Family Weekend and Results for U/S #1

Just got back from my appt with the RE and I'm pleased with the results. My lining was at 6.0mm and my E2 levels were at 67. When she checked my ovaries, the right one had 5 follies (9,9,8,7,7mm) and the left one had 3 follies (6,6,5mm). Dr Burger decided to up my dose to 112.5 for today and tomorrow and 75 for Wednesday. I go back in for a follow-up on Thursday at 9:45am.

My human side wants this cycle to be "THE ONE" but my spiritual side tells me that GOD will decide WHEN the time is right. In the meantime I will continue to do as the doctor says and I will take it one day at a time.

This past weekend we decided to drive up to Houston to spend time with my in-laws since Carlos' dad's birthday was during the week. So we packed the dogs up and headed out by 5:30pm. Carlos' sister was already on her way with the boys and hubby plus the 2 labs. Nothing like 2 rowdy boys to brighten your day. Xavier and Xander are always a blast to have around but now that they're 5 and almost 3, their "playing" is getting a little out of control...but heck...they're BOYS!!! We went to dinner on Saturday to a latin restaurant and THANK GOD the food was good because the service was HORRIBLE. Never going to eat there again...We got back to the house and took the boys to see the different Christmas lights around the neighborhood. I love where my in-laws live...why can't they build houses like that in Round Rock???

On Sunday we left a little early than expected since we decided to go to San Antonio for Papito's birthday party. Mind you, we are in Houston, so off Carlos and I went with the dogs in the back on our 3hr drive. The drive was fun...Carlos and I talked about different things and that made the trip a little easier. Xixi and Ben were passed out in their new doggie beds that they didn't realize when we made it to San Antonio. We always have a blast with our "FAMILIA" especially when you put a bunch of PUERTORRICANS together. Papito grilled some chicken and ribs and his mom hooked us up with some arroz con gandules...YUMMY!!! As tradition, the birthday boy got his "Pie in The Face" from his bros and warned us what was to come in 2011.

It was a great weekend with family and friends and I can't wait 'til next weekend since it will be Christmas. Looking forward to spending time with loved ones even though my loved ones are far away from me.
