Its been one of those nights :(

Well, Sunday's I look forward to the night time when desperate housewives is on! Did I mention how much I like that show? My husband is really finding the name funny and always asks me if I am a "desperate housewife" lol.

Well, tonight has been different. My eldest, is not feeling well. Shes been kinda wanting to cuddle with me all day, but with me not feeling 100% (felt worn out) I wasn't in the most cuddly mood. I did cuddle a bit, but then also needed to get other stuff done. Tonight, she just kinda laid on the couch, not really doing too much and just watching scooby doo (she LOVES this show) I put her to bed at around 9pm, and by 9:30 she was calling for me. I went up, shes feeling warm, shes crying...etc. I check her temperature, shes warm but not too high which is good. Then we take her socks off (dont know why she was sleeping with them on tonight!) and then changed her pj shirt to something shorter. My husband laid with her to help her go back to sleep as she was still a bit upset, and he said she was asleep within minutes. I did give her some advil for children as she did complain her neck hurt yesterday, and with how shes feeling now, figured it would help her. I always feel so badly when my kids are sick :(

So wish her luck on feeling better tomorrow. Shes not missed a day of school yet and she loves to go. I know she would feel bad if she could not go tomorrow.

Do you ever find that Thursdays just kinda sneak up on you?

Seems like every time I turn around, there is Thursday again! I think its a sneaky day, and when you least expect it...its there!

Today has been a bit of a "long" day for me. I did not sleep that well last night, baby was up at 12:30am moving around in her crib, so I just put her in the spare bed with me. She was up at 5:30am to have a feed and then we were up for the day around 7:30. I seem to have a bit of a headache right now, which is not normal for me as luckily enough my headaches are few and far between. So already took a Tylenol, and just laying low right now. 

Well, looks like I am going to be posting on time for the next reading giveaway for Lyuda's turn! I think that today we are going to work with "aura's"

. I want you to use the picture I have posted here and tell me what you see in regards to color.. you will either see it with your mind's eye, or you will "feel" it.. After telling me what color you see/feel, I want you to try and interpret it as to what that color means to you in relation to the picture.

Everyone will be entered to win. I will leave the contest open till SATURDAY to enable everyone to take a peek:)
Good luck!

 

bee pollen and royal jelly...does it work?

I am sure that when trying to conceive, most women are up for trying just about anything! I have heard some pretty neat ideas, and some funny ones, but I like to pass the information along as you never know when one might just do the trick! Here is a storey from a client of mine who has used bee pollen and royal jelly and wanted to share her journey and her information in the hopes it might help someone else as well. 

 I'm not really sure what it does exactly that helps me, but I've read things like it's "good for your eggs".  :)  It's also been called the bee's equivalent to fertility drugs.  Here is a link with some good info:

http://www.babyworld.co.uk/information/trying/getting_body_ready/honey_helps_conception.asp

 

It's hard to find good links to sites that aren't trying to sell the product.  I think it's still valid information, but I get turned off by what looks like a commercial.  But, if you'd like me to gather some links up for you, I'd be happy to do so.  Like I said, I still think the information is valid.

Anyway, here is my story and what we did:

 

We began TTC in December 2006 (I was 34 and DH was 36).  No luck for a few months.  I had been researching different natural things for us to try, but was particularly interested in what I had read about bee pollen.  I decided to add 1 tablespoon of bee pollen to each of our daily post workout smoothies.  The bee pollen was in granule form.  Propolis and royal jelly both seemed to have great fertility benefits as well.  So, I decided we should also eat royal jelly everyday.  We would eat 1 teaspoon in the morning and 1 at night (on an empty stomach).  The kind we used was bought at GNC and it's royal jelly preserved in honey.  (I'm not a big fan of honey, so it's rather hard for me to choke down, but it's worth it!)  We did this for 2-3 months and got our first BFP!!  Sadly, that pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 5.5 weeks.  We stopped taking the bee products.  I'm not sure why, we just didn't take it anymore.

We tried for a few more months with no luck.  So, we had a fertility work up.  It was discovered that I have a uterine anomaly due to a birth defect (nothing to do with fertility itself and nothing to do with my miscarriage).  I won't go into the boring details, but what it boils down to is that I only have a chance to conceive when I ovulate from the right side.  The good news was that all other fertility test came back with excellent results!  So, we kept trying for a few more months....

No luck.  So, we decided to try the bee products again.  This time, I ate the royal jelly only once per day...in the morning.  And, my DH took bee pollen capsules (2000-4000 mg per day....when he remembered).  I figured since the queen ate royal jelly and the workers ate bee pollen, we should do it that way, too.  If it didn't work, we would take it up a notch. 

About 3 months later, I got another BFP!

As in anything that you read on the Internet or interested in trying, please consult with your dr to ensure that this does not interfere with something that you might already be taking. And if your allergic to bees, please do not try the bee pollen! lol. 

I also have found other information that I thought might also help explain some things about this topic

Bee pollen - Taken with Royal Jelly can possibly improve or eliminate menstrual problems. Is rich in vitamins, minerals, nucleic acids, and steroid hormones. Strengthens the pituitary gland. 

Sarsaparilla - Contains both male and female hormones. For men, it increases sperm count especially when taken with Ginseng. For women, it balances female hormones, strengthens the pituitary gland and enhances both FSH & LH. Contains progesterone. 

Did anyone see what happened to my weekend?

I some how lost it between Friday night and Monday morning? I woke up, and all of a sudden its Monday! I did not get a chance to post on the blog the winner and I apologize for keeping you all waiting. As mentioned, everyone who answered was entered, and I drew KRYSTAL C! Congrats! If you scroll down the blog you are going to find brookes link to her site. Just email her and let her know that you are the winner from the blog.

As for the weekend, seemed to go really fast. Saturday was a complete blur. My daughter had soccer Saturday morning IN THE RAIN, then we went out hunting for a van for myself. I am hoping to trade in my car for a van. I know with the price of gas seems silly, but as I am doing my friend a favor by watching her daughter and driving them to school back and forth, do you know how hard it is to get two 5 year olds and a baby all in car seats buckled into a Toyota Echo? Let me tell you, that pretty soon I am going to be an expert juggler. I have it down pact on who goes in first and gets buckled! lol. So a van would make things so much easier.

Well, on Saturday I learned that the most I can get for my car is 1/2 price of what I could sell it for privately, so I guess privately it is, and then will go looking for the van! lol.  Sunday we had the grey cup party at our house (I dont watch football, but everyone else seemed too!) and then we have today. I felt like I have gotten alot accomplished today including folding all the laundry in between answering as many emails as I could in the time the baby was sleeping. Did you know that the "louder" it is while the baby is sleeping, they tend to sleep better and longer? My baby slept almost 2 hours during the grey cup (like the Superbowl) party and this was when everyone was here. Today, I put on the music channel and she slept almost 2 hours. Do you think getting a white noise machine would do the trick? Anyone with any experience in that?

Anyways, baby is fussing behind me, wants my attention! lol.
