I apologize for my
absence this week! It was kind of a
crazy one. After the 15” of snow we got
over Saturday night and Sunday I ended up at work until 7:30 Monday night so I
got a few hours of OT! I work for the
electric and gas utility company so storms are our business! Tuesday we got our taxes done and went to
meet the newest baby in our circle of friends, Everly. She is just a doll! Wednesday was dinner out at a local
restaurant that’s been open for 51 years and is finally closing this April, so
sad! So, like I said, things were a
little crazy and I didn't make any time for blogging. Well today is a double whammy, I'm also guest posting over at Believe in the Sparks!
all of us cousins and the owner of 101! So gunna miss this place!
I’m sure that my
favorite moment of the week will be tonight.
We are going to August Hill (the winery that we belong to) for a wine and
chocolate pairing and I cannot wait! Two
of my favorite things together! The
girls are headed to the winery and the guys are headed to the pub across the
street then meeting for dinner somewhere in the middle. Should be fun!
So I’m totally blowing
my shopping goal. I mentioned the Dream
Bigger MantraBand, I’m so in love! Then
I ended up at Target to shop for baby Everly and ended up with a new purse and
another swimming suit top! Oops! I swear
they put something in the air there that makes every single thing in that store
more appealing… #132dollarslater …. I also ordered a new cell phone case and a
pair of lace-up wedge booties from Amazon.
I’ve got a free Amazon Prime trial right now and I’m totally taking
advantage of the free shipping! I’m all
over the place with my purchases and I need to get myself under control ASAP.
Besides the wine
& chocolate pairing, I’m looking forward to doing some cooking tomorrow
night with my longtime friend Alicia and another relaxing weekend. I’m also looking forward to Monday, our IVF consultation
with our new doctor! We will be meeting
him for the first time and I really hope that he has some new ideas for
us. I am going to push for PGS testing,
which is all that I really want. For those
of you not familiar, PGS testing is Preimplantation Genetic Screening, it
screens the chromosomes of the embryos for abnormalities (i.e. abnormal # of chromosomes Trisomy 21). It’s common testing done for
people with multiple failed IVF cycles like we’ve had. I’m interested to hear what type of protocol
he is going to recommend. I already know
that they want fewer follicles than I had last time. I had 34 and they want me to have about
10-15. I was definitely overstimulated
with 34 follicles which could’ve been the cause of the failed cycle. I will definitely post an update after the
appointment!
A wine and chocolate pairing sounds like the perfect way to perk things up in this dreary cold weather, enjoy!
