Oh...what a bad mom I am

Well our little snow baby arrived in Dallas yesterday! A friend called last night to ask if it was in Dallas or still in Wichita and by gosh I didn't even know. What a horrible mom I am already! I'm too busy to even think about where he/she is. So first thing this morning I gave the Dallas office a call and they said it arrived yesterday safe and sound. I also paid for our upcoming FET today, as we are wanting to write off any and every medical thing we can this year. It's going to make me sick when we do our taxes and really see the number we have spent this year...ugh. If all goes as planned we should be ready to transfer it at the end of January. I hope this doesn't interfere with school so I don't have to miss or tell them what we are doing. This year has gone so fast! I can't believe Christmas is next week already. The girl I work with that is also starting nursing school with me said we only have two paychecks left until school starts....Yikes! I then started thinking that's only 4 weeks and only 4 weekends and only 30 days before my life is going to drasticly change. How exciting and yet scary all at the same time, but i'm ready for a new adventure!

FET Protocol

We organized the shipping of our last embryo. It should be shipping out next week. Just a few papers we have to sign and off to Dallas it goes. I was thinking about this upcoming FET (frozen embryo transfer) and how different the protocol is. I will only be on estrace (estrogen) and progesterone where as last time I had to take two other meds to control when I ovulate. So I was starting to panic and thinking what is he doing, does he know what he is doing. I did some research online last night and found a study that was done. It's a more natural protocol and it works just as well. I also posted on twoweekwait.com and asked if anyone else had this same protocol and there was one lady that replied and she is currently pregnant with twins. If you are really interested then you can learn more about it at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2467429/ . I don't think my body really likes all the medication so maybe this will be it!
