I'm Stylish!

It's taken me awhile to get around to accepting this award. I'm thrilled to have received it from Carlia at The Stork Drop Zone who's style I admire very much! She's actually inspiring me to get moving on decorating my house after she posted some great shots of her adorable dining room recently. So Carlia, thanks very much!

I'm not going to pass the award on right now, because I think that it's pretty well made the rounds, but I will take this opportunity to tell you a little more about myself by answering the ABCs of my journey...

A. Age when you started TTC (Trying To Conceive): 34

B. Baby Dancing or Sex: Sex, nookie, practice, get it on.
C. Children wanted: 2 would be nice, 1 would be incredible.
D. Dogs/Cats/Fill in Children: Two cats that came with Hubby, who like me sometimes, and other times run away from me when I treat them like dogs.
E. Essential Oils/Vitamins/Snake Oils: Multi-vitamin
F. Fertility Meds I’ve taken: Clomid, Gonal F, trigger shots, one day of Menopur...and a whole big long list starting in a few weeks.
G. Gain: Definitely gain. Holding steady so far...maybe up a pound or two from my low this fall. But it varies daily so it's hard to know for sure.
H. HSG (Hystosalpingogram): Clear.
I. Infertile Pet Peeves: People who complain about parenthood or pregnancy.
J. Job title: Interior Designer
K. Kid’s names you’re afraid will be taken by the time you can use them: see this post
L. Length of time TTC: 25 months not protecting, 19 months paying attention, 13 months since my first dose of Clomid
M. Miscarriages: Chemical Pregnancy in Feb 2010
N. Number of times you’ve switched OB/GYNS, REs, FSs: My primary sent me to an OB/GYN, one RE from there. Considering a second opinion depending on the result of our upcoming IVF.
O. Ovarian quality: Totally fine.
P. POAS (pee on a stick) or wait for AF: I wait more often than not.
Q. Quote from an obnoxious fertile: "I can't feel bad that you have insomnia, my 5 month old doesn't sleep..."
T. Time you tried naturally: approximately 1 year depending on when you start counting
U. Uterus quality: ready for the cover of Uterus Magazine.
V. Vitamins? Just a regular women's multi-vitamin. My digestive system was rebelling against pre-natals with too much extra iron.
W. What baby stuff do you already have?: Just a bunch of fabric scraps from blankets I've made for other babies, hoping to make one for my own child someday.
X. X-tra X-tra Hear all about it! How many people know the ins and outs of our crazy TTC journey?: I'm not sure anyone but our therapists know all the ins and outs, but our moms and siblings know that IVF is coming, and my bridesmaids.
Y. Yearly Exam. Do you still go in even though someone sees your lady parts most months?: Haven't been for anything except a pap smear because I had an abnormal last year and they needed me to follow up.
Z. Zits: Lately I've been breaking out on my chest. Not fun.
