Opinions Please

Hey out there! I need your help. We have an issue that needs to be resolved and I'm looking for the opinions of my fellow bloggers to help make the desicion.

We are (obviously) trying for #2. BUT, if I were to get preggers this month the baby would be due on June 17th. I know some of you are thinking "what's so bad about June 17th?" The answer to that is: My birthday is June the 10th and Cheyenne's is the 5th and John's sister's is the 8th. June is pretty much filled up. I would feel sooooooo guilty if Cheyenne had to share her birthday with her brother/sister. I wouldn't care if the baby came on my birthday but the idea of having "combined" parties just doesn't seem fair to me.

On the other hand, I hate my job. By taking a month off it is prolonging the time I have to stay there (even if it is just by a month) and I am antsy to get pregnant again. Also, if for some reason I am having fertility issues they require you to have been TTC for a full year. I would hate to start from scratch where that is concerned. Also, I'm afraid that if I don't get preggo now, I will wind up quitting my job and have to quit TTC as well.

What do you all think? Should I just go for it and keep trying? Or should I just skip this month and start up again next cycle? Is it really *that* big of a deal having my kids have birthdays' in the same week/month?????

HELP PLEASE!!!!

What's going on!

Well,
It's been a while since I've updated so I thought I'd throw something together really quick.

Work is....well, it's going. I'm not too thrilled with it but it's good money and has good benefits so I'll stick it out for a while. I don't know that I'll continue to work there after we have our 2nd child, but we're playing that by ear.

I've enrolled in a couple college courses that will hopefully enable me to get a better paying job down the line. I'm not exactly up to par where software applications are concerned so my hope is to get a couple programs under my belt to see if that will increase my salary at all.

I have to have oral surgery on Tuesday. I'm scared beyond belief but I'm hoping that it will make me feel better in the long run. Apparently, my upper left wisdom tooth is impacted into the bone wich is causing the lymph nodes in my neck to swell up from time to time. Those of you who know me personally know that I had a scare last year around this time with my "nodes" and was baffled with the results of various tests coming back clear. The oral surgeon thinks that that darn wisdom tooth is the cause of not only the discomfort in my mouth, but also with the lymph nodes being inflamed and my sinus problems as well. The surgery is actually pretty invasive since he has to chip away jaw bone to get to the tooth but he says it'll be fine. I'm not being put out for it and that scares me just a bit.

I have a baby shower to go to for one of my good friends. She's having a baby girl and I'm thrilled for her and her boyfriend. It's about damn time that my friends are starting to "grow up" a bit. Last weekend my best friend from High School announced her engagement to her long time boyfriend. She and her fiance are having some issues about where and when to have the wedding so they are holding off on setting a date. She claims that it won't be for 2 years but her fiance is pushing for next September- we shall see. She said that she wanted to do it in Hawaii- I told her that if that were the case I would be unable to attend since I don't have a grand to spend on travel. Oh well........to each his own I suppose.

My 1 year wedding anniversary is in a couple weeks and due to the fact that I have to spend over $500 to have this tooth removed, John and I aren't going to be able to go away like we would have liked to. Instead, we'll keep it pretty low key. We'll probably wind up doing something simple, like dinner and a movie. Oh well....maybe a nice romantic road trip next year.

Well, that's all I have for now. Hope everyone is doing well!!!!!!!

Before I go

Well,
I'm off for the long weekend to spend some quality with John and my baby. We are going to the lake house in Wisconsin for some fishing, boating and........house hunting??!!!! Yes, we are tossing around the idea of making Wisconsin our permanent place of residence. Mainly because it is only 45 minutes from where we are now but where the houses are bigger, better and much less expensive. I'm excited to start looking.

We are still TTC. We have about another week before we can find out and I'm crossing fingers and toes that this is our month. Mostly because if this isn't the month we will have to hold off for 2 cycles so that are children aren't sharing birthdays. If I got preggo next month my due date would be the 10th of June (which is MY birthday) and that's just too close to June 5th(which is Chey's birthday) I have had no symptoms as of yet so I'm guessing that it's once again, not our month. It will happen when it is supposed to (or so I like to tell myself)

Work is going alright. It's not my favorite place in the world but there are far more terrible places I could have to be on a daily basis. I pretty much keep to myself and nobody bothers me. I do have to say though that I do not like my co-worker. For no reason other than the fact that she doesn't work. She takes days off left and right, leaves early, sits on her internet all day and text messages like it's going out of style. She is constantly complaining about how much work she has but yet she's always doing something other than working. Today was especially irritating since my boss took the day off. She decided that she'd like the day off as well and so I was stuck in the office alone. I wouldn't be upset about it if I was comfortable with the job but I've only been at this for 4 weeks so I felt it was a little soon to go at the job solo. But, what do I know????

Well, that's all I have for now. I'll try to be up to date more but with being away from the house for 10+ hours a day, I have little time for anything. Hope you are all doing well!!!!
