The snow was still around when we woke up yesterday morning! Apparently it's going to be around all week, which is fun! She was really sad yesterday that our snowman was going to melt (she actually called Jon at one point and was happily talking and then just started sobbing when he asked about the snowman, telling him that she really didn't want it to melt. He said it was the saddest part of his day, hearing her little voice all sad. Typical me, I didn't have much sympathy and just rolled my eyes and tried to explain that that's just how snow works haha). So when she woke up and saw it was still there, she was VERY excited. She lifted Dani up to show her the princess snowgirl haha.
I had to go to work for a few hours, so Quinny and Daddy went outside to play for a bit. Apparently the snow was no longer very sticky, and they couldn't make anything, so they just had a snowball fight instead haha.
How I spend the lunch shifts at work. Sigh. This job is just no fun.
Went for my IUI bloodwork to see if we were pregnant... we got a big fat NO. I was prepared for that, we knew our chances were low-ish, and we have spent so long trying and being disappointed, so it wasn't overly shocking. But I still shed some tears. I know we just need to keep moving forward and be grateful for our family as it is.... I just feel so sad. But it is out of our control, so we will just keep doing daily life and loving each other and loving Quinny.
My mom has a ambilicord hernia that got diagnosed a few weeks ago and she's been waiting for surgery to get it fixed, and was told it would be 3-5 months. But then she got worse yesterday and her doctor admitted her into the hospital and she got it fixed last night! Sucky that she was in pain, but we are happy that it's fixed and she can focus on getting better! What a trooper.
I decided to skip Mom's Morning Out today because I just really didn't feel up to being around pregnant moms and moms with brand new newborns (it seems that most of our group falls into those categories these days! Almost every single one of the women got pregnant this past year). I want to be able to be happy for all the pregnant friends of mine, and in order to do that, I need to stay away on days when I feel raw. I spent a lot of the morning playing with Quinny and just praying quietly, handing over my bitterness and disappointment and making plans for what's next. We can't do another round of Clomid and IUI this month because of our travel plans, so I talked with my doctor and we are going to just take the low dosage of Clomid this month, unmonitored with no treatment and see what happens. And then in January she will up my dosage to 50mg and we will do the IUI again. We can only do it three times, so here's to hoping it works. In the meantime, my sweet 3 year old has given me many hugs in the last 24 hours. What a joy she is. We decided to spend the morning doing Christmas crafts. For the reindeer I had to paint her hand, which she found hilarious and kept giggling (and then went to wash her hand immediately after we were done, because she didn't want to stay dirty haha).
I cut out all these pieces, trigness and stripes, and she hole punched the circles, and then I put glue on the pieces, and she put them how she wanted them!
This little guy turned out pretty good! I helped press her hands down, and then once it was dry she decorated it how she wanted it, and I drew the mouth :)
I was pretty impressed with this, because they were crooked, as they should be since she's 3, but she also got them fairly straight! And if the stripes of garland were too long, she would cut them down to the size she wanted. I think it turned out pretty cute! She fills and heals my fragile heart. I am so thankful for her and the way she is.
