Only one day.

One day to pout. One day of pity party and one day to wonder 'When is it my turn?'. Then move on. Move on to cycle number 9 of trying for number 2. Cycle 9 of hope and thinking positively that this month is my month. This month will work! My super awesome and unwelcome period showed up on Christmas day. Bleh. I knew it was coming, I had been testing negative all week, but I held out hope. And that's what hurts the most. The hope that comes crashing down when you get the definite NOPE. Not this time. Maybe next month. And I'm glad that people know that we are trying again for a sibling, but the 'oh, it'll happen' and the 'whats taking so long' are getting old. So next month I'm starting back up with temping and Ill still use the OPKs but I only have one preggo test so guess who is NOT testing early?? That's right...ME :) I'm gonna be a good girl and wait it out.

So this year we got a white Christmas!! I'm so in love with this season and will spend an entire snow storm just looking out my window watching the flakes fall. Alyssa would even curl up next to me and watch, like she knew. She was not actually a fan of the snow. She took a few steps into it and then just started freaking out because everywhere she stepped would be white, she couldn't get out of it. She was much better once I shoveled.

Christmas Eve was so so much fun! It was awesome last year, watching the kids, but this year, they are ALL mobile and getting into stuff. They are really getting to an age where they can feel the excitement. I'm a happy momma! Alyssa got to open one present on Xmas Eve before the big party and she chose what turned out to be a latch board. She loved it!! (And no, she doesn't like to wear clothes now haha, she was the nekkid kid for a while at the party too...gotta pick your battles)



 

Watching my parents with their grand kids just melts my heart! I realize that I may be affected by having Alyssa, but really, the whole family gained her in their lives!

 

Couch photos are entertaining now, the big kids don't wanna sit still anymore! 

 

I hosted Christmas morning for the Falls side, and it was so mice! Everyone got an actual seat with the addition of our new couch! The whole gang just relaxed and ate and opened presents. Such a nice holiday with a low key family visit. And it ended with more snow!! 

 

Next weekend we get to go to Vacaville to visit the in-laws. We missed last weekend because of the snow storm (THANKS!!)
