Happiness Is...

Happiness Is...


- Gazing at the early Spring trees and all their pretty blooms. Commuting is not as bad when there is something nice to look at. Up and down the highway and up on Capitol Hill, all the early blooming trees are white and pink and purple and then there’s the green ones with the red berry things...so pretty.

- Having a sort of “me” week. I bought a new every-day purse (for the first time in about 4 or 5 years) on Monday. On Tuesday I got my hair cut and yesterday I got a pedicure. It’s not very often that I do that many things for myself in such a short amount of time. It feels good.

- Wearing sandals and not freezing! Since I got my first pedicure of the season yesterday I wore sandals and it feels GREAT! I love taking my socks and shoes off and letting my toes breath. And now they are pretty, too!

- Making a new blog-buddy. It’s hard to find women that are in just about the same place as me as far as the DE cycle goes but I have! Her name is Augusta and you should check her out. She just chose her donor and is waiting on a complete match as she is sharing her donor as well. Hop on over to her blog and wish her well.

- Getting an e-mail from my coordinating nurse telling me to skip my inactive BCP and start a new pack of active pills because the 3rd recipient is (finally) due to start her period this weekend! Yeah! I thought for sure that I’d have one more AF before we got started but it’s looking like I will be skipping right over her. How cool is that?

I have just one other suggestion for you in terms of a blogger you may relate to - Sunflower at http://businessofbaby.blogspot.com. She has just completed her donor paperwork and selected a donor and will be cycling in the next month or two. Just thought I would mention it in case you are interested.

Also, I wanted to say that your previous post about the PAIL controversy was spot on, and I agree with everything that you've said. So thanks for sharing.

I'm excited for your upcoming DE cycle, and wish you the best of luck!

Yay for a "me" week! It's so important to be good to yourself, at least every once in awhile! :) And I'm so excited for you that you're getting closer to your donor cycle. Woohoo!!!

Aww, thanks for the shout out, Teejay. I'm really glad that we found each other. It's very comforting to know another woman who is going through the process at more or less the same time (and perhaps even with the same clinic?)

I'm so glad to read that you are getting some 'you' time, and doing all these wonderful things for yourself.

Excited to read that the cycle is getting taxied over onto the runway. Ladies and gentlemen, buckle your safety belts, we are preparing for takeoff.
