Kimbosue's Blog has MOOOOOVED!
**As of November 9, 2009, please find me at my new home below.**
Some posts are pw protected, so for the super secret decoder pen....ahem... code, please email me at kimbosue2 AT hotmail DOT com.
This blog will remain open. The link is still tied to lots of IF blogs, groups, and websites. I hope someone can read through my journey and find hope and strength and know that there is a light at the end of the IF tunnel. Prayer is the key! I love all my IF girlies I met along the way, and I hope to keep your friendships going forward during this next chapter of Mommyhood. I hope to see you there!

So I had my last glass of wine last night... I would have preferred it be a better tasting, better maker, better type, and better flavor.....Alas, it was all that Bu.ddy Ru.ff's could muster up for me. It was both a sad and a happy time. Happy because it means I may be pregnant for the next 10 months and have my very own baby! And sad because we are such wine lovers and I will miss it...Remember this Good Day and this Winery Weekend??? We have tons of bottles we have yet to drink from our winery trips, not to mention our very own homemade wine that is still resting peacefully in the wine rack. A more positive thought is that by the time I CAN drink it, it will be more aged and taste even better!
This was brought on because a friend had told me that her doc said she could have a glass of red wine every day of her pregnancy. My RN sister told me last night, more like 1 a month. This got me curious as I have never actually asked my doc, however Google MD provided me with ample information:
Do Not Drink Alcohol While Pregnant
Do Not Drink Alcohol While Pregnant
Do Not Drink Alcohol While Pregnant
Do Not Drink Alcohol While Pregnant
All of the above articles, obviously had the same message: ANY amount of alcohol can hurt your baby. So to all my friends and family - this makes me your official DD!! The 2WW has officially began!
Mel at Stirrup Queens and Sperm Jesters posted a "Fess Up Week" post during her Friday Round Up. I would like to do the same. For all you lurkers, stalkers, readers, however you want to categorize yourself.... FESS UP! Let me know that I am at least a tiny bit interesting and that you do stop by from time to time and read the ramblings of my life!

So this is only 5DPIUI and I am already dreading this blasted 2WW thing! How does anyone survive it? I have been goog.ling various ideas other women have during this time. Most try to do ANYTHING but think about the 2WW and the looming POAS urges! Some re-organize their cabinets, write letters they've been putting off, go shopping....and still others give in to temptation and buy HPT's in bulk! I only have 1 leftover from past testing days and I think I can hear it calling to me from under the sink!!! LOL
I think it's still too early for me to have any PG symptoms per se, and I don't want to jinx myself in the least bit.... But I do feel like I have one - this weird ass metallic taste in my mouth. Today, I first thought it was maybe some bad lettuce from my salad at lunch, but even after drinking throughout the day, it still has not gone away. That makes me hopeful since Dr. Google says it is sometimes known to happen to PG women.
We don't have any St. Paddy's Day plans specifically...hopefully hubby can grab some green beer somewhere just for posterity's sake. And maybe I'll indulge myself in an O'Doul's!
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
I was a nervous wreck all morning. The swimmer clinic processed the guys in about 45 minutes. We then had to transport them the 2 blocks back to Dr. H's office. They have to be kept warm so Dean kept them in his pocket with his hand around them.
The actual process only took about 5 minutes. When we were done, Dean says, "So was it as good for you as it was for me?" I say, "It was awesome!" Dr. H and his nurse cracked up at that one! Then I had to lay still on my back for 20 minutes. There was only a little bit of pain because everything was tender from ovulating. Cramps lasted about 2 hours afterwards, and that was it! I laid on the couch all day long hoping to help the guys swim to their goal!
I go next Wednesday for blood work to check my progesterone and then again the following Wednesday for a pregnancy test! Oh the dreaded 2 week wait begins!
Grateful for:
- My awesome RE who made this cycle an option for us.
- Husband's increased swimmer counts - his count, motility, and morphology were better than they have ever been!
- The prayers and support from my family and friends.
