Adventures with Ms. J: Children's Museum..

I'm back! I just have to show y'all how much fun Ms. J had at the Children's Museum today for Wee Wednesdays. I really like the program and Ms. J loves to play, dance and do the art and crafts. I'm working on her sitting for story time but she is still young and a busy body! I just figured it would be a great way for her to interact with other children and learn to share! Plus, we can possibly meet a new friend!

Wednesday Mani..Sparkling Raspberry Sorbet

What's up!! It's Wednesday so you already know what that means..time for a new mani! The polish I used this weekend was given to me during a secret Santa exchange last year but this is my first time using it. I'm in love with this beautiful wine color!

Elf Raspberry Sorbet

Isn't it lovely??! I even added W&W Sparkle for a little bling. I'm upset i didn't try this polish sooner. Luckily my gift came with 12 mini polishes which I can't wait to try!!

So be on the look out ... ;-)..

TTC Update...

Figured I'll give a quick update about whats been going on with TTC #2. Well I had a couple doctor appointments last week to check my beta (pregnancy hormone) levels and I'll get the results Tuesday..My period was scheduled to come on last week but she was a no show. I will confess that I am really hoping that I'm pregnant again...

We weren't as cautious after the miscarriage so anything is possible right???

Anyway that's about it....I'll update you if we get any good news!!

Wednesday Mani..Mint Apple

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was very relaxing which was a nice change. Over the weekend I brought a couple new polishes because I noticed that my collection has a lot of "fall" colors. I found a nice mint green for this weeks manicure and here it is..

Sinful Colors Mint Apple

I still don't know how I feel about this color on me. It is really pretty color. I guess I have to see if it grows on me.. What do you think?

Wednesday Manicure: OTD top coat

A couple weeks ago I purchased a new fast dry top coat from CVS named Out the Door and OMG. This top coat has to be the best one I have tried. Not only do I like the way it dries my nail quickly but my manicures are lasting longer then 2 days, Yay! Anyway, this weeks manicure features a beautiful mauve color that I think could be worn throughout the year.

Wet&Wild Bite the Bullet

                         
I have quiet few Wet & Wild megalast polishes in my collection and I'm always impressed with them. I only had to apply two coats to achieve this look and the new wider brush made for a smooth application.

Have you tried the Wet &Wild megalast line? If so, what do you think about the new wider brush?

Til next time!!..

Ready to try again..

So just a little TTC update. My husband and I have decided to immediately start trying for our rainbow baby. I know, its hasn't been a month since the miscarriage but I feel emotionally at peace.

I had a doctors appointment 2 weeks ago and he gave us the green light to try again once my period returns. So now we wait! My doctor feels confident that we will conceive again quickly. I sure am praying it does but if it takes longer then 4 cycles he wants me to set up a fertility appointment for testing.

Why start fertility test??

Well I only have one ovary and it took us 2 yrs, many doctor appointments/tests and fertility drugs before I conceived my daughter.

So, I've been preparing my body for my second miracle baby, (Yes, I'm speaking it into existence!) by continuing my prenatals w/added folic acid/DHA. I've also cut down on my caffeine and alcohol intake.

I plan to document this journey and hopefully this will turn into pregnancy updates!!

That's all for now!!

Bereaved Mother's Day

Do you know what today is??

 For many today is known as Bereaved Mother's Day in honor of women who have loss a child(ren).

Dealing with the death of a child is hard and sadly many women are overlooked on Mother's Day because they don't have a living child. Thankfully this day was created for mothers who keep their children in their hearts.

Happy Mother's Day to any mother who is going through this emotional journey of loss and infertility.
