First ultrasound on stims

September 25, 2012:  Cycle Day 25.  Today I saw Dr. Nichols for my first ultrasound after starting the stim medications.  The lining of my uterus looked good.  I had 18 follicles on each side (right and left ovary), but the biggest one was only 13 mm and they need to get much bigger.  The IVF coordinator called me later that afternoon and said for me to stay on the same dosage of medications and come back on Friday for another ultrasound and blood work.

After my appointment I had to go to Staples and get some stacking letter trays to try and organize all of the paperwork that accumulates in my office, i.e. mail, the kids' school stuff, insurance stuff, etc.  I also picked up an iTunes gift card for Abi who had to have four teeth pulled at the dentist that day.  She did really good.  She finally doesn't have any baby teeth anymore!  She goes back in a few weeks to have two more teeth pulled, and then that part of her dental work will be over and it will just be appointments for adjustments to her braces.

Before I went into Staples I went in the Family Christian Store, which was right beside it.  I saw the cutest picture frame that I will have to get if I get pregnant.

Here is the verse that's on it: 
 

"For this child I prayed and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him."

1 Samuel 1:27

 

 After that I had to get my tail home and get to work :-)

 

Abi did so good at the dentist that she even wanted to go to church Tuesday night, so I took her and her friend Emily.  Our supper was extremely late since I had to work late that night.  We had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and English peas.  I also went all Betty Crocker and made a loaf of banana nut bread.  I took the girls a piece to eat on the way home.

 

Then I was finally able to come home and chill on the couch with my "baby" Emma and take my nighttime meds.
