May Day! May Day!

…it snowed…  Can you stand it?

I woke up to snow on my rooftops and had to wear socks to work instead of flips for the first time in two weeks.  Utah is difficult.  So much for spring. 

I wanted to give a heads up about Sara & Erin over at It Takes a Village.  Their little guy has taken a slight turn and they’re back in the NICU.  Please keep them in your prayers and hope for a speedy (& definite) trip back home. 

Update on Meds:  So far so good.  Of course I’m only on my day5 birth control.  My boobs are still manageable and I’ve only had two migraines.  I go in for something called a “sona hyst” (sp?) next Tuesday and I’m guessing we’ll get the calendar from there.  Luckily, we have a nice credit with the doctor and some left over meds.  We’ll see how far that gets us…  I’m mostly looking forward to the calendar.  I want to start planning my birthing classes year.  Really, I want to know when this try #2 is taking place! 

Last year, our frozen transfer was around the end of May.  I was on bed rest over Memorial Day weekend.  This year, I’m aiming for a fresh transfer sometime in June.  And I’m aiming for early June because I have a date with jbeeky and Amy Ray on the 19th.  Can’t miss that!  I’m hoping for warm, growing babies by then.  :)  - their first trip to San Diego! 

Other than all that, life is kicking alone.  I’ve been watching the train wreck that is the FLDS compound raid.  Those of you living elsewhere must think it’s all so strange.  I guess I think it’s strange too.  And now they’ve found that 41 of the children (out of 400 or so) have broken bones or fractures?  And 92% of the girls between 14-17 have children or are pregnant?  God, where does it stop and who decides who stops it?  And then I heard some woman defend the fact that her three (teenaged) daughters all married men older than 47 because they have a shortage of young men in the group.  That’s a reason to give your 16 year old daughter to a 50 year old man?  Ugh.  I just don’t know what to think about it anymore…

Like “they” say, “some people are like slinkies.  They’re not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.”

Amen.

I like the positive thinking :) Keep it up !
Glad that the meds aren’t kicking your ass :)

Love the slinky analogy. I might use that. daily :) ha ha
Oh and all of the incest that is coming out of this.
Why is that it happened to “the BOYS” is it so alarming. Is it taking center stage. HELLOOOOO. 92% of the girls have babies for the love.
Is that not RAPE !
Shurtleff is still out there defending and dancing around the Utah issues. Good luck to you buddy.

That FLDS stuff is making me sick. Almost as sick as the guy who locked his 18 year old daughter in the cellar and fathered 7 of her children. And WE don’t have babies?

b. I saw the story about the cellar last night, and it, along with the FLDS story, just makes me unbelievably sick to my stomach. Our son was in an abusive situation (neglect, sexual, and violence) before I adopted him and nothing ripped my heart out more that what he told me happened to him. People get away with this shit.

Keri… We are thinking positive thoughts for you. Can’t wait to see you tomorrow.

There was a story on the Today show about a week ago where 3 teenage boys from an FDLS sect talked about having been kicked out because there was too much competition for wives. THAT’S why there’s a shortage of men in the community–not that it’s any excuse for marrying off teenage girls.

I just have to say, and I am not phsychic or anything, but I totally had a dream that you were pregnant with TWINS!! So good luck!

It snowed on May 1st the year I moved from Ireland to CO. I was thinking “Why the eff did my mom move us here?” :)

The compound thing is scaring a lot of people. I heard that about 92% of the girls and was shocked.

Hope you hear soon when try #2 will take place.

Bring on the babies! And the Humphreys!

I’m glad the meds are going well so far. Time for some babies over there!
