So, this week my sister is moving out She and her husband started renting out our downstairs (walk out basement) in March of 2006. They have their own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom so it is pretty self sufficient. She just shares my microwave. Anyway, they decided to move back to AZ. I am happy but sad too. I am happy that we'll get to be a family by ourselves (Travis, Naden and myself), just us! My sister moved in a month before Naden was born and she had a baby too in April. So that is one thing I am sad about. Her daughter Lilianna and Naden are 3 days apart in age. They love each other. They play together and really help with motivating each other in speaking or eating or whatever developmental stuff comes along. They are going to miss each other soooo much. Plus I work from home and I have meetings throughout the day. I typically just drop Naden off downstairs when I get a phone call or have a meeting and my sister watches him for me. We also take turns with the kiddos when we need to clean up our areas. I don't know how I can continue to work when Naden is being noisy in the background. I guess I'll figure it out, it just makes it a lot harder. If I had my choice, they would stay but my husband wants them to go so we can be just us for a while. He and my BIL don't get along well (they used to but they got into an arguement over something stupid... I think over the spanish population in CO *rolls eyes*) so he is ready for BIL to get out. Which makes me sad because I wonder since they now don't get along if I will ever get to visit my sister again or if she will visit. I mean, I know we will but I suspect that when the visits occur that the husbands will choose not to come along. Hopefully with time they will both grow up and get over themselves. So anyway, I am having mixed emotions because she will leave on Saturday and I really don't have anyone else in Colorado that can depend on besides her. I will be all alone during the day I won't have anyone to watch Naden when I have a doctors appointment. Oh well. I am crying just thinking about it but I do know that it is for the best for all of us. Just sad at the same time too.

So that leads me to my next exciting news Since Stacy is leaving this week I figured I would get in an appointment for accupucture before she is gone. I've never done it before but I am so excited! The accupucturist is also an herbalist so hopefully I can snag some more of his time and get his thoughts on what herbs to take in which part of my cycle. So, tonight I must shave my legs since he probably won't want to get pricked

You'll have to let me know what he thinks you should do as far as taking herbs, I would love to know. Even though I think I'm going to take a break from things I wouldn't mind getting started on balancing my body so that TTC might come easier when I'm ready. GL

As for your sister leaving, I'm sorry. Hubby's can be so difficult when it comes to family sometimes. My Dh can be the same way. I hope things work out and you get to visit your sister often.

I will def let you know. I set the appt for just the accupuncture but I am hoping I can pay for a little more time to get some herbal advice because I really need it!

Danica! Sorry your sister is leaving. I just got my sister back in the area after she was in the military and gone for around 12 years. We are spending soooo much time together and having such a great time that I can't imagine her leaving again. I hope you are able to work things out with taking care of Naden and working.

And good luck with the acupuncture! I look foward to hearing how your appt goes and what he has to say!

I envy your sister time. My siblings are 6 yrs older (brother) than me or 7yrs younger (half sister) than me. We didn't grow up together and we all live in different states. I recently met up with my sister so I could meet my niece this past summer. It was awesome. We make better effort to keep in touch, but that means like maybe a call once every 2-3 months. It's better than 2-3 yrs. We do email some too. We are trying to get pregnant together.

Acupuncture..... I think you will like it. I go again on wed.
