Holey Schmoley.
Pain - in - The - ASS!!! (pardon my french and most of you know generally I NEVER swear)
My right but cheek has now been sore for 17 hours, after ONE shot....and this is going to continue EVERY day! And tomorrow I get TWO?!
(hope that started off everyone's day somewhat humorously)

go go go!
we're a go!!! had our last ultra-sound today before the procedure. the dr said my uterus looked 'perfect' and then when the nurse looked at the picture later she said it was 'awesome'! :) never thought i'd want a perfect or awesome looking uterus before but boy did that make us happy!
so got a new bag of drugs, injections, prescriptions...new circles drawn on my behind so Ryan remembers where to stick me and we're set to go!
transfer date is 8/1. one more blood test before then, holey smokes that amount of drugs both injected and oral, is crazy...but we're getting excited!

fertility fairy update
it's been a while since we talked about the fertility fairy...being a pin cushion seems to just be a normal thing these days so haven't thought much of it.
we're back into the IVF process....about a month later than we thought...(well 9 months really if you count when we first started!)...we started our drugs, and injections again about 3 weeks ago, blood tests and ultra sounds started last week...and if everything goes as planned (fingers crossed for a good uterine lining) we have our transfer date scheduled for 8/1...strict bed-rest, followed by moderate bed-rest...and then (please please please please) we'll find out around mid August whether or not we're 'chemically' pregnant...and then a week or so after that find out whether or not whether or not it's implanted fully.
we've gotten a bunch of questions on whether or not we're excited...and i'm not sure that we are quite yet. probably apprehensive is a little more accurate. you figure we've 'almost' gotten here so many times with so many hang ups, i don't think we'll quite believe we're actually 'there' until i'm lying on the table. :)
fingers (and toes!) crossed! here we go again!!! :)

drat
the back bathroom sink just busted open and is spouting water both above and below the sink.
(sigh) perhaps today isn't a good day for home improvements?

poor husband
Poor Ryan dripped sweat yesterday on 2 cabinet doors, has to sand them down and paint them all over again. Then bought new paint today but from a different company (Sherwin Williams vs. Benjamin Moore) apparently a very different consistency because mixing in the same ratio with paint thinner and the using the paint gun resulted in super drippy doors...which also need to be sanded down completely now and painted all over again. :(
slow progress. couple backward steps to move forward again!

Portland.Oregon.
Gotta love the P.O.!!!
After a fun filled VERY busy fun filled 5 days with Rye's folks we dropped them off at the airport and promptly made our way down to Portland. We LOVE Oregon. It was one of our favorite getaways when we were in Seattle, and since one of the things we miss the most being in Hawaii is just DRIVING and being able to go somewhere other than around the perimeter of the island we decided to make a quick Portland getaway.
Here's what we loved:
 |
| no garbage at this burger joint, just compost and cans |
 |
| our favorite lodging - Northrup Inn (note huge jar of candy on every table) |
 |
| totally green recycled material Keen store |
 | |
incredibly bike friendly town |
 |
| covered bike parking |
 |
| Pet friendly too! cute poop station |
 | |||||||
| covered leash area so your dog doesn't have to wait in the rain while you market |
 |
| homemade vanilla soda and chocolate malt (did i mention we bent our diet a little?) |
 |
| you would never find a terrarium store in hawaii |
 | ||
HUGE anthropologie!!! (Stacy's heaven)
|
 |
| THREE different plastic recycling bins |
 |
| tax free shopping! |
 |
| super original eateries |
 |
| orgasmic grilled cheese sandwich (did i mention we bent our diet a little?) |
