I'm back

Hello everyone, I've been MIA for a week now and am finally getting back to updating the old blog. My mom, sister, and dad were here visiting us; mom and sis for 9 days and dad for just the weekend. We just came back from the airport and the house is so empty. Its always so hard to get left behind. They filled the house with so much laughter and goofiness. It makes it extra sad when you come back home and realize they're not here and not only that....but you won't see them for another 3-4 months. For those of you that don't know, I am *extremely* close with my parents and sister, especially so with my mom. My mom and I talk everyday. I miss her so much everyday. I am an extremely fortunate person. I have ideal parents. I really do. I thank God everyday for giving them to me and can only hope that I can be as good of a parent as they have been to me. They have always been selfless and everything that they've ever done has always been for my sister and me. We are both so so lucky to have them.

Its in moments like these, when I can still smell my mom's perfume lingering in the air that I get teary-eyed knowing that I won't see her for a while. Knowing that I can't just drive to their house to see all 3 of them (they live in CA) makes me so unbelievably sad that I feel like I could spend the rest of the night mourning their departure. But anyways, me sulking won't make their plane turn back around, so its kinda pointless....

My mom did a fantastic job of decorating and painting. I'll upload pics as soon as I can.

On the TTC front, I am still waiting to O, which is not shocking. Chris starting taking Letrozole/Femara. After some hormonal b/w, prompted by his 2 low count SAs, we have discovered that Chris has low-ish testosterone and high estrogen. He'll be on Letrozole for 30 days and then will have his b/w rechecked to see if the imbalance has been repaired. We also have our re-consult on 10/01.

I think thats it for now. Oh, and did I mention that I gained about 5 lbs this past week. That brings me to a total of about 10-12 lbs gained in the past 3 months. Diet bootcamp starts promptly tomorrow. I need to look fabulous for a wedding that my pregnant SIL is attending, and I have a little over a month to do it.
