We've been inked.....

Yep we finally made our appointments and let Steve at us with needles lol. It's been many many years in coming for me to get this first tattoo... and Jay well he had some but wanted a few homemade ones from his teen years covered up. We headed down to Steve's shop tonight and WOW I am soooooo impressed. It hurt yeah but not nearly as bad as I expected it to and I am already so thrilled with the results. I can't wait to see how they look all healed.

As I said in a previous post Steve had found me a perfect cherub to honor my babies :)We left it as is tonight with the possiblity after its healed to go back in and add a bit more white to the wings. I will leave that to him to decide as I trust him totally :) Jay got a awesome image of his favorite animal... the wolf.

So here are the pics... remember these are just a few hours old and are all red and irratated still. I will repost pics once they are all healed up :)

Mine














Jay's

We are both already planning our next tattoos LOL... wonder how long it will be before we catch up to Steve :P

Ever wonder how grocery carts get in weird places????

Ugh I hate this weather but hey at least we are the poor suckers getting the SNOW already ICK!!!!!!! But weather whining wasn't my real reason for the post. Nope thought I would come and give you a little chuckle or possibly a moment of sympathy for us lmao.

So there are days like today when it truly SUCKS to not have a car... but Jay and I headed off to pick up my pay cheque get it cashed and get on with running errands. We finished our day off at Safeway. Run through, load up on groceries and stop dead in our tracks when we see the CROWD of people waiting for taxies... some claiming to be there upwards of an hour already. Oh well we say and make our call

Well 15 minutes later and the person waiting an hour still has not recieved her taxi and we are like well its not that far. I mean we seriously walk this route all the time... just not with this many groceries. The rain has let up though it is still cold but nothing we can't handle and we decide screw it, grabbed our grocery cart and start trucking home.

Yes we became some of those people...we ran away with a grocery cart. We walked 20 minutes home with a cart load of food and had people that we passed on the way laughing at us... oh well lol. The rain was nice enough to hold off til we were 5 minutes from home... just encouraged us to walk that little bit faster

Never thought I would do it but guess there is a first time for everything lol.

Time for a quick update....

Boy time sure does fly ! Nothing too much exciting going on around here. We just came through the long weekend EXHUSTED but happy.

I spent the weekend with Lynne, Carmen, Hannah, Sara and Jayda... what a blast. It was great spending time with all the babies. I had a few sad moments when I would think about my little angels and wishing there were still here with us... but then one of thew girls would grin at me or need something and I would jump back to the here and now. Jay stayed busy with the guys working on eves and fencing and totally enjoyed himself.

This weekend was a different experience for us. In all the time we have been together the most time we have spent apart was a few hours. With me working and the boths of us being busy with different parts of the family when I wasn't working we maybe had a total of an hour together from Friday evening when I went to work til all the work was done Monday evening. It certainly isn't something we are used to doing but we got through it lol and it made coming home Monday evening that much more enjoyable lol ;)

Today we went to see Dr.G for followup after losing Trouble. UGH sitting in that waiting room was torture... thankfully it was only for a few minutes. He was super nice and very sympathetic. At this point he thinks it was jsut another fluke of nature :( Not what I wanted to hear but then I didn't want to hear something was wrong either... though in someways that would make it easier than thinking it was somehow my fault :(

We did discuss various tests and he can't do anything thing until we lose a third confirmed pregnancy... god forbid it happens again. He did say that he will run every test imaginable right down to a biopsy of my uterus if we do lose another baby... good to know but I am praying for all I am worth that we won't have to ever run those tests. He did give us some positive information. He said that the Dr who id my d&c took a good look at my "stuctures" lol and everything looks really good... I guess sometime the shape of the uterus can casue miscarriages.

He also said that the pathology report for Trouble came back good. He reviewed the one for Peanut again while we were there too. He said that for some of the antibody tests I asked about it would have been apparent as the cause of both miscarriages... so that was a relief. We discussed trying again and he wants us to go ahead after one cycle( typical for post miscarriage) We have a plan in place if things don't start on thier own but he's pretty confident that they will.

He also started me on the metformin again... my miracle drug it would seem :) We talked a bit about using progestrone supplementation becasue of the PCOS and he explained a lot of the research to us and how its mostly used if there is a luteal phase defect... not likely I have that so until it becomes evident he won't supplement. We did talk about staying on the Met as well when I become PG again... he disagrees but did talk a little bit more about the research and some data gathering a Dr here in the city is working on. Jay and I will be doing more research and we will talk in more depth with Dr.G when I become PG again. Ultimately he might not like it but the final decison will be for me and Jay to make.

So there we have it. Not a ton of news but then it wasn't all bad either. Its just gonna be a long few weeks before we can try again. In someways I am ready to try this very minute and in another the break even if for a few weeks will do us good and allow a bit more time for our heart's to heal. And on the plus side if I am not PG I can still get my tattoo lol. I finally have a plan in place with Steve... now we just have to make an appointment. I can't wait! He found the most perfect cheub for me :) :) When its all said and done I'll be sure to post a pic.

Well off to do a bit of scrap booking and relax before work :P Its gonna be a LONG day tomorrow... I work OT and then we have a company BBQ to go to and we are on the clean up crew... me and my big mouth lol so I best relax while. I can TaTa for now :)
