I will start with my infertility news because I am sure that is far more exciting than the rest of this post will be. Tonight marks 7 days of injections which means we go in tomorrow for blood tests and scans to see what the heck is happen in the old ovaries. I am really really worried in typical panicky fashion. Here are the top three things I worry about:
1. NOTHING is happening and I have just wasted 7 days (this happened last time)
2. LOTS has happened and I am completely overstimulated and we have to cancel this cycle. There would be no words for the devastation I would feel. I would most like grab a bottle of my favorite alcohol and disappear for a while.
3. That this amount of Puregon was enough to grow an egg or eggs. Then my body kicked in naturally and I ovulated already without having sex. Where this comes from I am not totally sure. My guess is all that crap about cervical mucus. I should totally go on record that I only bought into the cervical mucus crap for about a week. I am too grossed out by it! But I can definitely tell when I am feeling a little dry (WITHOUT CHECKING!!!)
Needless to say I am definitely worried about tomorrow. I am don't know if there is a good news scenario tomorrow. The best news would be if we triggered tomorrow night. Then I could try and get through the two week wait before school starts. Wait that isn't a good news scenario because if it fails or I get the period from hell again...not a great way to start the new school year. This is all so complicated.
The night before we had dinner at my in laws. Alana my gorgeous future sister in law made us all dinner. Her and Mick (BIL) got a puppy and named him Bob. Mick wanted to name their future son Bob and Alana said I will compromise and name the dog Bob. I think she made a good call. We started talking about baby names and how both of us had girl's names picked out but were completely stumped over boys names.
So yesterday my resolve broke and I gave into baby fever. I started thinking about how we can never really settle on middle names. I decided to google middle names and stumbled across the baby name genie. I have never laughed so hard in a long, long time. You put in your last name and it "grants" your wish for the perfect name for your baby. Here are some of the perfect names we will not be naming our child: Shelby Dominique, Shreya Brook, Tanya Jenna, Candance Vivian, Dylan Presely...etc. I think some of these names are really pretty by themselves or with a different name. They also DON'T go with our last name. If you really want a good giggle head on over. I should also say it did come up with a couple of good ones. I am not totally opposed to Catherine Sarah.
In regular life news, I have finally caught the "get my crap done!" bug. It most likely stems from what I saw yesterday afternoon when I got home from the pool. My husband decided he would lend a hand by cleaning up our bathroom for me. I have learned that if my husband is going to clean NEVER criticize. Criticizing wasn't so much the problem versus laughing. Husband logic says that if the floors are made of tile and I mop it than I can also mop the shower because it is made of tiles. That is exactly what he was doing when I came in. Mopping our shower with my exfoliation soap (I wasn't even going to ask).
I am beyond determined to not have a single item of clothing out of place by Saturday. That is my mission today and all of this week. I want to get everything clean, iron, folded or hung, dry cleaned, organized, and sorted. I had to spend 10-15 minutes today hunting every square inch of my house looking for missing socks. Socks are the bane of my laundry existence! It seems that even though they are worn in pairs they NEVER all come out the dryer in pairs. No, I don't think the dryer eats them. The problem is they NEVER make it to the washer in pairs. One always seems to get shoved under the bed, wrapped in a towel or left in a gym bag. To me NOTHING is more annoying than thinking you have washed all the jammies, undies, and socks only to find one you missed!
Even better is the Golden Globes are on!!! I love watching award shows...I always have even as a small child. It's always so glamorous and I love trying to predict who will win. Especially in Australia, it helps (or sometimes makes it worse) my homesickness. I feel like I can still be part of something I always used to do.
Just a quick note...I so want to start including more pictures in my post. Just as soon as I get new batteries for my camera.
