Mother's Day

We had my mom & Tony and Ashley & Tom over for brunch this morning. The weather was perfect, so we even got to sit outside and enjoy it for awhile. All in all - a good Mother's Day. The morning was a little hectic because I had to go back to the doctor to check the progress of the follicles AND get all the stuff ready for brunch. Luckily, Michael's pretty handy in the kitchen.

The ultrasound showed that the 2 follicles on the right are lookin' good - 19.6 and 16.5. The left side was still quiet. The nurse was one of the nicest and most thorough that I've had there. She said - oooh, it looks like you get to have a trigger shot for Mother's Day! It was cute - she was seriously excited. My bloodwork all came back fine, so I'll do the trigger shot tonight. Our IUI is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.

I had to laugh at the sheet with the instructions that they gave me. It says what to do on what days. The line that cracked me up says:

Day 2 (day after trigger) - it's a free day! No injections, no bloodwork, no ultrasound, no intercourse.
Guess I should be relieved that it's a day we don't HAVE to. ;-) Lumping it in with those fun things like injections just made me laugh. (Michael, I promise I don't think of it that way!)
