Training Wheels

Well one of the goals of the new puppy was that she would be good trainning for a future child. And boy was I right! From the waking up in the middle of the night because she has to go outside, to developing the feeding routine, to re-scheduling life to accomidate, to paying close attention to her habbits so I can learn about her needs, to learning patience about cleaning up messes etc! It has definitely proven to be the 'mommy training wheels'. 

Her and Duke are getting along amazingly well also. They now tire eachother out by 9 p.m. so I am not Duke's form of entertainment when all I want to do after my long day is veg out on the couch and not play tug or war or fetch. I listened to my intuition on this one and so far so good.

Waiting for Biopsy Results

3 days until my biopsy and I'm feeling very anxious. This waiting in between is awful. Many of the women on my FB group have transferred this month and many have gotten their BFP's. Makes me feel like I'm not part of the 'club'. Thankfully I have my art show to keep me busy. I worked my butt off this weekend prepping and getting everything branded and ready to go. Now I'm back to the slower pace at work as well. Though that's good - it gives me too much time to wonder and worry I guess.

Got my new protocol today.

Well. Things are moving along! I got a call from the ART lab in Florida today. They have sent my protocol to HFI and my prescriptions to a pharmacy in Ohio. I am to get my ultrasound and blood work on January 16 at HFI. Then wait for CD1 and we have a projected transfer date of February 10!
