Hello, I want to take this opportunity to do a couple of things. First, I have just returned from my Jenny Craig consult for this week. I didn't do a consult last week nor did I use the JC foods. I have lost 5 more pounds for a total of 12 in the 6 weeks. That was my goal, 2 lbs a week so I feel really good about that right now. I don't know what happend right but I sure am glad.
Secondly, I attended a baby tea for my best friend in the whole world. We have been friends since we were 13 and spent a great deal of time together in our early 20's at the end of the first marriage for both of us. She is the greatest lady in the world. Her name is Cheryl. She knew that DH and I had been trying to conceive for several months when she and her DH decided that the time was right. She conceived her first month trying and has been an absolute doll when it comes to my feelings. She even acted somewhat reluctant to tell me she was pg at first. But, to be honest. I have never felt a twinge of envy toward her. She has been very careful to plan her life and get her life together before bringing a child into the world. My admiration for her just starts there and goes way to deep for me to explain all of that here. Anyway, I got her a bunch of Mickey Mouse things since one of our vacations together was to Disney World in 1992. She has been several times since then and knows that I collect lots of Disney things. She really looks pregnant and just as gorgous as ever. We acted like school girls while she tried to put on some hose to wear to the tea. We giggled and giggled as if we were little girls pretending. It was awesome. I was terrified I was going to hurt her feelings and tried to explain that I was laughing at her but with her. She is quite humurous anyway. She confirmed that she understood but reminded me that when my time come she would be calling me in my 9th month to ask me how many times I had worn panty hose!!! Like I said, we had a blast!!!! I love you, Cheryl!
Lastly, the whole reason for being here!! I went to the doc last Friday and the news there is pretty slim. We will try one more IUI for now and see what happens. I may even have another HSG (dye-test) to make sure my tubes are open before we do this IUI. No need in wasting precious time and money. If by some chance we conceive this month, the baby would be due very close to my father's birthday. My dad passed when I was 19 and he and I were very close. Nothing would please me more than to deliver a child on his birthday. If this IUI doesn't work, well, who knows. My doc is recommending a procedure called ICSI which as I understand it is part of the IVF process. I am still real unsure mainly because it is very expensive and I am praying I don't need to know any more about it than its name. I am seeing images of AF here and there so I guess tomorrow will be CD#1 for me and we will be on with the game plan.
So, that is my life in a nut shell right now. Hopefully all of you are doing good. I look forward to hearing from you guys on my board!!!
Love,
Jerri Ann
