It's time!

   My appointment Tuesday revealed that my lining looks great and that we are good to go ahead and transfer!! AND because of travel conflicts with my IPs we moved it up to Monday! I started a new medication regimen as well. I now start my day off with 3 prenatal vitamins, 2 estrogen pills, baby aspirin, DHA, and Foliate as well as a steroid and a vaginal suppository of progesterone 3xs a day. Then in the evening it's 2 more estrogen pills and a nice big shot of progesterone in oil, and every third day I continue with the estrogen injections! Whew! I am a walking, hormonal, drug cabinet! I have attached the video of last nights shots, lucky me we started out the PIO injections on an estrogen night so I got two shots! You will notice that I jump a little with the PIO, it hurt a little bit! That shot is a daily one, so I am hoping that it was just the spot we used and that it will be a piece of cake every other night. A little brag for me though, George was out of town on Monday and I had to do my own shot. It was pretty easy except for the awkward angle I had to use to hit the right spot. I never in a million years would have thought that I would be able to give myself shots!
   Today as I was lazily laying in bed I was hit with the realization that this could be the last time I relax in my bed NOT PREGNANT! Tomorrow we get up early to take the kids to 6 Flags and Sunday we are up early to go to Pasadena to get ready for the transfer! We will be there until Wednesday evening. I am a little nervous about leaving my kids (and my dog) for that long, but I know they will be in good hands. I am really excited that we will be able to spend some time in person with our IPs! It is so flattering to know that they are traveling so far just to spend time with me. It will also be nice to spend some kid free time with my husband.
   We will be staying at the Westin, which means nothing to me, but the pictures look super nice. Really, I am so simple I would much rather stay at a Holiday Inn Express ( I am addicted to their biscuits and gravy)! It seems like a waste to put us in such a fancy hotel. The last one was really nice and we were only there a few hours. This time we will get lots of use of the room since I will be on bed rest after the transfer. What am I going to do while stuck in bed for days?? Well, I plan on sleeping without a kid or dog waking me up and studying for my mid term and preparing a presentation! I know, lots of fun, but I have to take advantage of the quiet time while I have it. I guess I should research close by things for my husband to do!
   Praying friends please say a prayer for safe travel and a successful transfer as well as for the safety of my kids and dog while we are gone! 8 months of preparation, planning and anticipation has gone into this day, while I know there is a possibility that the transfer will fail, I am staying positive and planning on the baby getting nice and comfy in my uterus!
