My Surgery is set for Wednesday November 12th at Noon. The surgery will be performed at Sparrow Hospital (main campus). It's an out patient surgery, so, I will be home that night to sleep in my own bed. I guess mom will be coming down, but not sure for how long she will be able to stay since someone else has vacation during that same week to go deer hunting. I am for sure taking the day of the surgery off and the day after and I told my boss that we will see how I'm doing after that.
I am super nervous about it. I just don't know what to expect. I'm trying to be optimistic about this whole ordeal, but it's hard. I just hope the ending to the story is that I have a wonderful blessing (if not more) since I could have up to 8!!! I don't know what the hell I would do if I did have 8! It's just like John and Kate plus 8, but all at the same time. OH MY GOD! The nightmares that running through my head right now.

Update on how things are going...
Well, yesterday we went in for our Mid-Cycle Ultrasound. They found that there were no mature eggs. He said that I'm just not really responding to the clomid.
So, now we are moving on to the next step which is "Super Ovulation" This is where I will take clomid or something like it again (for the 5 days) along with Injectables (for 7 days). Then following the same routine after that. Having to go in for a mid-cycle ultrasound then if I have a mature egg then I will get the HCG injection at that time and then follow it with IUI - Artificial Insemination (which is going to cost a chunk of change).
BUT, before we do all of that I have to go in for "minor surgery"! Mind you that I have NEVER had any surgery done before at all! I have to get four procedures done at once. They are as follows...
1. Laparoscopy - a modern surgical technique in which operations in the abdomen are performed through small incisions (usually 0.5-1.5cm) to examine the internal organs
2. Hysteroscopy - looking inside of the uterus with a scope through the cervix.
3. D&C - Getting a sample of the lining of my uterus.
4. Tubal Perfusion - Injection of die into tubes.
At first it was set for Nov 12th at Noon, but they called later on yesterday afternoon asking if they could move it up... TO MONDAY! I will know sometime this morning on when it's going to be. Depending on if mom can get time off - she's going to come and take care of me! Yay! That's the only good thing about it.
I told my boss about the procedure and he EXPECTS me in the day after the surgery. I have talked to a few people that have had the Laparoscopy done and they told me it's going to hurt and I'm not going to be able to drive very well. Most likely I will just end up taking off the day of and the next day. Since I'm already so far behind here at work as it is. I SO need an assistant! Maybe one day I will get one. My boss told me that he had hired a guy, we will see if he passes standards. I just hope that if he does start that he's not an idiot. I'm so SICK of working and dealing with IDIOTS. I swear as of late that's all that they can hire at the pay they are willing to pay. Oh well, enough of my bitching. I will end it for now. Once I know when I will post it. It will be later on today, since I have to work (since we are starting inventory today) and then go to my Chiropractor at 2:30 then hopefully be home by 3 (since we are getting the carpets cleaned today).

Catching up....
So, it's been a little while since I last posted a blog. And we've been kinda busy. Last Sunday we went to Turkeyville with the in-laws...
Here are some pictures from that (in the gift shop).
Eric holding up a sign that we thought was funny, but he didn't.
Heather playing with toys!
Me standing next to a sign that suits me! :-)
We visited our friends in the Hospital. Amber and Jeff had their baby Joey! Congrats! I'm so happy for you.
Eric has had a bad week at work and getting very flustered! I also, had a bad week. I'm just sick of having to deal with people who don't care!
We went to Owosso Yesterday to go to Carrie and Ryan's baby Celebration! That was fun! And Kaila is so adorable! After the celebration, some of us went over to Gary and Rhonda for drinks and the bonfire. I of course didn't drink, since I'm clomid again (that's coming later), so, I drank virgin fuzzy navels! haha - We watched the game, but it wasn't the ending that we had hopped for. Eric was enjoying his citrus drinks that Garry was making just for him. I got to hold Kaila for a while. Long enough for her to puke twice. And one of them was projectile! Landed all over the couch, the floor and my sleeve. Just missed the jeans! As soon as she did that Eric jumped out of his seat and ran to the kitchen. I can only imagine how he's going to deal with our kids, if we have any..
Here are some pictures from the Baby Celebration...
Raja holding Kaila and Deeann watching...
It's my turn to hold her!!
What happens when you leave a puppy alone in a room and a box of tissue on the headboard?
This is what happens....
Also, if you leave candy around, she will find it. If you leave meds like PROZAC around, she will find it. I stayed home from work one day and I was in bed for most of the day. I had walked out to the living room to check the puppy... only to find her on the couch just looking at me with a pill bottle next to her bitten to pieces and the pills that were in it all over! But she was alright... Then on top of that... When Eric got home he checked the living room a little more and noticed that there was a candy wrapper on the floor (a chocolate bar)... Stupid puppy!
My car started acting funny.... It started off with no heat (or only when on the highway). Then I noticed on my way to work that the heat gauge was all out of wack. After I knew my dad was in the shop I called him and asked him. He told me to check the coolant. It was low... I had Eric drop me off coolant - I filled it. The next day I check it again and it was leaking somewhere, so, I called our mechanic to see when we could get in. We got our car in on Friday and it was a water pump! Thank god it wasn't anything more than that!
We were sad to hear that our tattoo parlor, Inkporuim, has now closed. Hopefully our tattoo artist, Kevin, opens up a shop of his own.
I'm still working on the Class Reunion. Trying to locate people are becoming a hard task. It's so time consuming! I wish the class would be a little more helpfull, besides the ones that have already helped out. If they are still friends with the people why don't they give me their address! AHHHH!!
Update on the baby making thing...
From the last time that I wrote I said that I didn't have any mature eggs and he was going to put me on prometruim and then check me before I start taking clomid. Well, the exam came and went - he told me that I will be going back on it and will follow the same schedule as last month. So, my ultrasound is on the 29th. I so hope that there is a mature egg in there!! So, maybe that we will have a chance to bring a miracle baby into this world. For me to hold and to love.
