Today marks the official start date of our IVF cycle! I gave myself the first Lupron injection this morning..the first of seemingly endless injections. Our bathroom currently looks like the supply closet of your local hospital...bright red biohazard needle disposal bin and all! And thank God for that little red bin...it is the only thing that would separate us from a drug house in the event of a random police raid. Seriously. Needles everywhere. Even in the fridge...the FRIDGE! Anyway, I am hoping that this will finally make time feel like it is moving a little more quickly. Our countdown is now 23 days until retrieval!!! That's nothing, right?
As for my "30 Days" list, I am actually moving right along. First thing crossed off is taking a break from Facebook. I deactivated my account several days ago and haven't looked back. It is SO refreshing. I don't miss those 67 (identical) pictures of your newborn everyday, bitch. I ordered the books on my list and am awaiting their arrival. Supersaver free shipping is great but I'm pretty sure it must actually be coming BY ship...somehow..to Texas. Because it is taking forever. I have had a lunchdate with my mom and an unexpected get together with both of my parents...so #26 on the list is headed in the right direction. #27 can be crossed off as well...Matt and I took Bevo to the park we have been meaning to visit and had a GREAT time walking along the trails and letting Bevo run off the leash. We will definitely be going back. We watched two more episode of the The Wire last night...so #16 is getting there.
What I am MOST excited about is #1...learning to knit! I successfully mastered the basic stitches/skills this weekend with the help of YouTube and the sole beginner kit they had left at Hobby Lobby (pictured below). Bevo is thrilled. Also a special shoutout to my husband for getting me from Diagram 7.5 to Diagram 8.0. There were tears involved. I swear I need to go into a new business....doing the illustrations for assembly and how-to instruction booklets. Whoever does them now is a complete idiot. Just sayin. And yes, it must be just ONE person that does EVERY instruction manual out there...because they ALL suck. Anyway back to knitting...I am SO excited to make tons of cute stuff..perhaps for a future baby..?? In the meantime I'll keep you posted on the status of project number one...the dog scarf.
Lights. Camera. ACTION!
