getting that aching feeling

well our wonderful neighbors, the best ones we have had in the air force, welcomed home their baby girl whitley claire a week ago. lucian have gone over the last few days to keep whitley's mama, caroline, some company while her daddy, chris, ran some errands. this evening i held whitley for about 10 or 15 minutes while she was sleeping and it was so wonderfully peaceful. i felt like a pro, lol, and just wished she was mine. after a while my wonderful, well behaved, little guy got jealous so i gave her back to her mama. before lucian got jealous he was so sweet and gave whitley two kisses! it was so sweet! a few minutes after whitley was back in her mama's arms she woke up and was ready to eat. i watched caroline breastfeed whitley and it was so beautiful and took me back to feeding lucian. since then i have just wanted to be holding another baby of jayson's and mine and feeding him/her. i was guiding caroline a bit through feeding whitley and explained to her that whitley is learning how to breastfeed as well and caroline admitted she hadn't thought of it that way. i am starting to ache for another baby and hoping that at the end of my progesterone therapy i will be pregnant. those who pray, please pray and those who send good energy and thoughts please do so.

as far as the therapy goes i am 2 days in and am having some weird moderate cramping today. i am really not sure what organ is cramping everyting is all squished together in there.

balance

alrighty so i have decided, as previously posted, that i am NOT going to take birth control to balance my hormones. i am taking some supplemnts, vitex, b6, b12, folic acid, evening primrose oil, cinnamon, and natural progesterone cream. i have been taking all of them except the npc for two weeks now. the npc is a specific plan. here are a few websites to check out about using npc to help balance your hormones, www.happypms.com, www.johnleemd.com, and here is one for free shipping if you decide to buy the npc, http://store.hmglobalmall.com/hapmsfrsh.html. the npc can be used by pretty much any woman.

according to the happypms website this is the projected plan of use:
Use 1/4 tsp. twice a day, days 8 thru 26 for two months. On the third month, use 1/4 tsp. twice day, the day following ovulation through day 26.

i am changing mine a bit because i don't think my pcos is so severe and also since i am using the other supplements and the major reason, my acne explodes when i use the cream. my plan is as follows:
use 1/4 2x daily cd 8-26 for the first month and then 1/4 1x daily cd 8-26 the second month, and the third month 1/4 1x daily after comfirmed ovulation through cd 26.

i am hoping these supplements will help me to ovulate and to have a 27-29 day cycle. i am also taking my temp every morning, that is how i will have a confirmed ovulation. after the third month i will stop the cream and give my body a chance to have a regular cycle on its own without the cream.

all that being said today is day one of the first month of the cream. no change so far but i didn't expect there to be. i have used the cream twice in the past to start my cycle and the only thing i ever noticed was bad acne and improved moods. i plan to update weekly.

lucian is 2!

thats right our baby boy is 2! he had a great little party with a few of his little friends over. he had a cupcake cake and some pizza. he got some really good presents too. his grammy (jayson's mom) and great-grandma got him a kid tough camera and some clothes. his gramer (my mom) got him an easle with a dry erase board and magnetic letters and numbers. his great-grandma and great-grandpa got him some puzzle books and some clothes and sent some money and with that money he got two shirts, two pair of jeans, a pair of shoes, and a red baseball cap. jayson and i got him a power wheels f-150. the little guy made out great for his bday!

as far as adding to the family, well we have decided to wait until i have my degree. that will be another 3-5 yrs. we just want to make sure we have the money and stability the next time around. however because of my condition, pcos, that causes my hormones to be inbalanced i am not going to be taking any birth control. with my pcos i don't have regular cycles and most of the time i don't ovulate. so there is no need take birth control. what i need to do is use herbs and a cream to in a sense turn off my ovaries so that they can heal themselves and hopefully work properly. i don't know how long it will take to balance my hormones.

i do want to share a baby dream i had last night. it was about a baby girl and of course she was our baby girl. she was so beautiful. she looked like me when i was a baby and had some of lucian's features as well. she had jayson's nose, which lucian has, and she had those big chubby cheeks like lucian. she also had a full head of lack spikey fuzzy hair. i know i had black hair when i was a baby. she was goregous and she was mine. i hope it was a dream about the future!!!
