My pic from this morning's test
Testing 1..2..3
My cold is still here, lingering. My sleep has been interrupted the past 2 nights because of it. I wake up with a stuffy nose and a dry throat. I am a bit sleepy this morning.
We are having a chili cookoff today at work and I brought my award winning chili. Let's hope it wins for me again!

Getting close..
I have come down with a cold. It started Friday, after Jared and I finished "ghosting" 2 of our neighbors. After running around outside in the cold, fall air, I came inside and felt a sore throat coming on. Saturday I felt ok but, still had a sore throat. We went to the American Royal Rodeo Saturday night with our friends, Kim and Russ and my parents. It was inside but, I talked quite a bit with Kim and my mom and it's so loud in there that you have to talk pretty loud yourself. So, my throat got even worse. I stayed home from church yesterday and didn't sleep great last night.
This morning, I feel better but, overnight my sore throat moved on up into my nose and sinuses so, that kept me up. I am at work now and feeling pretty good.
I know alot of women come down with a cold when they first conceive. It's a pretty common early pregnancy symptom so, I hope that is the case for me.
Tomorrow is Halloween and I am thinking of taking the plunge and testing. I will be approximately 10 DPO so, we'll see what happens.

It has to happen some time!
I am 5 DPO today and can't wait for about this time, next week. 1 week from today, I will probably test. I will be 12 DPO and if I am pg, surely a BFP would show up by then. That is when I got a BFP with Abby.
We have the rodeo coming up this weekend to look forward to. Next week is Halloween on Tuesday. We will be passing out candy for all the kids in our neighborhood. Hopefully I can keep myself occupied next week so I don't get too eager.
2 girls that I post with on a TTC forum just got their BFP's. One girl got it last week but, the other girl got one this morning. It is still quite early and faint but, it is looking promising for her.
Here is the pic of her early BFP:

Gearing up!
I feel alot more laid back this cycle. I am getting used to TTC and not getting to hyped up over anything anymore. I just can't wait until I am pg again. I loved being pg.
Jared and I have been toying with the idea of starting our own business for well over a year and have gone back and forth on the idea. Well, we have pretty much made the decision to go ahead with it. We are seriously looking into buying a SERVPRO franchise at the moment.
That being said, we will have to sell our new home :(
Ted finally got his feet done and they look much better. Unfortuanately, his feet were so far gone that we could not put shoes on. Hopefully they can grow out a bit more by the time the farrier comes to visit again so we can stick shoes on there.
While the farrier was there, he told me of a nice buckskin gelding that he knows of that I may be able to get for a good price. He's only a yearling but, would be worth some $$, once he is broke. I am excited about that possibility but, we'll see if anything ever comes of it. Jared was pretty interested as well.
Well, that's really all that is happening with me right now. My Grandma is coming in town this weekend so, it will be fun to see and spend time with her. She is here for my dad's birthday.
Sorry, no pics this time. Oooh, I do have a good one of Ted that I took a week or two ago:

PUGS
Last night was the first night we had them and it went well.
Here is a pic of all 4 of them that we took a while ago, when Coco was still really small and we lived at the Kempers:
AS for TTC news.. AF is pretty much packed up and gone but, she likes to linger a little bit. Got just a couple of weeks until O time again. I have 1 more tube of preseed left that we may use. I also mentioned a couple of posts back that I have a shorter luteal phase that may not be adequate for keeping a fertilized egg. I started taking vitamin B6 last month and will continue taking that again this month but, another thing that helps with a luteal phase defect is using natural progesterone cream. I have ordered some on ebay and plan on using that shortly after I O. If I do achieve a pregnancy, I will continue applying it until I reach my 2nd trimester. If I do not achieve a pregnancy, I discontinue using the cream, once AF comes for another visit. Hopefully I will have made a wise investment and can use the cream for a few months!!
Jared and I have a 3 day weekend coming up and am so excited!! The holidays are fast approaching too and I am really looking forward to that. I hope I get to be pregnant during the holidays again. I liked being able to enjoy all of the holiday food without feeling bad about how much I was eating. hehe At Thanksgiving last year, I will still in my first Tri and remember being a little nauseous but, not terribly bad. I'll take it though, it's defiantely worth it! Christmas was a different story because we had just found out about Abby's condition. It wasn't our best Christmas so, hopefully we can enjoy this one a little more.
