The planets align themselves to help make your dreams come true when Mars enters Pisces on March 14, and the cosmos conspires to make your dreams come true!

March 14.... AF is due.... or NOT due..... Interesting. I need to stop paying attention to star signs and dreams.... LOL

We had McK's sports day this morning. Was a bit annoyed cause DH couldn't make it due to work issues. But we had fun none the less. My baby did so well!! I'm so proud of her, no she didn't win but she is always number one in my eyes!!

It's on his right inner arm, (above the elbow).

I got my MCK fixed up too. Will post pics when it's healed, it looks odd at the moment. All chuncky and scabby..... So check back for pics sometime next week....

We (I) are about to OVULATE!! Wish us luck and plenty of babydust. For a change I'm Oing a little later compared to the last two cycles..... On my tickers are wrong, I'm CD13 not CD12....

Have a great weekend and behave yourself!!!

Put the brakes on your latest big project or relationship issue -- you need to stop and think things over first. It may take all day or even longer, but you need to be happy with the end result.

Too late now.....

At least.....

Argh I hate that word ....

Even more so when it's attached to the rest of the sentence which includes.... have a child already......

Here is an article shared on the MB Social Network.... But I'm going to share it here as well.....

Secondary infertility is the condition where a woman who has had a baby, struggles to conceive or carry a baby to full term the second time around.....

The guilt and loneliness of trying to conceive again
Trying, and failing, to conceive a second child is one of the loneliest battles to face. We sympathize with women who struggle to conceive, and celebrate with those who do, but what about those who fall somewhere in the middle?

And the guilt is often overwhelming. Do you have a right to feel so desperate, when there are many women who have never felt the indescribable joy of a baby growing inside them? How can you share your anguish with the world when you already have one perfect child? Coupled with the guilt and inadequacy you feel at being unable to produce a sibling for your existing child, secondary infertility can be heartbreaking.

The insensitivity of others is also incredibly painful. “You’re long overdue for number two”, or “How can you be so selfish and bring up an only child?” are comments many couples have to deal with, when the world sees you’ve already produced one child.

Secondary infertility is more common than you think. Secondary infertility is a lot more common than people realize. Many couples who are battling to conceive a second child are not offered treatment options by their doctors as, after all, you have produced a child already. Telling you to keep trying can result in a lot of time wasted as nobody is investigating the problem.


I'm a tad bit over sensitive today.....

Had to share this.....

I had a dream last night that Dh and myself (plus another friend couple who are also TTC) were renewing our wedding vows.....

So I went onto Dream Moods to see what it meant....

Wedding:

To dream that you are getting married to your current spouse again, represents your wedded bliss and happiness. It highlights your strong commitment to each other. It may also signify a new phase (such as parenthood) that you are entering in your life.

In my dream we had Sunflower arrangements with wheat in them,

Sunflower:

To see a sunflower in your dream, symbolizes warmth, abundance, longevity, and prosperity. The sunflower also serves to point you in the right direction and is a source of spiritual guidance. Even through difficult times, you will persevere.

Wheat:

To see grains of wheat in your dream, indicates prosperity and abundance. Opportunities and doors are being opened. You are on your way to achieving your goals. Alternatively, wheat symbolizes resurrection, reincarnation and fertility.

Now tell me not to read too much into it......

:) Much better.....

Sorry not sure what came over me yesterday, but I'm much better today.....

Anyone want a recap of our weekend..... here goes.....

Friday night we had a BBQ with M&H... Just before they arrived our other good friends N&F arrived with their two boys. They ended up staying for the BBQ as well. You should have seen what McK's room looked like. Oh my...... I didn't think it was possible to mess a room up so badly. You couldn't even see the carpet. Everything got emptied out and unpacked. WOW....

Then Saturday N&F "kidnapped" us and took us to this little "town" about an hours drive from home. Hartbeespoort. The kids had so much fun playing and running around. We really need to go there more often. And maybe earlier in the day, since by the time we got there most of the places were closed already.

Sunday, we went to Church. McK has never been in a Church before **blushing** So this was a first for her. Although it didn't go quite like I wanted it to go. She wouldn't go with the other kids to the Sunday School. So we had to sit in the Mother's room, where she had a great time playing with toys!!!!! Now this is not what I wanted her first Church experience to be like. She now thinks Church is a "play date"...... **rolls eyes** Guess we will have to rectify that next Sunday. Craig was in such a mood because he had to be at work straight after the service... so he was so miserable at Church. I was so mad, cause I was quite enjoying it and thought the pastors sermon was directly aimed at Craig and I.... but with Grumpy and McK I couldn't get much in...... oh well......

So that is our weekend in a nutshell. Hope you all had a good one and that the week ahead is GREAT.....

:)

Need a happy pill

I'm so incredibly sad today and I can't even tell you why or what caused it.... I could sit and cry for hours on end. (At least it feels like that.)

This is going to be a long day.......

Now I need to focus while writing this. It’s been a long tiring weekend, and I’m probably not going to remember much.

We went away the weekend with a few friends. It was about a 2 hour drive to Plek Zonder Naam. We have been there before, about 2 years ago. I forgot how beautiful it is. It’s a hunting lodge with a few chalets. Sleeps about 24 people. Our friends booked out the entire lodge for the weekend. Which was maybe a very good thing, since we were quite rowdy.

Now being a hunting lodge then is quite a few “Stuffed Animals” on walls etc. The room where we were supposed to sleep had a massive Giraffe in it. High up against the wall. So as you walk in, you have this animal peering down at you. McK was petrified of it!! I eventually got her to sleep outside around the fire. Took her in when we went to bed. It wasn’t even half an hour and she woke up screaming. I felt terrible for her. So it was back outside again. Thought I would try again…. Nope she wouldn’t have it. If she felt me standing up she would cry. She covered her eyes and cried. We ended up putting a mattress in the back of the van and slept there. (Both nights)

The rest of the weekend was spent in the swimming pool or next to the fire. All in all it was a very relaxing weekend. It’s such a pity we didn’t have the camera on us. I even had a brave moment and came into contact with a frog. Yes, I Marcelle, stood for 2.5 minutes next to a frog and actually looked at it. Baby steps baby steps. I’m sure working on my phobia.

The kids were so well behaved. Everyone played with each other and there wasn’t any fighting or tantrums to report. The girls played make believe the entire time, we even had to call them on their new names. We had a Cinderella, Snow White, Princess, Barbie…. And I was nicknamed “Step Mother”. I can’t imagine why?????

On the TTC front…. I was so excited Friday. I still hadn’t started spotting. Boobs were aching. I had some serious Nausea waves the entire weekend. But the biggest was NO SPOTTING. How ever, AF came crashing on my parade at 5:30pm yesterday afternoon. I took it quite well. But today is another story. I’m broken…….

Welcome cycle 37……..

Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that i...........


And that is the only explanation for my beautiful temp this morning......

I wish I could have slept till 8am this morning. We just couldn't get out of bed. This included the four year old. Grandma's party was way too much fun.

I need to be focused today but I'm not so sure how I'm going to do that. Wish me luck....

I have a little favour to ask. Please vote for McKenna in this competition. Yeah, I have a thing about winning :) Just click below....

Entering the 1ww

And I just know it's going to be a long long wait!!!! I'm resisting the urge to test already. It's not going to be an easy task. I keep looking for any differences in this cycle. Something that could maybe just hint that this is THE ONE.

All I can come up with is that my tummy isn't lekker at all (since the day after O till now) and I have (TMI) way too much Creamy CM. But that could be due to the Fertivor. I thought my bbs were sore last night, but then that feeling faded.

Oh the joys of IPS. If we were PG now, our due date would be right round the time of my brother's 21st Birthday, towards the end of October. I would LOVE an October baby.... Yes ok, any month really but October seems like a nice month to have a baby don't you think????

I will of course test on Friday before we go away for Nita's Birthday weekend!!!

So what......

I'm gonna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight
Na na na na na na na
I wanna start a fight
I wanna start a fight
{CHORUS}
So...
So what!
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what?
I'm havin' more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you
Tonight...
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So...
So what!
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight


I didn't really have anything to say, so thought I would just share my song of the week......

On the TTC front... Hmmmm, 5dpo and going strong. I need to chose a new Gynae due to the new Medical Aid. Which is actually a good thing. I can now get rid of my lazy @ss old fashioned guy that has done nothing but cause me great stress the last 3 years.....

I'm supposed....

to be working on my project. But I just can't get myself to open the folder and click....

I'm as lazy as lazy can be and then some. :)

Oh I'm apparently a magician according to McK. She woke up this morning and asked why I made her daddy disappear? (DH went to work early today) LOL... Told her not to worry I will make him reappear on Pay Day.... LOL

Since I have ovulated already I have no use for him until then...

** Insert evil laugh here **
