Feeling like a pincushion

I gave myself my F.ollistim shot tonight because M goes to the hose company for training and meetings. I'm looking at my poor, bruised belly and thinking it's all worth to give us a shot.
I do have good news--my W.ii fit plus finally came in and I picked it up! I told my Mom and she said all the people she knows that have one love it. I'm going to read the book tonight and have M set it up tomorrow.
I also met up with my M.ary Kay lady and purchased items I needed. She's a great woman. I have been going to her for fifteen years now. After talking with me about my cycle she told me that she had to do infertility treatments to get her daughters. A fellow stirrup queen--you never know when you will meet one!
My nurse called yesterday and left a message that she had a cancellation and I could come in at 7:45 a.m. for my us. I called and left a message for her that I will come in. I am going to the hospital for my blood work before that. They open at 7 a.m. I'm glad I won't be late for work. I really don't like being late. Which is funny--I used to always be late.
I'm off to read my fit plus book and go to bed. I'll update tomorrow about my tests.

More about meeting

The re's office called me today. A very nice nurse named Kate spoke with me about what is to happen next. Information about i.vf and cost will be mailed to us. It is after we begin payment that M's special i.vf sperm analysis and a sonohysterogram will be done on me. M is worried that his numbers are going down but I explained to him that as long as he is making some swimmers we should be okay. She asked me when we would like to start and I explained to her about my back. Nov 28 should bring some answers. I'm so ready to go and I hate waiting. But what am I going to do.
I do have other things going on. A unit plan for math, a virtual reality field trip to make for social studies and my p.raxis II are on Nov 15. I'm doing good with my weight. I'm within ten pounds of my goal weight for ww. Physical therapy is alright. I do a pool workout when I go and finish up with ultrasound, electric shock and a massage. It's not making the spasms go away. Sometimes my back feels so weak. The pt is supposed to make my back muscles stronger with the stretching and exercises but it's not really helping.
I stayed up to watch the election results. I am very tired today. The dogs and I all took a nap in the basement. Mine was about 15 mins. I can't wait to go to bed tonight!

Today is a special day!! now with update

It is my birthday!! I'm so excited because it's my special day! I worked this morning and I voted. Now I'm here at home. I'm going to have some lunch and relax. Then it's our appt. with the re. Hopefully we'll have a plan to go with when we leave. I'll post an update later.

Update:
The meeting went as expected. The re was very nice and warm. I really liked talking with her. They do want a special kind of analysis done on our swimmers, some kind of i.vf analysis. She asked if we knew we were headed in the way of i.vf and we said yes. She gave us the run down on what i.vf is and how we get to that point. A refresher for me but I'm glad she explained it to M. Based on the new analysis we will know if i.csi is needed. She gave us a 40% success rate with regular i.vf and 60% success rate with i.csi. Now I have more waiting--my nov 28 appt with my neurosurgeon. I have to find out how my back is-- specifically do I need surgery and can my back handle a pregnancy. More waiting. But like my husband said--you need a good foundation before we can tackle a pregnancy. I pray to God that we figure out what to do with my back and get it to where it should be.
We went out to dinner at one of my favorite Ch.inese restaurants where we ate cruncy noodles w/duck sauce, shrimp tempura, sweet and sour shrimp. I drank tea until I floated out of the restaurant. I was born in the year of the Rabbit. I married a Boar--which is said to be my perfect match. My Mom is a Rabbit who also married a Boar. This year they are celebrating 39 years of marriage. I think that's pretty amazing!
