Monday tidbits

I've got to get better about posting more often. I mean to, but then don't. It will be my April Fools' Day resolution.

Today is the day I get to order my meds for FET! That means estrogen! YAY and hallelujah! I'm still having hot flashes, last night was bad. I miss a night's sleep where I actually sleep through the night. Maybe that is in my future. Please!

I'm also re-starting acupuncture in prep for the FET. I'm going to a new practice because the woman I used to go to has moved out the 'burbs, and I'm not driving 20 miles out past where Jesus lost his sandals to get needled. So I go for my first appointment with a new lady on Wednesday. We'll see how I like the new people.

I babysat for my niece on Saturday - and she is the cutest thing. She is 2 and a half now (time flies by!) and she is talking up a storm. And playing with toys, singing songs, dancing. Cute! It doesn't fill my heart with sadness to be with her, I just love her too much. But it does wrench my heart a little to see her with my brother and sister-in-law, seeing how she just loves her parents. That special bond. A teeny bit jealous of that. Ok, maybe a teeny bit more than a teeny bit.

  1. I think you are stronger than you give yourself credit for. I don't know if I would be able to babysit when I am hurting so much. Good for you. Yay on the meds!

  4. The jealousy, however, teeny, can hurt so much.

    I'm glad you're getting some estrogen soon! Just keep your eye on the prize--some lovely normal blasts, which is a dream come true!

  5. Pie, is there more than one type of Lupron? Because I have none of the side effects you do. Maybe I'm having hot flashes but don't realize it because I'm so cold natured? I just don't know. I'm excited for you and can't wait to follow you the next several weeks! I was thinking today that this wait for an FET really sucks. It is making me crazy...

  6. You hit the nail on the head again... its not spending time with babies/children that tweaks at your heartstrings... its watching the intereaction between them and their parents. I get that. I totally get that. Its something so special and seems like a mystic mirage to me... I can see it in the distance but just when I think i'm getting close it moves further away.
    Anyway, great news that you'll get some estrogen soon, and acupuncture too! you will feel like a completely new woman in no time! And that means your FET is just around the corner. Woop!
