The pregnancy has worn me out, but I am going to try to do better and start posting again. I am going to be doing a post tomorrow when I get home. So thank you all for sticking around- I love you all!

Five Question Five


I found this cute little questionnaire at my RL friend Emmie's (http://emilyslovee.blogspot.com/). So join if you would like to play along!

1. Do you have any nicknames and if so how did it come about?
Well my name is Breanna. I am sure there are many ways you can shorten it. I am usually called Bre or B ( because my husband usually calls everyone in my family by their first name =) )

2. What is your birth order amongst your siblings?
I am the oldest at 26. I have a younger sister, Savanna who is 21.

3.
3. In a movie of your life, who would play your significant other?
Wow, what a hard question. I'm not sure. It would be someone sweet, thoughtful and very intelligent.

4. What is currently your favorite song?

She Won't Be Lonely Long by Clay Walker

5. Are you saving your money for anything right now? Big or small purchase?
Small purchase... 3 dresses from Motherhood Maternity. I think I may just go get them this weekend!

Back to Myself

Wow, I am really sorry I took like a month long hiatus. It wasn't because I wanted to....it was because I was doing good to make it to work and home with out passing out. I love being pregnant now, it was hard in the beginning. A sickness I will NEVER forget. Thank you for all being so loyal and hanging around, Oh how I have miss all of you.
It amazes me more and more when I have never met some of you in real life yet you are all so thoughtful. I get phone calls, emails, text messages and the cards. You see you learn you your friends are in times like that. When you feel like you just don't think you can make it much more and you get a text or call saying, Hey, I was just thinking of you, hope your feeling better or when you come home and check the mail and there are cards awaiting. Just a little note to let you know that you are being thought of. Thank you again. It just amazes me at the kindness you receive from "almost" total strangers. I consider you all very special friends. Thank you for thinking of me.....
Now to lighten the mood...Wow, I have my life back so it seems. I feel better and have a little more energy, Thank you Jesus! I am going to be 15 weeks on Friday. I hope to find out what we are having Friday afternoon ( 2 attempt =) ).
Just out of curiosity what do you guys think Boy or Girl? =).

I am back and myself again and I am here to read all of you blogs- Love you Ladies!!

Still here and ....alive =)

Hello there sweet lovely ladies. I am sorry I haven't been around much. Morning sickness ( aka "all day sickness") has really been wearing me down. I do good to make it to work and home. Home to hop in my bed. I feel like I have so much to share, but not sure where to start.
I am now a little over 11 weeks. We have been going through baby names, and trying to guess girl or boy. We may find out on the 15th when I go back to the doctor.
I hope that all of you ladies having been doing well, don't worry I have been reading your blogs trying to keep up.

$125 bucks Later...

So yesterday the sweet hubby and I went to see his Dad and to see my Dad. Well on the way home the hubby hits a MASSIVE pothole. Of course the unthinkable happens. The tire burst and the it bent the rim. So it the massive heat the hubby tried to put the spare on, and of course the spare is almost flat. At this point I am thinking- Really it's hotter than 2 rats screwing in a wool sock and we have another flat-Are you kidding me! Well we make it to our friends where the hubby aired the spare and we came home. So today I am trying to find who can fix the rim. They tell me they can repair the whole thing for $125. Ouch!

So the hubby was so sweet the entire time. Knowing I am hot, pregnant, tired and miserable he just smiles and does his best to fix it all and make everything go smoothly. I love that man.....he is more than good to me.

I Am Back With So Much To Talk About

First off, the hubby and I are finally in the house. Though everything isn't exactly where it should be I am working on it. It's such a cute house and we are so in love with it. I am not in love with the huge yard that will soon have to be cut(in this sweltering heat and 80% humidity). I am going to start posting pictures. We plan on doing a few things so I will do some before and after pics. I am going to need input from all of you. I know you all have great taste and can help.

Secondly, I am happy and excited to announce that I am pregnant! I found out on June 3rd. As of today I am 8 weeks pregnant and feeling it. The nausea has been around for a while and it's rough, but I know that it is all for a good reason. The hubby and I couldn't be more excited! Everyone is asking,"Do you want a boy or girl?". I just want a healthy baby, but if I am asked to specify what gender I am hoping for a little girl( and of course the hubby would love a little boy). But as I said all I pray is that all goes well and that its a healthy little baby ! Thank you to everyone who has sent cards, emails and prayers our way! We are forever thankful!

Love, B

We Close On The House-Thurs!!

I am so surprised I still have followers. After my little blogging hiatus. For real, I am sorry. It seems like I having been running in circles. We are closing on the new house on Thursday, yes just 2 days! So I have been packing like crazy and getting things ready to move. Not to mention the stress of buying a house. I mean really? Its been the most traumatic thing I have done. Just a lot to do and papers to have, which when you are living out of boxes isn't easy.

I am hoping that this stress will go away soon. Thank you for sticking around. I will be posting pictures of the house and the new stuff we will be doing to it. I would love your inputs! Thank you for being such sweet friends- I love you all!

Love- B

We're Moving!

Hello sweet blogger friends. Sorry things have been somewhat crazy lately. The hubby and I are buying a house ( the most stressful thing I think I have ever done).So we have been living out of boxes ( my ocd is going nuts!) I hate it! But I am thankful that we have found such a beautiful home. I am so excited. Our projected closing date is scheduled for May 20th. We are hoping to close before then. So I am sure once we are in I will need you lovely ladies to help me decorate!
Thank you for all sticking around and staying loyal. You are all jewels!
Also, May 7th is another big day for the hubby and I. I have just gone through the 3rd round of Clomid. I am hoping this is the one. I am trying so hard to be patient, but I am getting tired. I am not losing hope though. I am keeping my head up and I am staying strong.
I hope all you lovely ladies had a wonderful weekend! I am back for good or at least until we move, but I still won't be gone long =)

Love, B

I Want To Shop!

I don't know if it's just a girl thing or just me. When I am anxious or nervous I want to go shopping. It doesn't even have to be anywhere big, it can simply be WalMart. Weird I know. I am in this weird mood today. So much on my mind I just need a charge card and let me go. Unfortunately since I am in the process if trying to buy a home I can impulse shop ( my worst habit). I can think of so much I want. I know that is selfish I should be thankful for all the nice things I have, but I swear its just the anxiety. Don't get me wrong I love to shop, but even more so when I am anxious/nervous.

I want to shop for my new house. I want to buy paint, home decor, new pots and pans, a Kitchen Aid mixer...... and the list goes on and on.
So while I am trying to be a good girl today- I won't go shopping. I will surpass the urge!
I hope all of you sweet girls have had a great Thursday, be happy tomorrow is FRIDAY!!

Love-B

When It Seems To Be Too Good........It Usually Is.

I sit down to write this post and I am at lost for words, not sure how or where to begin. I was on cloud nine this week from the wonderful news that I got on Tuesday. That is until yesterday morning when I awoke feeling like hell. (Sorry, but this post is about to get personal). I had started my cycle.
Each month I take a hormone to make me have a period and then this month it just happens by itself and at the wrong damn time. I guess holding on to the hope that just maybe I might be pregnant was then shattered.
Tomorrow I will start the fertility medicine again for the 3rd time. I HATE that stuff and it is the absolute worst feeling ever.
So here is to another month and another try. My hope is fading and it's so hard to stay positive. I am just going to put a smile on my face and focus on the new house and try to keep my mind off of it. It does no good to sit and worry it just makes my dream seem like it's just so far away.

BEST NEWS EVER!

I am still in total shock. I had my progesterone levels drawn on Saturday. So after I was pissed because I didn't hear anything on Monday, I called Tuesday for results. I had to leave the nurse a voicemail and she returned my call within 10 min. She said Breanna we are so happy with your results. You did ovulate on the new dose! Last month my numbers were 7.6. They want them to be atleast 14 or higher. So when I asked her what my numbers were this month she said Breanna, I am not sure. Our lab cuts off at 20 and it was greater than 20!!!

Thank you everyone! I love you all and thank you all so much for your kind comments, text messages and emails. They mean the world to me!

Monday's Just Suck

Ok, I really hate Monday's. It's been one of those days. My hopes were high and I was waiting to hear if the Clomid worked this month. I wouldn't know because they didn't call. That's right. Not a phone call. So that just really bummed me out. And with the way these hormones are raging it makes me want to call them and say, "Thanks for not doing your job." It's really important to me that I know what's going on, it may not affect you, but it does me" "So do your job and call me my results"

Ok, I am done ranting. I hope tomorrow is better. I do not want another day like today,please.

Love, B

Dear Blog

Dear Blog,

I am sorry I have been MIA the last week. My life has been chaotic. We moved out of our apartment and are now looking for a house before April 30th. Soon right? We know. So in the middle of all of that I am trying to get my stuff that was stolen from my luggage. I am sorry that you and all my sweet blogger friends may feel neglected, I am trying to juggle everything and I am doing a shitty job. I'm sorry. I still love you all!

Love, B

Tomorrow Is Another Try..

I am a little nervous about tomorrow. I think it's actually more than nervous, its scared, hopeful, anxious and doubtful. Tomorrow is Day 3 of my cycle and that means that I will be starting the Clomid, yet again. I am not sure if any of you know, but that is some horrible stuff, ok?
It's bad when the Pharmacist says, "Ins't it a shame you have to pay for stuff that makes you feel bad? You would think they would make it to where it made you feel good."
I am hoping that I am not Mrs.Crabbypants, because it makes me feel sorry for the hubby.

I am going to try not to be so nervous tonight and get a little sleep. Yesterday was bad... really bad. It's been a really bad cycle, so maybe something good will come from it. I am just trying to stay positive and think happy thoughts, that has to count for something right?

Thank you all for your sweet emails, text and comments- It means the world!

Love,B

I LOVED NYC!!!

I absolutely loved NYC! A place with so much energy. I have photo's to share later, we're in the middle of moving so locating the camera cord is a problem. On my little vacay in NYC I met up with one of the first bloggers that I followed. I'm sure you all know her she is Summer at B is for Brown, Breathe and Believe. I just love her. She has been such an inspiration to me and been such a wonderful friend. As you can see we had to celebrate right....with a stache!

Summer, Your a doll! I loved hanging out with you and dinner was great. I wish we could have hung out a little longer, but don't you worry I will definitely be coming back to see you! Oh, and I loved Oliver and Mr.Tabasco they were too cute. The apartment is so you and your unique touch will make it shine! Thank you for my coffee mug and stationary! I LOVE it!!

Love, B

One Special Friend...



This is a post about a very special girl. If you aren't sure of who she is, her name is Rasha and has become one of my very best friends. She is fun, caring, kind, creative and is a total jewel. I don't think one day has passed that she and I haven't spoken. She has been so very sweet to me, has been there when times were rough. If you aren't following her blog you should check it out at http://missrashamarie.blogspot.com/ .


You know a true friend when you can talk for hours about nonsense and we do. She has been there to offer smiles, friendship and words of encouragement and for that I am glad to call her one of my very best friends.


Rasha, Thank you sweet girl! You are such an inspiration and such a great friend. Thank you for the smiles and laughter, you'll never know just how much our friendship means to me!


Love, b

Thank You!

A special thank you to all of you who commented and emailed me about my last post. I love you all and thank you for reassurance and knowing your all there for me means a lot.

I love snail mail and I also love to send snail mail. So if you would like to send me your address I would love to send you something! =) You can email it to me at bretharpe@gmail.com.

I went to my thyroid doctor today. Well just what I thought. My thyroid level was too low so now they changed up my medication just a little. So I am to see her again in 2 mths. I go tomorrow morning to have my progesterone level drawn. I am sure I won't know anything until Monday, since I won't be seeing the doctor.

So I am planning a good weekend. We're going to the park, getting a new digital camera and relaxing. Hope all of you have a good weekend!

breanna
PS-I <3 you all!

What's Really Been Going On..

Ok, I have started and stopped this post like 3 times. I haven't been completely open, only because I didn't know if I should put it all into one blog. I have decided that one blog is enough. I feel that if people want to be friends and follow my blog they should know what's going on in my life. That was the purpose of the blog , to express myself and also a way for me to vent. I have met some really special people here in the blogging world who mean so very much to me. I get emails, text messages and sweet little letters from a few of my blogger friends and I have truly enjoyed it.

So I am going to share a little piece of my life with you all. If you don't want to read that's fine. If you do not have the time to read that is fine too, but I feel like my blog is therapy and its a relief for me so I am going to share.

The hubby and I have been together for almost 6 years and have been married for 2 years. A year and half ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease (Hashimoto's disease, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, your immune system attacks your thyroid gland. The resulting inflammation often leads to an under active thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). I will now take a pill every morning for the rest of my life to replace the hormones that my thyroid doesn't produce. I have never been the one to have to take medications, so it was a very hard thing for me to accept. I am fine with it now. It doesn't cause me any pain, just some annoying problems. This issue causes infertility. So for 2 years now we have tried on our own with no luck. So we decided to start fertility medications. It's not been fun, not at all. I never knew that trying to have a baby could be so hard? I started the Clomid again this month and have an empty feeling. I don't feel pregnant, although what does it feel like to be pregnant? This medicine has been hell. I am not sure of any other way to put it. I am so surprised that my sweet husband has not had divorce papers stuck on the refrigerator waiting for me when I get home. The mood swings are BAD, I am nauseated 24/7 and I feel like my hips have been crushed. I am not asking for sympathy. I am just being real.

I am trying to be optimistic, but that is so very hard to do when you feel bad. I get up and just pray that I will make it through the day so I can come home and just lay down. I sit here and think I am just in the beginning of all of this. I have seen what women like Summer at B is for Brown have gone through and I am amazed. She has been such a trooper. She has been an inspiration to me, told me what to expect and has given me hope when I know that sometimes she has lost it. I just pray each night that God with give me the strength to go through this. I would say I am a pretty strong person and I am the one you always see with a smile on my face, but lately that smile hasn't been there. I don't say much about "possibly" being pregnant around the hubby, only because I do not want him to get his hopes up. I do not know how he has managed to deal with me and the lovely hormones, but he deserves an award. Its bad when you can't stand to be around yourself, much less him having to put up with it...

I go to see my Endocrinologist ( Thyroid MD) on Friday and Saturday morning I go to my Ob/Gyn and have my levels drawn to see if I ovulated this month on the fertility drug. If in fact I did ,I am told that between 10-14 days I can test to see if I am pregnant. I am going to take it one day at a time. So if I miss a day or two posting you'll understand.

Thank you all for the sweet cards, text and emails it means so very much to me! I love you all!

Another Weekend Gone...

I hope that everyone had a great weekend. We sure did! One f my really good friends and her hubby surprised us on Wednesday and drove down from Indiana. So I was glad to see them and proudly say.."Black and Gold WON the Super Bowl" . Yeah, you guessed it they are HUGE colt fans. So i had to rub it in a little. So we spent some time with them while they are down.It was good to see them, just hate they are fixing to leave for Indiana again.

Then the hubby and I just hung out together the rest of the weekend. We have had alot going on (I will explain in my next post) and just needed some us time. So it was a nice weekend with beautiful weather. Just sad its over again. I always hate to see Monday's coming. I always have "A Case Of The Mondays"... Hope you all have a great day tomorrow!

P.S.- Summer, I love you and I am here for you dear.

Oh So Stressed..


This is me right now. I am a "worrier". I stress myself out about everything. Even the small things that I have no control over. I am a happy and talkative person, but when my mind is "over loaded", I tend to be a little kept to myself. I think maybe because I am going over oh about 5,897,732 things. So lately at work everyone is asking, "Are you ok?" and of course my reply is always, "Yes, just have a lot on my mind". Which is the truth, but I am not going to give an in depth detail of why I am stressed out. When really they want to know why am I not smiling like I always am?
So today I am trying to sort all of these things out. Trying to get my mind in some kind of order. Which when tomorrow comes will not matter, because I will be worrying about something else. Be it big or small , I'll be worrying. "A" ( the hubby) worries about NOTHING. For Instance: If I were to walk in and say "Honey, we are broke, we are about to be homeless, our car caught on fire, and I lost my job" and I can tell you what his response would be. "Well it will all be ok, we will figure it out " and he would not stress out about it. Me on the other hand would have a sudden cardiac death. It would be an "OV situation" (OV as in o-v-e-r) as I say.
So, before I wrote this little blog entry I sat down and wrote a list out of things that I am worrying about at the very moment( none of them do I have any control), but I am going to work on them one day at a time.
Do any of you worry about everything like me or do you just let it all roll off your back?

Glad The Weekend Is Here!

I do not know how to express how happy that I am that today is Friday and we are now beginining the weekend. I have a few plans for the weekend, but other than that I am going to relax! I plan on relaxing tomorrow and the hubby and I are having a date night tomorrow night. I am going to also shop for my V day swap pal! Then Sunday the New Orleans Saints play! GEAUX SAINTS!!!

I am also going to have to look for a new digital camera this weekend. I noticed today that it was in my purse when it was stolen. =( That bummed me out. So.. I need some suggestions on a digital camera. If you ladies know of a good one let me know. I have to get one soon, beacuse guess what..... I leave for New York in 52 days!!!!

Mindless Monday ..

I hope all you ladies had a great weekend. I had plans to do a few things and well of course the rain ruined that for me. Maybe next weekend will be pretty so I can catch up. I got a new Jessica Simpson purse yesterday that I LOVE !! It is so fabulous. I <3 her shoes and purses! Other than that we (the sweet hubby and I) just hung out.

The hubby, who's name is Allen(but my fam calls him "A"), decided that we are going to move to a bigger apartment. At least until I finish school and then we will look to either build or buy a home. I just really do not have the time to take care of a yard and everything. I need simple! So we are looking around for a new place. Wish us luck with that..

So, how about I only have 56 days, until I step on the plane for NYC!!! YAHHHH!

I Was Violated Tonight

I am sorry girls, tonight's post is not a happy one. My husband was working on 2 computers for a friend of my parents. We went to take them back to her tonight and in the 30 minutes we were there someone stole my purse out of my car.

We called the cops and the sweet officer came and took prints and got all of my information. There is a park beside the lady's house and she said that people sit in the park and watch for people and break in there cars and dump the other stuff. She lives in a nice neighborhood that you would think things like this would not happen.

She walked to see if she saw anyone at the park and saw my purse on the picnic table. It was a leather purse and they tore it to shreds. They stole my wallet with all of my information ( ss card, drivers license, 2 debit cards, 2 gift cards worth about $100, and $50 something dollars), my 2 checkbooks, my old cellphone, my watch, my hospital badge, a necklace, my thyroid medication. They ripped the straps on my purse and dumped out the change, my makeup, and my calendar. I was so upset at first and then I became ANGRY!

I have never stolen anything from anyone and to know that people can do it with no remorse makes me so mad. I hope that they really needed it. They are going to be disappointed if they take the medication it won't make them feel good. I was upset and called my mom. She told me that it could all be replaced, but that I should be thankful that I wasn't hurt. Now that I think about it I am lucky. Lucky that the creep that was sitting in the park watching me didn't hurt me. For that I am thankful, its just going to be a real pain going to get everything replaced.

Ladies be careful. Lock your doors. Watch your surroundings. This could happen to anyone. Just be safe and take precaution.

I hope you all have a great night....

To My Blogger Friends

I started this blog as a way to express myself, to write about things I enjoy and a way to get things off my mind. I am not sure about any of you , but I manage to write better than I speak sometimes. =) I have been blogging for about 3 months now and never would I ever imagine it turning out the way that it has. I have truly met some really sweet people. Some I am sure I never would have met if I had not started blogging. It's been a real treat for me to have met you ladies. Thank you for being great bloggers and giving me stuff to read =). I have had so many laughs and I look forward to many more.

So thank you to all my blogger friends- I <3 you all!

2010 ~ This Year's Goals...


So it's officially 2010. I have some New Year's resolutions that I will keep (Can you see the determination=) ). I am not sure what happened to the one's I made for 2009. This was somewhat of a awkward year and all I can say is bring on 2010. I have so many things planned and I hope you all accomplish your goals you have set!! =)

Here are my goals that I will accomplish:

  • Stop procrastinating
  • Exercise more - I plan to work out at least 3-4 times a week.
  • Lose 30 more pounds!- I am 30 down and hope to lose 30 more.
  • Take more pictures- I am not sure why I didn't take more pic's this year?
  • Learn to save a little more- I hate saving, I am an impulse shopper.
  • I hope to improve my math skills- I absolutely HATE Algebra, so I am going to work on it.
  • Eat more veggie's- at least one or more a day.
  • Stop being OCD about everything- I am so particular about things, I am very organized and as bad as I hate to admit this on here (kept it a secret as long as I could), my OCD needs to stop! I check the door's when I leave 2-3 times, I check my purse for my keys 2-3 times, I count stuff ( going down stairs, sometimes how many times I chew, I know its sad ,lol)
  • Try not to be so self conscious- I shouldn't care what others think of me.
  • Start playing tennis again!- I love it. Not sure why I stopped ?..

Thank you for all the friendships I have made. If any of you ladies know of some blogs I should start following let me know, I love to meet new people! =)

xoxo
