Happy Birthday Deano

Happy Birthday Deano!

Deano's awesome mama, my friend M, made him a killer smash cake for his first birthday. Blue velvet cake filled with yogurt and raspberries and covered in chocolate icing. Deano thought that chocolate icing was the best thing ever and he looked absolutely delicious wearing that cake lol. 

I'm so glad I got the opportunity to celebrate with everyone, between work and all the fertility stuff we haven't had much time to catch up. I hope E and I can get off this infertility mary-go-round soon so we can get back to smash cakes, water balloons and good friends. 

Busy Boy

Yesterdays acupuncture appointment went very well, as usual. S complimented me on my "positive spirit" and after about 5-10 minutes relaxation, I dropped off into a deep sleep. This time I slept so hard I didn't wake up until S had opened the door and walked in. It felt like I had only closed my eyes for a second but somehow an hour had passed. I got a new herbal formula to try out as well, it's less bitter than my batch which is a nice change. It almost feels like I'm paying for a weekly nap, but I'm up for anything that helps.

As planed, I dropped E off at the airport early this morning. He got home super late last night, near 1am, and I have no idea how he's going to get through the weekend :(

Let's go E!

He has to land, pick up his rental car, drive to the track meet, work the track meet which should go till 9 or 10pm, check into his hotel, build graphics and prepare for the game on Sunday, sleep at some point, check out of the hotel, drop off the rental car, hop on a plane, get picked up, get his car, and go straight to the next game, arriving about 4 hours after his call time. It's gonna be a busy weekend for him and I'm already looking forward to picking him up tomorrow. 

I have a much simpler weekend planned, with a lot less running around. Milou has her Agility class today, I'll probably work and run some errands, but on the whole will be able to chill out a bit.

Tomorrow I get to pick up E bright and early, and it's also my last day of birth control, yay! I get three days off while the hormones leave my system and then it's on to the big guns. I don't expect two injections a day to be very much fun, but the prospect of recruiting lots of eggs is a really exciting one. The more targets we have, the better chance we have of getting pregnant with a healthy baby.

Sunday is also a big day for my bestie M and her insanely adorable son Dean. Deano, who is quite possibly the cutest baby on two legs, turns 1 today and we'll be celebrating his birthday tomorrow :) Like his big sister, Deano practically radiates sunshine and exudes happiness out of his pores. He's an absolute joy to be around and I can only hope that E and I have kiddos have as awesome.
