St. Louis
Unfortunately, Rosie & Jeff were unable to make it to St. Louis so Cyndie went with us instead. We had a radtastic good time and took a lot of silly pictures!
"Come be refreshed" at the City Museum!
"Come be refreshed" at the City Museum!
I'm at a loss on this one...
Har har! big underwear!!
Big Empty Room? check! we MUST dance!
Mark defaces the wall of ...defacement?
Cyndie impersonates an old woman with her pocketbook, going down a slide. lol.
Mark had to lift me up for this, and I almost pulled the panther down with us. we're smart!
Mark was very hungry at this point...
Gaze upon the awesomeness of walrus mosiac!
Phoebe likes shiny reflective surfaces...alot.
Turtle Pile!
The Arch
That's just soda right Cyndie?
This is what mark thinks of St.Louis's local microbrew. KC's Boulevard RULEZ!
View from our hotel room, pretty awesome!

Baby Talk
After giving nature a year to do it's thing, I finally realized that it wasn't going to happen as "naturally" as I hoped. I was really frustrated with my doctor as well, who was about as communicative as a rock.
I started the fertility drug Clomid last month, and then switched to a new doctor who is pretty awesome so far. We're basically starting from scratch I guess though, which flustered me a little considering I've gone through acupuncture, Chinese herbs, herbal supplements, 3 different ultrasounds, an endometrial biopsy, countless blood work, and months and months of taking my temp. every fracking day and charting everything my body does.
So, on to the next phase I guess. NewDoctor is on a mission. new tests, more procedures, blah blah blah. Thursday I go in for a "HSG" in which they shoot dye into my tubes and x-ray them. Thank god our insurance covers at least all the diagnostic stuff. I'm trying not to worry about the other stuff NewDoctor was wanting to do that insurance doesn't cover. I'm hoping to hold off on the more aggressive options as long as I can, but they only let you take the drugs for so long before they start in with the AI and in-vitro. NewDoctor was pretty confident that she could get it done with at least just a couple of rounds of the AI, but I guess we'll wait and see. And that's the most aggravating part, waiting to see what happens. I'm a basket case! but that's really nothing new though is it? lol. :D
We're going to try to keep busy and hopefully distract ourselves a little, going to St. Louis this weekend for our 5 year wedding anniversary and to hang out with my sister Rosebud and her husband Jeff. I'm pretty psyched!

Vamos!
My temp nanny gig finished up on Friday, a few weeks early. It was fun and I was sad to leave since I was just getting in the swing of things with a two year old. I still have the songs from "Dora the Explorer" and "Go Diego Go" in my head. lol. I learned some Baby Sign language too!
Anyway, I'm taking the week for projects around the house and running errands and such. After that, I still have over a month to kill with temp jobs. bleh. :(
I started the weekend by painting the kitchen walls (the last room in the house to paint! yay!) and now I'm working on all the cabinets and trim. I'll definitely post some before and after pics when I'm done, just to proclaim my supreme awesomeness. :D
Actually, the supreme awesomeness award goes to Mark, who has now lost a whopping 40 pounds!!! He switched from running to the elliptical machine because of knee problems and he's up to like 7 miles a day or something crazy like that. He is pretty amazing.
Oh ya, and Mark's 32nd birthday week officially starts this Friday and runs through the following Sunday. The 5th is his big day, just FYI! Yes, around the Tooley house, we do a WHOLE WEEK. It's really the only way we can sufficiently celebrate each other's existence, because we are pretty much redonkulously in looooooove. :)

Family Reunion 2007 - Pittsburgh, PA
We had a super radtastic time in Pittsburgh :) It was an awesomely successful family reunion in my opinion, and I can't wait for all of us to get together again. I feel pretty blessed.
I didn't take a whole lot of pictures since I felt like I was in a dream pretty much the whole time. I wish now that I would have snapped some of Jana cutting Mark's hair in her kitchen, and of Sugar the itsy bitsy pup, who I wanted to stuff in my bag and run away with. but anyway, here are the pics I did manage to get. enjoy. :)
