Today was a BIG day.
Today was the day we have been waiting for.
Today was the day that we didn't make it to on our last cycle.
Today was the Cycle 11 day ultrasound...
Today started out like any other Friday, me waking up with the dog right by my face, relaxing until I absolutely have to get up, took a shower, walked the dog and headed out to my appointment...
I failed to realize that I was not appropriately dressed for the "public"...I was in my "at home only" itty bitty, see thru tank top WITH my yoga pants and flip flops:)
ekkkkkkkkk...Before I walked out the door I did have the mind to grab a jacket in case I got cold.
As I am driving to the Dr's..I get cold, so I reach for my jacket and my "jacket" is actually a very dressy turtleneck sweater...At this point I look down and realize what I really have on!!!! I LOVE a good laugh, but on this very important day I was in no mood....
So I did what any other woman in my position would do: I drove DIRECTLY to Kohl's to go buy myself some appropriate clothing that would cover-up the WHOLE outfit...
(you should know that my Dr is in Irvine, and I was driving on the freeway by the time I figured out my outfit sucked)
I did have a good laugh at myself because what I actually purchased was an over sized men's T-shirt that had a picture of the Pillsbury Dough boy on it that said "POKE ME"
My only thinking was go cheap and to go big, something that would just cover...:)
Sometimes I think the Lord allows these things to happen to me, so I can take a moment to just breath and turn my eyes toward him and not me......ahh man was I an "interesting" sight at the Dr's.
Fast Forward 1 hour:
The Dr was pleased to see 2 follicles on the right ovary, each 16mm in size...
So this means that the Clomid did its job and we are right on track for the next step in our IUI cycle.
The next step is the HCG shot. The HCG shot is a "trigger" shot for ovulation, once given the shot I will ovulate within 24-36 hours. Trav received only written instructions on how to administer the shot...ekkkkkkk!!
He says the shot is the part he is the most nervous about..:)
We have to set an alarm for early Sunday morning for 1am...The shot is VERY time sensitive, so it MUST be done at this time only.
We have the IUI scheduled for Monday the 27th at 11am!!!!!!!
We are very excited to take the next step in the Cycle...this will be new territory for us, but we are ready!!!
To my amazement, Dr A never once questioned my choice of shirt, or the flip flops!!!
I am strangley peaceful...
Today was a BIG day, yet I felt peace throughout
Today I feel good!
I am at Peace
Jeremiah 29:11 The Message I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
Philippians 4:8-9
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Glad things are progressing! The shots will be a breeze, we did prog. shots in the bum every Friday for about 18 weeks. Jason never once administered one - Rebebkah and my mom did .. he's such a chicken!!
