I checked it on 3 different websites, and counted myself just to be sure... I was that convinced. So now I'm a little grumpy about it! =)<br /><br />Here's what I know this week...<br /><br />Pregnant women wake up from a "full" night's sleep haven woken up at least 3 times to pee, and already feel like they have run a 10K.<br /><br />Pregnant women with babies under 1 (or maybe older!) wake up from a "full" night's sleep haven woken up at least 3 times to pee and 2 times because the baby is screaming in his sleep.<br /><br />Pregnant women with babies who are teething wake up from a "full" night's sleep haven woken up at least 3 times to pee, 2 times because the baby is crying in his sleep, and at least 1 more time because the baby's teeth hurt and he is crying inconsolably and won't go back to sleep.<br /><br />Basically, I'm saying I'm worn out. I never feel rested, and I can't wait for week 13 when I will hopefully get some energy back and have 13 weeks to attempt to organize my life/house before I get psycho tired again. But beyond that, I'm good, the baby is good, and we are plugging along. 25% done... 75% to go...<br /><br />Oh! If anyone has any cool boy names, we could use some suggestions. Just please don't be offended if we don't take the suggestion- I have looked through over 30,000 names, and the ones I like, Matt doesn't, and the ones he likes, I don't. I tend to like 3 syllable names that both sound cool themselves, and have decent nicknames. Nicknames are big for me. I like options. Besides? How is the kid supposed to know when he's in trouble if I ALWAYS call him by his full name? =)Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-14791019671914822292007-09-05T16:26:00.001-06:002007-09-05T16:37:54.773-06:009 weeks (minus 1 day)So at about 2:30pm MST, my uterus went missing. Yes, the uterus that is currently incubating my child. It went missing just in time to not show up for my unexpected ultrasound. )Gotta love those doctors that want to see the baby as much as you do!) So yes, it went missing and took the baby with it. It stayed missing for 30 agonizing minutes where I wasn't told that the whole uterus was missing, but rather the most important incubating child. And she asked if I was shaking from pain... yes, the ultrasound is hurting me - it has nothing to do with not being able to FIND. MY. BABY!!!!<br /><br />But the baby (and the uterus) were finally located somewhere north of the border- I'm thinking Ontario- and are both doing fine. It is unclear whether the uterus intends to stay in Ontario before delivering the child to me sometime in the vicinity of April 10<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span>, but since I have no more internal ultrasounds to worry about, I don't think I care. (I might change my mind once this baby takes up residence in my ribs though.)<br /><br />So all is well. She offered me another trip to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">perinatologist</span>- and as fun as an extra ultrasound seems- it's really a PITA to check into the hospital and all that jazz to see him and have him ask why I'm there since I just saw him 18 months ago for the same things, and nothing has changed or will change. And we're going to do the early screen with the 12 week scan anyway, so I think I'll survive. (Think they'll let me change my mind around 18 weeks when I'm dying to know whether we're having a boy or a girl???)<br /><br />Baby's <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">heart rate</span> is a whopping 162, and mom's is around 394 after all the excitement. But since we are all present and accounted for, it may start coming down now.Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-17901381084421502802007-09-01T16:57:00.000-06:002007-09-01T17:22:31.887-06:00Week 8Since I am no longer praying for a quick death- I figure I may be able to handle an update with a minimum of whining. Since about Tuesday, I've felt a little off- but yesterday I woke up with a throat that felt like it was on fire. Luckily I have the most wonderful parents in the whole wide world, and they took the boy for the day so that I could rest. Teething child and sick mama just don't go well together. Today I woke up and my throat no longer hurts, but that's simply because the snot that was running down my throat is now firmly lodged in my head. So beyond my head feeling like it is going to explode and the fact that I slept for no more than 20 minutes at a time last night between having to pee and not being able to breath- I do feel slightly more human. Well, and add to it that once again I have the most wonderful parents in the world and they are taking the Brody-monster over night tonight because Matt left around noon and won't be back until late tonight... and I have plenty of time today to rest and feel sorry for myself.<br /><br />(Have I mentioned how fun it is to have morning sickness & a sore throat & head cold all at the same time? It is IMPOSSIBLE to find anything to eat- which I'm sure is just adding to the light headedness and all over crapiness, but what can you do?)<br /><br />So yes, week 8 (YEAH! 2 MONTHS!) is starting off with a bang! Beyond that, I can definitely see the pregnancy belly coming out a little sooner this time. I can still fit into most of the transitional, post-Brody clothes that I have, but they are all the wrong season, whereas my maternity stuff is all summer... so guess which I'm wearing? I apparently quickly forgot just how comfy maternity cloths are!<br /><br />Beyond that- have I mentioned that I think this baby is a girl? At the beginning I was sure it was going to be another boy and that I would never have a girl, but over the last week or so, I'm really starting to think that this one is a girl. Matt and I are just hoping that I'm not disappointed if I'm wrong. Yes, I would love a boy dearly- and I think my perfect combination would be 2 boys and 1 girl, but I would rather not have the pressure next time around, so I am hoping that this one is a girl! Plus, we still aren't sold on any boys names- or at least we both aren't sold on the same name.<br /><br />But I think that's all the pregnancy news I have. My 8 week appointment isn't until next Wednesday so that I could have it with my favorite NP. But there's nothing huge in that appointment (other than the Holy List of Do's and Don't's), but I figured I could wait a few extra days for that.<br /><br />So have a great labor day weekend!Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-577182170673813262007-08-31T11:19:00.000-06:002007-08-31T11:20:41.670-06:00Who needs to swallow?This post is brought to you by the letters S I C & K.

Tadpole is measuring 6 weeks, 4-5 days. Right on track with when the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">IUI</span> was, but technically, I am 7 weeks, 1 day today. Her little heartbeat was at 130 beats per minute. Basically, everything looks great. (I will say that the yolk sac gave me a little bit of a scare at first- I don't remember seeing that with Brody, and at first it just looked like 2 blobs to me where there should only be one!)<br /><br />But all is good- and I am much happier, having seen the little one in there floating happily... and healthy!Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-25178877964529473712007-08-23T08:15:00.000-06:002007-08-23T08:19:15.985-06:00How cool is this?You have to check out <a href="http://www.ehd.org/science_imagegal_3.php">this site... </a> It has some of the coolest videos I have ever seen. I directed you straight to the 4-8 week page (since I'm 7 weeks)... My favorite is the "Responds to Touch" page. I honestly think watching these has made it really sink in that I'm pregnant, and that there's really going to be a baby. AND that baby is already bigger than I thought she was! She's over a half an inch long already!<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE</span>! =)Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-57101291031346944832007-08-19T10:26:00.001-06:002007-08-19T10:32:38.208-06:00CountdownI am counting down the minutes until Friday. While I can't say that there is anything wrong, I just feel uneasy about this pregnancy still. I guess I still don't feel sick enough or tired enough... though I am plenty of both really, so I'm not sure what my problem is.<br /><br />I want to see the heartbeat. I wonder if I will feel relieved after that? I don't think I really did with Brody until I got out of the first trimester. I thought the 2nd time would be better, but I'm almost thinking it's worse.<br /><br />But none the less, our name search goes on... girls we still have some good options, boys names are just alluding us. But for now... (s)he is The Tadpole. Or as Matt says, The Little Tadpole... because tadpole just doesn't imply little enough. =)Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-11249773302358734452007-08-14T09:41:00.000-06:002007-08-14T09:51:40.577-06:00Updates?I don't really have anything new to say... I'm still tired, still sick some days, and totally fine on others. Matt has been WONDERFUL about helping me get rest- he's even learning the tricks that Brody pulls in the middle of the night when he doesn't want to go back to sleep.<br /><br />I on the other hand am sleeping almost as much as Brody does, getting very little housework done (you should see my pile of laundry!), and putting off running any errands (who needs food?) because stepping outside the air conditioning just seems insane with this little heat wave we are having.<br /><br />Just 10 more days until we get our first look at [insert cute baby name here]...Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-80805612042817202812007-08-10T22:22:00.000-06:002007-08-10T22:35:31.796-06:00One down... 4927 to goWorries that is. Today I answered the question of whether a double stroller will actually fit in my trunk... and very lucky for us, the answer is yes. Barely, because it's so tall, but it actually leaves half of the trunk for other things... like groceries, and diaper bags, and my sanity (of course that won't require half the trunk- I'm thinking the glove compartment would fit what is left of it!) But at least I am no longer thinking that we were going to need to find a new car before April, and that was seriously <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">beginning</span> to stress me out.<br /><br />So can we talk morning sickness for a second? For those of you who didn't spend your pregnancies completely and totally, mind bogglingly ill... is it normal to feel like total ass one day, and totally fine the next? Cause I do... yesterday sucked- today was great. Perhaps the pizza I had for breakfast this morning (Hey! It has all four food groups, right???) kept it at bay this morning, while the whole wheat toast and grapes yesterday just didn't cut it? Perhaps the lesson is to eat all the unhealthy stuff and I won't <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">yack</span>! If only, right?<br /><br />I guess the good news is that on days that I am not sick, I am at least getting some workouts in. The rowing machine my dad gave us has been awesome... though I think it's not really <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">happening</span> the odd pain in my back. But I don't think it's making it worse really, so I'll deal for now.<br /><br />Have you had enough of my babbling? Can you tell that it's far past my bedtime? Matt tried to force me to bed 2 1/2 hours ago, but I stayed up to put together Brody's new highchair (yes, he's almost 10 months old & we just bought a real high chair... it's a long story that involves me not liking to do laundry 10 times a day, and a high chair that fastens to the table which has to be totally dismantled and thrown in the washing machine to actually come clean) ANYWAY... yes, me tired... me going to bed now... me letting myself pretend that somewhere in this post there is something of interest, even though we all know I'm just too tired to know better.Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-46528298738159907622007-08-08T08:28:00.000-06:002007-08-08T08:36:13.430-06:00WeirdIt is very weird- I spent 2 days feeling horrible, and now have spent 2 days feeling absolutely perfect. So perfect in fact that I spent last night dreaming that I was having a miscarriage, despite knowing that as of Monday, my betas were perfect and everything was fine. But of course, Monday I felt like crap... and now I do not. For those of you who weren't around 18 months ago- fine is not something I feel when I am pregnant. I do pregnant by bending over the toilet and begging every <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">diety</span> I can name to make it stop. That's how I know I'm pregnant. Right now? Right now there is no nausea, no migraines... just a little bit of weird bloating that could or possibly could not be related to that little speck in my uterus.<br /><br />And lest you think I'm upset about this -really I'm not- I am grateful for every day of pregnancy in which I can go about my day without having to have a bucket in my car, and know without fail where the nearest bathroom/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">trahscan</span>/ potted plant is. It's just unnerving. It makes me want to ask for a 3rd beta... Just. To. Be. Sure. So please, those of you (ERIN!) who never had the joys of experiencing morning sickness... fill me in- how do you get through the 1st trimester (or the first week even) without constantly feeling like something is wrong????Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-26142942671233744812007-08-06T10:49:00.000-06:002007-08-06T10:55:47.645-06:00Oh yeah, NOW I remember!Morning sickness isn't so fun... and I haven't even thrown up yet! I have felt extremely sick, and been oh so tired. I feel like I might be <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ok</span> if I could get more than 2 hours of sleep at a time, but for the last 4 nights, that hasn't happened. Between peeing, lightening storms, Brody waking up, and our neighbors testing their incredibly loud homemade go cart in the middle of the night- I'm exhausted. Luckily, Brody is sleeping longer during the day, so I am able to lay down when he does, and get some decent naps.<br /><br />But I asked for this, right? =) Yes, and I know that a week after it stops I won't remember how bad it was- but I can't help but hope that the next 8 weeks or so goes fast! In the meantime, I guess I better stock up on saltines and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">gatorade</span>!Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-3694240854350849642007-08-04T12:58:00.001-06:002007-08-04T13:04:23.092-06:00Yes, it's true...I'm pregnant. YEAH! For those of you who didn't know, we have been trying since April... and had an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">IUI</span> this past month. I am hoping for an early ultrasound here in about 2-3 weeks or so- just to make sure that there's only one little one in there.<br /><br />But for now- I'm taking suggestions for nicknames for little one in there... since Brody was Jelly Belly, and there's already a Peanut in the family- I need something new and creative. Perhaps something that would inspire a girl this time? =) So please... fire away! Perhaps a prize to the person who gives me the best idea???Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-91627243242806870812007-08-02T16:41:00.001-06:002007-08-04T12:46:11.101-06:00Going CrazyWell, IF I am pregnant... I have no notible signs other than being tired. Not yesterday, not today... my bbt is still high, so I guess that's good- but it has also been this high, this long, one other time and I was not pregnant.... and when I was pregnant with brody, it was .8 higher than it is now.... so really, I don't think I am. I would love to be proven wrong, but really, I just don't think it's happening this month. I think it will be hard for Matt to talk me out of trying in August... if we don't start tyring again right away, then I'll just have longer to wallow, and wallowing is never good.Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-32929921876540887432007-07-31T12:53:00.000-06:002007-08-04T12:45:47.978-06:00IF (again)If I'm pregnant, my basil temp should start falling in the next day or two. I am really going to try to not test until Saturday, but I'm not sure that will happen if my temps don't fall. I know I won't test until at least Friday- and the only thing that could keep me going until Saturday is that I think an early negative could be extremely devastating. Well, perhaps not as devastating as a late negative, but you know what I mean.<br /><br />If my temps start falling, I may be able to resist testing at all....

Most of my "symptoms" I've been explaining away... the nausea and such from yesterday (6 dpo) I attributed to the percocet from the night before. But could the back pain itself (5 dpo) have been significant? Who knows... I know that today I feel very icky. I can't tell if it's nausea or heartburn- either way it's not fun. My back definitely doesn't hurt as bad, but it still twinges.<br /><br /><br />But there hasn't been implantation pain or spotting, no migraines, and I don't think my sense of smell is increased. But here's hoping that maybe, just maybe, it's true that every pregnancy is different.Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-36490393567249724292007-07-26T08:52:00.000-06:002007-08-04T12:44:45.192-06:004 dpoI've spent a lot of the morning going back through my posts from last January. Trying to see when "symptoms" started showing up. From what I can tell- it was about a week from the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">IUI</span>. So in the next couple days, I could have some early indications. I'm not sure why, perhaps its my own <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">subconscious</span> trying to protect me, but I'm not feeling very confident. I still hope I'm pregnant, but for some reason, I just don't think I am. But I'm sure that will be different tomorrow. Or later today. And it didn't stop me from buying pregnancy tests yesterday.<br /><br /><br />Oh! And I did find out that the cramping that I had the day of the procedure was the same last time. So that makes me feel a little bit better.<br /><br /><br />I increased my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">metformin</span> on Tuesday. I actually felt <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ok</span> yesterday, so we'll see how today goes. I think the decreased amount of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">carbs</span> in my diet is helping me adjust to it. I think in the past, I got caught in the cycle that the drugs would make me feel terrible, and that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">carbs</span> would help relieve the nausea right away- unfortunately, in the long run they made it worse. But since I wasn't eating many <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">carbs</span> when I started this time, perhaps the cycle is broken. And it gives me something to blame any early symptoms on. =)Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-41794873450974093332007-07-19T07:53:00.000-06:002007-07-19T07:55:21.780-06:00HiatusI have decided to take a hiatus from this blog.

Several others (on both sides) around 10-11 mm which she isn't concerned with as the main one seems very dominant at this point.

Yes- that's right- I've been dreaming about having twins. And it seems like it would be so great- but then you realize that you never get sleep- that the 18 month old will still require constant attention- and probably most importantly- you need cute twin names!!! Overwhelming is a good word for it.<br /><br />So I'm waiting anxiously for tomorrow to find out what's happening "down there." And the waiting seems eternal.<br /><br />In other news- I don't think the hot flashes are as bad this time around, but I think that the emotional wreckage is greater. I'm not sure (even with the heat) that I've come out on the better end of the deal this time.Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-34647852065503388742007-07-15T09:11:00.001-06:002007-07-15T09:19:51.678-06:00THE WeekIt seemed like this week would never get here! Matt and I decided in April to start trying for #2... I knew that because of our various trips, we wouldn't be able to cycle in May, but I really thought we would have started before now. And now the waiting is almost over- for a few days, there are things going on... I am hoping the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">IUI</span> will be before Saturday. If it happens to fall this weekend, I am at the mercy of an on call doc, or having to use a fertility clinic where we've never met anyone. Neither option makes me all that happy.<br /><br />I'm very anxious to see which ovary is active this month. I think Matt and I are hoping it's the left one... the right one tends to be a bit more active and produce a greater number of follicles... in other words, our chance for multiples goes up. (And for those keeping score, Brody came from the left side...) My left usually has 2 follicles, but one ends up being a bit more dominant. My right usually has 2-3 where 2 eggs releasing is a bit more likely. As much as I like the idea of twins, with one already here, I'm just not sure it would be my first choice... I like my sleep! =)<br /><br />Probably no more updates until Tuesday after the ultrasound... though I think I may start <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">OPK's</span> today- just in case.Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-40351453154163607252007-07-11T17:06:00.000-06:002007-07-11T17:18:35.417-06:00Day 7 (creative, eh?)Yeah! So I took the last <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">clomid</span> today. The hot flashes have been hitting pretty hard- especially at night. But the bigger problem is that when they are done, and I have, in a huffy fit, thrown all the covers off, I can't get them back because Matt wraps himself up in them.<br /><br />Except the sheet- because no matter how hard I try, I just can't get him to understand the purpose of a sheet. What's up with that???? I hate having to wash our comforter as often as I do, but he freaking won't use the sheet! I will give him credit, that despite not understanding why I would like for him to use it, he tries. But I think the 27 years that he slept without one before that are so deeply ingrained that it is impossible to stay that way through the night.<br /><br />Oh- and because I am now 30, the doc wants my day 3 <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">blood work</span> done if I'm not pregnant this cycle... she thinks there's a good chance that there's something wrong with my egg levels/quality since I had a 50+ day cycle despite <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">prometrium</span> & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">metformin</span>... I am more inclined to believe that my body doesn't respond well to progesterone (as I never had a period while taking a progesterone only birth control pill either)... so here's hoping it doesn't get the far...<br /><br />And an even bigger OH! *If/When* we have a girl... I think we have a name... and NO I'm not telling until I am pregnant & it happens to be a girl... boys names are much more difficult for us to agree on (unless we want Brody & Brady & Brennan & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Braeden</span>... it seems the only boys names we like are BR names, and neither of us are willing to go there- but wouldn't Brody and Brady make really cute twin names???)Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-86420170062693016662007-07-07T20:11:00.000-06:002007-07-07T20:17:58.573-06:00It's getting hot in here...I thought I remembered the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">clomid</span> taking a few days before the hot flashes kicked in, but alas, I've already had my first one, and the first dose was less than 12 hours ago... it wasn't a bad one though, so perhaps in winter I never would have noticed it.<br /><br />Short and sweet tonight... I'm in the middle of the Harry Potter books. In the last 4 days I have finished books 1-3 and am halfway through 4. I am trying to reread them all before the 21st when the last one comes out. I think I am feeling the same way about the books that I am about this cycle. I am so excited for it to happen, and yet a part of me is sad knowing that it will be over soon. (OK, wait, that didn't sound right... I will be happy when the cycle is over, but there's a good chance Matt and I will stop at 2, and it makes me sad to think that I would be starting my last pregnancy and such...better?)Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-88998028842779031542007-07-05T11:00:00.000-06:002007-07-05T11:09:50.989-06:00CD 1!!!!!YEAH!!! 51 days later, we FINALLY have Day 1. I am not <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">exaggerating</span> to say that I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">squealed</span> and jumped up and down with happiness. And I have to admit that I looked up my due date... (April 8th)... just. in. case. Which of course makes me think that if I had the baby on April 6th, it would be on my Great Grandmother's birthday... and that seems like a good omen to me.<br /><br />I am trying desperately to not get my hopes up. I KNOW that we got lucky last time, and that there are no guarantees that the first time will work this time. But I can't say that I won't be sorely dissapointed! I mean seriously- if I have to take clomid during the hottest month of the year, there better be a good payoff! =)<br /><br />So here we go.... clomid starts Saturday, follicle ultrasound on the 17th... insemination...??? sometime between the 19th and 25th.Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-45228306280523799332007-06-27T09:35:00.001-06:002007-06-27T09:36:35.703-06:00Nothing... Nada...It's getting really boring over here. There are no meds to take- no tests to take- nothing to do but wait. And if there is something that I do worse than waiting I am totally unsure what it is!Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682806878342033915.post-8554245974773790972007-06-25T20:59:00.000-06:002007-06-25T21:06:21.403-06:00Nothing to tellThere's not really anything to tell. I took the last dose of Prometrium last night- so I'm just waiting for CD 1... hopefully it will be tomorrow. <br /><br />So just to prove that this cycle is cursed... if it works, I am likely to have the baby on April Fool's Day... yippie! (yes, I'm a freak...)Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.com0
