Checking In

Just checking in. No important news to share. We are 9 days into our 16 day wait. I ave been trying not to think about it too much. Keeping "busy" with other things. Hoping all is well in your neck of the woods.

What A Day!

My day started earlier than I would have hoped for a Saturday morning. Woke before the sun came up to go to my fertility specialist. Had three good sized follicles. Received my hcg trigger shot, so I have to be back before the sun comes up tomorrow AND Monday for my IUI.

Since I was up, out and about I decided that I would head to a local mall to get my mascara from Sephor@. I was a bit early arriving to the mall. Who knew all the stores opened at 10 a.m.? I had to kill about an hour. Anyway, I was really disappointed to learn that they don't carry my specific mascara anymore...the only option was to try a new kind or order it online. I got ticked and gave the employees some attitude and grief. I apologize and ask for forgiveness. It is just that I drove all the way there and waited for almost an hour only to walk out empty handed. Well, to say completely empty handed would be a lie; I bought a jar of Korres Yoghurt Moisturizing Night Mask.

The best part of the trip to the mall, was that I went to NY & Co. It has been a few years since I shopped there for myself. Since I knew I had lost weight, I thought maybe I would fit in some of their clothes. I ended up buying a pair of slacks and a shirt. Now, I won't be wearing these items right away as I don't like how I look in them. The pants zip easily, but are a tad snug in the thighs. I know that in a couple weeks they will be perfect.

Last thing, went to the gym after the mall. Had taken the last two days off from working out. Stepped on the scale with some trepidation. Only to find I had lost another pound. That makes 10 lbs. total!

Have a great weekend. As always, please continue to pray for my procedures to be successful this month.

Blech

Went to bed  at 9:15, because I am such a night owl lately. The weather was perfect. Apparently it rained a bit while I was in dreamland...just enough to make it super muggy and uncomfortable! Woke up at 2 a.m. drenched in sweat.

This is the reason why:

Well, this paired with fertility meds coursing through my veins!

Stressed to the Max

Third week of school. Full moon= squirrely kids. Stressed to the hilt. Not good for my body. Stress eating for the first time in months. Possible fertility treatments this weekend and Monday= more unnecessary stress. Desperately hoping and praying for it to work.

PRAYERS COVETED! ! Is it a sin to covet prayers?

Babies, Babies, Babies!

I just wanted to share some of the super cute kids that are in my and Scott's families! We got to spend time with all of them yesterday.
