Lazy Sunday.

I seriously have the best job, ever.
I take care of a wonderful woman with Multiple Sclerosis, I'll call her J on here.
I spend 6 days a week with this woman and I've gotten to know her very well.
She knows 100% about my choice to do IVF and she is totally OK with me switching my schedule around a bunch during the process and all of the bloodwork and whatnot beforehand.

I am so LUCKY to have this job!


The baby birthday party for little Miss R went great. She smashed her cupcake to pieces and tried to wear her new clothes from me on her head. :)

I have a few pictures of this little princess that I'll post, two of which are with my husband. It melts my heart to see him interacting with babies... he's going to be such an amazing father.

 A & baby R - Turkey baby 2010!

Her first time eating baby food, early 2011 (A feeding her!)

Goofy little girl, 1 year old - cupcake smashing!

I love this little girl and her brother! Her brother being born was the first (and only!) time that I've witnessed a birth and it was amazing. Such a cute little family. 

I am going to start my Provera on Thursday! If I have my period on or around December 5, I will be doing a late January transfer. YAAYYY!!! I hope that my first IVF is my ONLY IVF. I'm wore out and I haven't even started the process. Hahaha.

Slacking.

I haven't updated in a few days, the husband and I have been getting into couple-y type things (and I LOVE the time with him!).

On Thursday, we had dinner with a wonderful couple and their daughter. It was nice to see them, it had been MONTHS and the baby had grown so much! They're the kind of friends that you don't have to see often to feel comfortable around. After dinner, we went to Kmart and picked up our layaway.... I'll have to post pictures of the apartment after I get all of the new pretty stuff put out! I FINALLY bought curtains for the kitchen, our bedroom, and for the studio. I picked out a beautiful area rug for the living room since we are no longer using a coffee table AND we now have a Pur water filtration system on the faucet. I love that thing so much and NO MORE PITCHER in the fridge to waste space!

Yesterday, we were going to do dinner and a movie... which turned into just dinner and a lot of laughs with some more friends. I had to take my wedding ring to the jewelry store for my 6 month inspection and OF COURSE, I had a diamond a tiiiiny bit wobbly. I sent the ring out for repair but I feel so naked without it. :( When I'm not wearing my ring, it feels like something is wrong.

We had dinner at a place called Adornetto's. It's a local Italian place and it is some of the best food that I've ever tasted. I always get their wedding soup and garlic bread with cheese. At dinner (with another couple and their little girl), my husband decided to spill dressing all over himself. I laughed until I cried and my face hurt.

That is exactly what I've been needing.


I've been missing the laughing and the nights out. I've missed the "dates" and the hand holding. For the past two weeks, I've had my husband back and I'm loving every second of it. We have next Thursday and Friday together, too, and then he's going back to band practice in December. I don't mind because we are going to have a few extra days to spend together next month, so I guess I'll let it slide. Haha.

Today is a baby birthday party for a beautiful little girl. She is one of the few children that I feel comfortable around and her mother is one of the parents that doesn't judge me when I admit that I get uneasy when their kids cry... or need a diaper change (yes, I'll admit, I've never changed a diaper. I'm saving it until the poop is from my own spawn). I have a shopping addiction for my friends' children so we went to Children's Place last night.... oh, bad idea. :)

TOO cute to pass up for the little girl I love adore!

I saw this and instantly KNEW we had to buy it for our favorite little boy!  No idea why, it just made me laugh super hard. I think I just love the eyebrows, hahaha.

Nothing super exciting to report. I had a BETA test done yesterday (just because they made me) and SURPRISE, I am NOT pregnant (obviously!). The nurse called and she was like "We got your beta results and you're not pregnant." My response was: "Well, obviously! I had small follies and we didn't trigger, I haven't even had a period since September." I think she felt stupid so she changed the stupid super fast and told me to start Provera on Thursday. I turned in my prescription and as long as I make it to November 28 with no period, my IVF is on track. Sooo... cross your fingers for me that I don't bleed for 10 more day. PLEASE?!
