.... and the fun continues...

Day 9 - went back for u/s and still not much progress. So once again they up'ed my doses. Day 10 - just continued injections Day 11- went back for another u/s there was a bit of progress yay, but still just moving really slowly! They up'ed my follistem one more time and said come back in two days. Day 12 - Injections and patience, this day though I started having some cramping and just sharp pains.. I had a feeling something was happenening! Day 13 - u/s FINALLY what we wanted to see, The DR. was excited I had about 8-10 follicles showing that were atleast 20mm! When I told him I was having cramping he said that good, your body is shocked cause you have never had ovaries this big before!!! So it was time!! He said we are lucky we got it just right, cause alot of times you can overstimulate and we were a little to close to that, but he was satisfied, they took my estrogen levels and I waited for the call to know if they were going to schedule my Egg Retrieval for MONDAY!! EEk!! Saturday about 12:30PM I got the call everything looks good it's a GO!! I did my trigger shot Saturday night! OUCH! Sunday I get the day off, NO injections! Just oral Medications, and I go in MONDAY morning bright and early! So excited the day has come!

..... Here we go....

So it's FINALLY here!! Monday Jan 17th, I started my injections. I started off with Follistem & Repronex! I honestly was terrified! I HATE shots! I didn't know how on earth I was going to be able to do this. Thank goodness for Dustin and him having NO fear! He actually admitted yest, that he liked doing the shots! haha, Of course he would! So summary so far....Day 1 - Eh not so bad! After I stopped laughing Dust did the injections and it wasn't as bad as I pictured! Day 2-3 Ok also, minus the fact at this point I had a constant headache, that I just couldn't get rid of, nothing helped! Day 4 - u/s no progress :( but they said it's normal, especially with PCOS, they just like to watch and make sure. Day 5- I added another injection Cetrotide to the mix. Not to bad, I'm just tender on my belly where all the shots have been, and bruised, headache still there :( Day 6 - Woke up feeling re-freshed, no headache!! Wahoo. Day 7 - continued Day 8 - next u/s Still not to much progress, I still have a gazzillion follicles, and the biggest is only a 10. So tonight I up my dose of Follistem, and return tomorrow morning for another u/s.... So that's my progress so far, Keeping my head high.. They said that having PCOS it can take a little longer to get the follicles ready... Hoping that things progess....

Woah, Jam Packed weekend!

What a weekend!! So Friday morning I had my first Dr. Appt for u/s #1 for my IVF cycle! Eek, I start all Meds Monday.... Then I get a phone call from my CUTE little Grandma, inviting me to go to the Jazz vs. Cavs game that night, not only is it the Jazz game they are tickets in the executive suite front row! They serve full meals, constant drinks during the game, and desert at half time.. You had to dress all up! It was an experience I have never had before... and an awesome one at that! It was so much fun spending time with my Grandma! She's just the sweetest thang! And she LOVES her JAZZ!! She was like a little girl in a candy shop, I loved being able to be there with her!
Then Saturday mid-morning I had a Valentines craft day with all my girlfriends!! It was so good getting together with them all!! We all painted wood crafts and glitterfied them! It's always a fun time! Everyone's crafts turned out extremely CUTE! ;-) I wish I had taken pictures!! I am really horrible at that!! Someday I will get better!
So Then my excitement continued on thru Saturday night... Amie and I went to dinner @ The Olive Garden... Delicious! Then were off to see Spring Awakening... It's a musical! I absolutely LOVED IT!!! It was really risk-ay! Like young people should NOT see this! But We had a blast!! It was really entertaining!! Then afterwards we blasted my glee tunes and drove around for atleast an hr. singing our guts out!! Honestly I lost my voice from singing so loudly! lol
It was a JAM packed GIRLS weekend!! ;-) I had so much fun!! I honestly couldn't have done more! And it kept my mind occupied for the upcoming Monday...

A new GLEEK right here!

January, I have been waiting for YOU, as you will see with my posts ;)!! So this month has been good, exciting, nerve wrecking all at the same time!! So let's start off with my new obsession... GLEE!! Amie my sister-n-law has always loved Glee and has told me to watch it, cause if you didn't know I just love Musical stuff! I always blew it off and never did, I know rude right! Well for Christmas she got the whole first season, so she said take this home and watch it, Sooooo, That was a mistake!! lol. The next week Dustin went snowboarding so I figured what the hey... AND BOOM instant LOVE! I watched it from 1pm to 2 am NON-STOP.. Dust had come home and went right to sleep and I couldn't stop, I just watched and watched!! I finished 22 episodes in 2 days!! I guess I should say One night into the morning! lol that's almost 22 hrs, I know I know, Did I feel lazy sitting there for that long watching, YES! But could I stop, NO!! So instantly I was hooked! And became OBSESSED, I will fully admit it, I mean look I am BLOGGING about it!! lol I instantly feel in love with the characters and the singing, oh oh and dancing! So I bought season one, YAY! And I bought all of the music from the show, DOUBLE YAY! And I have been jamming out to it ever since!! I also found the first half of season 2 TRIPLE YAYA! on Hulu.... watched those within the week, I am all caught up and Sooo ready for the second half of season 2 to begin after the superbowl, what what!! I know I sound crazy, but It really helped to take my mind of the stresses of the upcoming events and just enjoy the time being! It made me feel really good, I'm I cheesy enough yet... I know!! ;-) But it's official I am a GLEEK!

This is the newest picture of little Miss Ryleigh... I can't believe that she is already 2 months old! Wowzer! She is just a cutie! She is starting to smile and respond back with coo's and noises, she's trying to find her giggles and voice! It's adorable! She gets so excited when you talk to her, she just grins and kicks and squills!! I have had sooo much fun making things for her!! I am going crazy, I think we will be in TROUBLE if I have a girl first! lol, They are too much fun!! I am have made a ton of the Korker bows, I am lovin' them. I have also done fabric flowers of all sorts! If any one knows any other bow types let me know! ;o) I have also made her a bunch of leggings! They are so fun & adorable!! In the picture she's wearing my makings ;o) My next project is to make her some shoes!! I will let you know how those turn out!! Ryleigh is all around a good baby!! Unless of course Kirst has Diary!! Then her tummy get's upset and she's not a happy camper! And yes you must watch out for her projectile puke! It can get ya!! hee hee.. But I sure do love being an AUNTIE! It's been lots of fun to have a baby around again! We are still working on trying to get a cousin here for Mase & Ry and of course more importantly for Me & Dust!!

Here are a few more pictures of little Ry!

I love her! This picture cracks me up! She just loves lounging, and being sprawled out when she's sleeping! Cute like Popeye!! (she sleeps with one eye a little bit open) So Me and Aunt Mill Mill call her "Popeye"! ;o) Her G'ma Roberts always calls her "Girlfriend" (and you have to say like a snotty person) or "Punkie Bruster" lol! We will see what sticks! hee hee! Just a little update...

Bryce Canyon

Dust and I went down to Bryce Canyon this past weekend! Can you believe that I have lived in Utah my whole life and have never been down there!! Pretty SAD! It's beautiful!! Dustin's Mom is down there working at the park, so we went down to visit with her and see the sites! We actually ended up going on a small and I mean TINY private airplane ride!! It was pretty awesome! But I had to try my very hardest to pull myself together at times! It was scary, and a lot more of a bumpy ride that I had expected! The first half I was trying my hardest to keep down whatever was in my tummy! I succeeded, phewy! The plane ride took us over Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, & Lake Powell... It was pretty amazing! I can't believe how HUGE Lake Powell is!! Gorgeous! Someday I will go there too! ;) Oh and at night, they say that down there its the darkest sky so you can see the stars soo brightly!! It was just breath taking! I could have sat out there and looked at the stars for hours! Dust and I had a blast down there it was a nice weekend getaway!! Here are a few of the pictures I took...
