Almost there now....

We are so close to the transfer and I just can't believe it! Things have moved so fast this month and I'm totally psyched about it. I talked with V for a little while today and she said that she was just counting the days too and is amazed how the time flew.
As of Jan. 25th I am only on Estrace and on the 29th the dosage went up to 6mg a day. I'm still not having too much of a side effect of any of it. Very thankful for that. Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm also taking prenatal vitamins to help get my system ready for a baby and hopefully help sustain a healthy pregnancy!

This past week has been a horrible one for us but we got through and now the healing process begins. I've been so worried about my stepmom, who is going through chemo. She got really sick from it last Monday. On Wed. my grandma quite unexpectedly passed away. Then on Thurs. my uncle, whom I love dearly, had a double bypass surgery. And to top all of that off, I got the flu and the doctor ordered bedrest for me! It was absolutely horrible for a couple of days but we made it through.
Well, my stepmom is feeling better even though she is drained and has virtually no immune system. My uncle made it through surgery with only a couple scary times and is now doing great from what I've been hearing. I think he's been moved out of the ICU now. We made it through the funeral for my grandma, but I don't think its really sunk in for me yet.

And, I finally, for the first time in at least 3 months, was able to have a night out with no kids to worry about. I was with my sister, brother in law, and his brother and wife. We had an awesome time and if Ansil hadn't come when he did and bugged me to leave, I would have actually gotten up the courage to sing karaoke for the 2nd time in my life! They kept telling me that I sounded just like my sister, who is an awesome singer, so they put my name in with my brother in law's brother and I was going to do it! LOL Oh, well, there is always the next time.

So, things are looking up for us. Everyone is feeling alot better now. No more flu unless Ansil decides its his turn, which I really hope doesn't happen. Kylee is getting her first molar in and has been handling that really well. Ryssa turns 6 on Feb 6th, next Sunday and we are having her party here on Fri. Feb 4th. And in 7 short days, we fly to Canada for the transfer.

Here's to a good week everyone!
