July 3, 2004
This is actually from Friday, July 2. BUT, I had copied/pasted it from the Feb. Mom's forum that I chat on, and had left all the emoticons in there, which just showed up as jargon on here! Oops!
Okay, on to the stuff.
As for 10:45 this morning...
I had 39.5 million of Chris's best swimmers gunnin' at the target(s). Go boys, go!!!!
The nurse said everything looked great, my uterus looked nice and 'ripe' (good, we'd hate for it to be overripe), and that Chris gave a good sample. He seemed quite proud of himself when he came home from his part and cheerily told me, "Mission Accomplished!" so I wasn't surprised on that one. ;)
Now I wait. Oh, and no heavy lifting or weed-pulling, lawn-mowing, or vacuuming for me today. Darn the luck. :grin She said that if I don't get my period in 17 days (SEVENTEEN?) to come in on the 18th day for bloodwork. They used to say 14, which is probably what I will do since we're going out of town on the 19th day, and what good is one hCG blood draw when there's no time for a 48-hour repeat (if you're wondering - no good at all)?!
On my way home I did a little shopping at Old Navy and bought some milk, then I parked it on the couch for over an hour, just for good measure. Katie's still asleep, so I might just go park back there.
Oh, something funny about Katie - today, for the first time, she walked up to DH and said, "Poopoo," and sure enough she had a dirty diaper! She's been saying poopoo when we change her, but this is the first time she's TOLD us!
Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July! Stay safe!
Take care,
Laura & Katie
