OPPS!!!

So, here I am apologizing to my blog for neglecting it.....blog I am so sorry that I put you on the back burner....you have been a good friend that always listens to me vent.....and I am sorry :( Things around the house have been CRAZY!! Between family issues, a wedding, a baby shower, work, and my new makeup obsession I have just been a lousy blogger, nestie and email checker. Oh and apparently a really bad birth control taker! I just looked at my packet and I have literally missed 7 pills this month......yes that is correct, it does say 7! But I am being punished for this by starting my period a week, exactly one week early. So if anyone has any ideas on what I can tell my doctor when I go see her, it would be much appreciated! Like I said, I have neglected EVERYTHING! My one and only excuse is that the Internet at work is out.....now don't get me wrong I am a great worker and I always put the Internet last, but at least I know its there when things are slow and no one wants to talk. I have my late night nestie friends to talk to and lots of posts to read and reply to. But lately I quickly check the board to make sure everyone is ok and then go relax. So, if any of my nestie friends are reading this, please accept my apology for being a bad nestie friend!

Anyways, I have decided to break this blog down into a few different parts. The first part is going to be the infertility part and the second part is going to be about my new obsession. So, here it goes!

In light of it being National Infertility Awareness Week, I wanted to say a few words about this. I, as well as my husband, think it is wonderful that someone came up with this. No one knows what it is like to have IF issues unless they are going through it themselves. The frustrations of people making comments who have no clue what it is like to be in someone else's shoes, the UNWANTED advice from fertiles, doctors appointments, pills, temps, charts, I could go on and on. So here's to ALL my IF friends, you are some of the strongest and bravest women I have ever met.....thank you for your comfort and for being there to listen. Now that I got that out.....lets talk about our IF problem. I realized, when the weather turned to over 80 degrees this week, that this could POSSIBLY be our last summer together just me and my husband. I have decided that we are living it up this summer! I want to have plans for every weekend and not only that but I want this to be a summer to remember. Maybe it won't be our last summer together by ourselves but there is a small chance that it will. So, we are going to make the best of it. My husband has a follow-up appointment with the Urologist in May and my next appointment is in June. I will have to start my progesterone blood draws again and they want him to do another SA, so what I originally thought was going to be the start of preparing for an IUI in June has now turned into yet another delay. I guess I have to let the doctors do what they get paid for and that is tell me how to get pregnant. FRUSTRATING!!!

On to my next topic, my new obsession. Taking these birth control pills (BCP's) has somehow had and adverse effect on me and instead of clearing up my skin, I now look like a 15 year old going through puberty! I luckily have a good friend who is makeup obsessed and has now made me obsessed too. For anyone looking for some tips......here they are! Revlon Colorstay foundation is the best thing in the world!! I have never used a foundation that makes my skin look so clear! I did need to buy two different shades to create my own but luckily they were just 50% off at the store. Another wonderful thing is mineral powder. I always looked at that stuff and figured it would never stay on throughout the day.....I was very wrong. These powders also help make my skin look flawless. And on top of all of this, there was no transfer of makeup on my clothes and it seems to be pretty sweat proof. Another tip, always moisturize and use a primer. That helps the foundation stay on. Now I just need to work on my eye makeup and I will be set. I am anxiously awaiting my palette of 88, yes 88 eye shadow colors which I ordered from Coastal Scents. I figure if I can't get pregnant....I can at least look good trying!!! So, that is my new obsession. If anyone has any other tips or products to try let me know!

This is probably one of the longest blogs I have ever written and I must say I have really missed it. There is so much more I want to talk about but I will save it for another day. I now have one follower! Thank you cycle buddy for following my somewhat uninteresting blog! And thank you for noticing that I haven't been around! With so many people on the board, you start to wonder if anyone notices when its been a while since you have posted. You guys are the greatest!
