Valentine's and Orange Juice

First of all, I want to thank all of you who commented on my last two posts.  It really means a lot to me to hear from you girls that are reading my blog.  I love y'all!!!


Hope everyone is having a great weekend.  I know I have because it has been 60 degrees and sunny here and that always helps.
I have had to work all weekend but the guy we just hired took my night time call last night and tonight....I really heart him!  It is pretty super working with a guy (hard to find a male in my field) that just got out of school and is totally gung-ho about taking call as much as possible so he can save money.  That ship has totally sailed for me.  I want to work my hours and then be done.  I would be ok not taking any call but I don’t have that option where I work.  I am on call every 7th weekend and every other Thursday, which I know is not bad AT ALL (compared to what I did when I was full time), but I despise call.  Getting out of bed and driving to the hospital multiple times a night gets old really fast.  Not to mention it is usually to scan a pregnant girl, who is 17, has a baby with her, and reeks of cigarettes.  This is not good for an infertile girl......I have had to bite my tongue many times and I have also cried on the way home multiple times.  Seriously, there are so many stories.  Sometimes my profession is absolute torture....but I do love it most of the time! 
Sooooo.....tomorrow is Valentine’s Day.  We don’t have big plans at all.  I think we are going to go out to dinner because, honestly, I don’t want to clean the kitchen.  I mean....I like it when we cook together but we don’t clean together and this girl is tired.  I am not a big fan of going out to dinner on Valentine’s because of the crowds and the prix fixe menus but I think I’ll make an exception this time!  Last Valentine’s Day my honey cooked me an awesome meal and we drank lots of wine....


Rigatoni pasta with sausage and peppers
Terrible picture but here we are!  I look like I have been crying and probably was.  This was just after our first IUI had failed and I had been convinced it had worked :(
So we drank tons of this!


The year before that (2009) I was really into making cakes (which I want to get back into) so I made him a cake.  It was presh....


Cake next to the pink roses he got me


All I really want to do this Valentine's Day is hang out with my honey.  He has been so busy at work and I have been so flippin' crazy through all this IVF stuff so we haven't really gotten to spend quality time together.  I want to go out and eat yummy dinner, come home and watch a movie while we snuggle on the couch with our sweet baby(ies).  This sounds ahhh-mazing to me!  


Speaking of baby(ies).....this is what is sitting next to me as I type this....




This stuff is my best friend.  I can not get enough!  It's not a craving but I am just so thirsty all the time and water is getting old.  I have never been a huge fan of OJ but it looked yums at the store so I made the purchase.  Pumped that I did because it is rocking my world!  Oh and I don't have a glass next to me....I have the whole container :)


Hope y'all have a great day tomorrow with your sweeties!!

  1. I am not an orange juice girl either, but I have been drinking Simply Orange like crazy since we've been pregnant. It's just so refreshing.

  5. Oh my! I'm going to have to try Simply Lemonade!

    I am a sonographer, which is a fancy way of saying I do ultrasounds. I work at a hospital so I do all types: kidneys, liver, early and late pregnancy, arteries, veins....pretty much everything!

    No the recipe isn't from Kraft although I'm sure they have one similar. We ate at a restaurant in DC and had something similar so my husband tried to recreate it. He's awesome in the kitchen like that.....I have to follow a recipe!!

    And thanks for the compliments on the cake!
