I am Ready to Make Easter Baskets!

Tuesday night, my friend Jeremy brought over a ton of stuff for our annual “Basket Making” date. He is such a great uncle, and every year he buys (way too much) stuff for Easter baskets for his nieces and nephew. This year he only had one plastic bag stuffed full of leftovers… It is a record… Anyway, being a man, he brings the baskets to me so I can put them together and decorate them. I look forward to it every year. It is so fun. It is how I can vicariously live as if I have children to do this for! Also, I usually buy eggs or baskets for my husband's young cousins to have at Easter, but I just found out they will be in Fairview for Easter this year. Boo! I need a child! I am ready to make Easter baskets!!

Last night we went out with Scott, Neilly and baby Henry again. He is so funny. He is really excited about his tongue. I could entertain him for hours by covering my face and sticking out my tongue, so he could mimic me. He has the cutest little arms! His wrists look as if they are banded! Little chubby thing, so precious!

So, the latest on the fertility front… We have to have a decision made by Monday so I can get the medicines ordered, prepare my body, my mind, our spirits, and our doctors to go through this again! This time, if we choose to do it, I am going to get weekly massages, and see a couple’s therapist. Not that we need therapy, I would just like to have an independent third party be able to hear our concerns and frustrations and I don’t want us to have any stress. Those who know me know I am an advocate of therapy. It is just nice to let someone else hear your problems. I affectionately call it a mass vomit of information! If we go through it again, we will use the Chicago Fertility Institute for the PGD process. My doctor’s office was not real excited about using it last time because the eggs will actually be shipped to Chicago, tested there, and shipped back to Oklahoma City. The doctor’s office just felt better keeping the eggs here in Oklahoma, but I was not happy with the last process, and verbally expressed it. I had a bad feeling and we REFUSE to go through that process again. I just feel better about it. Good things come out of Chicago! ;) After all, we get to make that decision, it is our money. The weird thing is, now I am hearing that we can use the Chicago team and still keep the eggs here. That puzzles, and to be honest, angers me a little. We all need to get on the same page. Regardless, if we do this again, Sweet Home Chicago!

Everyone have a joyful Easter, and we will have news Monday!
