Bring back the excitement and giddiness

Remember that feeling you got when you first started the ttc process. You felt so excited and giddy. The first Iui we went in for we were on top of the world. We felt as if our tww would last forever and that we would see a BFP soon. I remember that same day we went to B&N bookstore I was already looking at baby and pregnancy books and even wanted to purchase a couple. J was also very optimistic but she did convince me to wait on the purchase. We were just so hopeful at that time. Of course our bubble was burst after the first BFN and the second and third and so on. We so want to start our family soon and be given that ultimate gift. I am looking forward to getting started with IVF soon and hopefully regaining the hope, optimism, and excitement that our first IUI brought us.

Ted Kennedy must be turning over

What an up set in MA. Brown over Coakley. Ted Kennedy must be turning over in his grave. A seat that has had Democratic reign for half a century.....shameful.

Anniversary weekend

This past weekend we celebrated our 6th anniversary. Sat morning we headed up north to Bethelem, Nh. We stayed at one of our favorite places (Highland Inn). We just love this place. They make you feel so at home and welcome there. It was a much needed time of relaxation and fresh air. We did some snow shoeing on the trails on both Sat and Sun, had a nice dinner at a Thai restaurant, watched a movie and just enjoyed one another's companionship. I just love spending time with this woman even after 6 years it just seems to get better each year.
Sunday nite we headed over to our friends Laura and Joy to watch the game (Joy is a jets fan) and to play wii. Can I just say we fell in love with the Wii resort it was such fun. We have gotta get.
On another note, today completes one month of my weight loss plan...23 lbs down. I am so excited. I really feel good and have so much more energy.
