Ugh.

Again, more people pregnant before me. People who haven't been married nearly as long as I have been. Some, not even married as long as we've been trying. I will never understand people who get pregnant on purpose the first year they're married. The first year of marriage was so hard, I can't imagine throwing a child into that.

I ovulated this week, so fingers crossed, prayers going up. I wish there was some way to know for sure the second you get pregnant. Like your lady parts have a clear cover on them so you can see what's going on. HA! That's gross. But it would be very helpful. OR, I wish I was friends with a lady doctor who would run tests on me for free. That's more realistically helpful.

We're waiting on some bad storms here tonight. It's been really windy all day and the storms are supposed to get bad after midnight. Ugh. Pippin will be sleeping in his Thunder Shirt tonight. I might also have to leave the bathroom door open with the blankets in the bathtub for him. I don't mind the storms. After last summer, we need the rain and I will never complain about rain ever again. But I wish it didn't have to happen in the middle of the night. He pants too badly to let him sleep in the bed with us, which is what he wants to do. Supposedly, if we keep using the Thunder Shirt, it should help more and more each time. Even so, I may give him some Benedryl before we go to bed. I hate doing that, but sometimes it's the only thing that helps.

Speaking of bad storms, a tornado just almost hit my cousins house. Her husband is deployed and she has two small children. Thankfully, she has a basement and her in-laws are close by, but it got way too close to her. The Weather Channel wouldn't give us any details but at one point they said it hit the Air Force Base, which they live very close to since her husband is stationed at the base. Her house is still standing and they're okay, but at the moment they're without power.

I think that's all I have for tonight. I gotta take the boys out front to potty one last time before this storm hits. UGH.
