Happy Easter (early)

Hey Girls,
I am leaving out of town early tomorrow morning so I wanted to wish you all Happy Easter before I don't have Internet access on vacation. So, HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you all have a blessed one.

I have almost all of my errands done, laundry washed, dog washed, and now I just have to pack tonight. Dh and I are going to visit his family for a few days up in NY. It actually doesn't seem real that I am finally going to visit them being pregnant. I have been dreaming about this for 5 1/2 years and now it has finally come true. It all feels so surreal like it's not really happening to me. Every time I have gone to visit them I have always had the weight of infertility on my mind and now I am so freaking HAPPY to be able to visit Dh's parents with their 53 grandchild on the way. Thank you God! I am so grateful for this experience and blessing!

Yesterday my blood testing kits did NOT arrive in the mail so I couldn't go get my levels checked this time. I guess I will have to wait I think another two weeks before I able to do the blood draw again. It's to long to explain why but I did the math and I am pretty sure that's how it is going to have to work out.

So I called up my mid-wife's office yesterday to see I could just randomly come in a nd hear my babies heartbeat. She said yes. So I drove to the hospital quickly and got to hear it pounding away. I still got all choked up! Just so relieved that it's still there and still really happening to me. The nurse was super sweet and so kind about it all.

Oh, also, I took TCIE advice and started to wing myself off of the naltrexone. Now I am on 25mg. and then I figured I would reduce it to like 12mg then none at all. So far, so good. I can't wait to get off of it completely. I don't want to be taking any more drugs than I have to.

I went looking for an Easter dress today. Which is kind of stupid to go last minute because then you're just more stressed when things don't fit right ;) But so far no luck. Hopefully I'll find something after work....we'll see. I have to get back to work but HAPPY EASTER again!

P.s. so far Oddie has only peed a few times and his new owners are happy with him We'll see how long that lasts. I know Oddie and certainly don't trust him to dry it up!
