Um, *hello* body...what are you doing to me??

Warning:  This might be a little TMI for some...but, when you're TTC, nothing's really TMI in my book.  ;)

Ugh, I'm so frustrated/confused with my chart right now!  As of this morning, Fertility Friend had me ovulating 3 days ago...which I assumed was the case, too, since I had a +OPK that day.  And, since I started charting 3 months ago, I've only gotten one +OPK each month, and always ovulated on that same day.  So, stupid me assumed my body was doing the same thing as usual, and that I ovulated on May 1st.  And, that would also make our timing to be pretty good, since we had sex the day before and the day of ovulation. 

Well, not so much anymore.  For the first time since we've started TTC, I had EWCM today (egg-white cervical mucus), with some brown spotting mixed in.  And when I entered that data into my chart, it doesn't say that I ovulated on May 1st anymore.  Apparently my chart is just as confused as I am!  Grrrr. 

So, I'm kind of at a loss right now.  I'm afraid that we missed our window of opportunity if it ends up that I ovulated yesterday or even today.  :(  I plan on seducing the hubs tonight into some sexy time, but, hopefully I'm not too late!  Please keep your fingers crossed for me, ladies! 

Anyways, sorry this ended up being a rant/vent post.  And, I'm sorry if I bored any of you or grossed you out completely.  lol  Oh, the joys of trying to have a baby!  ;)

Top 2 Tuesday...Splurges!

It's that time of the week again!  I feel like I haven't done a T2T post in a while...I've missed it!





Make sure you head over to Taylor's blog to link up and play along!  :)

Top 2 Splurges

1.  Designer Jeans

Love, love, LOVE me some jeans.  Seven for all Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, Joe's Jeans, Hudson...I'm a little obsessed.  But, seriously...who doesn't love an awesome pair of jeans that make your legs and butt look amazing?! 



2.  Designer handbags

I have to say, I'm kind of a Coach wh*re.  Since they're (in my opinion) reasonably priced when it comes to a designer handbag, I ask for a new bag at any change I get!  Christmas, birthdays, Valentine's Day, 'I-just-got-a-BFN-and-I'm-feeling-really-sorry-for-myself' Day.  ;)  Ok, so maybe I'm exaggerating just a teensy bit, but, what girl doesn't love a new handbag?! 



I hope everyone has a great week!!  :)

NYC = Fail

Unfortunately, I woke up today not feeling so hot (who let me have that glass of wine at 1am?!), so we had to take a rain-check on the NYC day trip.  Boooo.  :( 

But, it's probably a good thing we didn't go today anyways....a car bomb was found last night in Times Square and they had to shut it down for hours!  SO scary!!  Thankfully, it didn't go off or anything...but, they said if it did, it could have been a 'very deadly event.'  Wow....crazy.

So, we're still planning on doing something today...but, it'll probably be a little more low key.  We haven't decided yet, though.  That's the thing about CT...there's tons to do in the surrounding states/areas, but, CT itself is so bor-ing.  Hopefully we'll find something semi-exciting/fun to do!  :)

I hope you all have a nice, relaxing Sunday on this beautiful day!  And, if the weather's not so nice where you are...enjoy the day curled up on the couch or in bed, with a good book or (if you're a tv junkie like me) with your DVR'd shows.  ;)

NYC...here we come!


 I hope everyone's having a great weekend!!  The weather here has been PERFECT, so far....and I couldn't be happier!  :)  So, hubs and I have decided that we're going to be spontaneous (seriously, we need to do this more often!) tomorrow, and head to NYC for the day.  Ahhhh, I'm SO excited!  It's going to be absolutely gorgeous out tomorrow (around 75/80 degrees)...the perfect day to walk around the city.  I've actually never been to Central Park before, so we're planning on hitting that up for part of the day, and then just go from there.  I love days like that....no specific plan or anything, just go with the flow. 

So, hopefully I will be back tomorrow night or Monday with lots of pictures of our adventures!!

Oh, and I definitely plan on stopping here to have a cupcake (or 5!)...Mmmm!!

*Wedding Wednesday*

Hi lovelies!!  I'm so sorry I've been such a terrible blogger!  I honestly just haven't had anything to blog about lately, and I didn't want to bore you with my random thoughts throughout the week.  I swear, I've had such bad 'bloggers block', it's not even funny.

Sooo, I figured, what's better than another post with one of my favorite things....pictures, of course!  :P

Since I started blogging, I haven't really mentioned one of the best days of my life, so far...my wedding day!  :)  So, I thought it would be fun to share a few of my wedding pictures every Wednesday, for the next couple of weeks.  What do you think?  Hopefully you'll enjoy them!  I know I love looking at other people's wedding pictures...but, if I'm boring you all by AWing my pictures, just let me know and I'll stop.  lol


The rings...including my 'something blue'


My beeeeautiful bouquet...LOVED it


Doing the 'pretend to put on your earrings' pose


Me and my girls



The ceremony


And, that's all for now!  I hope everyone's having a great week.  Only 1 more day until Friday...woohoo!!

~*Thoughtless Thursday*~

So, I just found a new blog that I L-O-V-E...and, I'm sure you all probably know about her awesome blog already, but, just in case you don't, you definitely need to check out Katie's blog @ Life in the Fulmer Lane.  I mean, any girl who loves Disney just as much as I do should automatically be my BFF.  Right?  ;)

Anyways, I'm joining in on her 'Thoughless Thursday' post this week, and I think it's just what a need!  A fun, random post that has no reason or meaning to it...it's just for fun.  :)

Photobucket

So, since my last post was kind of down, and not very fun, I'm going to post about stuff that makes me happy/smile...and I hope it makes a few of you smile, as well.  :)  I mean, what's better than a 'these are a few of my favorite things' post?? 

 :::Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens.  Bright paper packages tied up with strings...these are a few of my favorite things::: 

I love that movie.  Anways, this is turning into a 'Thoughful Thursday' post...sorry!  Here are some of my favorites....other than my hubs, fur-babies, family, and friends, of course!   

(Warning:  Picture overload!!)















Ok, that's all for now.  I think I've bombarded you with enough pictures for tonight!  :P

MIA

Hi ladies!  I've missed you all SO much.  I'm really sorry I've been MIA lately.  It's just been one of those weeks, and I can't seem to get out of this funk and put myself in a blogging mood.  I'm sure you all know why I'm feeling this way...there's usually only one reason why I get like this.  *points to ticker*  Spotting + huge temp dip = no baybee for me.  :( 

I actually started spotting on 10DPO, and that seems to be the pattern for the last couple of months.  I ovulate, give myself a break from all the sexy time (it's getting to that point girls...not so much fun anymore.), and then by 6-9DPO, I start getting really excited/anxious about testing and wondering if I'm pregnant or not....and then, BAM!!  10DPO spotting, right on schedule.  Ugh.  Hey, at least it's consistent.

So anyways, unfortunately, I don't really having anything exciting to blog about right now.  And, I'm just not really feeling up to it anyways.  I'm really sorry.  I still check in with all my favorite blogs (which is ALL of them.  lol) every day, and I love catching up on everyone's lives/babies/families.  It gives me hope..it really does.  Some days/weeks are just harder than others, and I guess this is one of those months.  I think since I'm hitting the 6 month mark of TTC, it's really hitting me.  HARD.

I promise I'll be better in a week or so.  I hope you're all doing well!  **smooches**
