1. I absolutely HATE Peanut Butter...I can not even stand the smell of it!
2. I am a terrible insomniac. I can be exhausted all day but once 10pm hits I am wide awake and am often found awake at 5:00 AM. It is horrible!
3. My back is feeling better today...finally
4.I have a hard time with decisions. I am afraid of making the wrong one so I am constantly over analyzing EVERYTHING.
5. If I was stranded on an island and had one book to take with me it would be (besides the Bible) "I know this much is True" by Wally Lamb. It is an awesome book and has so many layers. Not my usual type of book but it is so so good!
6. I am VERY IMPATIENT! I Hate waiting more then anything, which is difficult with infertility since it is all you do. I have not gotten better at it.
7. If I won the lotto my first purchase would be IVF. Literally I believe I would be at th RE's office the day after I won.

My Sisters in IF!

Sunny at Secrets of an Infertile Mom has nominated me for the Sisterhood Award! Thank you! You are always so good to me!

Infertility is definitely a sisterhood. One I wish I did not have to be a part of or one I wish none of you had to be a part of but it is definitely a sisterhood. I am thankful everyday that I have found all of you because you have helped me get through some tough days and when things go well you are there to celebrate with me...after all that is what sisterhood is all about. Maybe IRL people would not understand but you all mean so much to me and I can't imagine what I would do without you! Thank you all!

The guidelines for this award are:

1. Put the logo on your blog or post.

2. Nominate at least 10 blogs with great attitude and/or gratitude. Be sure to link to your nominees in your post.

3. Let your nominees know they have received the award by leaving them a comment on their blog.

4. Be sure to link this post to the person who nominated you for the award.

With honor I nominate:

1.Stacey at I am Stacey's blog. She is going through her first round of injections and always has a positive attitude. Go over and giver some support.

2. Dana at One Step at a Time. She recently went through a loss and has come out stronger and more centered with God and I admire that!

3. Stop the Train...I Wanna get off
This is her public blog. She does have a private one that you can ask to be a part of . She is going through a really hard time...not fertility related at the time but she could really use all your love and support!

4. Bottoms off and on the Table she is always making me smile with her humor. She just went through a positive then a negative right away and that just sucks. Head on over and send some hugs her way!

5. Conceive This is another one that is constantly making me laugh! I love her blog and think she deserves nothing but the best on her journey. Her first IVF did not work but I am hoping that the FET is her ticket to her dreams!

6. A Memory in my Heart lost her baby Isabella and lost Sean. She is a strong woman who keeps going no matter what! I really hope it happens for her soon!

7. An Unwanted Path always seems to know how to put into words exactly what is in my head. She says it beautifully!

8. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Pampers. She is such a strong amazing woman. She recently lost her triplets and I can not even imagine how hard that was. I wish her all the happiness soon and hope her move goes well. Go over and wish her well too!

9. So It Goes. She is remembering a sad anniversary today. She got some answers from the doc the other day but not necessarily something you want to hear. I hope things work out now that they have some answers!

10. Anyone else. You are all my sisters and deserve all your dreams to come true! am sorry for any of your losses and cheer for all your successes. Hope fully we all one day can e part of the mommy sisterhood!

The Speak Up and Speak Out Award

I have been nominated by the wonderful Jamied. Thank you. I decided a long time ago after trying for a couple years that I would not suffer in silence. I was going to let people know how much IF SUCKS!!!! I was sick of feeling alone and I think people need to be educated. We are not alone and that is one thing I have learned especially since starting my blog. I am sad and angry that so many have to be a part of this "club" but I am glad that all of you beautiful people are out there and I thank you for your support.

Read the full post here .
I am going to list a few of my favorite criteria here for being an angry infertile.
-If you talk in TTC acronyms nobody except people on the internet understand
-If you know what a cootercam is
- If you have ever heard "just relax" or "it's not your time" or "it's God's will"
- If you've ever told anyone you are infertile and they're response was, "That sucks. I'm super fertile! I can have all the kids I want!"

Check out the rest of the post for the entire list. It's sad that I can relate to every one of them.
Rules for posting award:

1. Link back to this post so that others will read the original story behind the award
2. Nominate 4 others who have not been "silent about their infertility"
3. Enjoy speaking out and speaking up :D

I nominate:
