Life Update

Well we are still living at my dads house waiting on the business, which is very close to being ours. We are hoping to close before Christmas but the start of January is the latest. We pick up the boys tomorrow! Prior to going to the airport we are meeting up with my cousin Katie, who is watching Devin for us, for lunch, and.... TO GET DEVIN BACK!!!!!! Now we will have the whole family together for Christmas. :) We are so excited. We decided to surprise the boys at the airport. so, we are not telling them. They will find out when they open the van door and Devin pops out. It will so much fun.

Before we meet up with Katie we are making a little stop at the hospital in Franklin to get a blood test done. This is to find out if our second cycle, since we have been back from our deployments, worked or not. The last cycle did not work at all. It was a bummer, but at the same time we have so much going on with the business that I really have not been thinking about it much at all. Even during this cycle I have been preoccupied with traveling and the business that I hardly think about the cycle.

Then after we pick up the boys we are going to take them to a Roller Derby Bout. My Cousin helps out with them and so we thought it would be nice to see her as well. The boys should like it and JC and I have never been to one. After that we will drive back to WI. All in all it should be a really good day, long but good.

Fertility Update

We have started our 1st cycle back at the baby making dream. I took femara CD 04-08. CD 15 I went in for my US to see if there are any follicles. There are 2!!!! One on the left side and one on the right side (18 & 19). So, the IUI is a go! That night JC gave me the HCG shot to make me ovulate within the next 24-48 hours. Today is CD 17, the day of our IUI. We are waiting for our appointment now and I am sure it will go well.

I am taking prenatal vitamins and baby aspirin daily. At 5 DPO I will start progesterone pills to help thicken the lining of my uterus and the Lovenox shot in my belly to thin my blood.

I should be able to test in about 14 days. We have so much going on that it will go by faster than normal. Usually I am thinking about it so much that time goes so slow. I did not notice any of the side effects of the femara. Probably because I was not thinking about it at all. We were too busy with everything else.

That is about all that I have for right now.
