Right Now...

I'm in Honolulu -- at the hotel - it's 8:45pm and Mike and I are beat.
Here until Tuesday and then off to Maui for 6d/5n and going to have the family reunion there. Then back home. We're jet lagged.

Started realizing how trying to get pregnant really takes over your life. It becomes what you think about all day until you are actually pregnant, at which time you think about the pregnancy itself and on and on it goes.

We wanted to try and get pregnant this month, but have only dtd a handful of times. From my charting, I was unable to determine when/if I even ovulated. I stopped charting my temp b/c of the jetlag and only getting a few hours of real sleep. 2 here, 1 there etc...

Anyway -- I don't think we will get preg this month, hopefully next month.

My desire to dtd isn't really all that high lately - we've both been super sick and just the energy is not there. We avoided each other for a few days when he was sick, and I still managed to pick up his illness. Flying made it worse :-(
The pressure built up so bad on the descent/landings that I had piercing pains in my ears. The pressure had no where to go. I was on prescription strength antihistamines 3 days before my flight, b/c I was warned this might happen. Doc said to go ahead and try them but even with all the antihistamine's I had the pain. Called the doc (b/c while on this reunion/vaca I will have to take 6 flights total) and she put me on steroids and some other crap to get over it. Hoping the steroids will help reduce the inflammation. Day 5 and my ears are still 'popping' and the pressure is slowly reducing.

In a way, i guess it's good we aren't pg, b/c I can't imagine taking prednisone, zyrtec and other antihistimine's can be any good.

On the positive side - I'm having an awesome time in Hawaii - so glad there's more to come!!!

Photos to come.
