The Wait and News.

Well, originally I wasn’t really posting details about our current IUI cycle on the blog…and then I realized that pretty much everyone who reads the blog already has all the information, so why wouldn’t I just write about what’s on my mind?! We had our IUI last Friday, the 13th. Right, I see the irony. I’ve decided its good luck. Go with me on that one, would you?

And now we wait.

Now, as you know, I don’t much care for waiting. But since Mother Nature insists upon it, I don’t have much of a choice in the matter.

So we wait.

On Friday, I’ll go in for a blood test at Shady Grove and they’ll tell me that I’m pregnant.

DID YOU SEE THAT OPTIMISM? I’m patting myself on the back for that.

In other news…we’re moving to Georgia this summer!

Andrew will be going to MCCC, an Army course for Infantry Officers that has a bunch of Marines attend it as well. He’s been told that we’ll need to be there in August. It’s going to be a new adventure for us, for sure. We’ll live in base housing for the first time, we’ll live on an Army base, and I won’t be teaching. Oh yeah, and we’ll be moving just in time for me to have a baby in a state we’ve just arrived in. Notice that I used the word “adventure” which doesn’t bring to mind a stressed out, worried Ashley….I’m trying here.

I’ve become a serious Pinterest addict recently. I blame Melissa and Shannon. That being said, I got these two GREAT ideas from there.

First: Chocolate Pudding that is SERIOUSLY GOOD AND GOOD FOR YOU. Yes, I know I’m yelling. I needed you to hear me, loud and clear.

The original (and the recipe) can be found here.

Here’s mine!pudding

Second: The “I love you because” board. Andrew and I are loving leaving each other notes to wake up to and come home to. It’s really nice, since we have a lot of days that we don’t get to see each other very much at all.

The original is here.

Here’s mine! Please note, those roses are seriously easy to make. WHO KNEW?!

Happy Saturday :-)
