Sorry...

I am just dropping in for a few minutes to tell you that the giveaway and guessing will have to be held over.

Turtle is very sick.

We went to the docs yesterday, they changed up her meds and sent us home.

We were up all night going back and forth with a fever of 104.

We have to take her back to the Pediatrician this afternoon because she has since developed a terrible rash.

Please say a little prayer for my girl as I know that she is just about as over being sick, as I am watching her be sick.

She is totally passed out on the couch right now.

Not like her at all.

I have NEVER felt so helpless in my whole life.

Ramblings

Turtle is sick. I mean she never got better and has gotten worse since Monday. Tonight she spiked a fever, and I broke out the tylenol. We have her One Year appointment in the morning so I am trying to not freak out to much. As I sit here listening through the monitor the poor girl is trying so hard to sleep... coughing keeps waking her up. Poor baby.

I got a letter this Monday stating I owe taxes for something that was SUPPOSED to be tax-exempt. Gotta love the way Social Services lies to you. It is to the tune of about 16 grand. Made my freaking day. What a crock of shit... many letters are about to fly from my hot little fingers over this.

Kent is failing 2 classes, and not a single teacher called to tell me. I guess they have decided that high school puts the parents out of the loop. What a Joke!! This is supposed to be an Honors School. May be going back to the mainstream High School next fall if this keeps up.

My ass cheeks are killing me from the PIO shots. I lost 10 pounds this week, but my girth has managed to increase daily?? Wonder what that is all about. Not sure if any of the Stooges hung out yet, but I keep carrying that hope in my heart.

On a good note, the banner that I have to the side about Little Miss Hailey?? Well, I just got news last night that the surrogate is currently getting positive HPT's and will be having her Beta in the morning. I could not be happier, and it needed to happen now. If any of my readers helped them out, I want you to know that I will forever remain grateful for whatever you did. I can not imagine that little girl losing her battle after all it took to get her here!!

I totally scored the whole collection of Fraggle Rock on DVD today... I am gonna have a BLAST watching those with Turtle when they come!! I LOVE FRAGGLE ROCK!!!

I guess that I will give you all until the afternoon to comment on Turtle's stats... here are the other visits stats:

Birth:
6 lbs 15 ozs
19 1/2 inches long

2 Months:
10.6 lbs
22 1/2 inches long

4 Months:
14.2 lbs
25 1/4 inches long

6 Months:
16.5 lbs
27 1/2 inches long

9 months:
19 lbs
29 inches long

I will tell you that mommy is short, 5'4", and daddy is 6' even. So if you want to play, make your guesses, there is something in it for you I promise!!

Baby it's cold IN here....

The heat pump took a shit this weekend... OK it was really like 2 weeks ago, but we have been nursing it along trying to get to warmer weather... Ha, it is supposed to snow tomorrow!

So Clark uncorked his ass, and we are getting a brand spanking new Trane heat pump put in. It will be so nice when they are done, and we can turn it on, cuz right now it is about 55 degrees in this house, and I left my toes in the living room 20 minutes ago!!

I am contemplating ways to hunt down the man... because it had to be a man who came up with PIO. Sadistic pig. This stuff is pure evil I tell ya. I mean you have to inflict physical harm to inject it, and then it screws with your body, tricking it in into thinking "Oh we must be pregnant, this is what pregnant feels like." Yeah no freaking kidding. Never mind that I am only 3 days post transfer and there is no way that I could have any HCG in my system. Hell Larry, Moe and Curly were just late last night or early today, blasts capable of hatching (hence that being my excuse for massive sushi consumption Friday night!!).

So the PIO has to be the reason I have turned into a full on Bitch... oh no wait I am like that all the time, but my inner Bitch has let her filter go, and that does not bode well for the penis bearing members of the species. My physical body is convinced that it is pregnant, the brain however knows better, and the conflict this is causing is shear madness.... the other reason I feel that a man had to have invented the crap, they love to see us all in a tizzy.

So Clark has been great about the shots, and is actually quite good at them. He is in and out in like 2 minutes..... :o)

Turtle has bean a royal bear all weekend, due to the cold and ear infection, so while she is the cutest little thing on the planet, my nerves have been shot with all the crying. Her fever finally broke Saturday, but she still carried her foul mood over. She has her one year Well Baby Visit this coming Thursday, yeah I know late, but they wanted to do it the 20th, and well I was having a huge needle shoved up my girlie bits early on the 20th, not to sure I could have concentrated!!

So I am thinking about having a contest to see who can guess her stats, if this sounds like something you would like to jump in on, let me know so that I can decide tonight where I want to go with this. Love and hugs from the Infertile House!!!

Larry, Moe, and Curly

3 on Board.

PUPO- Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise.

Larry, Moe, and Curly.

There were still 5 this morning, so we picked the top 3.

1-7 cell stage 5

1-6 cell stage 5

1-4 cell stage 3

So not amazing, but good just the same. None to freeze as the other 2 just weren't really doing much of anything.

We discussed the fertilization issue, and I will go into it further later, but she said... "Uh yeah you are getting old."

I love Dr. OvaryWhisperer she just has a way with words... as she was saying it so was I.

So please say a little prayer that at least one of these little ones decides to hang out for say forever.....

Off to bed!!

Transfer in the morning....

Or so I am going to assume.

When I called today I was told that all 5 embies were still going.

Not sure if I can believe that.

We have to be there at 7 AM.

Clark and I have discussed and agree that we are going to ask for 3 to transfer this time.

I am sure we won't have any to freeze.

I need this to work.

I am honestly not sure if I can go through this again. All the shots and drugs, the hormonal mood swings. Not to mention the huge toll it takes on my heart when it doesn't work.

Infertility really Effin sucks!!
