The Pink Ones

I had another IVF appointment today. It went great. The doctor and the nurses were confident that my numbers look good this time. Plus I didn't get a phone call to tell me to alter my medications (I got a call every day last time and had to go back in each morning) which means I don't go back until Friday. I am starting to get a little excited but don't want to admit it because obviously if it doesn't work - I'll be so sad. But - I am hopeful and prayerful that it all works out. The best part of the visit - I managed to not embarrass myself if any way shape or form. Although while I was "undressing from the waist down" I notice I was wearing the same panties I wore when I mooned the doc in January. I was kind of laughing to myself when the doc today came in. LOL - I am still laughing.

One funny thing: S recently went into Walter Reed for a sleep study. He carried in his blanky and pillow and slept for a full nine hours with wires attached to him. Anyway - when he came home from this he was all excited because he got a pair of hospital socks issued to him that as he says "are super comfy". Well, today we had a pre-op appointment after the porn prop exam. The nurse was telling me not to bring anything with me, no rings, no jewelry, and wear loose clothing. Then she explained that when I arrive for the egg retrieval I will come to her office and she will give me some hospital pajamas, a robe, and some socks. Just then Scott got a big grin and stuck his thumb up to me. I just started laughing - he looked like such a goof. So then of course I had to explain it to the nurse. She was so funny, after that she kept saying "don't worry, you guys can keep the socks."

It was a very stress free morning. C went to my neighbor T and had a great time. When we were driving home we passed the playground and there was T with her kids and mine all playing and laughing. I jumped out of the car - well S dropped me off I should say - and joined them. T said at least three times - if we need her she is there. It was so nice and kind.

The whole ordeal with A has subsided I suppose. There is really nothing I can do to remedy it and I am okay with that. I have picked it apart and analyzed the heck out it - and there is nothing I can do. My friends flaked out - it happens. They are good friends and one miss hap shouldn't have to wreck that. It worked out just fine in the end. C went to T's and it ended up being only one day after all - that really isn't a big deal. Besides my heart really is with them today as the celebrate M's birthday with out her.

I was afraid I was letting a little depression sink in. I suffer from that once in a while and have been working really hard to stay positive. The blog helps - I didn't realize what a flake I can be. Flake in a good way that is - I can stay pretty positive in the most irrational and stressful situations if I try. Plus my biggest catalyst for being depressed is boredom and certainly I am too busy for that.

Last night we actually did go to the game - it got rained out. We waited the rain out for over two hours but then decided to go after one of the players told us he heard it was going to be more than an hour before they had the field ready - it was totally flooded - and the crew had been working on it for over an hour already - so we called it quits. We read on the Internet yesterday that they ended up postponing the game until today. But you know - we had a good time anyway, C and I brought a blanket so we just wrapped up and tried to keep warm. We started telling silly stories to pass the time. Another little boy who was next to us joined us for a while and we were laughing and having a good time. In one story we made C a prince who could turn people into dust, the problem was they would reform behind him and tickle his neck just a minute later - so we were all tickling the back of his neck and watching him wiggle and squirm - it was cute.

In other news: I think one of my faves: Anoop is going home this week - as well as Lil, which would be welcomed - I don't really care for her, which is funny because during the try outs I told my friend A and I quote "I don't even know why they are having a competition this year - she is the best!" LOL - what a retard.

Yep its about time Lil and Anoop get sent home! Sorry, I know you like him but I couldn't stand the guy!

I'm SO, SO, SO glad things seem to be going so well this time around! That is so awesome! I'm glad you have such great nurses working w/you too. I can't wait to hear how the rest of the IVF journey goes...I just hope it will be a quick one so we can hear of your pregnancy journey;)

What a blessing to have such a sweet neighbor! Glad you feel better about the A situation...I hate situations like that too!

How funny about the panties situation. Don't worry after all those appts, you will have no embarrassments. Thats kinda how it was with me when I had to go to the OB and strip down. I was a bit embarassed,but after 3 kids, it's nothing to drop your drawers...lol Thats really great you have nice helpful friends that can help you out. I have no clue what thats like. I havent had a real close friend in 6 years or even a babysitter. I am still mad I can't watch Idol. I have to look up online every Wednesday to see who gets sent home
