Family & Friends

This past weekend two of Josh's brothers came in town. We had a really great time!! They arrived on Thursday evening just in time for St. Patty's Day! We went downtown to Irish Fest and then to Julies for some kareoke! We had a great time, maybe a little too much fun for some of us!

Friday we went to brunch at Another Broken Egg, which was fabulous of course, and visited my sister-in-law Meredith at the Capitol. She is the House Photographer so we got a behind the scenes tour of the Chamber and such! She even took a great picture!

Travis, Josh, Emily, Jeremiah

We then went over to the Supreme Court where we got another behind the scenes tour from my friend Alexis as well as one of the security guards there. All in all it was a great experience for our out of towners as well as for me and Josh. 18 + years living in Tallahassee and I had never been to either! After a quick stop at Tropical Smoothie, we showed the guys our new house we will be moving into on April 1st! We were so happy to see even more progress made on the house and cannot wait until moving day! Friday night was a delish dinner at Bonefish Grill with Alexis and Kyle followed by some intense games of Spoons and Kings! I broke 2 nails and chipped every nail on my right hand...we are all a little competative! Needless to say we were up until 4:30 am which never happens these days!! Soooo much fun!!

Saturday morning the boys went to Another Broken Egg again and I stayed home for some R&R. When they got home we headed to pick up my mom for bowling! We played quite a few games. Of course I was WINNING that day! I won one single game and Josh and I beat Travis and Jeremiah in our teams competition! After bowling it was off to meet Joel, Meredith, Anna and her sister at El Jalisco for mexican food and margaritas! It was yummy of course and we even told our server it was Jeremiah's birthday so he could get the full El Jalisco experience! After dinner we headed over to Joel and Meredith's for some family fun! Meredith's sister Britany, her husband Matt and their little boy Trace came over. We had a really great time playing some games and hanging out.

The boys had to leave at 5:30 Sunday morning. We really enjoyed having them here with us and can't wait until next time (possibly next month). We will be in our new place by then so we will have more room, and maybe have people to our house next time! Thank you to everyone who helped us show our guests a great time!!! xoxo

Now I am back to concentrating all of my energy on my next cycle. I have started the birth control pill that I will take until the 27th. So maybe 4th time will be a charm and we will have some positive action in the beginning of April!

Another Month, Another Negative

So another negative test to add to the millions we already have seen! I already knew it was negative since I took a test yesterday, but I still got the blood test today just in case. You always hold on to that glimmer of hope for that false negative. I was bummed yesterday, but not today since I already knew the outcome. It was a lot easier seeing it alone and knowing ahead of time instead of getting the call at work and retreating to the bathroom for twenty minutes.

I talked with Abby, my Nurse Practitioner that I see every time I go, about 15 minutes ago. She called to break the news. She said she wants to try  one more time with the same medication and up the dosage again. She will start me on day three of my cycle instead of day five and keep me on it for longer than five days. Our goal is to produce more than one mature follicle. I am crossing my fingers for this fourth try because the next step would be injections.

I am trying to be patient, but it's hard seeing the months go by...oh well I'll just have to keep a smile on my face and keep on trying! =) I am so thankful to have such an amazing, supportive man at my side through all of this! xoxo
