Today, at 9:40 AM, my little baby AK turned 3 years old. Three already, I can't believe it.
AND, Kristen, over at Buck up Butturcup got a HUGE BFP today!!!!!!
Happiness. :)
I can't wait for more of those to roll in, because I know they're out there. Maybe even one for me????? (hint, hint, infertility universe).
I got my call from the nurse. Transfer is scheduled for 11:30 AM on Tuesday, but I have to show up there at 11:00 with a full bladder. It's going to be a busy two week wait for me. We've got a combined birthday party for myself and Princess Adele Fussy Pants on Sunday the 14th. It won't be the first party we've had here at the 'Doctor Willia.m Harr.is'* residence, but it will be the biggest one so far, if we can get everyone to attend. It will also be the first time some of my rather stuck up relatives will see the house, so you know, it's got to look all perty.
I have begun my preparation for this time the best I can so far. Yesterday I cleaned the upstairs bathroom, including all the somewhat harsh chemicals that are only needed infrequently. Hubby will only have to touch it up for the party. The rest of today and Monday will involve heavy floor cleaning, because due to bleeding and spotting I've had during pregnancies in the past, especially right after vacuuming, I am justifiably wary of cleaning them after transfer. After transfer, and a very brief rest, I'll probably continue straitening, laundry, dusting, window cleaning, stuff that doesn't need lifting or stretching. My biggest concern is the garden, which right now looks like ass, and I won't want to be working in it in the sun. If I am lucky enough to get pregnant, I won't care about letting it go to seed until the fall, but I don't want it looking this way for company. Maybe tonight and Monday I can tackle the lion's share of the weeds....
Other than that, I've got a stack of books from the library, shopping for AK to do, and maybe a knitting project? I'm looking forward to having those embryos thawed and hopefully setting up shop!!!! This cycle is taking FOREVER.
Congrats again to Kristen!!!! Looking forward to doubling betas and a great ultrasound (fingers crossed, knock on wood and all that :)
*Dr Will.am Har.ris is the gentleman who built our house, somewhere betweein 1796 and 1818, records vary. He might not actually have built it, but purchased it from a different doctor in 1820. I've broken up the gents name, because if you google him you will be able to see my house :) and find this blog.
Fingers crossed for your transfer on Tuesday. Mine is set for Wednesday so we'll be doing the 2ww together. As far as the cleaning goes.... I say hire a house cleaner to come in once a week to take care of all the big stuff that you won't be able to do. It's not as expensive as you think and it will save you a lot of worry.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea, but I've got my hubby to do most of the big stuff ;) The little stuff will be good enough for me. It is mostly vacuuming and heavy lifting that I want to avoid.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your excitement for me...you are the best! :) I'm soooooo hoping you're just a couple weeks behind me in the BFP department! Can't wait to hear how Tuesday goes...it's so soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy B-day to you and your little one!
Thanks! It sounds like there will be a bunch of us transferring between Tuesday and Wed. next week. I hope your BFP is just the beginning of a trend :)
ReplyDeleteIf I get a BFP on the 13th I'm going to have to engage in some major subterfuge. My relatives were very quick to notice that I was drinking ginger ale at Christmas when pregnant w Adele and outed me before I was ready.
Yay for Tuesday!!!! Beta is not until the 13th for you? I've got mine on the 12th, but of course I'm hoping to POAS a little earlier than that. I'm actually debating when to start, so I can catch a few negatives and make sure the trigger is out of my system. (Yes, I have a problem). :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you Tuesday as I get ready to head in.
Big hugs,
Jo
It might be on the 12th, now that you mention it. I add 11 days to the date of transfer, but is that 11 starting on the second or the day after? The clinic didn't give me a date :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you too. I will NOT be peeing on a stick, because my HCG numbers are usually low, so a pregnancy might not show up even on the day of beta. (with my daughter the first beta was a 40, and it only went up to 60 the next test.) Big hugs back atcha ;)
Fingers and toes crossed for your transfer! Good luck and I really, really hope this is "it" for you!
