Monster Trucks

We went to Monster Jam this past weekend. It was surprisingly (for me) a lot of fun. We went because Kaine is obsessed with monster trucks. His birthday party, May 19th, is going to be monster truck themed too. That is how much he likes them!

I am getting really excited about his party. We are going to have it at our new place, which many people haven't seen. At first, however, I was underwhelmed (at best) about the monster truck theme! I really, really wanted to do a colorful birthday party (I usually say "rainbow" but, it really is more about colors, there were not going to be any rainbows about). But, I couldn't sell it, lol. I would ask, "Want to do a colorful, rainbow party? How about Pirates? Camp-out?" Pretty much anything but monster trucks! I was completely uninspired.

I am coming around. I have even found a really fun water "feature" for his party. I got it off of pinterest, of course! It is called "kid car wash" and I can not wait for Matt to build it! (Caught that did you, I DID say Matt, lol!) I think it will be amazing. According to the instructions, it isn't that expensive to make either, which is always nice. Plus, I figure, we can use it for the rest of the summer and probably for other summers too. That should be awesome! Here is a picture:

I want a baby...

...and I think I need to talk about it! People are having babies left and right, or so it seems to me. I think that is wonderful! But, there is a big part of me that wishes it was me. Hopefully it will be. I don't think I should say "soon", however.
Honestly, I know why I am starting to feel this way again. Kaine is going to be 4 in less than 4 weeks. It is making me sad! I thought for sure that we would have another by now. It makes me sad to think that he is growing up without siblings. It makes me sad to think that he may never have a sibling. Sigh.
God is working. I believe the message that is being said is: "Wait." I am not sure what I am waiting on. However, I am trying to learn all I can during this waiting period.
During this time, I am trying to get my hormones in balance. I have just started a new regime. It is hormone support that acts like a natural cycle. Which, in my opinion, is a good thing. I think trying to get a cycle as close to "normal" as possible, is a good thing. So, I am taking a product called HB Formula* (hormone balance formula), during the first two weeks (to help get rid of extra estrogen). Then, for the next two weeks I am going to take T&C Formula (or toning and cleansing) to help get rid of extra, built-up tissue and congestion in my reproductive organs (of course, you should not use this if you are TTC or prego). I am also going to be using progesterone during the T&C course. The progesterone is to help support your natural production of progesterone, which is highest during the second part of your cycle (this is also the time that you would be "implanting" if you were TTC- you need progesterone to help support a viable pregnancy). Then the cycle starts all over again. I am going to do this for, at least, three months. Then, if things seem to be normalizing, the fourth month we are going to TTC without using the T&C Formula. However, we will continue to use the progesterone until the seventh month of pregnancy, when we will start to wean off for natural labor to happen on it's own. Anyway, that is a long way off. I just hope all of this stuff works and we end up pregnant when all is said and done. Please, if you are a believer, pray earnestly for us!! Add us to all of the prayer lists that you know too! We really do need a miracle here! :)
I will try to keep this thing updated. So far, so good. I feel much better than I have now that I am using the HB Formula instead of just progesterone. I just hope it continues to go well.
