I Have the Best Timing

After all the issues we had with the pharmacy on Wednesday, it did not surprise me that when I went to the doctor yesterday that they would tell me I would be ready for my IUI on Sunday. The one day a year my clinic is closed. The nurse gave me some options as to what I could do. I asked her what she thought would give me the most success. I continued with another 75ius of Menopur last night and this afternoon, I will give myself the HCG shot. We will go in tomorrow morning for the IUI and then have to send in reinforcements on our own on Sunday. As embarrassed as I am to have just typed that, I feel like the world already knows everything that is going on with our infertility journey, so what is one more piece of information?

Yesterday was my day to finish up Christmas shopping while Jake went to daycare. He had fun and I was productive! I have all my presents wrapped and under the tree. I think Joe still has a few presents for Jake to wrap, and then we are all set for Christmas. We are heading to my parents' house tomorrow night, waking up at our house Sunday, and then off to Joe's aunt and uncle's house later in the day. We spent last Sunday celebrating Christmas early with Joe's mom, step-dad, his brother, and his grandparents. This year we wil not see them on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

I have had to explain to Jake a few times that he will not see his cousin, Hailey, tomorrow, for Christmas. It is her year to be with her mom on Christmas and will be with Matt between Christmas and New Year's Day. He knows that she has a step-mom and step-dad and lives in two different houses. He is still trying to understand that he doesn't always get to see her when he sees Jordan and Paige. We get to head to St. Cloud on New Year's Day to celebrate with her. It will be fun to see all four cousins together and the excitement that the holidays bring.

Wish us luck for tomorrow (and Sunday)! Happy Holidays!
