Producing Eggs and Spilling Secrets

I went to my doctors appointment and nearly fell asleep on the table....during a "wand" ultrasound, to be polite. How is it possible? I am EXHAUSTED! The good news? I am responding very, very well to the medicine, in fact, better than the last time. Good, good news! My doctor is predicting my retrieval to be Saturday, but will know for sure Thursday!

So, do you know what it is like to have a secret that you have known for like, um... 7 weeks and could not tell because you promised someone you wouldn't??? Well, I have permission now! Our GREAT friends Magan & Jarrod are going to be welcoming their first born in February!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

We are so excited! Especially when we get pregnant and our babies can be good friends too! How wonderful! You know, my husband and Jarrod are exactly 1 month, to the day, apart. If we have multiples, they will be here in March. Too cute!

After I left work today, I picked up my aunt who flew in from Chicago, and went straight to the hospital. It is 10:50pm, and we just got home. We are basically taking turns watching my grandmother die. I know that sounds horrific, but it is the truth. It sucks. I feel so bad for her, she did not want to live like this. My husband got back to OKC at exactly 8pm, so he brought the shots and met me at the hospital. He gave me my shots there. My aunt witnessed it and said she is so proud of me, because there is no way she could do all of this. It is not about me, though!

Speaking of, that is what I am thankful for today. I am thankful that God blessed me with the gift of giving. I work with some ladies that are so selfish it makes me ill. I am not sure if it is the hormones, or just me in general, but today I spoke to some coworkers about pitching in on a baby shower gift for another coworker. My close friends and I were talking about getting a gift card. A couple of women, who are not poor, thought they would give $5. I about died. $5? Really? And what exactly are you going to buy for $5? I told them that if they would like to buy a pacifier and wrap it up as a gift, they are more than welcomed. $5.... that is an insult. I cannot imagine even offering that. Then, some women thought we did not need to do a shower since a family member was having one for her AND one of these girls is one of her close friends. Pathetic. Selfish, selfish, selfish. I cannot stand selfish, tight/cheap people!!! Ugh! After the meeting I thought that I might have made some mad, but I don't care. My coworker told me that is why people like me so well. She said that I say things that everyone else is thinking, and I can be harsh, but I have the biggest heart of anyone she knows... I guess that is a compliment, right???

The song that made me have peace in my heart today was "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley. Me, my husband, and my aunt were on grandma duty from 7-10pm tonight. My husband went outside to escort my aunt to go smoke and I was left alone with my grandmother. I closed my eyes on the chair/bed next to her and that song was in my head. It just made me feel good.

My next appointment is Wednesday and we will know a closer date!!! I can't believe it is almost here!
