Well I’m not pregnant this month. I haven’t “officially” confirmed that yet, if you know what I mean, but I chart my temps and there was a huge drop this morning, so that means I’m out. Bummer. We might try again next month, even though it’s not a “boy month”. According to most polls I’ve seen, the Chinese Lunar Calendar is right about 75-80% of the time. Could be a fluke. Who knows? Oh well. If I got pregnant on my next cycle the due date would be Preston’s birthday! Which is neat for a couple reasons, one being that it’s his birthday and the other being that Ashton’s due date was also Preston’s birthday. We’ll see what happens. I’m not going to obsess over it. (Yah right.)

Even though I’m not pregnant… omg I seriously think I’m showing already!!! LOL! I love when women who are newly pregnant post pictures of themselves and how they are “showing” already. It’s cute.

Does anyone need any dell memory? I don’t. I know Preston needs some things for his computer because his motherboard is frying his ram or something. I dunno. It’s what he said.

I have a lot of things on my mind right now so I apologize in advance if this is all very random!

Baby shoes are probably one of the cutest things ever. I have been looking for little bitty baby Converse for a while and today I finally found some. They are sooooo cute!!! I got the last two pair in the girls size. They had pink ones but only one in their size so I went for the black. You can’t go wrong with these shoes. They go with everything. They were on sale too! It was the best buy I’ve made lately!

I’m excited today because I landed a really good advertising spot for my baby boutique. I can’t wait for it to go up. It’s on a really popular baby website that I frequent. I have high hopes for it!

I was at Kohl’s today buying more white onesies for iron ons, because I ran out of the size I need, and I couldn’t help but gawk over the baby boy clothes. Call me crazy but I have baby fever, already, again! I know I have said that before. We just want a boy really bad. I started charting again so I know when I ovulate, and this month is still a boy month… I’m torn if we should give it a shot this month or not. We’re only trying when the lunar calendar says it’s a boy month for me, like I’ve said before. But I’m afraid if we try on this one boy month, I’ll want to keep trying and not wait until the 5 months of “boy” if I don’t get pregnant this month. Maybe I shouldn’t “rely” on the lunar calendar? All I know is the Chinese still use it and it’s proven to be really quite accurate. I don’t really rely on it, I just want to have the best chances whether or not it actually works! But I don’t have very good will power and I know if I get into the mind set of possibly being pregnant, I won’t want to quit trying until I am pregnant, which is bad because the boy months don’t start until September. I am crazy. Listen to me. Analyzing the boy months and all this silly stuff! I think about babies too much. Is that possible? The only thing I’ve ever really wanted to “be” is a mom and now that I am, it’s the most incredible thing in the world. I just want to be mommy, mommy, mommy! This past year with my hubby and our babies has be the most amazing time of my life. It’s been life ya know? Like really, really, really good living. Does that make sense? I would have an entire house full of kids if I had enough money and space!

Anyway…

Preston is starting school next Monday and I have to admit, I’m looking forward to it and I’m not looking forward to it. He’s going to a refresher course to get his airline dispatcher license. He went to school for this previously but never took his final test. Anyway, so he’s doing that starting next Monday and it lasts two weeks. He’ll be gone M-F from 8am-5pm. I’m going to miss him!!! I’m so used to being with him 24/7. We work together at home and we can be with each other all the time. It’s great. I always thought I would get sick of a person being with them so much but I just love having him here with me all day every day. Also, this is a huge career move for him. He’s going to get a job as an airline dispatcher while he continues his pilot training, and he’ll most likely get a job very shortly after his refresher course is over. Which means he’ll have an out of the house job instead of (yes, instead of, not in addition to… ) his current job. This is a big thing for us. It’s what we have been working toward for a while and now it’s all coming into place. It’s extremely exciting and a little nerve wracking at the same time. I have no problem at all being at home with the girls and taking care of them by myself during the day and all that…. I just have a problem with not being able to get hugs and kisses and talks and jokes all day long!!! I guess I am just extremely spoiled. I’m sure I’ll get used to it in no time. It gives me time to miss him, which is nice sometime too.

Okay. I’m done now.

I got all sorts of new yummy spring and summer ribbons in the mail today. I’m so excited! I made some really cute things earlier while the girls were napping that I’ll put up in the boutique tonight. Oh and don’t forget the grand opening sale ends tonight at 8pm CST so you still have time to make an order! Thank you so much to the people who ordered things and helped to spread the word this past week. I’m very pleased with how the first week went.

So, remember that April fools thing? About the blue months? Well, I’m not pregnant. We were hoping I was, but I’m not. I think. I haven’t started yet but the test is negative. I am supposed to start today or tomorrow. I’m basically pretty positive I’m not pregnant. But, September - January are “blue months” again for me, 5 months in a row, so we’ll be trying come September. Who knows if the Chinese Gender Calendar really works… but it’s been proven to be fairly accurate and I want a boy soooo bad that I’m willing to wait until the most “optimal” time. We didn’t really intend on “trying” this month, it was just one little forgetfulness of getting my birth control refilled. Oops! We want another really bad though so maybe it was a subconscious attempt at “trying”.

So for the summer, I’ll be relaxing in my bikini, because I’m down to 128lbs now. Woooooo!

TMI warning…

It seriously figures that I would start my period the weekend that we are moving. How crappy is that?! I need to be packing and getting everything in order for moving and instead all I want to do is get back in bed and hope for some magical PMS relief. I have the worst timing I swear. I always start my period when something is happening, like if I have to fly or go on a long drive, or MOVE. UGH. I was getting used to not having a period when I was pregnant, it was awesome. Of course I had to trade the no periods for throwing up every day and non stop heart burn, but hey, everything comes with a price, right?

I’m going to put the girls down for a nap and get back in bed for a couple hours myself.

Uggghhhh.

Preston had a stomach bug the beginning of last week, and now as of yesterday I have it. It is not fun. And, now Emma has it for sure and Ava is looking like she might be getting it too. Emma has been spitting up a lot and has the runs, and now Ava has started spitting up a lot which is where it started for Emma. Poor things. No fevers though so I guess that is good. It’s just some tummy bug, I have no idea where it came from. It lasted about 4 days for Preston.

Being sick really sucks.
