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.
