Christmas and IUI #1...

Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas with Family and Friends. Our Christmas was a little different this year...we went to the clinic early Christmas morning to make sure that the one follie that was at 17mm on Thursday had grown. We checked in and were quickly taken to the exam room. I was looking at Carlos and I was telling him that I had a good feeling that the follie had grown since I was feeling a little discomfort on the right side. The on-call doctor came in and did the U/S and to our surprise right in the middle of my ovary was a 22mm follie that looked ready to go. We checked out and were told that our IUI would be done on Sunday and Monday...we were over the moon. The best gift that we have gotten of Christmas was the news that we were ready to do the IUI on top of the gifts that we had given each other

After the appt we went to my SIL to give our nephews their presents and they were super happy with what "Santa" left them. We then came to the house to pick up the pups and headed to San Antonio to spend the day with our familia. I gave myself the Ovidrel in San Antonio and knew that the next couple of days were in God's hands. Christmas 2010 was a blast and will always have a special place in our hearts.

Sunday morning we left at around 7am to drop off Carlos' sample in order to have it prepped for the first part of the IUI. We returned to the house where we chilled for a little bit and had breakfast before we left for our 10am appt. We arrived at our appt and within 10 minutes we were in the exam room ready to get the show on the road. The whole procedure was quick and were were out before 10:30am. Carlos and I went to lunch and then headed to the house where we chilled all day since Monday was going to be the same.

Monday morining we did the same thing as Sunday prior to the IUI. After the IUI we stopped by a friend's house for a little bit before heading to Xander's bowling festivity for his birthday. We had a blast at the bowling alley and the little munchkin wanted all of us to eat lunch. After lunch we headed to the outlet mall with my bro and his girlfriend for some retail therapy :)

And now the waiting begins...I was given the lab slip with the date that I have to have my blood drawn in order to determine if I'm preggo or not. At this point all I can do is leave it to God and pray that this is our Christmas miracle.
