June 21, 2000

Hi. everybody! Well, I called my doctor for an appointment and I have one August 15! She had an opening in July but it wasn't at a good time for me and so I have to wait until August. So I guess we will keep trying on our own until then. Who knows, maybe by then we will have gotten lucky!

The summer is going by so quickly. I don't think that we are even going to have a chance to get to Canada this summer. At the end of July we are going to host my grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversary. That should be fun, I think maybe we will do a dinner cruise from the Navy Pier.

I am so excited about going to Germany and London in August. We haven't booked our tickets yet because we wanted to make sure that we would still be in Chicago in August. However, I think we will probably have to book them soon.

I am also hoping to make a quick trip up to Minnesota. My best friend and her boyfriend are driving some furniture down to her mom at the end of July and I hope I can get up there to have a little visit. I think it may coincide with my grandparents’ 60th, so it looks like I may have my hands full then.

Last weekend we went to this HUGE outlet mall. I am the queen of the outlet malls, we have one close to us here but it's not very big. Last weekend we discovered a gigantic one, it was great. I'm going to have to stop bringing my husband with me, though, because he bought more than I did again!

It's cycle day 9 for me so we are getting ready for BD time. It's hard to get too excited because I've almost lost all hope that we are going to be able to do this "on our own." But who knows, so I'll cross my fingers and enjoy myself – hee hee. Michel told me last night that he thought we would be pregnant in the next year. Gee, I hope so because if we can't get pregnant after two and a half years then we are in real trouble!

Have a great week!
Heidi
