Happy (belated) Birthday RoRo

On April 1st was RoRo’s birthday, it fell smack bang in the middle of Pesach and as such we could have a cake.

So, I promised that I would bake a cake as soon as Pesach was over.  After eating the most divine red velvet cupcakes from Angel I decided I would try out a red velvet recipe I found at Bakerella.

We started off great!

And then it went downhill… My cakes didn’t rise!  I was so upset I couldn’t even take photos!!

So instead of wasting cream cheese icing on two flat cakes I just made some plain icing.

I also decorated with these fantastic silver balls and silver coated chocolate buttons!

Lets just call this a warm up round… I promise RoRo, I will make a better cake during the week!

Lucky #12?

Well, we are in our 12th cycle…

Im not entirely sure how I feel about it.

Resigned to the fact that yet again we are not pregnant.  Miserable that yet again we are not pregnant.  Angry that 3 cycles have gone by since my lap, 2 of which were Clomid cycles that both had me ovulating, and we are still not pregnant.  Grateful that I have Aaron, knowing how lucky I am that I have a healthy, growing son when some women have tried longer and harder and still don’t have a child.

I called my gynea this morning and made an appointment to see her next week.  Just for a general chat about where and how we want to proceed.  Also because I have no more Clomid repeats and if thats the way we are going then I need a new script.

Uuuggghhhhhhh! I hate this!
