Well it's New Year's Eve and I'm sick! I caught the stomach bug that DH and FIL had last week and started puking last night. I took the day off from work to recuperate and I've alternated between playing online and napping. We had had plans to go up to our friends' house when DH got home from work, but obviously we had to cancel. So I guess it's a bum at home and watch the ball drop kind of night.
On that note...I can't believe another year has come and gone!! Where does the time go? Here is a list of big events from 2009 (at least the ones I can remember!):
January-Met with OBGYN to discuss why we weren't getting PG and what our options were
February-My BFF has her beautiful little girl and I was there for the whole thing!
May-I turned 28!!! Holy Cow!!
June-We have our first appt with our RE and face the fact that we are dealing with IF
August-Went to NH for a big family reunion with DH's side and met some awesome relatives.
August-Gave myself my first ever injection for IUI #1
August-Met a fabulous group of girls from the IF message board for a wonderful GTG in NYC!
September-My wonderful Aunt passed away and DH and I flew out to KS for the services. I'm going to miss her so much, she was my IF info go to person and a big source of support for us.
October-Celebrated our 6 year anniversary!!!
October-Another GTG in NYC with the girls!
November-Dad came to visit for Thankgiving and we went to see White Christmas on B'way in NYC. It was so much fun!
December-Switched insurance coverage to have better bennefits for IF...so freakin' relieved!!
December-Can't believe we are already to IUI #4 *crossing fingers for BFP*
Here's to hoping that 2010 brings us our rainbow and other wonderful things! Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!
Today has been such a good day. I got some great gifts: two Wii games (one hunting, one fishing), a travel mug for my coffee, some dark chocolate hot chocolate. The best gift though was the digital camera I asked for! And the best part was it wasn't the one I thought I was getting, it was one better!!! I've been palying with it all day in between playing with the Wii games. We were supposed to go up to BIL and SIL's house but DH and FIL were both sick the last few days. So now we are going on Sunday and we will be having dinner up there also. Yay to extending Christmas! We may be going to MIL's house tomorrow, but not sure since we haven't heard from her.
Other than that DH and I are hoping for a Christmas miracle since we went for IUI #4 yesterday. I would be so awesome if this could be the one that works. I just keep hoping that the magic of the holiday will be the good luck that we need.

So Many Reasons To Be Excited
I found out today that IUI #4 will take place on Christmas Eve morning! We will also be doing TI on Christmas since the RE's office will be closed for the holiday. I'm really super excited and that alone is scaring me. Every one of our IUIs has fallen on some kinda of significant date, and now it's falling on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. How can you not have hope that this will be the one to work? How do you try to tell yourself to not get your hopes to high? And the worst part is knowing that if this one doesn't work out, it's going to be a really hard fall. But right now I'm not thinking about that, I'm enjoying the moment while it lasts and then we will deal with things when they come.
Otherwise we are pretty much ready for the holidays. All the gifts have been bought and the ones that needed to be mailed are on their way. The only real thing left to figure out is when we are going to BIL and SIL's house. It sounds like that will be in the afternoon since we might be eating an early dinner up there. Ahh the holidays...so stressful! lol

5 Days To Go...Let The Craziness Begin!
So today is officially 5 days until Christmas and the annual tradition of "Let's see how fast we can drive you crazy" has begun. BIL and SIL were just here and we were discussing the Christmas Eve/Christmas Day events timeline. It amazes me how many people it takes to plan a "simple" family gathering. Not only do we have to figure out when all the adults can be there, but we also have to figure out when all the kids will be present (BIL has a daughter from his first marriage that divides the day between two houses...been there...done that). Ahh the joy of the holidays! On a postive note: Our house looks awesome this year!
Hubby and BIL did a great job this year and we have gotten so many compliments by both the neighbors and just randome people driving by. One lady even told hubby, "For all of us who are too lazy, thank you very much!" LOL
On the IF front: We are gearing up for IUI #4 which will happen sometime this week. Hubby hopes it happens closer to Christmas so that we have to do TI (RE's is close Christmas Day) because he says that would be an awesome present. Boys. lol We went Saturday for monitoring, hubby went for the very first time. It was neat having him be there to see the u/s and what they are looking for and at. Since he's never been, he's also never seen my PCOS ovaries. The RE was so nice and took the time to point out what we were seeing when hubby asked where my ovary was after the RE mentioned it. The funniest thing was watching hubby's face as the RE started counting all the little cystic follies. Even after the RE explained that's what PCOS is, hubby says to me "We are so going to have multiples. Did you see all those things?!" lol Gotta love him!

It's Been Awhile
Quick update: About a week ago we found out that IUI #3 was a bust. So now we are working on number 4.
I went in for monitoring last week and the RE found three big cysts on my right ovary. She put me on bcp and I go back in this Friday for a f/u. Hopefully this time next week the cycle will be on and I'll be doing my Follistim shots. We are switching insurances next year and I'm worried about being mid-cycle when that happens. I finally have the info to call the new insurance and check coverage and asks questions. It's been nice though having a bff that works there too, I've been asking her every question I can think of!
Other than that: Thanksgiving was good. My dad came out from Kansas and it was nice to spend time with him. We even went to see Irving Berlin's White Christmas on Broadway, it was an amazing show! Hubby got the lights up with help from his brother, and a little from me. The house looks great and I love all the little twinkle lights this year. There is a little snow on the ground, but it will be so pretty when there is more...even though I really don't want too much more.
