Here we go again!

I'm gearing up for my very first frozen embryo transfer. The FET is tentatively scheduled for April 28. It's amazing how different a FET is from a fresh IVF cycle. I've really almost forgotten that I'm cycling. I've only been in for monitoring once and will only have to go in once more. A fresh cycle typically requires 6-8 monitoring appointments.

In other news since my last post, we painted the entire interior (that sounds funny when you say it out loud) of our house, put it on the market to rent, had a contract in less than 36 hours, and moved out of that house 5 days after that. We lived with my grandma for a week and a half and now have been in our new house (that we are renting from my mother-in-law) in the country for 2 weeks. So far I really enjoy being out of the hustle and bustle of the city. We are still close enough, though, that we can easily access anything that we could possibly need. We moved one county to the east of the one used to live in. Everyone that we know that lives here loves it and The Real Deal is having a blast exploring the 3 1/2 acres that he has to play outside.

I'm also getting ready for the March of Dimes March for Babies on April 30. Our family does this walk every year in honor of my son and in memory of his twin sister, who died soon after birth. If you would like to donate to the March of Dimes, you can do so by clicking here.
