Bad News and Good News

I'll tell you the bad news first. I am still not ovulating. Yup that sucks. My progestrone level was 0.5 this cycle and they like to see it at over 15. I am disappointed but not really heartbroken. I kinda knew I still wasnt. I really like my new doctor though and I love the nurse. She is the coolest. So I will hopefully finish this cycle on my own. I then the plan is to get some baseline bloodwork done. This will be the whole shabang of bloodwork. I havent had that done since 2003 before getting of bloodwork. Hopefully that will give a glimpse into what is going on. Then I will try clomid at 50mg to see if that works. So thats the plan for that. I'm okay with this and thats because of the following good news.

I have a NEW JOB! Yay I am so very excited. I am sad to leave my old job but I dont think it was enough of a challenge, on most days, for me. I new job is a huge professional step up for me and I am looking forward to the new challenge. I am the new center director for a migrant headstart. What is that? A migrant headstart serves the children of migrant (seasonal)/low income family. It is mainly a hispanic population. As some of you know, my parents immigrated from Mexico. They came to this country with basic education and no english. As children we were low income, I was the kid getting on the bus to go to headstart. My parents were also migrant workers. They worked the fields and all sorts of manual labor. So this position for me and my family is like coming full circle. Now I have the opportunity to help these families transition and succeed. I am really super excited about it. Another perk is that because my center serves children 0-4yrs, the munchkin can come to work with me. Yay! This solves the daycare dilema working mommies face. Oh yeah I'll be making more money too lol

Anyway this is a transition time for us. Although I would be over the moon if we got munchkin now, I am okay with the delay (not happy about it but okay). This will give me time to settle into my new job and all that. So alot is going on right now in our lives. We are going to start looking for a house closer to my job. We wont buy just yet until we see if this job is going to be a nice fit for us.

Please go over and congratulate Mary-Mia & Rod on their double blessings.
