I... am... exhaaaausted. I kind of feel like publishing just that statement. We've been crating our dog, Pavi for a while now. Maybe a few months or so. Lately, the past two weeks he's been waking up in the middle of the night and whining. He doesn't whine loudly at all, it's very subtle but it still wakes me up once or twice a night. I let him out to go pee, and of course he goes and then goes right back to bed. He has no problem sleeping through the night. He's been doing it 5 years! Problem is, he hates sleeping alone. He's also been sleeping in bed with us for the better part of 4 years. He doesn't wake up once when he's in bed with us, just in the crate, and when he wakes up (even in the early am, when he's in our bed) he has to pee, just like we do. Sigh. That combined with the fact that I have had a ridiculous sleep pattern equals one fussy lady. Here's hoping things will be better tonight.
On a side note: I'm still loving my new iPod! It's super fantastic. And it loves me back, I know it does. I bought it case, cleaned it's screen and bought it little sticky protective screen film, too. I think it's happy. Now if I could just get my laptop (mac) and my desktop (pc) to sync their iTunes things would be much, much better.
Things have been so hectic recently, I haven't even had much time to think about the fact that I'm halfway through the two week wait. Just a week to go! I am excited though, and it's gone by super quick which helps I think. My uncle passed away suddenly last week and his service is this Sunday so we've been slightly caught up with that and getting work covered (training the new douche), finding something suitable to wear (aka, buying new clothing because we all know none of us have anything suitable for well.. anything), getting a sitter for our fur-children. Not to mention the obvious fact that we are all pretty upset about uncle Ross' untimely death. He was such an amazing man, in so many ways.
I think I will wake up super early and test on Thanksgiving. If it's positive, I'll break the news on Turkey Day. If not.. I think I'll tell everyone I'm waiting until the day after Thanksgiving, then I'll go out and buy more tests and give it another whirl. Either way I'll probably test the next day again.. just to make doubly sure one way or another!
Oh! Mom and I swung into REI to check out the BOB strollers while we were running around clothes shopping. Needless to say, it was so completely amazing to see it in person. It just affirmed all of my previous ideas about it: It's freaking AWESOME. Mom could even push, turn and collapse it by herself, which if you know my mother you know how amazing that truly is. So we're BOB believers! When the time strikes, we're pickin' up our BOB.
'kay, kiddies. I'm headed to dreamland. Catch you on the flipside.

day 7 of 2WW
Only about a week to go, kids! Today was absolutely exhausting. I have had very little sleep the past few days and it's really taking a toll on me. Tonight I got home at about 10. Oy vey. I'd say I'm going to go to sleep early tonight, but when you get home at 10, your bedtime is already doing everything in its power to be as late as possible. I'm runnin' on empty. I have a million little things to do tomorrow, too. It's making me tired just thinking about it. Does that ever happen to you guys? Even if you don't have a crazy day you have a hundred small errands to run and it just drains you? If I have to drive to more than a few places in a certain amount of time, I get cranky. Maybe its the whole rushing around thing. Grr.
Apparently slight insomnia and fatigue (probably from the lack of sleep!?) are pregnancy symptoms. But dang, it seems like scrolling through the lists of possible symptoms--pregnancy symptoms are pretty much a mix of period symptoms and women-in-general symptoms, so who knows. Well, we all will.. in about a week.
So how was your day?
Oh! And I bought an iPod Nano today! Yes, one of those super nifty new ones. It's green and I'm in love with it. Now if I can just get it to sync like it's supposed to, all would be right with the world.

day 6 of 2WW
Another slightly uneventful day. I mentioned that I'm training this d-bag at work, right? He means well but man, is he unmotivated. I really can't stand people like him. He wants me to work my schedule around his, which isn't going to happen. He's very ditzy and very unreliable. The ditz bit I can deal with. The unreliability is a no-go for me. He's supposed to be training and I have wacky hours lately, but they are the same everyday (minus visitation days), so easy to grasp when I'm there. Also, I've texted him the hours at least 4 times in the past 3 days on top of telling him verbally at least twice. I work 12-1p everyday. Then 5-7. Just until we get more patients. Yesterday (he was supposed to meet me on several occasions, btw) he texted me at 1:15. He was supposed to be there around 12:00. Again, I work 12-1p. He said 'Hey Fallon. I'm just waiting on UPS for a very important package. I will be there by 2 at the latest. Thanks' And I was just like... you have GOT to be kidding me. Again, I told him the hours followed by a 'Well, I will not be here at 2. I closed at 1:15 and have been waiting the past 15 minutes to see if you'd show up and we could at least go over a few things like balancing the books (since there were no patients present, couldn't practice interaction or things of the like). He says 'Oh. Well okay. How about tomorrow night we can practice balancing and I can come in from 12-1 to watch you work.' I said 'Sure, you can come in anytime as long as it's when I'm WORKING.' He said okay.
I get a text at about, oh I don't know... 3:00p. He says 'Hey, I'm leaving my house soon and I'll be there by 4:00.' My jaw must've hit the ground, I'm sure of it. All I can think of is the myriad of swear words that I uttered (oh yes--aloud, by myself) at home while reading that. Wow. I said 'Sure. Go ahead. I will see you when I get there at five.' I'll wrap it up now. He ended up showing up at 6:00p. He texted me before 6, and said he'd be there at 5:00. I mentioned it had been a slow day so I might close at 6:30. Things ended up picking up, so I wanted to stay till 7. He had to go at 6:30 because he had a meeting in South Pasadena at 7. He was there 30 minutes. 10 minutes after he got there, he said he'd be back because he was taking a smoke break. Again, jaw to floor. I said nothing. This moron is sort of like my assistant. I work 7 days a week, a couple times a day and I need a couple days off here and there, especially with fertility and potential baby visits. My boss knew that so he hired a 'filler' to be on call. I have a funeral/service to attend for my uncle Ross this Sunday. Sunday is a visitation day. It will also be this dudes first day working alone. He doesn't seem smart, but any idiot can do this work.. mostly. Or at least struggle through it. Gee, he's had 2 weeks (my boss thought he'd been coming regularly) to train. Imagine---if he'd show up half of those 14 days, he just might be able to swing it Sunday. But I digress..
[Again, boys... stop reading.. TMI!]
Baby things! So, I read online about cervix position and where it typically is and what it feels like when you're pregnant. It's not a for sure thing at all to determine early pregnancy, but I checked mine out anyway. Before I read in depth online, I checked mine. I jumped a little because it was very soft. The first thing that came to mind was an over ripened fruit--which later, I would read that exact comparison online. Apparently, your cervix lifts up farther inside of you when you're ovulating, and the opening is well, open and very soft. If you become pregnant that cycle, it will retain that position but the cervix will close. It will remain soft and high. If you do not become pregnant, it will still close but tends to drop back down and become hard---like an unripe fruit. Like I said, kinda meaningless. Apparently, a woman's cervix can hold many different positions even throughout the course of a day---so who knows! But it was neat to have at least one 'symptom.'
[Boys, you may begin reading again..]
So I made the mistake of making my (in)famous sugared pecans last night. Baaad idea. There is no way those things are going to last a week. I need to come up with a hiding space. Out of human and snout reach. It inspired me to make some for my best friend Ali and her hubby. They eat low carb, so I'm going to substitute the sugar for granulated splenda. Of course, they only sold it in a big ol' bag so I got the generic as it was only $6.99 as opposed to $8.99. I'm sure we'll use it though. We darn well should with this PCOS thing. Anywho, I wanted nothing more than to buy pounds upon pounds of pecans to make an infinite number of candied creations but dang! I swear the price of holiday nuts goes up at the beginning of November. Or maybe that's the only time I purchase them. The cheapest I could find was $6.50 a pound. Not terrible considering they are to die for.
Yikes! Sons of Anarchy is starting. I'd say I'd come back and finish in an hour but this is a ridiculously long blog at any rate. Toodles!

day 5 of 2WW
Well, alright. I suppose it's technically day six as of now seeing as how it's 1:22a. For whatever reason, I'm not quite tired enough to sleep yet. Soon though, very soon. I was making my second batch of cranberry sauce (one regular, one jellied for mom) when I realized I hadn't blogged for today! Gasp.
Let's see! What went on today? Sebastian gets two reviews a year, one with a pay increase/performance review and another regular (no pay) performance review. They are moving him up and up as far and as fast as humanly possible. He is fantastic at his job. He's fantastic at everything he puts his mind to, actually. I do believe they are moving him up not only because of how great he's doing at work, but also as a business move. He'd never worked customer service in any respect before 2 years ago when he started this job. He's very overqualified for the position he started in. The economy has become quite a bit better as of late, and I think they've noticed. I think they want to lock him in at a comparable rate to the $30+ he was making an hour with kornrandolph. I think they know that if he were offered a job at even $20 or $25 an hour plus benefit package--he'd go for it hands down. So they have to do what they can to keep him there! Which, we're totally fine with. He enjoys his job, which is more than he could say about KR. Then again, it was the atmosphere at KR that was horrible, not the work. Ah well. Enough about that!
My day was pretty uneventful. Ate dinner again at work. BBQ chicken again. This time I just got a thigh and made a side salad and called it good. It was good!
So, remember how I was saying that implantation can be as early as 6 days and as late as 12? Well.. today (even though this post is for last nights blog) is the 6th day. The norm is 9 days, so I think I have a couple few left to go. I'm getting excited. And, I think I will test on Thanksgiving. I mean, I would be slightly disappointed if it were negative, but I can take it in stride. It isn't the end of the world. Besides, I'm thinkin' POSITIVE!! And, after all it is just our first cycle of TTC with fertility aid so we're obligated to have a smidge of patience. Right? Right!
Night, kiddos. I've just got to finish up the sugared pecans and hide them away from the hungry mouths that roam my house at all hours of the day and night. Human, canine and marsupials alike.

day 4 of 2WW
Yesterday, the man and I were thinking of squeezing a matinee movie in before I had to go to work. Of course, the show times were not accommodating. So I looked online for Sunday movie times and noticed they are doing $6.00 movies from 6:00a-11:00a. Holy wow!! We're talking half price movies. Yes, tickets for 3D shows go up to $16 a piece during primetime (plus $1 service fee if you buy online, which you should do to guarantee a spot if it's a new one)! So instead of going to the movies yesterday, we ran to the mall instead and purchased tickets for the Sunday (11:00a) showing of Morning Glory. As far as predictable movies go, it was really cute. At least totally worth the $12 we paid to get in. After we purchased our tickets on Saturday, we traipsed around the baby/maternity section of the mall. Yes, they have a 'wing' in the mall dedicated to all that jazz. Of course, my favorite store is still Janie and Jack and I believe it always will be. Will I ever be able to afford anything there? Not likely. But man... their clothes are way to cute.
We had visitation from about 3:30-6:30 at work today. Got a couple new clients in, too. Time went by super quick at work on account of all the visitors keeping me pretty busy. I ate my first meal from the kitchen (5 months later)--I had been scared up until tonight. I... was... starving. I have heard nothing but horror stories or really great reviews, so I was a little nervous to try it. Carbo overload. I ended up just eating the chicken, cauliflower and some carrots and ranch dip. My meal was served with (I kid you not) about a pound of potato salad, of which I had a bite of. I have to say, according to a staff member the 'crappy cook' was in tonight and I found the food decent enough! Hell, it's free. It would have to be pretty terrible for free food to be a no-go for me. When I got home, I fixed my home version of a fast food meal (for Sebastian, not me), harnessed up the pup and took him and the hubby on a brisk 30 minute stroll. It was refreshing. We haven't done that since we moved and it was long overdue. I forgot how much a walk helps me to unwind.
I've been reading that What to Expect When You're Expecting shenanigans and I'm on month 2 of pregnancy. I feel like when we finally get pregnant I will be an expert on nipple changes and lube ducts (also on your nipples). Seriously. This lady talks about large areolas and nipple changes at least 2 out of every 5 pages. No joke. In all honesty, I feel at least more informed than I was to begin with when we started on our journey of TTC. Some things in the book as I've mentioned previously are a little overboard for me, but there really is quite a bit in it (so far) that I didn't know.
I'm not sure if I've ever said anything about this, but I was googling two week wait and very early pregnancy symptoms and of course, I feel as though I have every single one of the symptoms. Apparently, implantation can happen as early as 6 days after ovulation and as long as 12 days past ovulation. The norm is about 9 days. Realistically, I can't possibly be having any of these symptoms. I used to think it was really nice having the ability (if we conceive this cycle) to know exactly when we conceived, but now I'm not so sure! It would be so much nicer just missing my perfectly timed, never late period (ha!) by a few days, testing and getting a big fat positive result. ;)
I hope what I'm getting in regards to 'symptoms' is anything but my period coming. Crappily (yes, it's now a word), I've noticed period symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms are extremely similar if not just downright identical. My back has been sore, but I have back problems and have had 3 surgeries so I suppose it happens occasionally. I'm very, very tired. Nix that. More like exhausted. But, I've also been working 7 days a week, 2 times a day and doing a lot of driving on top of my tons of driving. I get up early and get home after a normal dinner time. So that could very well have something to do with that. The only thing I can't explain away is the nausea. Now, I know it's possibly way to early for that symptom but... nausea is something I never, ever have. I'm nauseous whenever I eat or am preparing food to eat, It revolves mostly around food, actually. When I woke up this morning I was sick to my stomach and food had nothing to do with it. Right now my stomach is doing somersaults... slowly.
That much I know is not in my head! Sure, there could be another reason and there probably is.. but a girl can dream, right? Probably the first and last time in my life I'm wishing for more nausea.
Night kids, got to get to bed.

day 3 of TWW
PCOS friendly holiday dinners? No thanks!
We went shopping today for some Thanksgiving foodie items. I have decided I do not want to make an entire turkey this year. It's somewhat pointless for a couple reasons around here. (1) we never eat anywhere near half since we aren't big turkey-eaters, (2) it's more than likely just going to be the three of us. Sebastian, my mother and myself. We have no business eating an entire turkey! Besides, I'm way too into the sides when it comes to holiday meals. In fact, a couple few years ago we had a Thanksgiving dinner consisting of only sides, no meats! It was actually pretty awesome. A piece of turkey is nice, but that's about it. So we purchased a turkey breast today--it's the perfect size! Just under 3 pounds.
We grabbed the things that usually go quick like sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, foil and stuffing. Random yes, but.. I think I'll finish up the holiday shopping sometime this week. I hate scrambling for things or forgetting things when it comes to that. I was also toying with the idea of making homemade cranberry sauce. It can't be too terribly difficult. What, cranberries, water and sugar? Maybe an orange peel or slice boiled with it? But is it really worth it? How many of you have had homemade cranberry sauce and how was it? I usually make applesauce--now that is definitely worth making--but I'm thinking of doing the cran sauce for Turkey Day and saving the applesauce for the ham at Christmastime.
I don't know what it is this year. It seems like every other year I get very into the idea of holiday cooking. I love to cook and bake... very much! This year, Sebastian and I both are already feeling very festive. I can't wait for the holidays this year. How 'bout you?

day 2 of my 15 day wait
My TWW (two week wait) is actually 15 days, not including the day of the IUI. I've read online that the trigger shot injection can actually cause false positives in pregnancy testing. It's my understanding that the same hormone that is in the injection is the same hormone that rises to give a positive test result.
I think I'll blog every day for the next two weeks. I know it's only day 2, but I'm not feeling anxious at all. Quite the opposite, really. I think I'm more afraid of testing than I am excited and anxious for it. I googled the two week wait earlier today, just to see what other people do, and it's all about distracting yourself from thinking about testing, things to keep you busy etc. Maybe it's because I'm not close to the two week mark yet but I feel great so far and haven't thought about testing at all.
I'd also like to add that if you catch me getting all baby crazy and only talking about babies, getting pregnant or things of the like--keep me in check. Same goes for when we actually have children. I DO NOT want to be that mom that only lives, breathes (and eats? I guess that one doesn't work...) my children. I mean, I say that now.. and of course I have no idea what it feels like to be a mother, and again your children should be a huge part of your life but I don't think they should define you or your relationships with people. I do have an idea what it feels like to be on the other end talking with friends that have had their first child and that's all they talk about. You find that someone you used to have so much in common with before children, all of the sudden you seem to have zero in common with them. I can't stand it when people don't take into consideration the fact that you don't have children when you talk to them. My best friend and her husband are in the military and since everyone seems to have two children by 23, she finds that she has less and less in common with her fellow military wives. And the ones she used to associate with before pregnancy, seem to all of the sudden not remember what they liked to do or talk about before children.
So keep me in line!
I think I'll blog every day for the next two weeks. I know it's only day 2, but I'm not feeling anxious at all. Quite the opposite, really. I think I'm more afraid of testing than I am excited and anxious for it. I googled the two week wait earlier today, just to see what other people do, and it's all about distracting yourself from thinking about testing, things to keep you busy etc. Maybe it's because I'm not close to the two week mark yet but I feel great so far and haven't thought about testing at all.
I'd also like to add that if you catch me getting all baby crazy and only talking about babies, getting pregnant or things of the like--keep me in check. Same goes for when we actually have children. I DO NOT want to be that mom that only lives, breathes (and eats? I guess that one doesn't work...) my children.
