No Boo This Year

This is my 100th post! I hope everyone had a happy Halloween!

Each year, my church gives out hot dogs and candy for Halloween. We figure giving a little something to eat on the night everyone hurries to get homework done, get on a costume, and make the rounds collecting candy is a good thing to do. We gave out 750 hot dogs last night! I always enjoy seeing all the kids (sometimes parents too) in costume having a good time. Our friends who go to church with us stopped by to help with Halloweenie set up and then left to take their little girl trick-or-treating. That made me a little sad. I wish we had a little one or two to take out on this fun night. I remember Mom helping me get a costume ready for the big venture and having to negotiate with Dad about how many pieces of my candy he was allowed to have when I was little. This is one of those holidays that makes me feel left out now. Perhaps someday we will have a little pumpkin or lion to take trick-or-treating. I'd even dress up, too!

I am anxious about my first acupuncture appointment later today. I hope it doesn't hurt! It cant be as bad as those awful IM shots in the hip...can it? I think Hubby is going with me to see what it's all about. And perhaps a little moral support as well.

  3. Yay on your 100th post! I think the acupuncture wasn't even as bad as the sub-q shots. I only had one or two spots that I was annoyed with, but mostly it was a great time to daydream.

  4. I'm a reader of your blog, going through much the same thing you are. I LOVE ACUPUNCTURE!!!! At the very worst it feels like you brushed your foot against a piece of crab grass, but it's only for a second, and the rest of the time is pure bliss!!!

    Have you had your ferritin levels checked? I'm just finding out about it, but it's part of your system that safely stores iron for your body to access. Anything below 50 ng/ml can cause infertility and trouble implanting, so I would definitely recommend getting it tested!!!

  5. I'm a total acupuncture whore! I hope you love it as much as I do. I started really, really liking it after about the 3rd or 4th time I went.

  7. Good luck with your acupuncture. It doesn't hurt a bit. I just had my first fertility related acupuncture treatment yesterday. Previously I did treatments for my migraines and a few other things. Good luck!
