Winston LOVES the snow



Look at those ears flop as Winston bounds through the snow!

SNOW!!!

Wowie! Our first real snow of the year was a doozie! It started snowing yesterday before I got up (probably around 7 a.m.) and just stopped around 6 tonight! Winston had a blast jumping around in the snow and my floors are a complete mess from him tracking in snow! I had such a great time watching him that it doesn't really matter! Chris went out to snow-blow the driveway around 2 and didn't get back in till 5. He's gotten from the truck to the end of the driveway clear but the front of the garage is still not done so I won't be going anywhere tomorrow either! I was looking forward to getting a run in at the gym but I guess there's nothing I can do about it.

Chris made me breakfast this morning which is the amount of my Valentine's present - he just doesn't think ahead! He figured he would stop today on the way home from work and get me something. I got him a cute card and 2 fleece sweatshirts to replace one that has recently joined the 'do not wear out of the house' pile.

Since Wednesday is usually my errand day and I'd gotten most of the 'chores' around the house done, I spent most of the morning watching the first season, first dvd of The Sorpanos with Chris. We were watching an episode on A&E the other day and I was surprised that I didn't remember the early ones so we decided to get them from netflix! I got some knitting done as well which is always nice. I'm working on dishcloths right now since the Love_2_knit_dishcloths Round Robin will be coming my way sometime! Alright, enough for now. I'm going to get some pictures of our beautiful snow online!

Doctor's appointment update

Well, we had our follow up apointment with my doctor on Friday and got some good news - we can start trying to get pregnant as soon as we get to "that point" of this cycle! I'm so thrilled that we don't have to wait 3 months again. I'm a bit apprehensive because it doesn't seem like we're doing much different so I don't know if I can hope for a different outcome. My doctor did put me on a high dose of progesterone (I think it's prometrium, 100 mg) which he said will make sure my lining is matured enough to support a pregnancy. He also said that high doses of progesterone have been known to suppress the imune system a bit so perhaps that will counteract the antinuclear antibodies that could potentially be attachking the pregnancy. When we *do* get pregnant again, I'm going to ask him about the possibility of the prolactin in Chris' semen potentially causing spasms and miscarriage (don't remember which book I read this in but it's always stuck in my mind). Perhaps we'll have to use condoms when I'm pregnant (how funny is that!) but if it will halp it's SO worth it!

I just found this great webite - www.librarything.com - that lets you keep track of the books you're reading, waiting for, love, etc. This is great for me 'cause I keep adding more books to the list of ones that I want to read and it's getting a bit unruly! Plus, I can add it to my sidebar - check it out!

Anyway... were supposed to get a TON of snow here in the next few days. It looks like ccuweather is saying 3-6 inches by Wednesday night but I've heard reports all over the place - even up to a foot! As Chris sayd every time I ask how much snow we're getting - "I'll tell you Thursday".

Have a great day!
