Well here we are...January 7th and still not back in school. We were supposed to go back on the 2nd. We got so much snow that the drifts are so high and they are impassable. The country roads are horrible...and so are the main ones. We have been pretty much home bound. BORING!!! Blah...
So we traveled to indy today...DEAR GOD! It took us 5 hours..and me freaking out every time the Jeep moved weird. The roads were ice covered and snow covered. The main interstates were horrible. There was SO many semi's and cars off the sides of the roads it was ridiculous. I'm so glad Jeffrey is such a good driver and he took his time. We were on the road for a total of 10 hours...it was a LONG DAY!
We got to the clinic and they were SO understanding. They got us in 2 hours after my original appointment time. They are soooooooo great there. It made Jeffrey's day since we got his favorite ultrasound lady. She explained everything. So, I have 21 measurable follicles (meaning the ones that will mature and are viable to use) and I had more little ones too. I'm pretty much stacked full right now. It gets pretty uncomfortable wearing real clothes so I'm living in Yoga pants...DON'T JUDGE ME. My follies are averaging about 13's and 14's. (Remember.....18 is mature).
We have to go back Friday for another check up. My guess is she is going to trigger me soon. Growing slow is good. We don't want to rush it. :)
Ok loyal followers....this will probably be one of my last posts for a while. Not that I dislike you all...but if something were to happen positive or negative it is for us to deal with. I hope you all understand!! Peace out girl scouts! ;)

Loooooong day...snow day....doctor day....
Well....We got a snow day today so Jeffrey was able to come with me to my appointment. We left at 6:45am we didn't get to the office until 10:15 (11:15 our appt was at 10:45 Indy time) But we called and they understood. So we got to see...21 follicles. Thats right...21!!!! I think thats a lot...and it is! We have a good number of them at 6's and 7's. They need to be above 18 to be considered mature. So she upped my Follistim to 175 and my Menopur is staying the same. I knew I responded well to Follistim...but I guess I also respond well to Menopur too! Well this is good news! I will go back again on Saturday.
Now for OUR CRAZY ride home from the clinic...
We totally hit a patch of black ice and spun out on 465. Did a 180 and ended up inches from the median. We didn't hit anything. Someone was CLEARLY watching over us. We were very lucky!! As we sat there and tried to get our breathing back to normal we saw 2 other cars do the same exact thing. I give Jeffrey all the credit on driving us out of that. We then stopped to get lunch and sat in our cars and just ate.
We finally get to Terre Haute and decide we are taking the side roads back. Less people/less traffic. We are driving along and we see a car in the ditch and two stopped. We then stopped to ask if she needed help. The young idiot driving the Monte Carlo (that fishtailed and put her in the ditch) left. The guy in the Jeep stayed as long as he could, but had to leave. Brian was on his was back from Terre Haute and he caught up with us. So we all stayed. A man in a blue pick up truck stopped. He had a chain and so make a long story short we got her out of the ditch and on her way. Not to mention it was freaking cold. Good thing that my dad drilled it in my head to always carry extra coat, snow pants, gloves, extra wool socks, and boots in the car in the winter. Well WE used them today...thanks dad! <3
Strangers helping strangers...there is no better feeling in the world.

There is always tomorrow...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Well tomorrow I go in for my first check up to see how they are growing. Lets hope there is a couple and they are growing I feel like a pin cushion, but I'm hoping that with this new year will come new opportunities for us. Jeffrey and I are to the point that we don't care when, where, who. We are missing something from our lives that others have. I am really really entertaining the fact we are being tested. I was never good at tests in school so hopefully that I pass this one.
Here is to a new year....and renewed hope...
...2014 bring it on...
