July 2011

Well, it's been a while. . . The kids have been home for about 2 1/2 weeks and I've loved every minute! Bailey has to stay with her dad most of the time, but I still get to see my sis and Cam. We have been doing all sorts of fun things since they have been home.

Making pottery was fun!!

Baby making update. . . My doctor put me on Provera for 10 days. I've been on it for 8 days and Sunday night I got horribly sick. Started throwing up at 11 pm and didn't stop until the next day. I feel a lot better now. My doctors think it was a virus, but I still think it was the meds. I NEVER take medication and I'm not the type to "just get sick." Anyway. . . I have 2 more days on Provera and then I go on Clomid for 5 days. . . (This is supposed to make me ovulate) Clomid is known for producing multiples. I would love twins, but medically, it would not be the ideal situation for me. The doc has already warned me about early bedrest and multiples would make that even earlier. My doc hopes I will be pregnant by mid August. . .  We will see if this medicine works :)

Foster class. . .  Well, Thursday is our last foster class. I'm very excited! We still have a lot to do in order to get our license, but the class was the biggest thing. Next is just a lot of paperwork.

Kids. . . We have not been keeping Keyonna and N'Kevion since the middle of June bc their mom told me they would be going to their dad's house for the summer. So, I invited my sister and her kids to stay with us since we would have the two empty beds. Well, she decided they were not going to go to their dad's. surprise. surprise. lol

Anyway, their mom asked me to keep the baby instead and my TA would keep the 2 older kids. So that's what we've been doing. We have had Kailea for 6 days now and she is the sweetest thing!

Couponing- I've been trying to save us some money by using coupons so when I do get pregnant I will be able to quit work... So far I think I've done pretty good... Went to walgreens last week and got all this stuff for $12.06 then got back $9 to use on my next trip. . .

This week diapers were on sale... I bought a pack for $5 after my coupons then got back $4 to use next time. . .  My mama bought 2 packs for $7 and got back $6. She is good!
