Busy Busy Bee

Well the last month has been crazy busy! I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving and time for our trip to Iowa! Time has been flying, but I think a lot has been accomplished. If not, at least the hubs and I have been having some fun. :)

Since the double biopsy I have been feeling better. I still haven't been able to sleep on my stomach without my boob hurting, but I think it's at least partly psychological. I am expecting it to hurt I think. Anyway, for now I am waiting until my first follow-up ultrasound before I decide to have the fibroadenomas removed or not. I don't want to deal with the hassle of surgery right now, especially when the doctors are recommending against it. So for now it's wait and see.

The hubs career is nearing take-off. He has an interview coming up for a job in a desired school for the rest of this year that could potentially turn into a full-time job for next year at one of the schools in the district. To prepare for his interview he bought his first suit this week. It is so handsome and he looks like such a grown up. It's funny how putting on a nice new fancy suit can make you change your attitude and appearance. I would definitely take notice of him (and hire him)! Good Luck Baby!

The house hunt has partially begun over the last few weeks. We aren't planning to buy until next spring but we have heard it can take a long time to find the right place and we want to narrow down our search before we really dig in. There are two towns we are considering and both have a lot of new construction, so we have been touring model homes lately. It is a lot of fun and it would be amazing to see your house built from the ground up. On the other hand I don't know if I want to live in a still-developing community where you don't know if, or when, the other houses will be built. So, we are looking at plenty of older homes too. Our realtor is scheduling our first outing and I am so excited. It's funny how before we starting looking at houses we had all these criteria of must-haves and deal-breakers and after actually walking through houses the criteria changed. Now it's not "I cannot live in a house without a window in the kitchen." It has evolved to "I cannot live in a house with a kitchen that doesn't have adequate cabinet/cupboard space; windows be damned." Needless to say we are loving being first-time home searchers! :)

Also this past week, the hubs and I went to a fertility/infertility seminar. After being prescribed provera for the third time I figured I had better start actively trying to figure out what is up with my body, so I talked to my ob/gyn. He referred me to a speciality clinic and the first step with them was to attend a two-hour seminar. Most of the couples at the seminar were young, like us, and many of the ladies seemed to be having the same problems as me. The seminar was helpful and made me feel hopeful that the clinic staff would be able to provide answers and help. Overall it was a good step. Now I have to have some tests done and the hubs is getting a semen analysis, which I guess is all standard procedure. We won't have an official consult until the results from our tests our in, probably mid December. I don't think either of us is too worried about anything right now but the process is becoming more stressful as time passes so I am really glad we've requested the specialty clinic's help.

Well I really ought to update my blog more often! My life has sure been busy but I still made time for my sweets! Mmm... the apple pie I made yesterday came out beautiful and was pretty good to boot. I also found out about some cake classes a local bakery does and am so excited to take them. I would love to spend more time baking so I hope my future house has a sweet kitchen!!
