Aww, I love those names. Scarlett is on our list too Derek and I are on the same page for names for the most part, but he won't let me give Mona for a middle name for a girl... It was my favourite grandmother who passed away's middle name. I have her first name as my middle name, but I REALLY want Mona Cheri for middle names (I have two and want to continue that tradition, and one of my best friends is Cheri-Ann, and she doesn't plan on having kids of her own.) and in french "Mon Cheri" means "my beloved", but the masculine version... But that's okay So I will work on him hahaha. Besides, I don't think he'll argue much with a pregnant me. GRIN.

I miss my predictable 30 day cycles. SOB. Lol. Ah well... Maybe they'll go back. OR maybe I'll get knocked up this cycle and it won't matter Fingers crossed that's the case and also that your cycles stay the same! I sooo hope you get your BFP in a few weeks! How exciting!

And I agree that the medical community totally takes advantage, because having a child is deemed as a luxury I suppose, but any 16 year old can get knocked up and put on welfare. Sigh.

I know what you mean... My Mum found out she was pregnant with my baby sister the day my step dad was due for a vasectomy LOL. Sheesh. I just want one. Is that so much to ask for?? And my brother is SO against me having kids cause he finds he wasn't ready so he thinks I am not ready either. He's clearly blind, lol.

I'll let him know you like it haha! And I don't want him to *hate* the name, so we'll still have to discuss. Maybe he'll warm up to it. Please warm up to it!!! Hahaha.

Do you have middle names that you like?

Aww, thank you hun! Happy New Year This is the year for us, hun I can feel it. Actually, all I feel right now is hung over... Haven't drank since Halloween, and my friends that are helping insisted because it's new years lol.

I have always wanted a large family, but my hunny was DONE after his two. My ideal family was 5 little ones, and I told Derek his two count so that means three... He didn't quite see eye to eye on that one lol. But I will probably get two of my own. He says "One, and we'll talk about two." to which I always reply "So two, and we'll talk about three?" Which he also doesn't find very amusing...

I agree that names are impotant. I like mine, it's unique in spelling which I hated when I was little, but I like it now, and I go by Cait, which is common but the spelling is still unique. And I love having two middle names, though my name is so long that it is misspelt on my diploma because they ran out of space for letters...

Congrats on being an auntie!! Yay I love new babies, but it always makes me a little sad. And yay for baby making I was just bugging Derek that we haven't done the deed at all this year hahaha. And glad you had a good meal, but now I want lasagna LOL!

And I could probably convince him, but money would be an issue I think with 3. Though I'd love it... If I have 2 boys that might be the only way I would convince Derek of trying one more time.

I am getting impatient already which is silly, it's only the wee hours of CD6. But we have the date for the first insemination on the 8th, which will be cycle day 12, approximately 2-3 days before ovulation. I bought the digital ovulation tests because timing isn't as crucial, and the smilies somehow take the stress away. And I bought a 10ml syringe today, it was less than 2 dollars and it comes with a cleaning brush which is a bonus. I have a 5ml one but it seemed so small lol. This time we're just going to try this way, I'll prob get more stuff each cycle we try, knowing me.

Did you manage sleep? I sure haven't yet lol. 2am and wide awake, sigh. I blame our friends, we were over at their place watching Law Abiding Citizen. Mmm Gerard Butler...

Aww, don't stress!! We got this, lol. You'll find your surge, and even if it disappears before you go in it doesn't mean you're done ovulating and missed your chance. You ovulate around 24-36 hours after the first sign of surge. And you'll catch yours, don't worry!

I really hope that this is our month... But I am scared and excited for all the changes a BFP will bring. Derek's kids are still not pleased, according to their mother... And that could be mainly their mother's fault lol. She put the idea into Derek's daughter's head that we won't be able to support them and a new baby... She makes me SO mad as it's none of her business!

I managed to fall asleep at around 2:30 or so. Wish I had an off button for my mind, lol. I'm going to be spending the day with the donor and his kids Going to the biggest mall in the world. Though I don't think they call it that anymore... Biggest entertainment centre? I dunno. Biggest something, LOL! But when you live here it isn't as entertaining anymore.

 

[Naaxi]

Oh! And yes, we have two dogs, one big one and one small one. And a cornsnake

I would have to agree, being a mum will be amazing. My brother's gf smiled at me the other day when I was calming my baby sister down and said "I could definitely see you with kids." (to which my brother replied "Don't encourage her.") But I know he'll be a proud uncle when we're finally preggo.

I am so excited, I really feel this will work And because I have seen what his kids look like from two different women, I think it will be interesting to see what ours looks like and how they act.

I am very jealous that you live by a beach, I adore swimming and would be pretty fit if I lived by one lol. I am a fish, don't need to be entertained by anyone while I'm swimming, just me and the water, and it's been that way since I was very little.

I hope you're right, though, and that we will grow closer with a little one. It usually goes one way or another, but Derek and I are so in sync I think it can only bring us closer. The stress of not having one is greater than that of having one, in my opinion.

But we will both get those BFPs!! ! Swim, troops, swim!!

Aww, well I hope that the roller coaster of ttc is quick for you guys How long have Brock and you been together?

And I have boy clothes from a friend, and have bought a dresser and have a few of my old teddies in there. I have also painted the whole room myself and even painted a mural on one of the walls. I haven't bought a crib or highchair or stroller but we have chosen the stroller already... Oh and I have a swinging chair that hangs from the roof in there as well. But no new clothes either. But I am always tempted...

Your son doesn't like swimming? I love swimming, I'd prob just set up a bed right on the beach HAHA.

We've been together just over two and a half years as well Got together May 15th of '08. And there is a pic of the mural on fbook under my mobile pics. It's not the best pic to do it justice but hey, lol.

Yeah, that's good that his dad takes him then, lol. Works out for everyone. But yeah, I would be the same, would probably go all the time. What's the yearround average tempuratures there? Like for example it goes from -40c (which is the same in f) to maybe 30c in the summer. Not sure what that is in f, I'd look it up but can only have one internet window open on my phone.

Gosh I'm so late for work. Stupid busses. And stupid alarm not going off. I work full time, usually Tuesday to Saturday with Sunday Monday off which works wonderfully as those are Derek's days off. Right now I work in a generally commercial with some retail paint store mixing paint colours. They're world wide, so you may have an ICI Paints over there Hauling huge 5 gallon pails and talking to rude contract painters isn't my ideal job, but I do what I have to lol. What do you do for work?

[Naaxi]

LOL I adore painting I'd come to your place in an instant if I could afford the flight LOL! The warmth and beach call to me I only like snow on Christmas. I think it should be warm all year round, then have a freak blizzard the 23rd to the 26th and then back to warm

And I have seen commercials for citibank, but don't think we have any here in Canada. Your job sounds just about as fun as mine, lol. I am too stubborn, though, and if I wanted to close my credit account I would be pissy if someone tried to stop me lol. I bet you get that a lot. Luckily I don't have a credit card... Though I will need one asap for the wedding. I don't want to be rediculous about it, though... I bought my dress for $200 Sadly it is too small lol. But I have an easy fix Hopefully the alteration doesn't cost me as much as the gown did, though, LOL! I want to keep cost of a one day event down. I'll soon have better things to spend my money on.

Have you caught the surge yet? I am getting anxious for mine already. What day are you now?
