Still Nada
Still no ovulation.
Still waiting.
Today is day 17 in my cycle. It's not looking so good for us this month.
In other news, since I've started eating healthier I've been buying peppers to snack on. When I buy them I get the bag with one red, one orange, and one yellow pepper in it. I probably have bought 3-4 bags by now. I kid you not, but in every bag there has been a pregnant pepper, you know a pepper that has another little baby pepper inside, like so:
I feel like somebody must be testing me. I mean, come on..even my peppers can get pregnant! Well the bag I bought last week had 2, yes 2 out of the 3, pregnant peppers! I bought another bag today to cut up for the week and again 2 pregnant peppers!
If only I could be as fertile as a pepper!

Rough Start
We've had quite the rough start to 2010.
1.Our car broke down in the middle of the snow storm. Poor Cole walked back and forth between our house and car trying to figure everything out multiple times. We ended up signing up for AAA and having it towed. Lucky us it turns out we need to replace the transmission...yeah! (That's sarcasm in case you couldn't tell!)
2. One of our baby gates broke and another one fell out of the wall. Our little adventurer NEEDS to be caged, so we needed to replace the gates immedately! Luckily we only had to buy one new one, we were able to remount the other gate.
3. Grace and I came down with the world's worst stomach bug. Yuck! I happened to start throwing the day I started eating healthy. Let me just say that throwing up salad sucks and now I'm having a hard time forcing myself to eat one again.
4. I came down with this stupid stomach bug in the middle of when I'm supposed to ovulate, so it may have funked up this month for us. So far my monitor is still saying I haven't ovulated. I hoping the bug didn't scare ovulation away. I really want this to be the month it all works out for us!
There is some silver-lining though:
1. Grace didn't get as sick as I did. I was vomiting non-stop every 30 minutes for 24 hours, she only got sick 3 times in 24 hours.
2. Because I was so sick I couldn't sleep with Grace or nurse her at night so she's been sleeping with Cole and doing great. For 3 nights in a row now she's gone to bed without breastfeeding and stayed with Cole all night without breastfeeding. She's been nursing a lot more during the day to make up for the lack of night feeds, but day feeds are better then night feeds in my book!. The other night I slept 8 straight hours for the first time in probable close to a 1 1/2 years!
3. Things can only look up from here!

Let it Snow
It snowed during the week of Christmas, but we were so busy that we never had time to take Grace out to play with it. So, when it snowed the other day we took Grace out to play in the snow for the first time. It took me 20 minutes to get Grace dressed and we only played for maybe 10 minutes, but she really had a blast!
Grace decided to eat the snow!

Goals and Review
So, last year I set some goals for 2009. They were:
Goals for 2009
1- Lose 70 pounds. Okay, so this did NOT happen. No real excuses, it just didn't. It started off good, then just went downhill fast.
2- Take care of some of our debt. This also did not really happen. Money became super tight and we ended up having to move. Hopeful things will get better in 2010.
3- Get pregnant again. Did NOT happen, but we certainly tried as hard as we could.
4- Continue to breastfeed at least until Grace is a year old. Accomplished!
5- Save up to go away in May. Accomplished, we went to Worcester for Cole's sister's graduation. Photos here, here, and here!
6- Exercise 3 times a week. Again, nope!
7-Take more me time. A little, but still not as much as I should.
8-Keep a neater house, not let laundry and dishes pile up, do a little each day. Yes and no.
9-Buy a new car. We bought a new car, but only after our other one died, so we still just have one car. I don't really know if this counts as an accomplishment...hmmm.
10-Continue to stay dairy free...YES!
11-Start journaling all Grace does, got lost along the way, but I'm back to blogging about everything she does, even if I'm the only one who reads it!
12-Follow through with my goals and update my progress on them monthly...not really.
So sorta a 50/50 on accomplishing my goals for 2009. I decided to make less goals for 2010, so that I can focus on them more.
Goals for 2010
1- Live a healthier lifestyle, no diets, or worrying about pounds lost. Just create healthier habits, smaller portions, more water, more fruits and veggies. Set good examples for Grace. Become more active as a family. Not workouts, but activities. Physical activities. Get moving as a family!
2- Get pregnant. Do everything within our means to make this happen. Take whatever medication, treatments needed, just make it happen!
3- Be tighter with money, less eating out. This should help the whole healthier lifestyle thing as well!
4- Wean Grace from breastfeeding at some point this year. I really don't want to be breastfeeding a 2 year old.
That's it for now! Happy New Year. May you all reach the goals you set for yourself!
