Wrap it Up

Finally Friday. Thanks goodness. We're off to my parent's little vacation house on the water, which is a great get-away. We'd been hoping to ask some friends to come with us, but time got away during a busy week, and here we are on Friday, hoping to head down after work. We've actually spent a lot of time with my parents down there, and have really enjoyed just hanging out as the four of us. Wierd...I actually like my parents. As friends. Scary.

A few thoughts that have been floating around my head, that I need to do something with. {I'm an on-and-off yoga student, and one of the things they emphasize is to 'acknowledge' a thought when it enters your mind, and then release it, so you can keep your mind clear. This is a serious challenge to me, the obsessor. Still working on it.}

• Course of treatment in IVF. A simple question, but unclear, which makes me wonder a bit about how the rest of this cycle will go. Dr.'s instructions were for me and J to start the antibiotics as soon as they arrived. 10 days, 2 times a day. Simple. So we started yesterday. Then last night, I'm re-reading the mountain of instructions and contracts that we need to sign, and the general IVF instruction sheet says that the partner should take the antibiotics {no mention of moi} starting the same day as when I take the Lupron. Which makes sense...to clear up any possible infections before, um, making a donation. A bit of conflicting info. So I just called the clinic, and there's no nurse in the office yet. After 9 on a Friday morning? I think that's kind of odd. Or, again, it could be obsessive-me shining through.
• Conflicting emotions when pregnant? Attended a lovely baby shower this past weekend for an old friend. I was very excited, as I'd made a quilt for the soon-to-arrive baby girl, and had a few other cute gifts. And overall, mommy-to-be didn't seem real excited about anything. Not just the gifts, but about the baby in general. And I know she must be thrilled, but perhaps having some anxiety? Meanwhile, all of us non-moms are begging for details, asking her to show us here belly , talking boobs, etc. Needless to say, the men were grossed out. Big time.
