Kim,
No its not weird that you have your own birth plan ready. I have had baby magazines and been reading them for three years now and so I always just thought about things like that. I have been doing Yoga 4 Fertility and prenatal yoga for about a year. I was on amazon and found some cheap dvds there. So I'm as weird as you.
Your names are great. I know it would be hard to name kid after dh if its family tradition and you don't like the name. My friends dhs name is Darwin and the named their kid Darwin Denver. But they call him Denver. She had a hard time because she doesn't really like Darwin so she picked a middle name and calls him by that. But I like Merton. Your girl name is pretty and I like it. I like the "sea" way better but they both sound great. A a teacher of young teens there are a lot of Karissa, Larissa, Marissa, Tenessa, anything with 'issa.' I'm sick of that type of name. I have always liked old fashioned names like Lucy, Olivia, or Ruthie.
I also want two boys and two girls. But I'm just taking my time and hoping for at least one right now. Its so hard to wait and I really want to catch this cycle. Dh wants it too and we might go for it if we get vials in time. I won't stress about it becasue I know that I will be able to do next cycle no matter what and am so happy.
Sorry its long and hope everything is going great. You have such great faith I know it will happen.
Take Care,
Sarah

Hey Sarah,
I am glad that we are both just weird  I have always been into the whole birthing thing and the longer I wait the more time I think about it and plan it. I have had the pleasure of being at 2 births, it was such a wonderful experience, I loved it and I just can't wait until I get to have the baby. After I saw my 2nd birth I really want to become a Doula I really think that, that is right up my alley.
Well I am glad you like the names I really don't mind Merton. When we 1st started dating he told me that if we ever got married and we had a boy we would name it Merton. I didn't like it at first, but now I really do and I like Christopher for the middle I think it works. I really like 'Sea"nna too. One of the reasons I liked "Sean''na was when I worked at my old daycare there was a baby that I fell in love w/ and that was her name, either way it will be named after her because the spelling is the same it is just said different. So you like Kaidias? It's different, but is it to different? I also like old names too, I like Victoria, Elizabeth and I love the name Olivia, I like Olivia Jade  I think we have good taste
I know what you mean lets get #1 down and then go on from there. I hope what ever happens all will go well w/ the vials and you will get preg soon. My dh wants kids so bad too. Tonight my friend came over and she has a 2mth old (he is so cute!!!! ) I had him and I needed to go get the dessert ready so I gave him to my dh it was so cute to see him hold him, talk and play w/ him. It made me kind of sad, but yet happy cause I love seeing my dh w/ kids he is so great w/ him. I know one day it will happen and for now we will just keep practicing until we get it right 
Well I am gonna go to bed, I going to the gym tomorrow and getting my butt kicked, not really but it is a tough class. I'll talk to you later.
Take Care,
Kim

Kim,
Sorry about the delay. Yes I love the name Kaidais. Its very original but not way out there. I think its cute that you came up with it.
Its been a long weekend and I had a eight hour class on Saturday. It was rough because that was the day it was nice. Sunday was cloudy and rainy here. We're supposed to get snow in the next couple days so it probably will be awful weather.
Dh and I decided that we will try this week for the iui and if it works it works and if it doesn't we'll just try again. We want a baby so bad that I don't care if I have it during finals. I just want one.
I hope your weekend was good and you did something fun. I know that faith and hope has helped me alot during this passed years. I'm always praying for you and everyone that wants a bfp!
Take Care,
Sarah

Sarah,
I'm glad that you really like Kaidias, I just wanted to get an oppinion other than family, you know? So my dh said the more he thinks about it he really doesn't like Merton Christopher. He said that he wasn't a big fan of Christopher. I was like great, so now what? So we agreed on Merton Andrew, I'll tell you in a min. how we came up w/ that. I totally forgot that I like another boys name, better than Jonathan Ryan its Adian Christian I love the name Adian.
That stinks when you have a really nice day and you have to be stuck inside. I hope that you will soon get some better weather that you can enjoy. It was cold and rainy today, but tomorrow is suppose to be real nice like around the 60-65's I get to babysit so I can take the kids outside  They need to go out they have alot of energy.
Good luck w/ the iui I hope that this will be it for you. I will keep you in my prayers. Keep the right attitude and stay positive, whatever happens. I know how you feel at this point you just want one who cares when it comes. I don't want to be REALLY preg during winter I don't want to wear boots, scrape my car ect... I don't mind being a lil preg during then. I want to be able to wear cute dresses, tank tops, flip flops ect... you know? When it all comes down to it I really don't care.
I had a GREAT weekend, even though I was sick. My dh and I had some "quality time" and we went down to Boston. Boston every spring has a annual spring flower show. Dh thought it might be boring, but we went ahead and checked it out. It was sooo beautiful we were so glad we went. It was inside an expo center we couldn't beileve how they set it all up. There was water falls, rock walls, full scale landscaping,lots of flowers and plants,center pieces for tables like weddings you name it they had it. My dh was on cloud 9 and the best part about it, it was a tax deduction We went to a nice Italian dinner and headed it home, it was a very nice day. Dh and I don't get time together and even more when landscaping starts, so it was very nice. Oh yeah thats how we got the middle name Andrew. We were on the "T" (subway) the announcer said "next stop Andrew' I thought in my head hey Andrew, so I said it to Steve and he said he liked it and thats how we settled on the middle name. We think that, that would be a funny story to tell our son (if we have one)"Hey son you got your middle name from a "T" stop. Anyways I thought that I would share that w/ you.
I am so sorry that I went on so long, like I said before I have the gift for gab. I will keep you in my prayers and hope that you get that bfp. Talk to you later.
Take Care,
Kim

Kim,
It sounds so pretty there. You already have flowers. We are still brown grass and dead trees. Its been rainy and snowy the past couple of days so I don't think we'll have spring for awhile.
I know what you mean about wearing cute clothes when your pregnant. I hate being overheated so I think I would like being huge during winter time. But it doesn't really matter as long as I get the bfp.
Sorry so short, I have to leave early for test today and need to study. Thanks for everything and I'm glad that you have so much faith. I have a quick question. It sounds like you're really relegious, do you go to a certain church? Just wondering. I'm always interested in what people do.
Take care,
Sarah

Sarah,
Oh no we don't we don't have flowers yet. The flower show was in Boston and the expo was inside thats why we couldn't believe how they got all that in there and how well established the flowers and plants were. My dh only wishes it was like that.
Yeah, I go to an independant baptist church. It's not about being religious, but it's about following the standards the Bible has set for us. I am however saved by grace, and it's because I'm saved that I am able to live by these standards. If what I am saying doesn't make sense and if you want to know what I am talking about I can tell you more.
Today a new girl started at the gym and she has a beautiful baby girl. I was looking at her (the baby) and started to get sad and I was thinking how lucky mom was to have a baby, I was kinda jealous I guess you can say. Anyways when mom got back in the room we started to talk and she asked the dreaded question "do you have kids?" I of course said "no been trying for 3yrs" She said "she took 9yrs" we instantly connected. She went on to tell me that this was her 2nd pregnancy and at 6mths preg she went into labor and gave birth to a still born it was a boy. I felt bad for the thoughts I had earlier, but I think God put her in my path to show me that everything will be alright and now I have someone to talk to face to face. I really never knew someone personally just only the women on here so it's nice you know? On top of that the other baby that I was having the same thoughts as the other baby her mom came to get her. She and the other lady were talking and come to find out that mom had a hard time concieving. She had a blocked tube and went through alot. Anways when she told us that my co-worker said see Kim what are the chances? We all insatntly had a lil bonding time It was nice because I was having a lil rough time. There was those 2 cute baby girls, alot of kids today and one of my co-workers said we have alot of baby boomers here, everyone is drinking the water. I was thinking I am drinking the water, but nothing is happening  all that put together just made it hard for me today. God has such a nice way to come down and comfort me and show me that everything is gonna be fine by just putting those 2 women in my path when I was felling down.
Anyways I wanted to make this short, I guess I didn't (lol) SORRY. I hope you had a good day and all is going well w/ you and you are staying positive. I guess I will talk to you later.
Take Care Hun,
Kim

Kim,
I think your religious if your living the gospel set by the bible. I'm mormon and we also live those standards. Its hard being mormon here because everyone is and as you know mormons have a lot of kids. So you see kids and babies everywhere.
Thats so great that you met some people that know how you feel. When I found out that we would have problems it seemed that I met someone everyday that had problems too. Some of them are my best friends now and really help me. It just seems that they have already have kids or are pregnant. I'm happy for them but can't wait until i can join the club. I still feel like the outsider that can't get in. I know that it will happen sometime and just have to be patient.
I have been checking three times everyday and the line is getting darker. I think I'll surge tomorrow morning and Sunday will be the day. I'm ready for it and can't wait.
Anyway, dh and I are going to his house this weekend to fence and help around. I got to clean before we go so have a great weekend and I'll let you know how the iui goes.
Take care
Sarah

Sarah,
I really don't know much about the mormons all I know is they have alot of kids. Why do the mormons believe in having so many kids? I now know why you have such a hard time, considering you are surrounded by families w/ bunch of kids. It really must get hard.
I can't wait to go to work on Wed so can talk to her, my other co-works probably can do w/o us talking so much,
oh well. I know I can't wait to join the club also  Af is late, but I never know when she'll arrive I started to spot today so more than likely it'll be starting. Wouldn't it be just nice if I was spotting because it was implantation, but I really highly doubt it. I'll let you know.
So did you surge? how did the iui go? I hope that you had a great weekend and everthing is going well. Keep me updated. I guess I will talk to you later.
Take Care,
Kim

Kim,
We have lots of kids usually because we marry young and start right away. Marriage and family are really important but its still up to the couple when you want to have kids.
I surged on sat morning and had iui on sunday morning. It was nice because no one was in the office and I didn't have to wait. Dh couldn't get over how quick he did it. I said it didn't feel fast because it hurt. Not too bad, just like a bad pap. Then I laid there for half hour and we got to go. The doc said our vial was one of the best he has ever seen and everything looked great. He is really upbeat and told us that he hopes the next time he'll see us is for our first ultrasound. I was happy he wasn't one of the docs that have to tell you that it might not work.
So glad you met some nice friends that you can talk too. Have a great day and hope af doesn't show!
Take care
Sarah

Sarah,
I am keeping my fingers crossed and praying that this is it for you. I am glad that your Dr. is positive and that you are happy with him. I hope that the next 2 wks will go by fast.
So the mormons just have lots of kids just because? For some reason I always thought that it was something to do with there beliefs. Is it true that when you get married the mother can't go into the church/temple? I saw something on the tv and the mothers were not allowed in only the father. I think they were mormons.
I lightly spotted all day today, I am probably gonna start soon, but who knows I have a weird cycle and I never know what will happen next. I will let you know, but I wouldn't hold your breath I really don't think I am
I am gonna go to bed I'll keep you in my prayers. I'll talk to you later.
Take Care,
Kim

Kim,
Sorry I haven't written in a couple of days. My sister made a surprise visit from MT. Spring break starts tomorrow for me and we're going to CO for a five days. It was so fun to see her because its been a few months and her baby is so big now.
Mormons have kids because we beleive that family is central in god's plan. That true happiness is found through family and following the commandments. When we are married its in the temple and we both have to be there:) I always hear weird things about our religion but thats ok. Since I'm just surronded by mormons we sometimes hear weird things about other religions.
I had cramping for two days after iui but not like af cramps. They just felt weird. I don't know if its a good sign or not. I'm glad I'm leaving because it will make tww go by faster. I hope everything is going well and if you have af your cramping is not too bad. My afs are like that, so crampy and bloody.
Sorry this is so long, but I might not be near a computer for a few days. My parents are ranchers and their about forty miles from town. So you might not hear from me till tuesday.
Take care and thanks for the prayers,
Sarah

Hey Sarah,
Sorry I haven't written back until now I have been real busy and I knew that you might not be able to write until tomorrow. I only have a quick min to write I have alot to do.
That is so nice that your sister came and gave you a surprised visit. I hope you had a nice visit.
I hope that all is well w/ you and that you will get that bfp. I really haven't gotten my af it has been kind of weird actually. For a couple of days I lightly spotted then there was nothing then I spotted then nothing then I had like a spot of blood in my underware then nothing then light spotting and now this a.m. nothing. I really don't know what to think I went online and looked it up and I found signs of early pregnancy which I found implantation. I read that light spotting and you can get like a spot of blood in your panties. I really don't know what to think I don't feel preg and I don't feel like I am gonna have my period. I am way to scared to take a hpt cause I don't want to be dissapointed I just rather expect to get my period and get let down that way then to see a neg hpt. What do you think?
Anyways I gotta run talk to you later.
Take Care,
Kim

Kim,
I know how that feels. Right now I feel just normal with no signs. I'm just going to wait until af shows or doesn't then I'll take hpt. I think I would just wait because I know how the neg test feels.
The only different thing that has happened to me is last night I had shooting pains in uterus and it felt hard. But I feel great, boobs feel normal and I'm not showing any other signs. No more pains down there. I don't know if thats my body rejecting it or I'm crazy and making myself feel it.
I really hope you get a bfp too. Is your af usually late or is this different? Maybe its good your not getting any af signs. It will be hard if it comes with no warning. I hate that. I know it will happen for us someday but its hard thinking each month will be the miracle. Keep praying and I'm hoping you don't get af.
Take care and be strong,
Sarah

Sarah,
I hope that this is it for you, wouldn't it be nice if it would only take the first time? Try to stay posistive no mater the outcome:)
I really don't know what to say about af. I really never bled yet I only had like 1 spot of blood and the rest was like that brownish/blackish spotting like you get at the end of the cycle. I really don't even know how I would count my days. This is what is and you tell me how you might count the days.
4/2-4/4-- brown spotting very light
(4/4 p.m. nothing)
4/5--nothing a.m. & noon
in p.m. dark brown spotting - very light
4/6--light spotting in a.m. noon I had the spot
of blood and in the p.m. spotting
4/7--a.m. spotting--all day nothing
4/8--nothing early nothing a.m.
noon light blood (very lil)
p.m. spotting (brown)
4/9--a.m nothing
noon L spotting (brown/black)
4/10--L spotting (brown/blackish)
4/11-- I'll tell you later cause it's
to early in the day to tell
So there it is, what do you think? It's weird huh? See why I am so confussed? I hate this!!!
Hey I have to go I have to leave for work @ 8:30 & it's 8:10 I haven't eaten yet & i'm not dressed (yikes) I'll write back later to night. Sorry

Kim,
It looks like you can finally email. I don't know what they were doing, but it seemed like forever. Just to catch you up, I'm not pregnant. Af came four days late. I took a test and it said positive. I was so excited. Then four days later my af showed up. I guess its called a chemical pregnancy. We are skipping this month and going for the end of may. Dh and I are going to do clomid next time and see how that works.
How are you? Did af finally show up? Its been so hard to tell for you. Hope everything is working out and you're doing well.
Take care
Sarah
