Happy St. Patricks Day!

Today is a good day!  I had a great weekend. Spent with great friends, good gossip and a super fun baby shower!  Lots of baby talk (which I will admit was hard) but so fun! And the shopping and talking and more shopping and more talking was more than fun!  It was the best weekend I've had in a long time!
Then today we had a meeting to get a will/trust etc. set up.  Learned a lot and probably spent a lot of money. But I think it's important especially if we're thinking of having kids.  Then onto the doctor appointment.  I was meeting with a new dr in my ob/gyn office.  My regular dr left in February.  My husband came with me just to hear everything he had to say. I was so impressed, he had actually read my chart and knew the plan that we had originally set up.  I didn't have to go over any of the same problems that I had previously discussed.  He said we would start clomid next cycle (too late this cycle).  I had a blood draw to check prolactin levels.  I also will get an HSG next cycle. They couldn't get me in on such short notice this time either.  Which is fine.  I need to make a few phone calls to my insurance company anyway.  I'm nervous about all this, but I am also so excited. I feel like we have a new lease on life as far as baby making is concerned.  I really hope this works.  He said we will do this 4 times and if it doesn't work then, he will refer me to a specialist.  I am hoping that doesn't happen.  But right now we'll just get down  to the baby making business and hope for the best!!  I'm sure I'll have tons of questions when the time rolls around. But right now I'm just excited!  
In the interim, we are planning on taking a little bit of a break.  No more progesterone, no more OPK's, nothing. I just need a small break before we start all this.  I am going to try to put it out of my mind for the next 4 weeks and focus on spring and summer right around the corner.  Maybe even getting into a little better shape...who knows!  
I probably won't be writing much the next few weeks...but for right now I know I'm finally in a good place!!!
