Yea! A New Doctor

As many of you know, I have never been very comfortable with Dans Dr. that has been treating him for his CTC lymphoma. I have just a a gut feeling that she has not been proactive enough. I kept telling Dan after apt. that I just wanted him to go get another outlook! Unfortunately, Dan has come out of "remission" wtih a very active form right now which has prompted me to get on the ball and get someone new! I am so excited that a Dr. at Siteman Cancer Center has agreed to take Dans "case." We shoudl get to schedule our apt. in a few days, and see her within a week or so! YEA! Eveyone keep your fingers crossed and prayers coming that this is the help we have needed!

Please Get Together!

Today Dan and I went a new route with trying to get pregnant. Most of you know we have been trying for about 15 months. Yes, Cole was a one try baby, so we have been shocked at how long it has taken. We have "tried" so to speak our hardest but have been unsuccessful. Well, today we did our first IUI. It stands for something like inter-uterine insimination, or something like that. Basically, we took the "little phelps" as Barney said on How I Met Your Mother, and put them right into the cervix, so they just have to like bump into the egg! I had a few ultrasounds this week to check the size of the follicle, then a shot to ovulate then the "procedure" today. I feel great! Little crampy still but nothing like this morning! SO, keep your fingers crossed and say your prayers. We should find out the night before Thanksgiving if we have another baby to be thankful for! Thanks for all your good wishes so far! I have wonderful friends and family!

NKOTB

So sad it has come and gone! After 15 years I got to see the NKOTB! I have to say, Monica and I were spoiled last time in Dallas at age 13 getting to get on Joeys bus, and chase the limo as they left, but at age 31...it was still a great time...although Monica wasnt there!
I mean, talk about going back in time! They were so good and there is just something about how freakin good they can dance! They sang all the old stuff and the new also! IT was 2 hours of great old fun! They could still belt out Cover Girl and Please DOnt Go Girl, just like they used too! There were 6 of us with seats together and about 12 more all separated. We got upgraded to awesome seats with a great view! What a great time!

Into trouble

I had forgotten to post this on Sunday. I was exhausted from the weekend and Dan had jsut gotten off of his 24 hour shift, and it was nap time for all....except one! I had laid on the couch, Cole on his pallet and Dan in the bed. I only slept about 20 minutes and I got up to check on Cole. I could hear him singing. I walked in the bathroom to find COle sitting in the sink making a big soapy bubble mess! Thank god I found him before he sudsed up the entire bathroom!

Welcome Back New Kids

Yes, We are dorks and are excited about New kids concert here Monday night! So to celebrate, Kristy had a new kids pre party! A group of girls got together and had dinner and cookie cake...hence the picture...and watched old new kids VHS tapes and got refreshed for the show! Now, as I am very excited...I must say, Its no Poison! Monday is Heathers Birthday and thats what she wanted to do, so Monday night...Its new kids or bust! A crowd of 30 year old moms! ha!
