Holding my breath on things....

So still working...boo! But I am trying to find a way out of here! I am hoping I got something up my sleeve so I can call it quits to teaching for at least 2 years until the girls are in school. We shall see.

I LOVE fall! It is college football season and the leaves are starting to change! I love it!

I love my girls and being with them just rocks. It is hard to imagine my life without them and boy I must have been bored before them! The girls are just awesome in every way and I can hardly believe that Bobby and I created them!

Here's some pics of them picking out their pumpkins:



Lara saying "cheese"



Kristin on top of her pumpkin

Oh and here's something else:



Shocked that we got this far. Had a Beta done on Friday at 12 dpo and it was 188. I went yesterday for one so waiting on that result. And Dr M wanted to see us when the nurse told him Friday. Probably cause he missed seeing Bobby. So I will see what he says today. Prayers for healthy please! Oh and we are keeping it on the downlow right now.

Sad September

Our Mommy went back to work and that sucks! We are mad and we don't like it!

So September has started and with that it means, Mommy is back to work. I did not go easily, I went kicking and screaming. Then Irene came and though I didn't have power for days, I enjoyed having a few more days with the girls- power or no power. Isn't it pathetic, I enjoyed a hurricane cause I got to be with my kids? Sad. Now I am eyeing the tropics, just kidding...kinda. No really we were lucky in that we had minimal damage and we are all safe. It was a pain to not have power for over 4 days with 2 kids, but a generator is nice thing to have. Our area still has alot of damage.

A friend coined the term "Sad Sundays", you know the afternoon on Sundays when you realize that Monday is right around the corner and you get all glassy eyed. That's how I feel about September...and every Sunday of course but only during the school year.

Here's some of the girls 2 year portraits:



My precious Kristin



Chillin' Kristin



My loving Lara




Laughing girl

In other news, last month BFN, but I do believe I Oed on my own. I had my second 28 day cycle but with some major monitor mix up we missed prime time per se.

However, I am currently 1dpo. And I managed to get in some good BD in. So now we wait. Just hoping for whatever God has in store for us. Starting to accept that our family is probably complete. Which that's ok. But #3 would be awesome too! Time will tell!

Happy 2nd birthday!

They had their birthday the Monday night. We are having their party on Sunday, since we were on vacation last week. Here's a little preview of my girls having their birthday cupcakes!






Kristin likes cupcakes



Mmmm...good




Lara kept saying "Cupcake yummy Mommy" over and over and over



Yes it is Yummy!

Had their 2 yr old appt. Got the clean bill of health which is the most important part.
Kristin is 25 lbs 5 ozs (25th) and 34 in (25th)
Lara is 22 lbs 15 ozs (10th) and 32 5/8 in (10th)

They are growing well and hitting milestones. YAY babies!

So I will confess, I cried about them turning 2. Turning one wasn't as hard for me as turning 2. Am I going to cry every year?

On the TTC front: PCOS is being a Biotch! She is effing with me and this is SO NOT COOL! All my good vibes from last month have stopped. I am CD 14 with NO ovulation in sight. Send me some healthy O dust! I need something! Since we have a limit on what we will do and how long, I just feel...ughhh!

Shocker

I figured. Not surprised. Barely flinched.

I do however have the cutest girls ever! They are SO sweet it makes my heart swell with love when I hear "I oov you Mommy" sealed with a "kissey". I love that they walk over grab my face and plant one on me and say "kissey Mommy kissey" Ahhh...I love them so much it is amazing. I would do anything for them!

Here's some things we have been up to on Mommy's spell of being a SAHM for the summer.

Their first pony ride...It was awesome. Except they allowed us to put them on there and then said they both can't ride at the same time...yeah that lead to a temper tantrum... thanks!



Lara LOVED the pony ride.



Kristin also loved the pony ride but she threw herself into the mud during her tantrum so here is a cuter picture of her "Mommy oov maa" aka Mommy I love the goat. She also called the chickens "bock bock", hilarious!




I have had SO much fun with them this summer! I can't believe they are almost 2! Where has time gone? But everyday I think "Wow this age is awesome. Can I hit pause?"

Game on

Got this surprise this morning!!



Let the games begin! Bow chicka bow bow (insert wink)

And since you haven't seen them in awhile. Here's the girls!




Lara playing at the Botanical Gardens



Kristin having fun



The girls playing together.

Totally having a blast being a SAHM for the summer! Doing fun play dates, meeting up with some good friends, and trying to get them potty train, unsuccessfully I might add! Doing 2 is HARD!

I have lost 25 lbs. Officially 10 lbs more to go to be the weight I was when I got pregnant with the girls. Feeling a ton better about myself.

So now we have to wait to see what happens.....

We "talked"

Dum Dum Dum (my drum roll)

We FINALLY had our talk.. and I am late posting this. But school let out and I am totally rocking being a SAHM for the next 9 weeks.

Anyway, we talked and....

The ring comes out this Saturday and we are officially giving it a whirl! There are some compromises to the whole TTC thing. Which I get and we shall see how it goes.

I am nervous and scared and excited! WOW!

PS- I already ordered HPTs and CBE fertility monitor sticks off e.bay! Ha! Already back to the "old" stuff.

I am too lazy to find the camera and upload pics of my girls... but they are just as cute as ever. Oh and we are on Day 2 of potty training...had some accidents...2 successes. We will keep at this! My will is bigger than theirs! I WILL win this battle!

Stay Tuned...

to see if we TTC #3... still "no talk" so no TTC right now that's for sure. Amazing how the subject can be avoided by doing all sorts of other stuff!


Been trying for 3 days to add pictures and having problems...sorry.
