Spring break is here!!! I love, love, love being home. It would be a dream come true to be a Suzy Homemaker or Stay-at-Home Mom. As Nick says, "Keep Dreaming!!" LOL!
Nick and I have been spending the past couple of days catching up on doctors appointments and finalizing things with our mortgage. We starting the refinancing process a couple of months ago and after lots of ups and downs things have worked out pretty well.
Yesterday, we went to see the counselor. She was really nice. I didn't really know what to expect. Nick must have asked me twenty times why we had to go there and what she was looking for but I had no clue. Basically, she asked a lot of questions about our experience so far, how we felt about the process, and worries that we have. She also talked about multiple pregnancies and selective reduction. Overall, she said we seemed pretty calm and that we were on the same page. The one thing she told me was that I need to stop going on the Internet "looking" for information. Good advice, however, I seriously think it has been the one thing that has kept me going for the past year. Now, she needs to type up the 2 page document and send it over to the Doctor.
This morning we went to the doctors for our injection class and financial meeting. (Before I even begin to give the run down...put in your mind the fact that Nick hates needles more than everything. He is a big tough guy and anytime a needle comes on the TV he cringes and covers his face.) So anyway, the nurse was great. She gave us the basic run down of the meds and how they would be administered. She showed us how fill the needle and where to inject it on my body. When it came time for the Trigger and Progesterone shot she pretty much was talking directly to Nick since he will be the one giving the shot(or so we think right now). She explained over and over how important the HCG shot is and that it must be given exactly as directed and the time given because it is what makes everything happen for the retrieval. Thinking about that and my husband shaking next to me made me super nervous. The nurse actually let Nick try to out on a cushion and she said I can come in before the shot to get some landing pads drawn on my backside. I think we may be making another trip there when the time gets closer and doing a little more practice.
Tomorrow I am visiting my mom-mom and pop-pop for the day and doing a little shopping. Then on Thursday we have our final meeting with the Doctor to go over the consents. I am hoping my period holds out until after the meeting. It is due on Sunday and hopefully we can start using this cycle. (Fingers crossed!!!!)
