Change of Plans

   So today is when I was supposed to be getting everything in order to leave for Pasadena on Saturday and transfer either Sunday or Tuesday. That has now changed. Due to my delayed cycle we are not able to transfer until July 23. This has been a blessing in disguise. While I am disappointed that we have to wait another month, this allows me to spend a weekend at the coast with my mom and brothers without restrictions. This is also allowing me to attend the last week of my couples therapy class. I was worried about missing 2 classes and then taking the final early. I am returning from the coast on July1st and will drive to Roseville for my first monitoring appointment of this cycle on July 2nd. At this appointment they will do blood work and an ultrasound, if everything looks good I will start the BIG shots and all of the prenatal vitamins and hormone pills. This cycle is a little different because we will be transferring a frozen embryo rather than a fresh one so I do not have to do the Lupron shots. Those were the easy ones! I am a little nervous about starting with the big ones this time, but they are only once every 3 days.
   This month has been very busy for us. The kids got out of school on the 13th and Kimberly graduated 8th grade on the 14th. I am attaching some pictures of her from Graduation, she was so beautiful. It makes me so sad to think that I have a baby in high school! The afternoon after her graduation she left to go on a houseboat for the weekend with church (poor thing!). Noah turned 3 on the 16th so I spent my "extra" time making a tractor cake and preparing for my in laws to arrive on Saturday. It was not a restful weekend at all!! This one coming up does not look so hot either. With this being my last week in this class I have a lot of assignments to work on, a lot of reading and a final to try to prepare for.  Sometimes I wonder how in the world I am going to manage another year of this! We are having speakers come into our classes now to talk to us about doing practicums at their sites. It is scary to think that in September I will start doing therapy on REAL people. God, I hope I don't mess anyone up!! Well, that is all there is for now. I'll update again in a few weeks after my appointment and hopefully it is good news of moving forward!
