WHEW….

Well, the weekend of the 4th came and went.  It was a busy weekend.  On Thursday night I picked up Ava and Ryan and they spent the night here with me.  We got home, packed a bag and headed on a walk to downtown to enjoy the annual street dance.  We goofed around, ate some dinner, they danced like the cutest dancers I ever saw and then we walked back home.  Of course, we stopped at the park and they played, then a bit after 8 we walked the rest of the way home.  Friday we woke up, got ready and at 9:30 walked back towards downtown and watched the annual parade.  The kids did good for the first half.  The parade ended up being 2 hours and Ava is like Aunt Tracey, when she is hot and hungry.. the crabbies come.  OH and not to mention they were both tired because they stayed up extra late on Thursday night (isn’t that what Aunts are for????)  After the parade, Deb and John (who met us at the parade) took the kids home so they could catch up on their sleep and I went home to do the same.  Friday evening (about 4ish) I headed over to EDL’s (Embryo Donor Lady) house.  She was nice enough to invite me to a BBQ and fireworks.  I did let her know I would stay til about 8 and then head home to enjoy the fireworks in my town with the family.  Anyhoo..  I went up there and I had a great time.  I met her boyfriend and some friends and everyone was super sweet and welcoming. 

The time came for me to leave and I headed home.  There I met Deb and John at the park and we waited until the fireworks show at 9:15.  Well they set A firework off and we waited more.  About a half hour later they set off another firework… and we continued waiting.  The poor local band was working over time and by 10pm.. the crowds were restless.  The show was delayed and possibly being cancelled.  Well, after 1,798 stories to Ava later, Debbie and John packed up the kids (as did 50% of the crowd) and headed back to their car.  I did the same and the show was over.  Cancelled due to high winds.  (We can’t afford anymore wildfires here!!)  I was sad.  I LOVE fireworks.  They are one of my most favorite things.  But the kids think the two that they saw WERE the show.. God Bless them!! 

Sat I headed over to Debbie’s and we went to the pool with the kids.  Then my dad came over for a visit and then I made my famous fajitas.  Sunday was church and then back home to clean the ole mess of a house.  I was in a cleaning mode and the house looks GRAND. 

Monday back to work.  I sent a note to EDL and thanked her for Friday.  I also asked if she had made a choice as to the embryos.  She responded late last night that they were mine mine mine!! HEE HEE!!!!  I think what happened was that the lady who was not picked, mentioned splitting them.  And EDL felt guilt about making her sad.  But in the end.. She stuck to me   THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!  Now, I just need to get that wet signature and all will be well in my world.

So, today is like Day 5 of BCP’s, I ordered up my Lupron and that should start next week on Thursday.  My phone consult is on Friday with the Doc and the ball is currently rolling ahead.  I can NOT wait!  I am so excited!!!!
