Chris and Maddie's Amazing Journey- Still on Track

Saturday 3/14/09 -  STILL ON TRACK
 
 
So the doc said yesterday that my estrogen is a little low, so we are bumping up to 0.3cc and hoping that I don’t ovulate over the weekend.
 
Today my ovulation test was negative so we are still on track. My IVF nurse says pending the estrogen level getting higher we may still be on for a transfer on Friday or possibly Monday. It is getting so close I can hardly stand it!!
 
This weekend has begun with a bang. Chris’s parents- Pop and Deb came in yesterday around lunchtime to spend the weekend with us, and later today we are expecting a houseful. An aunt from Savannah, GA , an aunt and cousin from Johnson City, TN, another cousin from Kingsland, GA, and then of course the normal fair of his mom and Stan, his uncle Rick and his Aunt Margaret. Pop’s (Chris’s dad) birthday was yesterday so we ended up going out for BBQ and later on tonight when the rest of the fam gets here we are going out for Japanese to celebrate his birthday. Should be fun with the show the staff normally puts on.
 
Chris is feeling pretty good today, still very tired, but slowly but surely he is coming out of recovery from his surgery a few weeks ago.
 
Later today Chris stepmom, Deb and I are going to see a friend about a tattoo for Deb. She is thinking about fairy and possibly a moon, with Chris’s name placed somewhere in it. She is planning on putting in on her back. This is her first tattoo so this should be interesting. The best advice I could give is # 1 don’t think it’s not going to hurt and # 2 Breathe.
 
Besides, the pain only lasts a little while and in my experience- it was well worth it.
