Re: 3T Check In!!
Ice Cream: We have a place that makes their own flavors, mine is a tie between Moosetracks which is vanilla, fudge swirl, and peanut butter cups or Cappuccino crunch which is cappuccino flavored ice cream with fudge swirl, chunks of fudge and crunches.
AW: DH and I are taking an impromptu weekend vacation to Cape Cod, MA. Best part is we have a free house to stay in and my IL's won't be around the whole weekend so it is just us all weekend. Doesn't hurt that I should be ovulating between Sunday and Tuesday!
HUGS and GL to everyone!
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
Update: I just got the phone call from the RE, and IUI is scheduled for Saturday at 9! I am so excited/nervous about it! Anything I should be aware of or prepared for?
QOTW: Anything with chocolate! My favorite of all time is Black Rasberry Chip from Graeters, but Blue Bell Holiday Cookie is pretty amazing too! For more every day, I like Cookies and Cream, Rocky Road, or Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
Update - not much. We have a consult with a new RE on the 1st (my RE left for a great opportunity out of state). We'll meet this gal and just make sure she's up on everything in our file, get her thoughts on where to go from here, etc. Hopefully in another couple months we'll be able to do our last injectables cycle. Who knows though. Life could throw us another curveball... it's been doing that a lot lately..
QOTW: My go-to is Cookies and Cream, but I never met an ice cream I didn't like. I seem to get snow cones more often though, and my go-to there is coconut with cream. Oooo.. or I get this local sorbet in bananas foster flavor.. it's OMGOSH the best thing I've ever had...
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
I dropped almost the whole 25lbs of fluid from last week and finally feeling almost normal again. Can't wait to drink next week and finally celebrate our frozen embies.
QOTD- right now I'm loving creamy vanilla with fresh strawberries and a little balsamic vinegar. Trust me- it's amazing.
@poppies717 - so excited for Tuesday for you! I'm sure they are going to LOVE you guys!!
