If you guessed me, you guessed right! Four for you Glen Coco!* Annnnddd, you're already hoping I'd go away again. Well, too bad, cause I'm back and I'm here to stay!
How have you guys been? I feel like I missed so much while I was gone, and looking back through my feeds I would say I sure did! First off:
MAJOR CONGRATULATIONS TO THEINFERTILEHOUSEWIFE ON HER BFP!!
I am seriously so happy for you and Truck Driver Burt! You guys are going to make amazing parents to your little peanut (or peanuts if TDB has his way!). It's always so awesome when a fellow infertile moves on.
Now for a little update on our life...you haven't really missed much...so no worries: Stepson arrived on June 18th and, as usual, it's been a whirlwind since he's been here. Trying to squeeze in as much fun-time as our work schedules will allow, visiting with friends and family that haven't seen him, school clothes shopping (not only a punch in the wallet, but the gut as well...I mean, when did backpacks become $40??!!**), etc. But now, as his time with us is winding down, things are seeming to semi-calm down as well. It sucks to know that the end is so close, but knowing he will be back in December is comforting and making saying goodbye a little bit easier.
As for a baby-making update: Even without the Clomid, my body seems to be ovulating since I've had a period each month without the medication...but I also know that isn't a guarantee that I ovulated, so we'll just have to see. I've still been tracking my period, but I haven't been using ovulation sticks cause I hate them and they're confusing.
I also made an appointment with my RE for August 20th (do I seem excited much?). Since I'm 75% positive that we'll move directly on to IUI's, I figured I might as well become an actual patient of my RE instead of just going to him with referral after referral. So our initial consultation is August 20th for us to discuss the protocol, maybe some testing again, etc. I'm nervous, but also kind of excited to get back in the stirrups...ba-dum-tiss! But seriously, I feel that this break has rejuvenated us and I'm ready to go beat my lady business til she gives me what I want, dammit! Obviously I've been reading/watching too many comic books, so please bear with my HULK SMASH attitude. It happens...
Well, once again, onward and forward. I promise that I'm finally back (I actually have a couple other blog posts planned, yay for wishful thinking!! haha) and I hope most of you have stuck with me during my hiatus. Baby dust and good thoughts to all of you! And a Happy Friday!
*If you got the reference, I love you.
**Special shout out to my Mom for letting all us kids get a new backpack every year, especially at that price!!
