Back to reality...boo!

Sorry it’s taken me so long to update. The week before we left for our cruise was a busy one! I had so many things to do before we left – I felt so stressed to get it all done, especially everything at work. Since we’ve gotten back its back to reality…I believe you always need a vacation from your vacation. It’s been hard getting back into the swing of things. I have at least cooked two nights this week! Go me!

The cruise was amazing! We had a blast! Our cruise left out of Miami on Sunday but we left on Friday after work and drove to Valdosta. We then got up on Saturday, enjoyed breakfast at Shoneys and then finished our trip to Miami. Everyone thinks we are crazy for making the 12 hour trip by car. Well, my husband was diagnosed a couple of months ago with two blood clots in his right leg resulting in two trips to the ER. A month before our cruise he went for a follow-up ultrasound and they noticed that one of the clots had moved into his deep vein and had moved into his thigh. The other clot moved behind his knee and was causing him tremendous pain. They put him on blood thinners and pain meds and sent him home. They told him that if he were to fly he’d need to be up and walking around the entire time we were up in the air. Well, since this is impossible we chose to drive and just stop every few hours and let him walk around.

We traveled to San Juan, St Thomas and St Maarten. All of which are amazing. Our favorite stop was St Maarten – we did a catamaran ride which had two stops - one to snorkel; and then to the beach. It was amazingly beautiful! I’ll post some pictures later as I’m posting via email.

On to the TTC part of our life…Nothing exciting at the moment.

I started taking progesterone on Tuesday. I have 4 more days to go. Every other time I’ve taken progesterone I’ve started my period two weeks to the day of starting the pills. Hopefully, this time will be the same. This will put me starting my cycle on May 19th and hopefully IUI # 2 between June 2nd and 5th. So this is the plan for now…
