I’ve been busy . . . working with two relocation buyers and helping sil and bil sell/buy. One of the relocation couples has been a delight. They are so nice. The other, well, they’ve been hellish. They think they know everything. They’re pushy. It’s been a nightmare. I cannot wait for it to be over! They wanted to look for houses on our anniversary weekend. I told them my availability and said that if that wouldn’t work, I could find someone else. Ultimately, I ended up having an associate show them houses on Sunday because I flatly refused. I showed them Friday evening and Saturday. They wanted me to go with them to a house in Logan County at 8:15 Saturday night! I refused. They had me offer $45,000 below asking price on a new house. Insane. Now, they want to inspectors for the house they decided on. He thinks he is so smart . . . but he has a not so stellar credit score. Ha ha on him.
And sil and bil . . . well, I am stressed. Praying that we can sell their house fast so they can buy the HUD house we have under contract.
I am planning a vacation September thru at least November. I will have my current projects finished and any new projects will be started after the holidays. My current closings should be completed or well underway and hopefully my listing will all be sold. I plan to take on no or minimal real estate work, so I can focus on kids, exercise, eating right, and you know, the other thing, getting pregnant.

I’m a bad patient. I’ve taken my baby aspirin and prenatals most of the time. But I didn’t even take my clomid at exactly the right times. I missed two doses somehow. I don’t know when, but I did. Hope it doesn’t make a big difference . . . I was just too busy and then I got sick at the end of it.
Today is CD 17, I think. It’s been a weird month. I was supposed to use opks. But, I didn’t have any and just didn’t make it to the store (again, I was sick on CD 10 when I was supposed to start them). Usually, there is no doubt when I am ovulating, but this month, I’m not so sure. My “middle of the month” pain has been spread out. I would swear I’ve had it today, but it’s cd 17, way too late for ovulating. I just don’t know. And I’ve been really sick at my stomach today. Could be the hormones or the antibiotics I’m on, or a bug. Who knows.
I go in Monday for CD 23 bloodwork. One month almost down . . .

When Thanny was little, we took a couple of trips to Houston to visit my sister who lived there at the time, as well as a weekend in Dallas. But since Ava’s arrival, Atoka and Durant have been our only destinations (except for work trips with my mom and Ava only).
In July, the whole Gaston clan headed to San Antonio and Sea World for five days. We rented a four bedroom, 2 bathroom house with a community pool across the street. The accommodations were great and the kids were great. It was hot, of course, and Sea World with little guys is a bit challenging. But overally, we had a good time and people are already talking about what we’re going to do next year.
Thanny enjoyed the whales and dolphins, but seems to really be talking about them now. He came home with a penguin toy and Ava came home with what we think is a seal.

It’s hard to believe that our little IVF “baby” is three, but he is, and he is changing every day. His birthday was Saturday and we celebrated with a big family party at our house with a Dr. Seuss theme.
Parties are so much work! I never realized all the work that was involved and it does not seem to be getting easier. We had more people, more food, more everything. I love to throw a party, but with someone else’s money! Anyway, it was a lot of fun and he had a great time.
Love you Thanny!

]We are back from vacation, but there is no rest for the weary. I’m just as busy, if not busier, than when we left. Ugh, I was hoping for a break.
But we’ve had some fun. Sometime soon I must post about vacation, but for now I wanted to share photos from today.
I needed a snack this afternoon. What better than a $1 cone from McD’s? The kids have had ice cream before, but they’ve never really eaten it. Today, they enjoyed it!
