Here we are in the middle of IVF # 2. Things are going much better than my last experience. So far the level of stress has been much lower. DH is giving all the shots, my tummy is bruised liked crazy but no stress.
I have my first e2 levels on 5/5/08 they came back 214 then yesterdays came back at 693. My levels are much higher this time around.

I am really bad at this
I am having major issues with actually writing in this blog.
Okay catch up time:
We spent the weekend in Niagara on the Lake and it was amazing. We started out the day trying to get our passports. We went to town hall and guess what it was closed for Good Friday, so we decided to go to the post office. We completed our pictures at the post office and were working on finishing our applications when the postal employee started to staple my birth certificate to the application. I freaked out a little and had to put the process on hold because we needed out birth certificates to get across the border.
Once we crossed the border, instead of going to one of the casino's and blowing money we don't need to spend. I talked my dh into going to a bingo hall. We ended up playing bingo for 5 hours. It was a roit, we had a few hours to kill before we could check into the hotel.
When we got to the hotel and checked in there was a chocolate bunny snuggled up on the pillows. We unpacked and went down stairs to partake in the wine tasting in the lobby. We had a little while to rest before our dinner reservations. Dinner was cooking on a hot stone and ended with chocolate fondue. I can't express how amazing it was. Oh yeah, and the bottle of wine was good too.
The next day we took our tour of 5 winerys and had another wonderful day of fine foods and wine. Easter Sunday we had brunch at a winery and I have to say the food just melted in my mouth.
Lets just say I enjoyed having someone else cook, clean and entertain me. Real life isn't as interesting.

Move on March
Okay, so I had another week of not logging in and blogging. I don't know why I find it more difficult to log on when I spend most of my free time on the internet surfing or hanging out in the forums.
Today I'm counting the days until vacation starts. I have a laundry list of things that need to be completed before we leave. I am sitting at my desk counting down the 2 and half days left before we can leave. The crazy thing is we arn't going any where special. Okay is not that its not special but it not a far off vacation. We are driving across the border for a long weekend. I am concerned that dh is coming down with something and will end of sick the entire time we are gone.
I made reservations at a hot stone grill and fondue bar for our first night. I am trying to make it a special weekend for dh, because just one week after we come back I will start BCP again. If things continue to go as planned I should start BCP on 4/8/08, which would mean stims should start around 5/1/08.
Heres another complication for this cycle. We have friends coming into town 5/8 -5/10 with their parents from Romania and staying at the house. It will be crazy if that turns out to be the time I am having my ER and ET. I can't imagine having guests while I am the crampest person in the world or having to be on bed rest while they are here.
Other plans for the year. Mom has decided to come and visit possibly bringing the entire clan with her for the 4th of July. It would be so amazing if we could be celebrating the coming of a little one.
Work in going okay, I made my 50 goal for this semester, but I have a lot more work to do to make this one a great semester. I hope that taking a few days off will help me come back with more energy to get things done. I spent to much time at the beginning of the semester feeling sorry for myself. I hate the why me days. Speaking about the why me days, yesterday one of my co-workers brought her newborn in with her. He is one month old and so cute you could eat him up. Its so hard to be happy for others when your not sure if you will ever have your turn.
I still haven't spent much time on the forums, I read the posts but don't post as much as I was. It's so hard to wait your turn.

March 10th - Today I feel old. My neice is 13 today and my sister is 3 years younger than I am. What really scary is that the seniors I am enrolling in college - I'm old enough to be their parent. I graduated 18 years ago - wow how old am I. If I don't hurry up and get pg - I will be the oldest mom in the world.
March 10th is also the birthday of my first love. I can't believe that its been 22 years since Bill and I started dating. OMG I am so old.

Winter blues
We got over one and a half feet of snow this weekend. I am so ready for spring. I'm ready to get out in the yard and start planting flowers and my veggie garden. I miss the fresh food from the garden and watching the birds. My roses are ready to be unburied and I can't wait for the blooms. One of my biggest anticipations is the weather getting warm enough to open all the windows and let this winter air out. I love the snow, but I have had enough already.
We started working on finishing the loft opening this weekend. I started staining all the wood and dh will put it up once I finish varnishing it. Due to the amount of snow we had a relaxing night putting a puzzle together on our new table.
Today one of the girls posted a poem on the forum and it made me think. All of my life I have poured my sorrows out on paper, but for some reason the IF journey never made it to paper. My only thought is that chatting on the forum has let me express the pain and sorrow. I still don't have the hang of this blogging thing, it would be a great way to let out the sonnets. Okay they never really were sonnets just words that helped ease the pain.
The guys are over playing again and here I sit on the computer. I need to make plans for Sundays, or decide to play along with the guys like dh wants. I just can't get my head around Star Fleet Battles. UGG! I do plan on being really bad today and making a chocolate peanut butter cake, I hope it turns out good.
Enough rambling for today.

Shopping trip
Dh and I have been shopping for a flat screen tv over the last few weeks. We were walking through Sears and came across a family game table on clearance for $99.00. I fell in love with the table so we bought it and put it in the dinette. Its really quite the table top flips and has poker side, a dining side and under neath there is a place for puzzles. Its a great table and I can't wait to have our first meal on it.

Tuesday Happy Tuesday
Okay I have no idea why my title for this entry is what it is. I am trying to have a little more positivity in my life, but in reality I'm just happy that today is almost over. I can't get over how quickly time is moving, I scheduled an appointment today and realized that I booked it for May I can't believe that Feb. is over and May is getting closer.
I am trying to get more involved in the forums so I can stay positive. I think that not focusing on my IVF journey isn't working for me. That means that I jumping back on the bane wagon and focusing on IVF.
Here's to positive thoughts
