We did not inseminate last month because I got sick and I did'nt want too chance anything. We are on schedule to inseminate the week of Christmas....YIPPPPEEEEEEE!!!!
Tomorrow we are scheduled for a Day 10 Sonogram at 10:30 in the morning. Someone asked if I'm nervous and I must say, I'm not. I've learned over the months with all of the craziness that we have experienced, while trying to conceive; to remain calm and patient. When the time is right, we will be blessed with Baby Andre or Baby Lillian...maybe this is our month.
I will keep you all posted!

I'm Back
First allow me to apologize to all my fans :) (just kidding), for lack of communication, but I have been SWAMPED. We had postponed insemination last month due to stress. I have been so overwheled with Chassy Cakes and my corporate job, we decided to wait until this month.
Today is Day 7 of our cycle, we are scheduled for a Day 10 sonogram on Sunday, November 23rd. I feel this is our time, this will be the first attempt of insemination and I am estactic. Charting history tells me that I ovulate between Day 14-16, so if that is the case we will inseminate around Nov 27 - 29th.
As you all know by now, we launched my cupcake business in September and I must admit it has taken off fairly quickly. The upcoming holidays have me busy as an elf on Christmas Eve :), I've attached a few pictures of a couple of jobs I've did.

German Chocolate Frosting
I had someone order a German Chocolate Cake yesterday, which I had to deliver this morning. I learned something about German Chocolate Frosting, it’s just like me! German Chocolate Frosting doesn’t like to be controlled, it’s feisty and temper mental, much like myself.
Making this frosting was a challenge, not because I couldn’t do it, but because I was tired while trying to do it. If any of you have ever made this frosting from scratch you know how difficult it can be. Keep in mind, I just said the frosting is feisty, temper mental and doesn’t like being told what to do. I Chasity tried to rush the frosting along and actually yelled at it several times and in the end, guess what I got? CARAMEL!!!!
German Chocolate Frosting is like me, you have to approach her like she is the only thing in your world, you have to speak to her in a tone that is like silk, and you have to court her, before she will commit to you.
This morning I courted the frosting, praised her beauty. Guess what I got in return, a German Chocolate Frosting that Martha Stewart would die for!
I have to thank my mother-in-law...Lola Jenkins. This is her recipe and I did a DAMN a good job!

Day 1 and Chassy Cakes
There is SOOOOO much going on in our lives right now. Today is Day 1, so we hope to inseminateOctober 5-7th. I am planning to test with an OPK three times a day, plus daily visits to the doctor, to ensure we don't miss it this time. I am taking my prenatal vitamins every day and trying to stay as stress free as possible. So the baby front is OK at this time.
I will let you all in on our BIG adventure...Dess and I officially launched Chassy Cakes yesterday. For those of you who may be wondering what Chassy Cakes is...it's a Cupcake company owned by Dess and me. Dess handles all of our marketing and other things, Cherish our daughter is acting as our Admin, she keeps our inventory up-to-date and as for me, I am the one doing ALL of the baking and loving every minute of it.
Yesterday, I delivered our FIRST order and received our first payment, it was a great feeling! Today I baked a cake for Dess co-worker, which was my famous lemon and tomorrow I have two orders to fulfill. I have a lot to do tonight. I never thought I would be selling my deserts, I used to bake as a stress reliever, now look at me!

Being the Wife to an Athlete
Dess found a basketball league that plays on Tuesday nights, but guess what it wasn’t enough; so she joins another league that plays on Thursday nights, guess what that isn’t enough either. A friend of hers told her about a tag football league that has started; I believe they may be joining that team next week.
Dess true love is basketball; she has played and coached on a division I level. Her next sport of choice is football, she joined the Dallas Diamonds (women’s professional football league) last year as a rookie and kicked ass. The team won the superbowl against Chicago and now you can't tell her anything.
I say all of this to let you all know that I am married to a COMPULSIVE ATHLETE, but she is my compulsive athlete and I am in awe every time I watch compete.

Working with Idiots
For the life of me, I can't understand how people can lack common sense. I have realized that I work with idiots. There are a few men here that lack the ability to think on their own. They cannot and will not admit when they FUCK UP excuse my French, but I am PISSED at this particular moment.
I'm a Sr. Marketing Buyer for a well known corporation. I have too many commodities to name what I buy, just know it's a lot of COOL stuff. Yesterday, I received an email from a co-worker complaining, yet again about our shipping department. It seems, that they shipped one of our customers the wrong product. Instead of rectifying the problem by shipping the right item via fed-ex, they decided to ask how should they ship, they also wanted the customer to pay for the items they were not to receive (can you see a problem here).
This is where the NOT-SO-NICE Chasity gets involved. I called the culprit from the shipping department and not so calmly explained, "You will overnight the product our customer ordered and you will leave in their possession the items you mistakenly shipped to them, and you WILL NOT charge them for shipping and you WILL NOT charge them for the other items." Do you know this idiot had the nerve to say, "Who is going to pay for the product that we accidentally shipped?" I swear there was smoke coming out of my ears at this point. I answered very loudly, "YOU ARE"!
That was yesterday...this morning I had another email from the idiot saying or should I say whining, "I will have to get the head of accountant involved and I don't think it's necessary just for a few pennies." I lost it! I said, "We don't live in a world where we sweep our mistakes under the rug and we do not EVER charge our customers for our mistakes. We own up to our mistakes and accept the repercussions that come along. You do not have to tell the head of A/P, because I will...have a good day"!
Case and Point...I work with IDIOTS!

Lesbians TTC Forum
I have created a community on MSN Groups that is for lesbians who are trying to conceive. After finding very minimal sources via the web for our community; I decided to create my own.
Dess and I are also trying to have a child, so I hope to share my own experiences and learn from the rest of our members. Our site is only a week old, so be patient with me while I set-up our site. It is active and ready for you to join. I am looking for a volunteer to assist me with this site, if you are interested, leave a comment here.
