Keeping our fingers crossed....

Ok so we have finished round 2 of Clomid, still doing the metformin though. Well went to the Dr. today for u/s and the tech (my favorite) Julie, said, I shouldn't tell you this but you have a great follicle... Yes what we were hoping for.. Dr. said now lets give you a shot of hcg.. Bring it on, except don't give me a shot. I am the biggest baby when it comes to needles. Well the nurse told hubby and I she would give us the injection. Where?? Ok in the arm that is fine. So round 1 of the HCG injection. Let hope this works.

So being off Monday for holiday super nice, Tuesday took off because I have to work tomorrow wonderful. Wednesday and Thursday Boss rode with me. Went ok -- Friday it stinks. In TX they don't know what SNOW OR ICE is. The news made a huge deal about the ice storm / snow storm coming here. Nope no ice or snow. Just cold and rainy. Sometimes in this weather I wished I was back in Chicago - at least they know how to deal with it. Ok so I cannot bash on the Texans they don't know how to deal with "ice or snow" - WEll the end of the day is here and I want to just go to sleep because I have to work tomorrow (not fun) but oh well. I only do it a few Saturdays a year.

Sunday off to the rodeo -- it is suppose to be 70 on Sunday yes... The smell of the cows, pigs, and horses.

Crazy random stuff

Ok I set up this blog to help me get over the miscarriage, right? Well part of me is still hurting. The past few weeks have been really craxy and stressfull. WIth the passing of my friends son, getting a new boss, and just doing things I have felt the stress level rise. Oh a new boss will always stress one out. I have known him as long as I have worked at this company and even had him before as a boss, but I am just plane scared of him now.. Why? I do a good job (from what I am told). I guess its just change and with change comes emotions especially if you are going through what I have been.

Hubby and I just started again seeing the Dr. -- he is so nice I like him but I just want this to happen. HE thinks it will.... WE took round 2 of Clomid -- ended yesterday. Now we wait until the 25th and then see what the little eggs are doing. If they are good -- will have a hormone injection (sorry don't remember name of it think ag, hg etc..) I was upset when I went to the Dr. that day so my mind wasn't clear. I know relax.... RIGHT...

Although I did relax big time this weekend. I was off on Friday. I deceided a while ago I needed some ME time.... So this weekend I went and did my favorite hobby -- SCRAPBOOKING. I went to my first retreat.. Yes a retreat.. Where I was allowed to be LAZY.. NO housework, no computer, no phone, nothing but me and the scrapbook glue.. (or unglue) -- Hahaha -- If you live in the TX area --check out http://scrappersgonewild.com/ It was worth it.

I enjoyed just being treated like a princess, getting a nice full body massage, and then food and more food.

Well the house needs attention better stop blogging now.

Heavy Heart

It is with deepest sadness that I post. One of my most wonderful friend, Cathy just lost her adult son. He passed away after a long and hard battle of brain cancer. Samm"ie" was just 26 years old. He is like a little brother to me. His older brother, Gus and I went to school together, until he passed away the week before our senior year in HS. He was only 18 then. My friend has been in my life since I was 9 years old. After all they were my neighbors. I could always remember her yelling at her sons and I to get out of her rose bushes. I will always remember Sammie saying he was going to ship the cat to "Abudabu" and even made a box for it with holes. (He was only 10 then). Sammie fought a hard three years. He leaves behind his beautiful 2 year old daughter, and a wonderful wife of 2 years. She has been there with him during this entire fight -- she and Sammie we dating when he was diagnosed and yet she stuck by him and even went on to marry him. Recently, Sammie was granted one last wish -- from http://www.dreamsofalifetime.org/ (similar to make a wish but for adults with terminal illness) That wish was to see the lighting of the tree at Rockefeller Center in NY. He was able to see that wish in November 2007 and also live to see his daughter's 2nd birthday. He passed away yesterday after taking one last look at his wife, smiling and saying goodbye. Now Sam joins his brother Gus along with my 2 unborn little ones for there new assignment as guardian angels. My thoughts to Cathy my dearest friend and her struggle. Everyone please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and hug your little ones a little tighter tonight. After all life is too short and can be taken from you instantly.
