I just got a positive OPK (ovulation predictor kit)!!! That means that I should ovulate in the next day or two! Yahoo!! I haven't ovulated for the past 2 cycles, and was starting to give up on ovulating on my own. Maybe we still have hope of conceiving a child on our own?! Please pray that I actually ovulate, and get pregnant this cycle, then I can go to the doctor on February 5th to confirm a pregnancy, instead of getting a script for Clomid!
Can you guess what Gairod and I will be doing for New Years tonight!?!?!

New Years Eve and Resolutions!
Well, here we are, December 31st, 2008!
I've never really been a big fan of New Years, it's always seemed kind of dumb to me! Anyways, tonight we are going to order pizza for dinner, rent a couple of movies, and eat some treats! (since it is my last night until I start my diet!) Not very exciting, but it is exactly what I want to do! I am beyond the days of partying until the wee hours of the morning. I don't have many friends anyway, and it's almost impossible to get a babysitter, so I would much rather say home, and go to bed early!
Tomorrow I will be starting on my Resolutions. If you don't know what I am talking about, read my post titled "Time to make some resolutions" (sorry, I don't know how to link!) I am excited to get started!
In 2009, I want to: Lose some weight, get pregnant, keep a cleaner, more organized, clutter-free home, and be a happier/nicer wife! That seems like a lot, but I think I can do it!
Happy New Years!!

Backyardigan Bedding!
Today I finally got the Backyardigan bedding in the mail! YAY! I ordered it at the end of November, it was supposed to be part of the triplets' Christmas present, but the company I ordered from put an incomplete shipping address on it, so it got lost at Canada customs, and sent back. Anyways, it is here now, better late than never!

Crayons and Paper
I am embarrassed to admit this, but today was the first time the triplets have ever colored!! They are almost 22 months old! That is sad. Jade started coloring long before they did, probably right around one year. I have done many things later with the triplets then I did with Jade, simply because it is a lot harder doing things with three babies or toddlers then it is with one! The next thing I need to start working on with them is using real cups. No, they have never actually tried a real cup, just sippy cups.
Anyways, here are some pictures of their first coloring experience, and their finished pictures!

My New Camera!
Today we took my new camera back, and got a different one! I really liked the one Gairod got me, (it was a cool purple color!) but from the time you took a picture to the time you could take another picture was like a 4 second delay - WAY to long!! I mostly take pictures of running toddlers, so I need my camera to be quick! lol! So we exchanged it for the same kind, (Canon Power Shot) just different model. (and sadly, not purple). I actually like this one even better! I can do that cool thing where most of the picture is black and white, except for an accent color! I can't wait to try it out on the kids!!

He Agreed!!!!!
Gairod and I were talking today, and he agreed we can try the lowest dose of Clomid!!! I am soooo happy!! I don't know if it will work or not, when we got pregnant with the triplets we were on the next dose up, but we agreed we will try the lowest dose, and then if that doesn't work, we will just continue to try on our own. Now I can't wait for my doctor appointment in February!!!
Merry Christmas :)
Well, as my mom always says, "It's all over but the crying!" I don't really know what that means, but Christmas is over!
We had a very busy day yesterday, but the kids all handled it pretty well! We got up at 7:30am, actually Gairod and I woke up then, and decided we better wake the kids up, so that we could get on with things! So we did our stockings and presents, the triplets LOVED ripping open all the presents, even ones that weren't for them! LOL! I got spoiled!! Gairod and I weren't supposed to be getting anything for each other, because we just got a new TV, and new bedding, and we had agreed that that would be our Christmas presents. Well, Gairod got me a new camera, a spa package, and a new washer and dryer!!! The washer and dryer aren't actually here yet, they aren't in until the 11th, but he wrapped up a picture of them for me! I couldn't believe how much he spent on me! He said I deserved it for all the hard work I do with the kids and around the house. He said he really does appreciate everything I do, even if I don't always think he shows it. I was so touched when he said that, it's nice to know that he actually does care!
After we finished with presents, Gairod fed the kids, and I hopped in the shower. We got the kids dressed, and then we had to wait for Gairod's brother to come over and help Gairod load the snow blower he got for his dad, into his truck. So while we waited Gairod put together the climber/slide that the triplets got from Santa. They loved it, and played on it for an hour straight, until we were finally ready to go to Gairod's parents house!
So we went to Gairod's parents house at about 10am. We opened presents there, and the kids snacked on veggies! Then at about 12:30pm, we went into my parents house. The triplets fell asleep on the way in, but it is only a 15 minute drive, so not really enough time for a nap. At my parents we opened presents (by this time the triplets were DONE with opening presents, so we had to open them for them!) and we all snacked! We also had cake for my sister's birthday.
At about 3:00pm, we left my parents house, and headed back to Gairod's parents house for Christmas dinner. We ate nice and early, around 5:00pm, and by around 7:00pm, we were all exhausted and ready to head home! The kids did great considering they really didn't nap, and had such a busy day!
Oh, I forgot to mention the fact that I woke up Christmas morning with pink eye! Nice eh? I don't know what the heck is wrong with me, I have gotten pink eye more times in the last few year then I ever have in my life! Often when I have a cold I tend to get it as a secondary infection! It's such a pain, because it is highly contagious! And with it being Christmas, I won't be able to get into the doctor until Monday!
Anyways, besides that, everything was good!

Christmas Eve!
Well, it's actually here! Christmas Eve!! I honestly can not believe how fast Christmas came this year. It seems like Halloween just ended! I am excited for Christmas to be here, but also a little sad, because almost as soon as it's here, it's over!
Anyways, we have my family - mom and dad, sister, brother and girlfriend, and Gairod's parents, coming over this evening. We are going to do an appetizer dinner, we started this tradition a few years ago. We don't have a real sit down meal, just a bunch of appetizer type things! It's fun and casual. We might play some Wii, and just relax and visit all evening! It's nice having it at our house, because that way we can get the kids all in bed at a decent time, and still enjoy the rest of our evening! Then I will go to midnight mass with my mom and probably sister. When I get home we'll put the presents under the tree and go to bed!
Tomorrow we will get up, do stockings and open presents. Then we will feed the kids, get showered and dressed, get the kids dressed, and head over to Gairod's parents house. We will open presents there, and then head into my parents house. We will probably eat lunch at my parents, open presents, visit for a bit, and then head back to Gairod's parents for Christmas dinner!
Tonight will be a late night, and tomorrow will be a long day, but I am so excited that Christmas is here!
Have a Merry Christmas everyone!!

Picture with Santa!
I usually go earlier, but this year I waited until the last minute to get the kids picture with Santa. Partly because it was harder with Jade in school, and she wasn't with us at the mall all the time, and partly because I kept thinking "Oh, we have lots of time!"
So we went today, December 22nd. Bad time to go. We had to wait for an hour and a half, in a crowded, busy, mall, with three toddlers. Not fun.
But we got the picture, and it actually turned out pretty good! A lot of toddlers are afraid of Santa, but not mine! They walked right up to him, gave him "five", and hoped up on his lap!! Anyways, here is our picture!
