It has been a quiet transition into this new year. Christmas came and went along with another year. What a fun filled year 2007 has been for our family. Vacations, cruises, and of course our wedding!
As we enter into this new year more changes are coming whether we are ready for them or not. Jose will be graduating High School this May and Christopher will turn 15 in a couple of months. The boys have changed so much. Chris is getting tall and thin. His schoulders are squaring off and he has lost any baby fat he ever had. He is even shaving his moustache! Jose is ready to take on a new adventure attending Greenville Tech in the fall. He's thinking of a medical profession of some sort. We're so proud of him. Rumor has it...again this is rumor, he might want to move in with Jorge and I. His mom and David may be moving towards the Gaffney/Boiling Springs area and that would be too far for Jose to drive everyday to Greenville Tech. Jorge isn't pushing Jose or even mentioned it to him, but Kathi mentioned it to Jorge the other day. We would be very happy if that happened! We miss him.
Jorge and I are still trying to conceive but at this point, have just left it up to God to bless us when he's ready. I got a little crazy wearing the OV Watch which tells you when you should ovulate and conceive. I would wear this at night as I slept and each morning, Jorge would ask, "What's the watch say?" It will say DAY 1 Fertile, if I am! In any case I also am taking Clomid, 100mg, prescribed by my doctor and peeing on a stick to see if I'm ovulating. All of this clinical and scientific sheduling is taking all the fun out of it...sooooo....I'm just going to relax! That's what eveyone keeps telling me. So for all of you who have told me to relax, I'm taking that advice. Just keep in mind...it's not easy!
Jorge and I have committed to going to the gym at least 4x per week. We haven't actually gone to the gym, but we're committed to going. Baby Steps! Baby Steps! All kidding aside, come hell or high water...we're going tonight! I've also been thinking that if I can lose 10 pounds, it might help us get pregnant sooner! Again...I know...Relax!
Jewel, Ellie and Gracie are all fine. We hope all of you have a wonderful and peaceful 2008. Keep in touch and I'll update more often.
Love to you all...
