Grace in Small Things (And an FET Update): April 5, 2013
1. My husband's organizing the garage this evening, and instead of having me help he gave me one of those fire logs he found on a shelf in there and told me to go try out our new fireplace and relax. Ahhh...lovely to do just that. Can I tell you how much I LOVE having a fireplace? The warmth of a fire is just the best thing ever.
2. So hard living in a new place and doing an FET. I had to get an ultrasound and blood work today and instead of Colorado where everyone knows me and everything take half an hour max start to finish, I'm going to an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. The guy who did my blood draw, it took him literally half an hour to get my paperwork together, I was getting so antsy, but then he drew my blood perfectly the first time...I have terrible veins so that is an accomplishment, AND it didn't even hurt. I am definitely asking for him next time I go back. And my ultrasound, I just need information on my lining for the fertility clinic, but they spent half an hour looking at every possible thing that could be looked at. Sigh. But the good news is my lining is developing great...so great they actually want to push my transfer up a few days...which is awesome but also somewhat of a logistical nightmare...I had it all figured out who is going to watch the kids, who is going to take care of me, I had a plane ticket and days scheduled off work and now I've got to start from scratch, but it's OK, my body is responding, I have a good chance of being pregnant again (so soon! It's crazy!), that's all that matter...logistics...I am good at logistics...
3. Beautiful spring weather (70s) down here, I am loving it. And I spent some time today going through the kids' clothes and packing away everything that no longer fits them/is designed for snowy winters, which was a lot. Now I know what I need to get for summer...and shopping for kids clothes is so fun (we do a lot of it second-hand...you can find such amazing things...)
4. Bright peacock blue bedside table lamps are new in our bedroom today...I am loving the color...
5. The kids "helped" me make spaghetti sauce this morning (for the crock pot) and ate it like crazy for dinner tonight. What a mess...but at the same time, they were so incredibly cute with sauce all over their faces...and they ate well which isn't a given these days...they have been cranky all week since they got SIX shots each on Monday...ugh...but still, the best babies ever...
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Thanks for spending some time here this week!
XOXO
