Change of Plans May 4, 2006
There will be no truckers honking at me Friday morning, because I’m no longer having my ultrasound done on Friday. No, I didn’t cancel it, but I did manage to reschedule it.
You see, Dan and I have been planning to head over to Houston this weekend to meet with our realtor to start house hunting. If I had my ultrasound appointment on Friday then I would be driving over and back Friday and then back again Saturday morning. Too much damn driving.
Normally my clinic doesn’t do FET scans on the weekends, but I got them to make an exception for me. Now my appointment is scheduled for Saturday morning. The only catch is that I have to be there at 8am, so we’ll head over tomorrow evening after Dan is finished with work.
Saturday is going to be a packed day. I’ve got my u/s at 8, we’re meeting with the realtor at 10, then with the mortgage people in the early afternoon, followed by my acupuncture appointment at 3. We’ll then hit the road and stop by my parent’s house for dinner on the way back home. We ought to get at least something accomplished out of all of that.
I guess I should be really excited about all of this house hunting stuff. The truth is, though, that I’m not at this very moment. First of all, I really care a lot more about how my lining is going to look Saturday morning than anything else that’s going to happen that day. Secondly, it makes me sad to think about buying a huge house with no little ones to fill up the bedrooms. Ok, that makes me downright depressed. I also can’t help but think that part of the reason we’ll be able to afford to buy a house is that we won’t be doing any more IVF cycles. It’s hard to accept sometimes.
Dan keeps saying that he hopes all of this house stuff goes smoothly and we end up with the one we want, etc. All I can think is that I’d gladly keep living in a little apartment if it would mean that this cycle would work. Sure, I think it’s fabulous that we can finally buy a house, but I’d give it up in a heartbeat if I could finally have my long awaited for baby.
Man, I’m depressing today. Maybe devouring my newly purchased bag of mega peanut M&Ms will help cheer me up. Dan will be home from New Orleans this afternoon, and I know that will definitely help. All of this crap can just be tough at times, ya know?

Oh, it’s definetly tough…it’s just not easy at all. I hope the M&Ms gave you a little cheer and that all goes well this weekend.
Sounds like a busy saturday. I hope all goes well!
Take care and good luck with the cycle!
Oh yes, its tough. I hear you on the house buying- we bought our first house in the midst of dealing with the brunt of our primary infertility and it was depressing to see the room that was supposed to be the nursery never be.
I hope that Saturday is fruitful for you, in more ways than one.
Oh, M&Ms are the greatest anti-depressants EVER!
Good luck with the Saturday schedule; I hope you’ve got something planned that doesn’t involve doctors or realtors (like maybe a nice dinner?)!
Hang in there. I know it’s tough, and you’ve had your share. As difficult as the house buying can be, enjoy it with Dan. Have fun and find that dream house you guys want. Good luck on Saturday.
I will join you with a Sat lining check too! I will think of you although you are like 8 hours behind me hahaha. I love nothing more than looking at houses. It is my favourite pastime although I am not moving.
I’m glad that dan will do some of the driving this time. And I empathise with the house thing. We bought our 5 bedroom house just before we got married because we didn’t want to move again when we got pregnant. Hah.
I’m just hoping that for you both, tomorrow and the next few weeks are very good ones.
Good luck with lining, I have a feeling it’s going to be perfect. And enjoy Saturday, all the house hunting stuff can be fun. So, understanding the tuff part also. Hope the M&M’s helped out!
I do understand. I’m sitting here in a 5 bedroom house that we bought when we moved to FL. It’s not so bad though. We filled one room up with exercise equipment, made another into a guest room, another into an office and one of our cats sort of placed his claim on the empty room. He hangs out in there all the time. It’s at the point where I feel like we’d need a bigger house if we did have children :)
Anyway, have a great day tomorrow. I don’t think it’d be possible to schedule any more stuff into one day!
By the way, I tried accupuncture for the first time yesterday and all I can say is “OUCH”! I thought those stupid needles weren’t supposed to hurt.
Mmmm…peanut M&Ms!
Good luck with your busy Saturday and with your lining check. Hope it all goes well and keep us posted.
Dear Amanda, I’m so glad they let you reschedule. What a relief to have Dan come with you. And as for the new house, I do hope that soon you’ll see all of this from a very different, much happier perspective. May the next step towards that new situation be a perfect lining on Saturday. Keeping all my appendages crossed for you.
