The wonder of it all...

It's been a while since I've posted, but truly not much has changed. We are still trying to have a baby. Though I went to a preconception visit with a highly recommended OB/GYN today, just truly a meet and greet. She did a standard information gathering and a quick internal and declared me perfect. That is at least one good thing. Now we are going to get a semen analysis and see how the swimmers are. If there are issues with them, we will end up with intrauterine insemination. I am hoping that we can just keep trying the natural way. I have started taking FertilAid and Fertile CM, I will let you all know how it goes. Oh, and I found that in cycles that I work the night shift, it adds two days to each portion of my cycle. Weird huh?

I am still hoping to take ACLS in the next few months. If I can get that, I might pick up some per diem ER work at a critical access hospital, and get myself some ER experience while waiting. I really want to work ER in a level 1 trauma center. We have had so many nurses leave, that there is a lot of extra time available. So, I am working a lot lately. Hopefully it will slow down, but the money is good while we are trying to buy a house.

I am starting a running program. Attempting to get into better shape. I have let go of the scale, that damn thing never moves. Now I just want my clothes to fit better and maybe to feel comfortable in some summer clothes. We shall see.

I suppose that is all for now. Not too much exciting new.
