycare. I thought for sure he would have weighed closer to 28 to 30lbs at his 9 month appt but he only weighed 23lbs and was 28 inches tall. Surprisingly he is only in the 41 percentile for weight and height. He has been in size 18month for the last two months and is about to move into some 24 month clothes. My mom said that both of my brothers were built that way but thinned out by the time they started walking so I'm not really all that concerned.
Work has been the same crap but with a twist. My boss is going part-time and will only be available by phone once a week. We have hired two additional people to be over me and my jerk of a project manager, however, my part-time boss is still going to be in charge of day to day activities.....does that make any sense??? Our department runs like crap with him being here everyday, I can't even conceive of how awful it's going to be once he starts managing by phone. Thank god the new hires are awesome and will hopefully not put up with my managers crap. Crossing my fingers. On the brightside, one of my fellow engineers and I used our smarts to land some awesome projects that brought our company $300k in profit in the last two months. We are on fire!! Considering most of our projects barely bring in $10k, this has catapulted us to rockstar status. Take that jerk project manager!
I have been sending out a lot of resumes and was recently offered a new job closer to family and friends. Unfortunately, they wanted to pay me less than what I was making now so it just didn't make sense for me to take the position. So now it is back to sending out more resumes.
In the mean time, I am working to put myself in a good position to try for baby no. 2. I got into a little financial situation 3 months ago but am now back on track money wise. I have an appointment with my RE in February to talk about trying again. I have a feeling he is going to want me to do another HSG and do some blood work prior to my first attempt which means I might be able to do my first cycle in April or May. Of course if I get a new job by then, the timeline might change. Either way, I am SO ready to give Gavin a sibling!

I'm Still Here
Things have been so hectic and every time I have a moment to blog....I just don't have much to say. Gavin is doing really well. He's seven months old already. Can you believe that? Wow time flies:)
So what has my little man been up to: Waving bye-bye, shaking his head no, clicking his tongue, blowing raspberries, crawling, giving high-fives, drinking out of a sippy cup, no more nursing to sleep, giving hugs and kisses, saying "momma" and "I love you" (but it comes out as "a wa woo"). He almost never cries and is a very easy going kid. He's my chill guy.
I have been applying for jobs like crazy again and am in the process of packing. I am very determined to move closer to family and my friends.
Thanks to my dog, we have been very active. I walk about 4 miles a day which has helped me to lose about 20lbs in the last month and a half. Surprisingly, I still have not dropped in sizes in my pants. I think I lost all my weight in my boobs. Not exactly where I wanted to lose it but I guess that's just the way it goes.
I had a number of unexpected expenses come up in the last two months that have rendered me broke. I hate living paycheck to paycheck but I have been doing some side work which will hopefully put me back into a situation where I can start to put money back into my savings account. I'm really hoping to get a call back from a job I submitted a resume for which would double my salary but I'm not sure I'm going to get that lucky. But if luck is on my side and I get the job, I plan to take my first paycheck, cash it into dollar bills, throw it on my bed and roll around on them. Oh a girl can dream, right?

Moving Day
There's a moving truck outside the weird guys townhouse. Could it be moving day????
I spent the weekend putting together a few toys for Gavin. Like the Laugh and Learn Musical Table :http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3109734 and the Musical Dino: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11694189. Oh my, what did I get myself into! We sat and played on the floor for almost three hours. He just couldn't get enough. Neither could the dog. Cooper kept stealing the balls from the musical dino and running away with them. Gavin's balance is starting to get well enough for him to sit up and lean forward on his hands. It made me realize it will only be a matter of time before he is truly mobile. He's already pulling himself up by grabbing on the crib rails but has still not been able to pull into a complete standing position. He's growing up to fast!! I decided to finally bite the bullet and lower his crib and take down the mobile which connects to the side of his crib.
One of the first steps to recover from an addiction is to admit you have a problem....I am addicted to clearance shopping and couponing. I swear I get a high off of making a killing. It's a dangerous feeling. Last week I stopped into JCpenneys the day they put all of their summer clothes on clearance. I figured I could get Gavin all his clothes for next summer. A lot of the shirts were on sale for $2 and the shorts where on sale for $4 to $5, just to name a few of the great deals. My stoller has a U-shaped handle bar which I filled with clothes and then piled more over the top of the canopy. Let's just say I was getting a couple of dirty looks in the store. In total I purchased 48 items (some of which were full outfits) ranging from size 18mos (which he will be in in a couple of weeks) to 3T. Using a $10 off coupon which I paired up with a 20% of coupon, I paid $132. BAM!! The only thing I will need to buy next summer is shoes, socks, a swim suit, 2 pairs of pajamas in 2T, and 3 pairs of pajamas in 3T. I wasn't exactly planning on spending that kind of money this week but I am hoping that it will all pay off next summer when I would probably have to spend two to three times as much to get the same amount of clothing.
I need to keep this new addiction in check or my apartment will start looking like an episode of hoarders. The two new toys Gavin got take up a lot of space which we don't really have. Add that to the clothes he has already outgrown and the ones I just purchased and I am pretty sure I am going to have huge storage issue by the end of next year. I don't want to get rid of his old clothes until I get pregnant again and find out the gender of the new baby. I need to find a solution and quick. Clutter stresses me out!

I'm surrounded by A-holes
Things at home have been really quiet. Scary guy hasn't been seen since last week and I am A-ok with that. I tested out my new pepper spray. Did you know it can take paint off the walls? Lol. Don't ask....
Work has been a whole other battle. I know I have talked about my co-workers in the past and how they tend to do a lot of illegal crap (making us pray before meetings, discrimination based on gender, etc). Well I can add another one to the list. We posted for a new job position in my department and have been flooded with resumes. While some of the people who have applied do not fill the level of education or experience we need, we have had some stellar applicants that well exceed the necessary qualifications. On Friday, my boss was on speaker phone with another one of my co-workers and was reading a very quailified applicants resume to him. This woman's resume was amazing and as I heard what my boss was saying, I kept thinking we need to get this woman in here ASAP for interview. When my boss finished reading outloud the resume he said "she sounds great, but she is ethnically diversed" ... as in she is African American. It was like a needle scratching a record. I could hear everyone stationed around me stop typing immediately. I slowly stood up and walked over to my neighbor's cubicle at whispered to her "did I hear what I think I just heard". By the look on her face I could tell she had. She just shook her head in disgust. I guess crap like this shouldn't be shocking to me anymore, but it still gets to me.
Just a few weeks ago, my boss was trying to organize a group outing to support Chick-fila. I told him I would pass on the offer because I try not to support company's and organizations that are pro-hate. He told me I should go to support free speech. Lol.....nice try. I try not to get involved in all this political crap at work. I think because I don't vocalize that I disagree with their view point they automatically assume that I agree with them and their ultra-conservative ways. Needless to say, I think I ruffled his feathers with my anti-hate comment. Gosh, this got me thinking... I hope my company is not sending money to anti-gay groups... Nahhhh we just give money to politicians...
So I had an issue with a project today and needed to find out the exact verbage and proper interpretation of the law that effected the project. I went to my boss and he had no idea there was even a law in place that would govern this project. 1st big facepalm of the day. I go to idiot manager and he doesn't know anything about it either. 2nd facepalm of the day. I call a friend who works in my field for another firm and he helps me with my questions. To be nice (why do I even try?), I go back to idiot manager and tell him what I've learned so that when this issue comes up again he will A) know that yes... their is a law for this and B) he will know the proper protocol to handle this situation. His response: Laws are for lawyers, we don't need to know this. I give up.....
As I have said before, I am really excited to try for baby no. 2. A wrench may have just been thrown in the wheel however. My RE just retired and a new mega-IVF facility is taking over his practice. I haven't been able to make an appointment with their financial counselor yet, but it sounds like their charges for IUI's are almost double what I have been paying. I'm hoping my research is wrong but it is not looking good.

Something is Still Strange in The Air
Where to begin.... From Sunday the 22nd of July until August 4th, I mostly stayed in doors unless I had to go to work or quickly let the dog out the back door. Since nothing had happen, I was starting feel like I could let my guard down a bit. I also noticed that I hadn't seen the boys outside at the park during this time period and the Dad's girlfriend had her car parked in the same stall, with it's windows rolled down for this whole time period. It was odd and completely unlike the boys to never come out. I was increasingly getting more and more worried that something happened to the kids. I had not shared with anyone what I knew about the police situation because A) I didn't want anyone else to get involved B) know how gossipy people could be and was afraid someone would tell the Dad that I am the reason the cop was at their door; so I couldn't really go and start asking around if anyone had seen the kids.
Finally, on Saturday I was walking outside to quick let the dog out when I saw the boys running towards me. I played it cool and said hello. The boys petted the dog for a few minutes but kept looking behind them. I asked why they were acting so funny and they told me that they were scared that their dad would catch me talking to them. That's when the oldest said that their Dad thought I called the police on them and that if he saw me outside he was going to beat me up, break the windows on my car and slash my tires. I told them it was a shame their Dad was blaming me for the cops being at their house and that I really thought they were both good kids and that the dog liked when they came over to play with him. But then I asked if their Dad told them that he would do this all to me if he saw me, why where they talking to me. The oldest started to tear up and said they were flying back to Cali later that day so they wanted to say goodbye. Then he told me they snuck out of the house when their dad wasn't looking. They have been forced to stay in the house for the last two weeks. I told them how sorry I was to hear that they weren't allowed to play outside. The youngest then said that his dad wouldn't even let his girlfriend outside. I got the feeling like this guy is just crazy paranoid and barricaded everyone in the house. I told the boys that in a couple of hours they will be back by their moms and everything will be ok. They quick gave my dog and I a hug goodbye and they ran back in the direction of their house.
After their conversation, I just kept kicking myself for feeling like I should be doing more. The next morning, Gavin and I were heading out to my car when I saw their Dad out on their front porch with a cigarrette. I pretended like I didn't see him. He first flipped me off and then made a gesture with his hands like he was shooting a gun at me. I kept it together, got Gavin in the car and took off. My heart was beating a mile a minute.
When I got back later that afternoon, my next door neighbor approached me and asked if I was ok. I asked her why and she said she saw what the crazy dad was doing when he saw me. I told her I was ok and just told her that he had been harrassing me for sometime now. She insisted we go talk to the apartment complex and unlike my last conversation with the apartment complex which resulted in nothing, they are now starting the proceedings to evict him from the premises. The leasing agent said she was going to make a call to CPS since I was to afraid to but will mentioned me when she sits down with them so I can provide them with what I know. I'm hoping this will help to get my name out of the report.
I just need to get through the next couple of weeks safely, and we can finally get this wack-job out of the apartment complex. I can't wait for this all to be over with, I just hope that the boys never have to go back to this idiot.
On the brightside of staying indoors for so long, Gavin has had more tummy time than normal. He can roll all over the floor to get to where he wants to go. He has also started to give me kisses. It's pretty humerous when he does it because he opens his mouth really wide and plants one on me. Sloppy kisses but oh so adorable.
Finally, on Saturday I was walking outside to quick let the dog out when I saw the boys running towards me. I played it cool and said hello.

When I got back later that afternoon, my next door neighbor approached me and asked if I was ok. I asked her why and she said she saw what the crazy dad was doing when he saw me. I told her I was ok and just told her that he had been harrassing me for sometime now. She insisted we go talk to the apartment complex and unlike my last conversation with the apartment complex which resulted in nothing, they are now starting the proceedings to evict him from the premises. The leasing agent said she was going to make a call to CPS since I was to afraid to but will mentioned me when she sits down with them so I can provide them with what I know. I'm hoping this will help to get my name out of the report.
I just need to get through the next couple of weeks safely, and we can finally get this wack-job out of the apartment complex. I can't wait for this all to be over with, I just hope that the boys never have to go back to this idiot.
On the brightside of staying indoors for so long, Gavin has had more tummy time than normal. He can roll all over the floor to get to where he wants to go. He has also started to give me kisses. It's pretty humerous when he does it because he opens his mouth really wide and plants one on me. Sloppy kisses but oh so adorable.
