Dealing

....nuff said.

In the mean time....

While on this two week wait we have been keeping ourselves pretty busy. We have one week down and a very busy four day ahead of us, leaving just the last few days of the tww to grumble away.

Here are some photos from the last week's adventures!

Getting so big!

Getting some air!

Officially in the TWW

This is the first time since March!

it feels good to be here again... kind of, of course. We went in today for the insem. We actually received good news for a change. Our sperm's motility was about double what the bank recorded, which meant twice as many swimmers. Hopefully that translates into a first time success. (First time with this donor, first time with this doctor, first time on these meds for TTC #2.) This is officially our fourth try for TTC #2 (Jan, Feb, March and then cancelled June4.)

I am feeling a bit crampy, but actually not as bad as most IUIs. I hope that's a good sign too.

We are also packing for a trip this weekend. E is still at work, so she will be up late. I have A packed and am just about to resume my own packing. Laundry should be done soon. Now, if only our cat would come in!

Two weeks before we know the answer. I am praying that this is it.

CD10

Had the 10 day u/s today and there was a 21!!

I was so surprised. When she told me how big it was, I figured it was a cyst. the E2 was good enough tho, so insem on Wednesday afternoon, which means we get to go on our vacay this weekend uninterrupted.

Now, if we get the +, things will really have fallen into place.

Trigger shot tonight 2am. Come on, baby!

CD something or other

We started another cycle over a week ago. We are doing another medicated one. We just want this to happen, and soon.

I'd like to be full of hope this time. On one hand things kind of fell into place after a ton of running around. I got in for my u/s, the u/s was clear of cysts, and I managed to get all the paper work to the new spe.rm bank in time to get it shipped for this insem next week. (B/c the paperwork is never done right and I always have to do it again. I hate dealing with them!) This time, though, we are with a new bank and I think they have much better service, so that's a plus.

Ok, so I don't feel very positive really-mainly b/c I just haven't been doing the things I should. I'm going to cross my fingers that this whole pregnancy thing really is more out of my hands than I'd like to admit. If that's so, then the fact that I'm not eating particularly well and not exercising at all (ok, a smidge) will not impact our chances this month.

I made too many excuses after last month's disappointment, and now I don't feel very hopeful for this month. Would I anyways? Probably not. We have the day 10 u/s tomorrow. We will have a pretty good idea if we get to do a Thursday insem, which is how it would work out based on last month. If so, we will get to take our July 4th get away trip. fingers crossed - all around. We get to try, the swimmers swim, the swimmers do their job, my body does its job too.

On a happy note, here's A. Last weekend we went to a Touch A Truck Event. He was mostly in heaven, unless a stranger talked to him (or looked at him, really.) He's a bit of shy guy until he gets to know you.

Because I'm loving it

I feel the freedom.

I feel the zeal.

I feel like blogging again!

Nothing to say, just loving the chance to say it. Here's a pic of A:

We went with our pre-school co-op to a horse farm. Not too keen on riding the horse after all. Hey, those animals are pretty big up close!

On the other hand, the tunnels at the zoo were a big hit!
