Shutterfly Christmas Cards!!

Have you heard of Shutterfly? (www.shutterfly.com) They are a website that allows you to create many different things with your own photos. You sign up and upload pictures and choose from just regular photos, picture books, calendars and even holiday cards. You can do almost anything there. In the past I've ordered many photos from them to send to family members as well as two different photo books, which are amazing and fun to design. They have different sizes and the option to choose your own backgrounds for each page and the amount of pages you like. Their cost for products and shipping is very reasonable and I found delivery time was good as well. Last year I wanted to use them for my holiday cards, but unfortunately procrastinated too long, and didn't get my pictures done in time and wouldn't have received them on time. I love that they have so many different choices for Christmas cards from just one picture or many pictures. My favorite type is ones with nice borders and able to put one big picture on them similar to this design http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/cards-stationery/charming-dotted-ribbon-christmas-card?sortType=1&storeNode=93476 I'm sure as my family grows I'll love having the multiple picture option on the cards for the kids to have different spots, and poses to themselves. I am looking forward to using shutterfly this year for my holiday cards. They are nice and convenient way to send pictures and a card in one to your family members near and far, and never leave me disappointed with the finished product.

Almost There

Only a few more days until we will be in the new place. I'm very excited. It's long over due to be out of my current place. The new one is a much healthier environment and I love everything about it. The move should be very quick, we have many great friends helping us, and we've already helped out by slowly taking over loads in the van. So mainly the only stuff left is the furniture and a few boxes, which we are hoping to move over before Saturday. Still ttc, I'm hoping maybe in the new house, we'll be happier and less stressed that maybe it'll happen easier, who knows. Still no cycle since April, but have tested a few different times, and figure I'll keep testing every few weeks or at least the beginning of every month if my cycle doesn't come, so fingers crossed. I'm more then ready for a new addition, and everyone around me seems to be getting pregnant and it'd be cool to have some friends to be pregnant with. Although I'm not picky and just want to be pregnant whenever it happens. Miss Cheyanne is gone for the week with my sister, surprisingly I'm doing very well with this, probably because I'm busy with last minute packing. I've talked to her everyday this week, today I finally started to tear up a bit when I talked to her. I'm going to give her the biggest hug ever when I see her. Then let her loose to look at her new room which is decorated in Dora the Explorer and I know she's going to flip out! I guess that's all for now, any other posts will be from the new house!! Fingers crossed for good news in the near future!

Things outside of TTC

We recently started looking for a new place to rent. We are more then sick of the place we are in, with our landlord pretty much being a slumlord. He's out of town 8 months out of the year, at least anyway. Hard to get a hold of if you need anything, not to mention a little over 2 months ago a new girl moved in below, and she's trouble. In almost 6 years that I've lived here we've never had an issue with safety. Since she's been here, her apartment has been broken into twice, apparently one of the times they were demanding money, and "apparently" hit her with a gun. It wasn't random, it was targeted, so then you start to wonder what's this girl into? Well I ain't sticking around to find out. You constantly hear fighting (although she's suppose to be living on her own) loud music after 11:00. We luckily found a new place, it's bigger it's better and the landlord seems great. He's been really nice about everything, meeting us at the place so we can unload some boxes so our current place isn't stuffed with boxes as we don't have the room to store them. Moving day is June 19th, and I couldn't be happier to put this place behind me. I hate being here every day and every little creek or noise scares me. I don't want to be in a place with my DD where I have to constantly worry. So bring on the new beginning in a new place, and then hopefully in a more positive environment we'll have more luck with the pregnancy thing, less stress seems to be important. So here's hoping!! Fingers crossed!!!

Update on Things

Well I was slightly reminded that I haven't written on this thing in awhile. Still ttc. Although it's somewhat been shoved to the back burner so to speak as we are now moving into a new place. Thank god! Seems like many people around me are getting pregnant. I hate feeling jealous or envious of people getting pregnant some sooo easily. I hate that my cycle is in no way regular which makes it completely hard to plan at all, just pretty much keep on trying and pray it happens. Doctor doesn't seem to say too much about the irregular cycle just that it's like that with many people. Last one was beginning of April, and nothing since and 2 BFN. So we shall see what happens, maybe once we're in the new place and stress levels are down we'll have more luck. Here is hoping. I guess that's it for now. I will really have to try to update this thing more..although I think I dont bother as I know there is barely r no readers.

Waiting...

Well, for the past 3 months in a row, I've had my cycle which for me is not normal. So I decided to try the whole counting days till ovulation. Which is almost done now. So now it's the waiting game, to see if we had any luck this month, and if not, waiting until the next cycle comes, to try to do it again. I'm going to try my hardest each time to stay positive. I've also started taking Vitamin B6, I've read a few places that it can help with fertility, so we'll see. Crossing my fingers for luck. If not, then try try again.

Introduction

Hey everyone. First of all, thanks for stumbling onto my blog. Just a bit about me. I'm 25, with a wonderful husband, and a beautiful daughter Cheyanne. She's a little over 2. My husband and I have decided to officially start trying for our second child. To start, I can conceive, I just have difficultly because I don't have a regular cycle which makes it very difficult to try to track ovulation and such. We went 2-4 years without any method of BC before getting pregnant with my DD. I always wanted there to be no more then 3 years between my children when I had them, and I think unfortunately that I may not get that wish. It took a bit to try to convince my husband it was time to try for our second child. I'm hoping to share my experience, get advice and possibly meet some new people along the way that can sympathize and share as well.
