A new day...

Aaron's off to Lubbock to interview at Texas Tech for future engineers :) It's pretty cool because he's getting to take over the Tech recruiting for his office. So, it's just me and Rudy until Thursday. Hopefully our water heater will get fixed today. We had to buy a whole new one! By the time we pay for the labor to put it in, it will probably be the cost of another IUI. The doctor hasn't called yet, but here's what I'm thinking. We really want to go to Nicauragua with our church on a mission trip this summer, which would be about $1000 for both of us to go. I know God has a plan for us, so I'm just going to keep praying. Maybe we'll get pregnant before then, but for now, I think we're going to hold off on doing another procedure...or not!

Okay, the doctor finally called today (Wednesday) and he said if we decide to do it again, we'd attack it more aggresively this time. I'd have to do injections and take more medicine. He did say I had two follicles last time (so I guess that means I could have had twins). We're still doing a lot of praying to figure out what steps to take next.

Not meant to be!

The nurse called about 15 minutes ago, and the test came back negative. I know so many of you have been praying for us to be pregnant, but I guess it's not God's timing right now. It's weird, but I woke up this morning and already seemed to know it wasn't our day. Aaron called me from the gym and somebody had taken his keys. His truck was still there, but his keys were missing. Then around noon I went into the garage and there was water everywhere. The water heater has a leak, so Aaron came home to turn off the water and his dad's going to help him fix it tonight. What a day! Dr. Kaufmann's supposed to call us either tonight or tomorrow morning to talk about what we want to do next. As for me, I'm okay...disappointed, but okay.

UPDATE: We did get a call from the gym last night, and some girl had taken Aaron's keys by mistake. At least we don't have to spend $1000 to get his truck relocked. Mystery solved.

Sunny Saturday

We went to the dog park again today. There were a lot of dogs there! We sat outside for about an hour. Here's a picture of me enjoying the nice weather...

Last night we went to the Circle Theatre in downtown Forth Worth to see a play, which was something different to do. It was a funny love story. It's hard to believe Valentine's Day is this week. Where is the year going? Anyway, I'll be sure to post something on Monday to let y'all know the results from THE test!

TMJ

I went to the dentist today, and sure enough, I have TMJ. I found this on WebMD, which describels my problems exactly: http://blogs.webmd.com/all-ears/2007/07/is-it-tmj.html. My left ear has been hurting since probably December, and I even went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago because I thought I had an ear infection. Well, it turns out the part of my jaw that pops out of place (on the left side) is right next to my ear canal. Crazy! My dentist is making me a night guard, which is like a retainer, to keep me from clenching my teeth. I've noticed I clench while I'm driving too...and guess what can cause all of this? STRESS :) Anyway, I'm going back to Dr. Kaufmann's office on Monday morning, so I've only got a few more days to wait on the blood test. I so want to take my own pregnancy test, but I can wait until 8:30 on Monday. It's hard to be patient though!

Dog Park

Yesterday we took Rudy to the Dog Park. He loves playing with the other dogs, and as you can see from the picture, he's very social. Rudy's on the left with his red Texas Tech colar on.

Later that day we went to the movies to see Juno. It was a quirky comedy. We laughed a lot (ignoring the random bad language). It was the most funny at the beginning when Dwight from The Office made an appearance. Tonight we're going to watch the Super Bowl with Aaron's family. I don't really care who wins though.

Happy Groundhog Day

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow today, so that mean six more weeks of winter. I've always liked Groundhog Day. Maybe it's because I like to watch the movie. It's a tradition my dad and I started to annoy my mom. She's not a fan of the movie repeating itself over and over again :)

At 10:29am, Christa gave birth to a 7lbs. 11oz. and 21" long baby boy named Brayden Garrett Keltner. Congratulations!

Update...here's a couple of pictures from the hospital:

Just Waiting

Waiting is the hardest part, or so they say. I'm doing okay though. I won't be taking my own pregnancy test at home because the HCG shot would give me a false positive no matter what. I'll just have to wait until the 11th to know for sure. I can't believe it's February! Are any of y'all LOST fans? If so, then you probably watched it last night. It was good, but of-course it made you have more questions. Like, who are the Oceanic 6? And I still want to know who Jack went to see at the funeral from last season. With all the shows being repeats lately, we've been watching a lot of reality tv. Aaron likes Dirty Jobs, Dog Whisperer, and we've actually been watching Jon and Kate Plus 8. They have twins and sextuplets. Wow! We also watch The Biggest Loser...the trainers have some really good tips. I haven't been to the gym in a looooong time. I'm definitely going to yoga on Saturday morning. We have no plans this weekend, which is a great feeling :)
