First Monitoring Appointment

Today I actually had to get out of bed and shower right away and get out the door.  I usually grab a mug of coffee, curl up on the couch with Cassie snuggled under blankets to watch cartoons and read my Bible till 8:00.  But today I had to head out to my first monitoring appointment.  I had to leave the house by 7. I used to do this all the time when I worked, Yes, I have become spoiled being a stay at home Mommy. 

It took me an hour to get to my clinc because of rush hour and the sun but I made it on time.  I have 6 follicles that my doctor measured and others that were just starting to grow.  My doctor said it looks like I am going to be a normal responder.  My E2 levels were 106 after 3 days of stimming. On my cycle with Cass my E2 level was only 67 after 4 days of stimming so this cycle I am responding alot better.

Got the go ahead!

This morning I went to my clinic to have an u/s done and lab work, the u/s looked good and they called me letting me know my Estradiol levels were good to go....I am offically suppressed.  Thank goodness I don't have the hot flashes I did on my last cycle!

I just did my first found of shots.  Lowered the Lupron to 5 units and began Follistim and Menopur.  Pretty exciting to be starting the shots!  I go back in on Monday to start the monitoring and I will keep going every other day.  I am going to be really curious to see how my body responds to these drugs since I am not over supressed like last time.

My girl is 3 years old today!!!

Really, where does the time go?  People say it all the time but it is true. 
My baby is now 3 years old.  We started off our day with a blueberry muffin and sang Happy Birthday to her.

After breakfast we had class at the Y.  Her class sang her Happy Birthday which was really  nice.   After the Y we went to visit Daddy at his office and went out for a birthday lunch.  Where would a 3 year old want to eat?  McDonalds of course!!!  Chicken Nuggets it was.

After lunch we visited Nana and Papa for awhile.  We found my baby book, my Mom had wrote at 3 years old I weighed 25 pounds.  Cassie is a little over 26 so she seems to be just like I was.

We got home around 4:00 and made some birthday cupcakes.  For dinner we had her favorite meal....Tacos.   Then it was present opening time!!

Ready to open!

Working in the Yard

Yesterday we raked some big piles of leaves

And jumped in them.   I am sure Daddy would have appreciated us putting them in bags.  But we just jumped.

And threw leaves

Yea....I'm pretty sure we were of no help to Daddy and the yard work.
