7 viles... yes I said 7 viles of blood!! UGH!

By the time we landed and got off the plane it was around 6:45, picked up the rental car, got our luggage and FINALLY made it to the hotel around 7:45. Well we realized once we got to our hotel that we booked at the wrong one. Right hotel – wrong location so now our Dr is like 45 minutes away! UGH! Dallas traffic is SO much fun too - Wahoo! LOL.

It is HOT as all get out here! We are dying! I forgot how muggy it gets here! Other than that – the hotel is nice – NOT grand but nice! The only thing that I can complain about is the cheap toilet paper! SO not cool with AF! I am almost tempted to go buy real tp at Wal-Mart which is like right next door! LOL However, we went there last night at like 9:30 on a Thursday and it was PACKED! I guess that’s all there is to do in Garland TX on a Thursday night – hang out at Wal-Mart and the Sonic! There was like 800 motorcycles at the Sonic! I was pi$$ed too cuz I wanted Ice Cream darn it! ROFL!

As for the Dr - I gave 7 viles of blood today - BLECHT and had a physical exam - assuming everything comes back good (no infectious diseases) then I will start BCP on CD 10 for 2 to 1/2 weeks and then start the Lupron and I will have to come back down here in like 2 -3 weeks again - but this time we are driving down and bringing my pooch - I miss her!! How am I ever going to last another 9 days?! LOL

On our way!

Well, we're all packed and ready to go! It's starting!!!!!

Mood swings anyone???

Oh boy.... it's already starting... and I haven't even started the L-Demon (affectionately called by my friend Susy). The other day poor dh didn't replace the tp in the potty and I went to use it after him. By the time I realized that he didn't replace it - I was already done. So I opened the door and screamed "Replace the GD TP!!!!" and he just started rolling. His reply to my outburst was "Here comes my exorcist wife!" ROFLMAO Now - what makes this hysterical is the TP is stored UNDER the sink in the bathroom so I didn't even have to go out of my way to replace it!! BUT - in my defense... neither did he?! LOL Oh boy.... how much longer do we have to go on this Molatave Cocktail? :D

4 days and counting....

I can't believe that we are leaving in less than a week to go to Texas! I know I have said this many times before - but it still seems so surreal that we have been accepted and are actually going through this.
I keep thinking and telling Chris whenever we have an event to go to "Maybe next year if this works we'll have a little one to add to the kiddie conundrum." It is very difficult for me not to get my hopes up about this and I hope that if it doesn't work that I am not destroyed - but at the same time - I don't know how to not be excited about it! Awww - the back and forth is killing me... I just wish it was August already and I knew if it worked or not! LOL
No obsessing here right? *rolls eyes* :)

Stephens 10!

Man! I can't believe that my oldest nephew is now 10! I remember teaching him to crawl! He is such a cutie pie and becoming such a handsome young man... not that I am partial or anything! HaHa
Happy Birthday, Stephen! We love you!

Flight? Check - Hotel? Check - Appointments? Check UHHHH maybe not...

Well everyone - things are moving right along – I started my Provera (which helps my body start its cycle) 3 days ago and am praying every night that I calculated right and got the dates correct! I called and talked to the scheduler today and she said that she had to check with the study nurse before she could book my appointments for next week.

When I asked her why – she said – well she is going on vacation for Memorial Day! I was like WHAT?!!!! And she goes – oh no worries – the other nurse will be here – I just need to know what nurse to book you with! I almost had a heart attack you guys! So, I am waiting to hear back from the doctor tomorrow and hopefully I will have a date! ACK! I almost made history – I can see the headline now! “33 year old dies of heart attack while talking to her RE! “ ROFL :) Good grief! So much stress - I swear!

Other than that bit of excitement today (Ok lets be truthful here- panic was a better word for it! HaHa) - things are falling into place nicely - so we just keep walking through the doors!

Thank you, Lord for another open door!

On a personal note - Good luck Bree and Kerry - you have big days coming up!!! I am praying for a BFP for you, Bree and an easy ER for you Kerry! Thank you for your friendship! I treasure you!

And the journey begins

Well - tonight I purchased our tickets to go down to Texas to do the testing for our IVF study! I am excited, nervous and anxious all at once! I can't believe that this is really happening after all this time. I know that there is a chance that this won't work and if that happens - then it happens - but I also know that there is a high chance of success too - so I choose to lean on the side of positivity and pray for the best. Here we go!!
