Had a date with Mum the other day. First time out with her alone since I was a kid, was nice to have mum/ daughter time, we went to see the movie ITS COMPLICATED (with Meryl Streep, Steve Martin & Alec Baldwin) this movie is definatly a chick flick, someting nice for the 30 - 60yr old. If you would like a nice night out with the girls or a catch up with your mum I would recommend this for a laugh.

Got a new washing machine the other day 9.5kg which is great cause I can get so much done, its just a shame the washing line isnt big enough.

Just gave Dante his own bookcase in the lounge room with his books and a few toys on it, he really loves it and it has stopped him playing with DVD's in our bookcases.

Not up to much today, just finished watching DVD (Couples Retreat - Rating 4/5) a nice movie to just chill and unwind with and it still gave me time to get things done while Dante has his sleep.

I have decided that aas I am such a movie fan I am going to add DVD's I watch into my daily blog.

 

Well its been awhile since I've been around, I was really busy with work in 2008 and the great news is I gave brith to a beautiful, happy, health baby boy in September.

I have just brought a laptop so I should be around alot more lately. we are now TTC again and if it hasnt happened naturally by march/ april we will once again try clomid.

Other than that everything is great and we are all doing well. We have just appied to move to a house in Wychproof and we are waiting to hear back so fingers crossed, a bigger house is definatly what we need.

Hope everyone is well and I will try to get around to saying hi soon.

 

Well I had Blood test done on Friday and then againe on Moday HCG level has quadrupled in just 3 days so I guess thats good. I was reading that it should Double every 2-3 days is that correct?

Does anyone know if high HCG levels indicate multiples?

well I did a Home Pregnancy Test last night and got a Big Fat Positive. Then did another in the morning just to make sure (You never know what could change overnight hehehe....) and got another Positive.

So I'll try to get in to the Dr. today and if not today will make it tomorrow.

Hey guys,

Well it's been awhile since I've written anything so I thought I would give you all an update. My Gyne has perscribed 50mg Clomid I started taking this Dec 21st so and had to take it for 5 days, I had blood tests done on day 21 which showed that I Ovulated (finally) so at the moment I'm waiting for 3 more days and then I will do HPT. Thats a quick catch up.

Christmas was really busy and great the kids had heaps of fun and got a heap of toys.

I hate waiting, I would have to be one of the most patient people I know and this waiting is killing me. I'm usually the one saying, "don't think about it" "relax, don't stress" but here I am the one stressing, The one not relaxing.

I have my next Dr. appointment on the 20th Dec if you don't know why check my other blogs. I just got the results back from my pap smear.(normal) I would recomment to all women out there make sure you keep these checks in order have them done more oftern than not. At 22 I had abnormal cells and had to have surgury (Not a plesant experience).

Troy and I have been TTC since May and no luck yet (no period yet either). Anyway I hope the Dr. does something at this visit and not just send me for more tests.

SHE BETTER DO SOMETHING OR I'LL SCREAM.....

What would you do?...You make the choice. Don't look for a punch line, as there isn't one; but please read it anyway.

My question is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: 'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do.  Where is the natural order of things in my son?'

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'

Then he told the following story:

Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps

Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. His Father watched with a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

How ever, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first! Run to first!' Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!' Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball ... the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!'

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!' Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team.

'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.

Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

AND NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY: We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.

If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people in your address book who aren't the 'appropriate' ones to receive this type of message. Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the 'natural order of things.' So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?

A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them.

2. Forward

May your day, be a Shay Day.

This is what you get when you let kids watch Americas next top model....
