About Time!

I guess it's about time I post again. I haven't been much of a blogger lately, but then I haven't been so consistent since the very beginning. My sister recently posted her 300th blog post, and I don't think I'm anywhere near that many. And I started my blog before her I think. Not that it matters one bit. I've been chastised for saying this before, but maybe when I have children I'll have something worth blogging about.
So, what to say? what to say? There is really not too much to report.
On the homefront, I've finihsed tacking the weekend project chairs (they truly were done that weekend) and finished all the odd jobs around the house as well (like the pillows that were pinned rather than sewn shut. Every day I come home and think what a nice home that I have to come home to. With every project I complete, I feel more and more comfortable and luxurious. I was thinking recently about "clothing" my house because that's what it feels like I'm doing. I think our house has become a good reflection of both Geoff and me and I like that. And doing it slowly means that we can get exactly what we want as opposed to buying things because they're inexpensive.
On the baby front, I have very little to report. We've taken a semi-break, so hopefully folks will stop asking us how it's going on that note (come on, folks, like we need your pressure on top of our own!). I've finished Clomid treatments and am thrilled to say that they're over even though they didn't do the trick. Some people don't react to the drug as strongly as I do, but it did me no good! I felt sooo depressed on it and the hot flashes by the final cycle got to be constant. I'm still experiencing these - this morning I woke with a bbt of 96.8 which is plenty low, but I was sweating like crazy. I can't wait until my hormones sort of get a little more normal - whenever that will be.
Anyway, after the drug-induced depression and the continued disappointment of not being pregnant, I'm laying low for a bit and getting a referral for a specialist clinic for when we decide to start back up. Our next move may very well be in vitro, so anyone for John & Kate Plus Eight? YIKES!
On the bright side, Geoff and I just celebrated 5 years of marriage and we're doing better than ever. I know folks who go through infertility issues and this kills their marriage - it has been doing the opposite to Geoff and I. We both really long for a family, but we are happier than ever just with the two of us. For my anniversary, Geoff let me go to the beach with a girlfriend for the weekend. When I returned, he had cleaned the house and cooked a really delicious roast. I was pampered Sunday and Monday and there's a lot of love going around this house. I really feel peaceful and happy despite our lack of success in the pregnancy arena. Who knows? Maybe that peaceful easy feeling is just what the doctor ordered!
I could probably write more, but why bore you with nothing special? Life is just life, moving onward one day at a time, and yet, I'm happy and at ease. I wish everyone had it as good as Geoff and I - that's how good I think I've got it.
Sorry in advance if I don't post for awhile again. I just haven't had much to say. I'll post something if anything happens. I think we're going to the football game next weekend so perhaps a post then. And my folks visit for the LSU game in a few weeks, so definitely then. So, until then...
