Pre prenatal multivitamin
Sunday I started my period. No big let down since we didn't decide that we were ttc until after I had already felt the period symptoms for this month. We already knew I want going to get pregnant this month.
I downloaded an app to help me try to chart my possible ovulation days. It's pretty hard to do though seeing as how my periods are sometimes irregular to begin with. I was told that the typical ovulation days were two weeks after my period...? We'll try it!
Saturday we told Curts family that we were trying, they were excited but nervous just like everyone else we've told. Completely understandable! I wouldn't expect any other reaction..
Tomorrow (Monday) I plan on contacting my dermatologist and seeing what she thinks about it. Even if she gives us an answer we don't wanna hear I doubt that will change much... I've proven doctors wrong my whole life! I know my body. It's all up to God. I sure hope he rules in our favor though! Haha.
Say a little prayer for us please 😊
Paranormal activity ain't got crap on us..
So a few weeks ago 3 dishes had fallen off of the dresser, entertainment center, and table beside the couch. All in one afternoon and all landed right side up. Nothing even spilled! Then the dishwasher stopped working for a few weeks, we called the manager to come look at it. He said he didn't know what was wrong with it but he'd get us a new one.. Then we we're getting ready to go somewhere, i was in the tub Curt was getting ready in the bathroom with me. Then we heard a noise and the dish washer was on with soap in it! I joked and said "hell, if the 'ghost' is washing my dishes for me, let them!" Not thinking much of it. There has been a few nights Curt couldn't sleep due to feeling like he's being watched.. I chalked that up as him being a scaredycat.
I've had awful nightmares but i didn't get too concerned with that either. Max randomly starts barking and growling at random places but especially in our laundry room. Keep in mind he's SUCH a sweet puppy but an excellent little protector.
Today we slept in.. Curt was up until 5 this morning unable to sleep. The dream catcher in the corner of our room was moving very quickly on its own. No fan or air was blowing on it.. Curt went to sonic to get food & placed a Bible under my pillow because that's what Curts grandparents told us to do to keep bad dreams from happening. The Bible that was under my pillow was from the laundry room.
Curt got back with food. He was in the living room eating and i was in bed. Max started barking and growling again more than ever, looking in our laundry room. I was very nervous and called Curt in. Curt looked in the utility room and noticed a mark specifically placed.
Also when we moved in we saw there was a crawlspace in the ceiling that was glued & nailed shut. We talked to our apartment manager and we were told that it was the previous renters that done it and that we could undo it If we wanted.
After so much activity going on today, Curt decided it might be a good idea to see what was in there. I made him wait until after i took a bath and could be in there with him. Almost as soon as i got in the bath (Curt was in the bathroom with me talking) we heard a noise, the night stand drawer came open! He looked out of the bathroom and there were hand prints on the wall above the mirror. Almost greasy-like and pretty dark. Very noticeable! They were in an awkward position. Smaller than Curts hands. I could barely reach the area they were at, plus since my fingers don't stretch out all the way there's no way I done it!
Also after Curt began to open the crawlspace and i made him quit, we later (right after we saw the prints above the mirror) noticed what looked like where fingers drug across the ceiling. Our ceilings are "popcorn painted" and have been that way since way before we moved in. I've studied that crawlspace many times wondering why it was sealed shut & I've NEVER seen the finger marks.
Keep in mind before we moved in, the manager made us wait a week because they had to repaint and put new carpet in.. Plus every door had a hole in it. We've always known about the doors but we were never concerned about it until now. Then little things started happening, such as chords moved, etc.
We called my best friend, Chelsea, to get get opinion. At this point I was in tears! She came over and completely agreed that something/someone was in there. I mean, how could you not!? We were seeing and hearing things! Everything was getting more 'in our face' with each passing minute. It was obvious whatever/whoever it was wanted to be noticed.
Curt decided he'd open the crawlspace, against our better judgment. Nothing seemed to be up there thank goodness but the markings still aren't explained, neither are the noises. I could almost trick myself into blaming the neighbors for the sounds. As for the markings? No explanation! We aren't even staying at home tonight, we're staying at Chelseas!
This all sounds bizarre and pretty crazy, I know! I've never gave "ghosts" two thoughts until now. I'm not talking about "ghosts" like Casper, Im talking more like spirits. If anyone has similar stories, please feel free to share or any advice!

Having a baby? Final decision!
If something happens and we're just not meant to have a biological baby then we will definitely be adopting. We're gonna try like hell though! Lol.. Please pray hard for us; that we're emotionally strong enough to deal with the failed attempts, that everything will go smoothly and that everyone will be happy and healthy no matter what the outcome might be.
Side note: I also dipped my last dip of Grizzly tonight! If we're going to try to get pregnant I don't want to risk ANYTHING. Congratulations to meeeee! 😊
If anyone has any tips or tricks please let me know!

Lol nope, not exaggeratin! I live being alter too cook what I want, clean and everything having a place to go. I'm a happy camper! :)

Allergic?!
The medicine the doctor gave me seems to be making my skin worse.. I mean come on man! Can't a red girl catch a break? (said in my ghetto voice) so we're going back to the antibiotics I was on first and time will only tell if that helps...
Also, never take a bath in %50/50 water and vinegar. My dermatologist recommended it... As much as I like her, she's obviously insane. Haha.. We tried it & it pretty much burned my skin, made it raw! Hurt like a son of a gun to say the least.. Needles to say, we'll stick to bleach and water to get the infection off. Burns muuuuuch less, if at all!
Id also like to say happy birthday to my gorgeous nephew! Since I'm so sick I can't make it to his birthday party which breaks my heart but I'm sure he won't mind too much since he has his uncle Curt :). He's a year old! Well, will be Wednesday. I love him so much.
The picture of my arm is where it made my skin raw, others are my sweet nephew!

Stephs staph
Alright so Sunday night I started running fever and feeling like crap. Monday I woke up and my skin was hurting very bad and I had red circle-like spots in my inner thigh, legs and a few on my arm. Only on the places that were in pain... I sent pictures to my mom and she told nee to come home so she could "doctor me up"(haha), when Curt and I arrived at my mommas house it was bedtime so as I was getting ready for bed, I got undressed and black dots were covering 87% if my legs from top to feet.
My lower legs usually have thicker (pretty gross looking) skin that's much harder to get off than any other place. But never have I had anything like this. It also spread to my arms, stomach, back and nose on Tuesday.
Today (Wednesday) I woke up to my skin not hurting and the spots mostly faded besides on my legs. I went to the dermatologist this morning and they took
a culture in my skin using a Q-Tip. They also gave me a shot of Rocephin and I got blood taken. Lots of fun today, let me tell ya! My derm. said she thinks its staph, i'm pretty sure I agree with her.
Hopefully the antibiotics and the shot in the butt does some good! Results should be back in atleast by the beginning if next week. I'll be sure to update! Thanks :)
