IVF CD10 and Friday Recital Update

Sorry I didn't get to post over the weekend. We've been really busy. Things are going well with the follicles. I have about five on each side, for a total of 10 that are looking good. They upped my Bravelle over the weekend to four vials of Bravelle and one of Menopur for both Saturday and Sunday nights. Not sure yet when we are going to egg retrieval. The IVF coordinator made a funny face when I said that we'd like to avoid Thursday. I'm trying to stay calm about all this. There's not much I can do. I need to pay attention to when they update my mailbox today, so I may be calling several times today to see if they leave me any messages. I need to know if I need to order any more Bravelle, as I only have 9 vials left. It's covered under insurance, but I need to get it shipped to me. The IVF coordinator said she'd let me know after they look at my bloodwork and measurements.

I know I'm pumped full of hormones, as I can cry at anything these days. I'm very very hormonal. I'm hoping this works. I've been doing Julia Indichova's imagery twice a day to keep the good thoughts going. I've been doing the "Garden of Possibilities" one that's in her second book, The Fertile Female.

I'll post the pics of Phoebe's show tonight. She did so good!!!! She knew all her lines and sang her portion of the song beautifully! I can't wait to see this weeks show on Friday. They have a recital every Friday during this six week program. She's doing so well that the man that leads the group in music instruction praised Phoebe in front of the entire company for how much she's grown during the past year. That she was a model for them all in how during recital she knew her mark, her lines and put away her costume without being told after the show. Of course, when he told me all this it took all my willpower not to cry from all the hormones. I'm so proud of her!!!

It sucks when things are so outside of our control. I am sending you some calming vibes, I think they come in blue.
Phoebe's show sounds wonderful and can't wait to see the pix and just reading about her performance makes me smile and I bet she is proud of herself, along w/you two. Sorry about the hormones, here's a (HUG).

Keep growing follicles, grow! I loved seeing the update with pictures - it looked like a really good day, so I say the heck with the hormones and cry if you want to, especially when they're tears of happiness or for being proud! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that your cycle runs smoothly. You sound like you have a great mindset and that is so important (and so gosh darn hard to do!) That's cool what you meantioned about the thumbs up in the ultrasound pictures also - it brought a smile to my face :-)

Good luck! The affirmations sound great. Nothing like a proud-Mummy moment to get those tears rolling either! Love the pics.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...
