More waiting...

If nothing else, the Lord is teaching me patience. I swear I have not been praying for it! If anyone out there has been praying for patience for me, please stop! =)

So, I had to wait until my period started to figure out when to take the clomid. Well, period started Saturday. You would think that would be a good thing. Weeeeeeeeeeell...you have to start taking the clomid on day 5 of your cycle. So, starting Saturday, that means I have to start taking it Wednesday. Well, just to be sure we're not missing any steps, hubby needed to get checked. We got the information in the mail on Thursday, he called them on Friday to make the appointment for Monday (today). It takes 3-5 days to get the results back. Both Josh and I have spoken to both locations to see if there was anyway to "Rush order" the results. Of course, that was a no go. So...if we're lucky, we will get the results back on Wednesday. Josh has pointed out, several times, that nothing comes easily for Wisby's. Well, since I am now a Wisby, I suspect that the results will come in to us on Thursday! Which is one day too late! That means we have to wait until next month to start. I know, I shouldn't be in such a rush, and should be patient. But dog gone it!! I've been waiting for this step for quite some time.

Apparently PCOS is hereditary, or can be. Well, my mom had it and now, so do I. My mom had me just fine, but she had to take clomid to get my brother. I am hopeful the clomid will work and am ready to take it! Just have to wait and see I suppose!

I'll let you know when the results come in!

Who knew...

Who knew getting pregnant could be so hard?? There is potential that I could be in trouble for writing this. I am not an extremely private person. My husband on the otherhand, would prefer to keep things quiet. But i feel that if I can talk about things that maybe someone else has experience with, then they may have some insight on different matters. So let's begin...

Josh and I have been trying to have a baby. I guess you could say we've been trying since May of 2009. But the doctor finally started doing something this past February. I had a bunch of tests done, and lots of blood drawn! Blah! *Reminder to self: Always lie down when having blood drawn* The results came back that I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Basically, that means that instead of my ovaries releasing the egg, it stays there and becomes a cyst (At least that's my understanding). So we had to take steps to combat that.

The 1st step was to start taking a medication that will start getting rid of those cysts. We've been on that medicine for 3 months. We just went back to the doctor to talk about the next steps. The next step is to start taking a medication called Clomid. Basically that is supposed to make me ovulate. So, we're just waiting to get that started. Hopefully we can start that sooner rather than later. I guess we shall see. And hopefully that'll work!

I'll keep you posted!

Since I've been married...

• I'm not sure I've had a full, good night's sleep (Will I ever or does that only get worse when kids get involved?)
• I've gained way too much weight!
• I've realized how anal I truly am
• I realize now, more than ever, how important it is to rinse dishes if you don't wash them right away
• I've discovered that boys are gross (Even though I really love him)
• I know the buttons to push and not to push...and sometimes I push the ones I shouldn't, just because :)
• I've never felt more secure and confident (Mr. Wisby is there even if I screw up)

We've been married nearly 2 years and I LOVE IT!! I couldn't have asked for a better partner in all things! I am very blessed that the Lord picked him to be mine and me his! I sure do love my husband! I can't wait to see what the future brings!

*Side Bar* Hubs would just roll his eyes if he saw this. He usually does after asking what I'm blogging about :)

More SYTYCD

Did I mention that I love SYTYCD?!?! I didn't get to see everything tonight but these dancers are so good!! So far my absolute favorite is Kent Boyd. Every time he performs, talks, whatever I am smiling and laughing the whole time! He is just so much fun to watch!

On tonight's show, I really liked Jose Ruiz's performance. He had that same spark this performance that Kent had! It made me smile the whole time! That's why the judges love him.

Goodness...I was going to start to say who else I liked, but there isn't really anyone I don't like! I just really enjoy watching these people dance! They are so exciting!

I did feel a little bad for Travis, one of the choreographers. He was supposed to create a jazz routine, but it wound up being more of a contemporary one. Nigel made sure he knew that. I thought that was interesting, but pretty much agreed.

I AM one of those people...

So, today I realized that I AM one of THOSE people!

I am one of those people who...

• Puts the juice I didn't drink back in the pitcher (Did that for the 1st time tonight)
• Gets emotional when I see people who remind me of my loved ones
• Yells at people in the car
• Gets really motivated to do something good for myself and then gets sidetracked
• Hates to shop, but loves new things
• Wants to be creative, but has very little artistic ability
• Finally realizes that all the things my mom told me while in High School and College were mostly right
• Loves the summer, but hates to sweat

These are just a few of the things I have realized recently!

Today's Conversation

So here was a very recent conversation I had with my manager:

I had to prepare a flyer for an event happening on campus. I completed it and sent it over to her for review. After approving it, she asked me to print 125 color copies (I knew this wouldn't fly with the IT guy). I had to go find the IT guy to see what lab to use and what the log in information was. Upon doing so, he asked what I was printing and I told him flyers. He asked how many and I told him I could not disclose that information, knowing good and well that he would not approve. He told me I needed to go to Kinkos to do it because the printers in the labs were for the students and when we use them for that, that puts more wear and tear on the printers. So I go back to my manager and let her know, upon which she says, "We don't have time to go to Kinkos", and "What are those printers for." I then said they were for the students. To which she tried to call the IT guy and I told her he was not in his office and he was roaming the hall. She got up from her desk and stomped out saying, "I don't have time for this. You need to push back, Jen!" She went and talked to the IT guy. She came back and I asked her what the outcome was and if I needed to go print them. She said, "IT guy said he would do it."

I wish I could express attitude in this because there was big time attitude!!

My heart was beating after that conversation! I was so mad!! It may sound petty, but if you could only hear the conversation...

Dear Baby Wisby (To be conceived)

Dear Baby Wisby,

I just want to write a little note to let you know how much everyone wants to meet you. Your daddy and I are particularly excited to meet you one day. I just wanted to write this to let you know that there are a lot of people praying for your arival. So just know that you are very much wanted and we can't wait to meet you! Until you get here, we'll just keep practicing with our Goddaughters!

Love,

Mama

The weekend is here!!

I am so happy it's the weekend! I feel like I need a vacation in order to refresh. I won't be getting one for a while, so I will need to figure something else out.

So...boys are funny. I'm sure many of you know this already. I just asked my hubby when he last washed a load of jeans (mind you he wears jeans daily and only has 4 pair). He hasn't done a load of jeans in about 4 weeks. He does, however, put them in the dryer with a Downey sheet. I think he forgets he is no longer a bachelor :) That's ok, I still love him...dirty jeans and all.

We are heading home for a wedding this weekend. My cousin, Chad, is getting married to his sweetheart! Yay! I am excited to spend time with my family...especially Mom, Jessica, Lindsey and Camryn!!

SYTYCD

I love love LOVE So You Think You Can Dance!!!!

Mia Michaels and Sonya Tayeh are my absolute favorite choregraphers. Although, from watching this evening, I really think I'm going to like Travis Wall. Travis was one of my favorite dances also. I'm not so sure how I'm going to like this season though. They've done it a little differently than previous seasons. This year they are paired with former season dancers. From this evening, it was difficult to see the new dancers dancing. It was hard to tell who was new and who was a veteran.

Fantastic Video

I am in love with this video! It gives me goosebumps and makes me want to cry!

Thanks Amy for posting it on your blog!

I wish I could figure a few things out with this blog though. Like how to make the video link just a name. And how to tag Amy's blog in this blog, where I write her name...I'm open for a little help :)

Wedding Stuff...

Ok, so I am addicted to wedding stuff! I think I always have been a little bit, but I'm a little obsessed. Not that I buy it or anything, but I truly enjoy looking at people's wedding pictures. All brides are soooo pretty! It's fun to look at and see all the ideas that people have. And I love love love wedding dresses! Funny thing, I only tried on 1 wedding dress and that's the one I wore for my wedding! It probably was the best idea though, because if I tried on too many I really wouldn't know which to pick.

I also love "Say Yes to the Dress". Josh get so aggravated that I still watch it. He tells me that our wedding is over and doesn't understand why I'm still addicted. I can't explain it. It's just fun to see the girls find "THE" dress!

Speaking of weddings, my cousin Chad is getting married on Saturday! I'm so excited for them!

2 in 2 days!

Holy cow! I'm posting again.

So I've discovered that the side mirror on the car is not the most flattering mirror. Go figure! When Josh and I go for drives, I'm definitely looking in it too much. And usually I can see my frown lines, laugh lines and "surprised" lines. The other day I looked over at Josh and there's nothing. No lines. I asked why he had no wrinkles and he said it was because he doesn't frown as much as me! Now, that may be true; however, he didn't have any laugh lines or "surprised" lines either! Come on now, no lines anywhere? Fine, you just keep your perfect skin buddy! I mean, I get to look at it every day so I should stop complaining. I don't see my lines as much as he sees my lines. I think I just added a few more smile lines :)

Today is an absolutely beautiful day! I am ready to play outside! Soon, I hope.

Now, onto what a student did...I sent out a job lead and told a little about the position in the email. I said, "If you're interested, please reply and attach your resume". People have finally started to grasp that concept! Well, I get a call from the employer, after sending about 5 resumes to him. He asked if I was sending people who had expressed interest or just people who might match the position. For this particular one, I was only sending people who had expressed interest. He said that he called one of the guys and the guy acted as if he knew nothing about it. He didn't know what the employer was talking about and I guess made it sound like he didn't know he had applied. Regardless...if an employer is coming up to you to talk to you about a position in your field, do you really want to tell him you have no idea what he's talking about? You've received plenty of emails/job leads from me, so why wouldn't you just start talking to him about it instead of acting like you know nothing about it. Oh well, apparently you didn't want the take advantage of that opportunity!

Senseless Ramblings

I'm ready for a house. The condo is nice, but I'd really like to have a yard, a porch, some place to sit outside and relax in the sun. We drive around and see these beautiful places. I'm just ready to go and be in a place of our own. "In due time", says the hubby. :)

We spent a fantastic day with Camryn and Jessica yesterday. It was fun to watch Camryn play in the pool for the 1st time. She's so stinkin cute!! It was good to see them. I'm glad I got to hang out with Jessica too! I wish we lived closer so that we could hang out like we did before. Family living far away is tough. I know they're not crazy far away, at least not all of them. But if they were closer we wouldn't have to be gone all of the time! It's really nice to be home on the weekends, but I feel like we don't do anything when we are. Which is understandable since we are gone so much. I want to do things, but I also want to relax. But relaxing consists of me staying inside all day, due to my lack of motivation...and then I get bummed because I wasted the weekend. Seems like a never ending cycle. AND I wind up getting a headache from sitting in front of the computer and TV all day. Too much complaining!

Also, I feel stuck. Stuck in one spot right now. I remember having this feeling before. I think it was after I graduated from Purdue. I did what I was supposed to do, go to school, get a good job and make lots of money...or at least some money. Then I was stuck after that, I didn't know what to do next. Finidng the right guy was high on my list and that eventually came. That's perfect. I feel like I'm in a funk though. Get up, go to work, come home, eat, watch TV, go to bed and repeat. Now I'm ready for the next step, but that step isn't coming so easily. We'll just keep trying. I sometimes wonder how I'll handle that next step anyway. I mean, I am definitely ready and have been for a long time. I just hope I'm good at it and not lazy about it. I want to do fun stuff. I want to be a fun mom. Maybe that's why I haven't been given the opportunity yet...I need to get out of my funk 1st. I need to stop moping and do something about it. Definitely need to work on that.

Maybe I need a hobby.
