June 7, 2008

So, I had a doctors appointment 3 weeks ago. And now I'm just waiting to start my medication. And then after I start my medication he wants to see me. I guess so that I can get monitored. Nothing new, really.

We're getting ready to move. Mark's brother and our nephew live in Marks grandpas old house. Situations changed and now we're moving in with them. Rent and utilities free so that we can save up money, get our credit better and buy our first house. It'll be nice saving money. And I wont be alone when Mark has to work late. Just trying to figure out how all of our stuff will fit in that house that is already full of stuff is stressing me out. But it'll all be okay. Hopefully we'll be moved in soon, because I hate packing and moving!

Candle sells are going really well. Farmers Market started 3 weeks ago and I've sold 1/4 of my entire inventory! I'm glad its going so well. Hopefully I'll be getting supplies soon so that I can make red, white and blue candles for the 4th of July.

I think thats it for now!!

Update on my dad

Surgery went well. They removed him limphnodes, also, as a precaution. I believe they will be tested for cancer. I was not able to make it to Sacramento the morning of his surgery so I went and spent a few hours up there on Wednesday afternoon. At one point he passed out because he was so dehydrated. And that night was transferred to the cardiac floor just so they could watch his heart. He was supposed to be released on Thursday but I believe was draining more blood from the incision site then they would have liked. He came home Friday morning .
He is doing great! Today is his best day since his surgery. Thank you to everyone who prayed for my family. And please continue to do so!

Updates

Well, lets see, where do I begin!

I finally called my doctor back to reschedule my appointment. He's going to be in surgery when my appontment was supposed to be so it got pushed out 2 weeks. Now its on May 16th. Hopefully I'll be pregnnt again by the time my appointment comes around.

My dads surgery has been moved up 2 days. Instead of it being this Friday, Marks birthday, its on Wednesday. Wow! Reality sure set in this morning. I thought, we all thought, we had the whole week to prepare but now its today and tomorrow. They are going down there on Tuesday for his pre-op and just staying the night. Not sure what time is surgery is now. It's all happening so fast.

I know things will be fine, its all just scary.

My candle season has officially started, and I'm very excited!!! I've been making candles for about 5 days and I cant wait to make more! They are turning out very well so far, and I'm experimenting with color, different scents and sizes.

I have to get 100 candles made by next month because that's when Farmers Market starts. Hopefully this year I do better at Farmers Market because I will actually be selling there all summer instead of the last month.

If you are interested in candles, just let me know! I have lots of scents and colors that I can make candles with for you.

The other night I had a dream. It was a nice dream, but I just cant stop thinking about it.

It was supposed to be the day of my dads pre-op so they wouldnt be home. I was walking down their road, passed my parents house and just kept walking. I guess they were home and my dad saw me through the window, he came out and called my name. So I walked back to their house. When I go there, there was a toy airplane sitting in their front yard. In the airplane were two little boys. One was about 1 1/2 (which would have been the age of the child we would have if we got pregnant when we first started trying) and then another little boy who was about 6 months old (which I can only imagine was the baby that we just lost, which doesnt really make sense because I should still be pregnant with that baby). Anyway, the entire time I was playing with them in the dream I couldnt see their faces.

And then I woke up.

How Many...

Boys does it take to get a tree stump out of the ground.

Actually, it takes 2 boys, 2 crowbars, a chainsaw, an axe and a truck!

Mark pulling with the truck while Brad was standing on the crowbar that was lifting the stump.

The divit Mark's tires made in the driveway when he was trying to pull out the stump.

2 Years, This Month

.....We’ve been trying for a baby for 2 years, this month. DEPRESSING! I know 2 years doesn’t seem like a long time to some people, but to me it feel like FOREVER. A "normal" person gets pregnant within a year of trying. Of course, I’m not normal. And it took the doctors a year a a half to figure out that were was really something wrong. And I’m going to yet another doctor. This is the 4th doctor I’ve been to in the last 2 years.
