I know that it has been a while since I have updated so I am going to take a little time today.
As far as fertility stuff...my doctor called yesterday and we have set up an appointment for my Hysterosonogram for November 6th. This will allow the doctor to see if there is any blockage in my fallopian tubes. I have heard that many women get pregnant within several cycles after this procedure because they think that the dye may clean out the tubes a little. I am still bothered by hot flashes from my lupron therapy...they are not as frequent now however when they hit they are almost suffocating with lots of sweating. I am sleeping better, but not completely through the night yet. Restless sleep has made me very tired during the day. I feel good until about 2pm then the tired wall hits. I am hoping that by Christmas my body will get back on track and we can TTC with actually hopes of it working. We have been talking a lot about all of our options if things don't work out the way we hope...We are not going to go as far as in-vitro because of the cost and the disappointment of it not working. We have decided that if I am not pregnant within the next year and a half we will start putting our money away for adoption. We are thinking about international adoption.
Nathan and I have been very busy with work and school and we are looking forward to the trip to Mexico where we can spend some much needed time relaxing and hanging with family. Nathan has been missing his family like crazy lately being very overwhelmed with school and working full-time. He has 6 more weeks of school which I hope fly by and then he can have a break over the holidays. I have found out that I am only 1 course and 6 credits of practical experience away from being able to get certified in administration and supervision. My requirements will be complete spring 2011 the same time Nathan graduates and gets his teaching certification. I am going to apply to assistant principal jobs down state (because that is where the money is and where the jobs are). If I get a job we will be moving in that direction summer 2011 if not then we will probably stay up here in the mountains as long as Nathan can get a teaching job, which I think is a good chance especially being a male in special education, and save some money and keep applying to admin jobs down state. Either way will be able to pay down some debt and save some money for our "forever home".
Our house is still in the renovation process. We were hoping that we would be flooring ready by December but that is not going to happen. I work on the house when I can. It seems like we never get anything done but little things are adding up and before pictures really show the work we have done, even though we only seem to focus on the work that we have yet to do.
I am looking forward to the holidays...this is my favorite time of year. My dad and I are going to get the decorations out this weekend because they are in the Holiday open house and because he doesn't want to freeze his hands off putting up lights in late November. My niece is coming up this weekend to trick or treat for the first time and i am very excited she is such a little sweetheart. My sister-in-law is expecting twins and I am kind of hoping for two boys so that Chloe can be the big sister and the only daddy's girl, but knowing the amount of girls in my sil's family who knows.
I have made the decision to go back to weightwatchers. I start this Saturday at the meeting in Cumberland. I have been trying to lose weight on my own, however I just can't seem to do it. The only time I lost weight in a healthy way was when I was in weightwatchers before and attended meetings. I was using the excuse of cost, however it was just an excuse because the cost we will save in food and the need for new "fat girl" clothes from me doing weightwatchers is probably greater then the cost of meetings...in fact I know that it is. I have new running shoes and I have been trying to get out and run, but it has been raining like crazy. I am going to see if I can take the YOGA classes at the Y that are offered after the ww meetings on Saturday mornings so it would be very convenient.
