Step 1

Birth Control  & 1 Aspirin a day

Time to put my little ovaries to rest for the next 3 weeks (not that they've been working very hard for me anyway the best 21 months). Injects start 7/8 ::grabs paper bag::

Today I paid for our IVF cycle..$8,545.56 (that doesn't include meds). That boys and girls is a discount too lol! Since our insurance pays for monitoring while on medication, office visits and blood work we saved around $1,800!!! Whoohooo :)

I asked Josh to describe how he currently feels in three words...here they are: nervous, excited, hopeful. I couldn't have said it better.

We'll go back to the doctor on 6/26 for long and important appointment. Josh will do another SA @ 12:45, injection class and order our medication and sign our consent forms @ 1:00 and finally a trial embryo transfer @ 2:00. That'll be a long afternoon...poor Josh will be dog tired since he gets off at 7:00 am now and we'll need to leave Topeka at 11:30 am.

In other news...look what Josh, Tim (Josh's dad) & Uncle Martin made!!!

(sorry for the phone pic, I didn't want to pull out the big guns)

Beautiful walnut wood with our house numbers! If and when we move, we're taking this with us. The numbers will not lay right on the wood, they'll stick out just a bit and cast a shadow. I LOVE IT! Can't wait for it to be up (ahemm...hint hint Josh). We have lots of projects around the house coming up. New roof, new gutters, repaint our room and put up our awesome new gallery wrap pic above our bed.

How cool is that?!?! It was like $60...can't beat that. It's a 5.5 ft by 3.5 ft gallery wrap of the Paris Metro. It was love at first sight...but then we couldn't get it in our car! We had to make a special trip back to OK with Tim and Jeri's (Josh's parents) Forester to bring it home. Well worth it though, it's sooooo cool.

So yes, lots of projects. Plus my constant daydreaming of a nursery for baby E. Josh is even excited about that, he may not admit it to you but he likes looking at baby furniture and accessories. Well that's all for now! Much love and chat soon :)
