So after over a year of trying to get pregnant my day has finally come! I got the positive HPT this morning. I retested this afternoon and to my amazement there was still a second line. I am beyond ecstatic. After all of these months and the PCOS dx and all of the other problems and anxiety I am so glad that this day has come. I have to call the doctor in the morning to have a beta drawn and am hoping that it confirms what I have seen today.

So things are going better for me now. Mike and I are back to ttc for about a month and a half now. I started Clomid at the end of August and just got my first positive OPK on Monday. I am so excited. Dealing with the PCOS has been difficult, but I have been able to be more positive about everything knowing that I will be ovulating this month. I have my day 14 sono tomorrow to make sure that I did.

My mother in law passed on June 29. Life has been hard for me going on. Depression has set in and I am so thankful that I left my job back in March, because I am having such a hard time dealing. The baby issue has gotten more complicated as I have been put back on some heavy medications that could really mess up a growing fetus. So for the time being we are back to birth control and just trying to figure out if I ovulate at all with the the PCOS going on. I would say that it is a good time to loose a few pounds but I can hardly get off from the couch between the medication and the depression. I know things will get better and that the baby will come in time, but it is just so hard when all seems out of reach right now. Finding out that I had fertility issues was depressing enough, but I miss my mother in law so much. It is just one day at a time right now

So it's been a while... The wedding went off with only a minor glitch with the cake. All of the stress and anxiety was really all for nothing. But I wouldn't be me if I didin't stress over these things. Our apartment caught fire on December sixth. Things were a little hectic for a few months. Mike and I spent six weeks living with my parents, I am so grateful to have parents and family to support me. We moved into our new apartment in January and are finlly settled into our new way of life. Things are a little different here as we have more space and a whole different set of problems. Mike is still on swing shift, which I hate, but the fun part is his transportation issue. I reallly need to get him driving more, but it is so hard with CNY weather Our new thing is that we are trying to conceive. That has been a little nerve wraking for me but I know that in the end it will all be worth it. I really think that we'll be okay. The fire was a huge test to our first few months of marriage, but I really think we came out okay. I know that we sure look at things a lot differently know. It is so easy to take the things we have for granted, but when all you have is gone, even just temporarily,, your perspective changes. Even the bad days aren't so bad now when you look at the big picture. We were fortunate that the only damage we took from the fire was smoke and that our insurance company took care of everything. I am glad though that things have settled down now. I am really looking forward to a new addition to our family.

So, we went and applied for the marriage license today. It's really sinking in now that I will be a married woman in a few weeks. Jackie and I started assembling favors with Grandma a few days ago. We are half way there. The candy favors include a hug a few kisses and a dove chocolate. I thought the symbolism was great. The candle favors are also coming along as well. I have ribbon with our names and dates on them on about half, but am not sure if I will be doing them all.

So my shower was yesterday. It was very intimate, which was nice. The girls really did a great job pulling it all together. It was a little sad as well. My aunt passed away Saturday night, and I cried when I opened her gift. 
I wasn't expecting it. The first thing on top was a box of tissues, which was good because I really needed them. All in all it was a good day though, and I was glad to spend it with my closest friends and family. Now it's time to get working on all of those thank you notes. We also finally finalized everything with our florist and photographer this weekend. Things are really starting to come together at this point. This is a good thing with just forty days to go! 
I am starting to get a little nervous. It just seems a little surreal at times. It really dawned on me that I was going to a wife in a little more than a month when I read a card addressed the the future Mrs. Edwards. I think it was really the first time I had said it out loud. It sounds nice. I am looking forward to it.

Wow, the time really flies when you are having fun... Met with our minister on Thursday. It went well, we got our vows approved. Mom picked out her dress on Friday. I love the color and think that she will be happy with it. Mike and I are planning on practicing our dancing tonight, and spending some much needed couple time as we have both been working nonstop it seems. Most of the wedding plans are coming together now, it is nice to see the fruits of our labor finally materializing. My shower is next week, lots of things to get done.

So, I've had the stomach bug for the last two days... not very fun. I haven't even been able to do anything, much less think about the wedding. I am finally starting to feel better though and my strength is coming back. Now it should be back to business as usual. I need to get the invites for the engagement party in the mail by Friday. Lets see if I am up to getting them addressed by then
