It never fails something big comes up or a holiday is approching and my immune system can guess thats the time to get sick!! I started sneezing pretty much around 11ish and now im full blown cough and gunk..im praying this is just a nasty case of allergies because we havent cleaned our our hepa's in a week and since im allergic to all 4 cats thats kinda a big thing to keep those things clean. You would think i would have a dog by now and no cats right?? yeah not quite. Just 4 cats who have their own special attitudes. So im up at 1amish sitting on my best friend my heating pad i just couldnt tolerate the cramps mother nature is granting me with right now anymore and i know the driver (dh) must get his sleep since i can sleep while he's driving i figure better me be up at this hour then him. So heating pad and blanket wrapped around me im in the cold ass office typing away trying not to go on a google fest and read about rates and percentages of IVF stuff...really trying not to stress myself out..what works for others doesnt work for everyone..i have to keep telling myself that. Ive been so wrapped up in getting orders for hubby to be able to attend the entire trip and the car getting inspected and the oil changed..that i forgot what i was doing and now im being riddled with nervousness and worry this isnt going to work. Its like deep down inside i know this is going to work, but somewhere in me this doubt just likes to creep up and tell me its wrong to do this. I know i didnt lose all the weight i wanted to lose before we cycled but when we were offered the spot in this cycle i jumped at it. My mom says she knows woman who are much bigger than i am who have gotten pg and had no risks. So i got to throw that little voice out. Im so nervous about the meds i took a look at the needles invovled in the latter meds and they scare me to death..yeah me!! The one with 3 tats and i have had more piercings that tats!! I used to be deathly afraid of needles growing up and when i got super sick in HS i had IV's all the time and blood taken all the time so i got used to them when i turned 18 i got my tounge and nosed pierced and my first tat all on the same night and im one that can sit through those tats without a single ow. Ill have to post a pic of them sometime. But these needles especially for the PIO i think it is just scare me! I love DH so much but he's not the medical one in the family i am! I hope he takes notes in shot class or else im walking to the Naval Hospital everyday to have a nurse do them for me. We are actually staying on the Hospitals Base so that wouldnt be that far to walk. Im just really getting nervous and i bet you a year from now im going to laugh at myself for this. I wish my loratab would kick in already id like to go back and enjoy my last night in my bed for 3 weeks. Im not looking forward to 8 hours in the car tommrow but like i said ill sleep most of it =) im a brat like that. Than its home sweet hotel for 3 weeks im sure ill see every museam possible in DC and the area before im home. Anyways wish me luck!! ill be updating from DC!!

Friday's are goodforme!!
I really feel like i've been hit in the face with a frying pan..seriously..but its okay i got some really great news today and well it makes my major sinus headache not hurt so much..we except when i smile real big like im doing right now..I just cant help it..ow ow ow..okay..
Well we survived our trip to DC for orientation..barely..The drive wasn't that bad considering im not the one who did the driving but Charlie was very happy that i said okay to driving his car up there b/c his back didnt pay for it. For some reason the newer Honda's (i have an 06 civic) cause him to be in pain after driving them for long periods of time, but his Honda (he has a 97 prelude) dont. That morning we went to the gym before he had to go to work, i was already sleep deprived 5 mins after waking since it was 4am and i had fallen asleep sometime around 11pm. But i dragged myself up and out of bed and to the gym. I had a pretty good workout. It was good enough to completely zonk me once i made it home, i totally didnt mean to fall asleep but i was woken up by my hubby nudging me and laughing at me. From that point i was in a hurry to get packed and the car packed so i could fall back asleep..which i did through most of the trip. But we made it into DC around 10 ish. Ate dinner and fell asleep. I woke up wanting Denny's since i had seen a few signs on the way up and we only have one Denny's here and its in a crappy part of Charleston so we dont go to it. Something about murder and pancakes doesnt make me hungry. Anyways so we left with atleast an hour and half before we had to report for Hubby's drop off of his little sailors. So we said okay lets drive by the place so we know where it is. Well after missing the first exit we were a lost cause. The streets in DC share names at some point, so you could be on Columbia St. and need to be on Columbia St. but still have it be the wrong one. Yeah doesnt make much sense to me either. Needless to say we didnt make it to breakfast and i was having OCD attacks in the car b/c things weren't going right. Everything that was wrong wasnt that bad but to someone who's been waiting for this for a while and has slight OCD well everything seemed so much worse. We finally made it with just a few mins to spare and ended up in the wrong lab. So finally we got ahold of the coordinator who told us no ward 43 is the right one. So we dashed up there and he dropped off his sailors. Then we went down to check in for orientation. Well the coordinator didnt tell us we needed to register with Walter Reed itself so we had to go to records and do that. We are now offically late to orientation and i was livid. My poor hubby is telling me to calm down and we are going to be fine they cant kick us out he's really doing his best and it worked. He always knows what to say to calm me down. So we walk in a few mins late they are doing a slide show about IVF and well i didnt miss much b/c i have the addiction of reading things online and already knew what he was talking about. So we sat through the presentations by the doctor, nurse, and the money honey as she put it. Found out that since my baseline, saline sonogram, and sham placement are all done we qualified for the Jan/Feb cycle instead of waiting for the April/May cycle. Plus im already on BCP's so the nurse was happy about that. I just have to switch to theirs at the end of next week and ive been told no sugar pills. The only thing i needed to get fully medically cleared was the GC panal and the chylimida results that i was getting with my updated pap on the 14th. So i was worried that someone else would get our spot and just so nervous about it. Well i called to ask for the fax number so i had it and also to ask if they would be shipping our lupron and bcp's or i was going to start it when we got back to DC. I left her a lenghty message. She called back today, and i slept through the call i was so upset with myself for that but i must have been sleeping good b/c the phone always wakes me up. But she left me a message that she was going to put my chart through as cleared without the tests that i just needed to get them to her when it was done and that the money honey will call us next week to clear us for the payment which is ready to go. Then we will be scheduled to come back and start stims. We have to come up a few days before for shot class. Im so excited it finally seems like everything is coming together. Now we just need tons of baby dust to get them made and sticking. So 3 weeks in DC is coming up..im going to miss my big comfy bed and my kitties but i cant wait!!!!!!! Anyways i can hear my cats tearing apart the living room again so im off!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
