30 before 30 update

I have started my birthday and address list!

I have sent out all January birthday cards!

I have started my list of 101 things I love about Mr. Pants.

I sent out my random card to a friend for the month of January.

We watched "The Blind Side" (amazing) - so 1/10 movies I have never seen.

HSG today

My HSG was this morning, Mr. Pants took the day off and went with me.  The procedure was not too painful.  I did start feeling sick right away. The Doctor told me that she would get better results from the pictures they took up above but that from what she saw on the moniter the dye went through the tubes easily and my tubes seem to be open.  She will study my pictures and sent her thoughts and final report to my OB. 

I have been feeling pretty sick and crampy since we left. I came home and took a nap and I am just now not feeling as sick.  All in all though, not as horrible as I feared. But I do love not going to work today!
The doctor did say that she has had lots of women got pregnant right after the HSG, probably because it clears everything out and to make sure we try hard this cycle. lol, no pressure. 

I have great friends!

I came home last night to a package from Lopes.  There was the sweetest card and and fun Valentines cupcake making items.  She also gave me a fertility bracelet.  There was so much thought and effort put into it, I *might* have teared up when I opened it .  There is a butterfly b/c I have a butterfly thing, and I hope you can see it in the picture, there is also a HOPE charm on it.  I have needed some hope lately, so now I have some!  E picked out the color, and I LOVE it!  I am a lucky girl to have such great e-friends.  Thank you so much Lopey and E!  <3 <3 <3

update

I just started cycle number 12.  I had cd3 bloodwork done today.  I have an HSG on monday and Mr. Pants has an SA hopefully on monday also.  Time to start looking into what is going on.

I must be a grownup now

My grandmother was something of an artist.  Growing up I loved visiting her because she had a kiln in her kitchen and was always making awesome stuff.  Her big thing was flowers.  She made so many cool things.  She gave me a beautiful bathroom set once a mirror, and a jewelry box that sat on a plate type thing.  I thought I was so lucky.  My grandmother died while I was living in LA and I am so grateful that I was something so special for her.  A few of the things I have that she made:
                                   These are ceramic hot pads
                                      

The bathroom set

Another Jewelry box

When I was in high school my grandmother made me a full set of china.  I was never allowed to touch this china.  I left for college, no touching the china.  I moved to LA when I was 21, no taking the china.  I moved back to Texas and got married.  Now, finally I am allowed to touch the china!  Last weekend I went to my moms house packed up all my china and brought it home with me.

I adore them.  She used 24 carat gold leaf.  They are simple and classsy, everything I *want* to be.

1 day in - and 1 crossed off!

Happy New Year to everyone!!  I have already finished 1 thing on my list!  Granted, I am sure it was one of the easiest goals on my list, BUT STILL!!

*Spend a whole day in my PJ's*   - done!

Lazy days are great.
