Changed Plans

Sometimes our best made plans do not go as planned. I was supposed to see my fertility doc today to get answers but on my way I received a call from my daughter’s school that she had thrown up. My husband has a very busy day at work today so I turned around and went to get my daughter. Luckily I was able to reschedule my appointment for tomorrow.
I am thankful that she is okay, just an allergic reaction to a new food this morning. She has egg and milk allergies and now I am guilty of poor label reading. I looked at the package of the soy sausage and it clearly states “egg whites.” I feel horrible. You can’t see it in this picture, but she has hives all over her. Great job, mom! It is difficult to parent a child with allergies and you are always on your guard. Apparently, I was not on my guard yesterday when I bought this food item.

So, this is all not about me, my fertility woes…it is about this wondrous child I already have who counts on me and needs me.

I am truly lucky.

Really?!?!?!

I received a call this morning from my fertility doctor’s’ office telling me he can’t see me in the morning on Thursday but can see me in the afternoon. Now, I am driving an hour and a half to see him and had the day planned (took the day off from work) and now I have to change my plans. To some people this is not a big deal, but for me, I am counting down the hours until I see him to get some answers, so this is a BIG deal! I wish this would not annoy me but it does. It worked out and I will still see him on Thursday but now I have to decide if I am still taking off the full day or if I am working a half-day before my drive to the Boston area.
I must be crazy to be this annoyed, right?!?!
UGH! Is this 95 degree weather making anyone crazy??

Being Human

Well I am feeling a bit better now that my hormone levels have gone back down from horrendously high to moderately normal. I am counting down the days until I see my fertility doctor on Thursday and hope we can figure out why this is not working. I wish this was not such a taboo topic and I could be more open about it to more people. I just feel cut off.
Lucky for me, my daughter told me I’m her “best friend” and that just makes everything better!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! It is beyond tropical here in the northeast.
