Itās been a week since I last wrote on this blog. I intend to keep up with it more frequently but this week has been insane.
Letās start with the birthday recap. Last Friday night the hubs and I went to a baseball game to get a giveaway jersey. The game was alright, but our team is losing big time lately so it didnāt end exciting. Saturday morning came around and it was time for my surprise! Hubs planned the whole day out and turns out he booked my first ever trip to Catalina Island. We started our morning with bottomless mimosas and breakfast, and got way too tipsy. After brunch we went over to the mini golf on the island where the hubs proceeded to kick my ass. Then it was time for my final surprise of the day. The hubs booked my very first professional massage!! It was just what I needed, a nice relaxing afternoon, not worrying about anything.
Now on to the IVF updates. Today I went in for my baseline blood test and ultrasound to get confirmation that I could start medication for our transfer this month. Turns out my period hasnāt started yet and this means that our start date might get pushed back. Hearing that this morning made me so emotional. I know that itās only a couple of days, but I swear every little piece of bad news just hits me so hard. Now Iām currently sitting at home awaiting the phone call that tells me if I start medication today, or if I have to go in Monday for another ultrasound and blood test. *God, I hope today is the day to start! *
Also, we found out the sex of our embryos and it turns out that my mother in law was right! All three embryos are boys. On one hand, yes, Iām disappointed Iāll never have a little girl, never have a mini me. I think of the things Iāll miss like dance classes, gymnastics, barbies, dress up and tea parties. I think of the relationship between myself and my mom and think āman I wonāt have that.ā BUT on the other hand, Iām excited for a little boy (maybe even boys!) Baseball, sports, lots of energy, and Star Wars are in my future. I need help figuring out a name for our little one though. Right now, weāre thinking Cole, Colton, Chase, Tyson, Carson, and Jackson. Weāre using an app like tinder for baby names, when the hubs and I match on something it lets us know!
Ā Anyhoo, wish me luck ā Iāll just be sitting here awaiting my phone call anxiously.Ā
