IUI? check

So this morning we had our IUI done and it went smoothly. Although not pain free, it was quick and I was okay today. When we were trying to get pregnant with Chase the IUI's left me feeling awful and unable to really move around. My uterus is retroverted and quite hard to access. But having a child changes things and made it much easier. But.. alas, easy for my body wasn't necessarily 'easy'. Thank goodness for family and friends. We were able to leave Chase with Aunt Marcia and little cousin Connor for both our appointments this morning. Chase adores them and didn't even think twice about saying goodbye to mommy and daddy-daddy as we left. I'm so proud. We went out for a little lunch after so I didn't have to cook anything for Chase till I was sure I could move around without too much discomfort. And he fell asleep at 1:30 and slept till 5:00pm. He loves his naps and he always needs them after playing with his "fwiends" as he calls them. I slept that whole time. He woke up happy as a little clam, although it did mess with his bedtime tonight, keeping him up till almost 9pm.
So the big news?? We should know if it worked in about two weeks time. They scheduled me for a pregnancy test November 29. They want me to take one at home then come in for bloodwork and if it didn't work we would do a baseline ultrasound that day and order meds right away. We only have a bit more time with this insurance so we won't take a break at all while we have it. But we are really of course hoping we don't need to do that and that we will just have baby news. We shall see. Thank you all that checked in on me today and are sending baby dust and wishes and praying for our little family. We are beyond blessed and so thankful for you all. XOXO

more! blood.. more pills! mmmmm more baby please??

More blood work done today :-) The three of us all went in together on our way to church this morning. Lots of Sunday clothes and a pair of killer high heels. The testing today was the FSH test. My DR and I had decided not to have this done since I'm so young and because we had a healthy baby already. BUT we found out that the insurance will not do anything with our treatments till they have the results of that test. So okay then! Blood work it is. ALSO I started Clomid today. 2 pills a day day 3 through 7.  I can't believe its all happening finally!! I'm actually ON medicine. And i'm nearly ready to inject myself!! All for the sake of baby #2 whom I miss dearly. I feel like there is a little spirit missing from our home and I cannot wait to have him here.

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!??? Chase went to nursery today. HAPPILY! As in.. Sean took him over.. He was ready to get mad then he saw his sweet cousin Connor going in! Ummm CONNOR!! YAY! Chase adores his cousin. (Well Connor is really Sean's cousin.. HUGE age gap.. about 28 years) So anyhow! Seeing his cousin's little friendly face made all the difference in the world! And he was happy to go! And when I went to get him? He wasn't rushing to us or struggling to get out of the teacher's arms. He was super casual about it. (WAY ADORABLE) We are so proud of him!!!
