Oh.. Hey there

Okay, admittedly it's been a while.. But there just hasn't been much to report- I've been trying to get in tip top shape to start IVF, and have managed to become the most boring 32 year old woman in existence.

I've given up:
- carbs
- refined sugar
- bacon/deli meat/nitrates
- caffeine 
- booze of any kind 
- hot baths and showers
- hot butt in my car
- more than 1200 calories a day
- fun/parties/not being in bed by 10 pm (and by 10, I mean 8:30)

My husband has done the same- we are quite the pair. Want to go out for a beer? Nope. See a 10:00 movie? HA! How about just a coffee then? You, good sir, are hilarious.

I plan on wearing the crown to my scheduling appointment on Tuesday. We will have a baseline scan, blood draw, get our schedule, attend Needle School and then grab a $10,000 box of meds. BCP ends Feb 19- and then we wait. I haven't eagerly awaited my period this much since I was in college. 


It's here, people. Let the games begin.
