Half Scary Half Glamour

Just realized I never posted this!! (It was definitely not Halloween last weekend. haha!!)

My little sister had her Halloween dance this past weekend and asked me to do her make up! It was seriously so fun. I did a little research on Pinterest and copied a couple different looks. I didn't have a whole lot of time either, so it prolly could have looked better. And in the same breath, maybe if I had keep going I would have made it worse. I'm going with the former and stickin' to it. :D

Anyway, here's the face of my GORGEOUS baby sister and her cute date!!

Because it was a high school dance they weren't allowed to do a full face paint. When she got to her group dinner she found out that most of the people either didn't know or didn't care. (prolly the latter cuz this is high school, let be real folks.)

So instead we did half creepy skeleton face and half red lip glamour. This is one time when I prolly could have done a better job with better make up supplies but all I had to work with was a super old pallet with 100 colors that no one ever used.

In hind sight, the half face was WAY cooler. Don't you think??

From the infamous instagram of my gorgeous sister! She's amazing. That's one of her friends in the background. Super creepy and not nearly as cool as my amazing sister. Sorry Taylie!

Katie, You're the most incredible woman I know! I love you!

Me No Likey

Oh where to start... In the "It finally started" post I said that I had finally started the process of IVF. (clever title, eh?) I also said that I hadn't really felt anything so far. Well, turns out I either jinxed myself or it was just too early to tell. I didn't have crazy effects, but one night I did cry all the way through "Master Chef" which is not really a crying show. haha. I also felt super "off" on Thursday. I'm not really sure how to describe it except to say just that. It was weird and I stayed in bed all day and cried and ate Blue Bell. I guess that's not the worst way to spend a day but it wasn't very productive either. haha. The shots got easier and easier to give myself up until I had to start taking the cetrotide. I only took it twice but both times it stung going in and lasted way longer than the others. No bueno in my book. The next new shot I had was the trigger shot. It came a day earlier than expected but that end...

Next Step

I've been avoiding this post for a while now. In fact, a long time... I've been thinking about it since I wrote the post about our little grey circles that didn't make it. I like writing but the last few weeks have been kinda blah. I also think I've been a little hesitant because I've always wanted these posts to be super happy and chipper but that's not exactly how I feel. After the last post I did get a lot of really nice feedback, one in particular that made me feel extra good. My aunt is an incredible person and I love talking to her. She said to me that no matter how long those grey circles were my babies, they still were and I was allowed to grieve as much as I wanted. I think that kind of gave me permission to really cry and it made me feel a lot better. Thanks Kim. :) But now we're on to bigger and better things. I can't lie and say that I'm super excited about this transfer. I think I got WAY too excited for the last one/first one and it ...

Our little grey circles!

The transfer happened this past weekend!! Yay!! I'm sure some of you are thinking "Yay! What the heck is she talking about?!" Haha. As a reminder... The short story of IVF goes like this. Step 1- Take a bunch of drugs to make my ovaries over produce. Step 2- Collect the eggs via surgery. Step 3- Fancy (and expensive!) doctors take Justin's sperm and inject it into the eggs in a little petri dish. Step 4- We wait patiently while they grow. The next step happened this weekend! They take the now fertilized eggs and put them back into my womb to hopefully implant and grow!! This is also the "moment of conception" for us. A woman will likely have lots of eggs fertilize in her lifetime but she doesn't get pregnant if they don't implant. So this is it! The funny thing about it is that Justin wasn't there. :( He had an appointment at work that couldn't be changed so for the rest of our lives we will be able to joke that Justin wasn't ...
