Tres Jolie

First of all, my sincerest apologies for not posting as of late. It’s been a little loco at the Casa de Daniels and I just wasn’t ready to update on the Clomid Chaos for the sake of jinxing. So here we are now, I’ve completely neglected to let all of my “Race for Baby Daniels” on-lookers know what’s been going down. Cycle 2 of Clomid (100mg) did not work last month. I did not ovulate according to the lack of digital happy faces around my house. However, a little surprise came this month for the first time since February - BY ITSELF!! No Provera, nothing induced- Just my body finally deciding to be normal. Hoooooray! (I was excited as Margaret in the famous Judy Blume novel!) This my friends, gives me the MOST hope that I will ovulate this month on my third round of Clomid (150mg!). I wont even go as far as to type the “what’s next” options that my doctor has given us if this round doesn’t work because, well……………. it’s going to work, ok??

After gearing up this month to take Clomid cycle days 5-9, I of course mapped out the possible days of ovulation. (This is the part where you remember that The Mister just left a couple weeks ago for FOUR (not three), count them- FOUR weeks!). Our window of opportunity fell a mere 4 days before Paul is scheduled to come home on November 10th. So what do I do? Well I do what any normal baby wanting lady would do and planned on taking a day off work and flying up to NYC for the day in order to…………ahem…. Make ze bebe. The Mister had a better idea and called me this morning saying that he was going to take a few days off and fly back on November 7th giving all the time in the world. PHEW- Could you imagine waking up, taking a test, seeing the happy face- Then dropping a grand on a ticket and calling into work just to fly to New York City for………………..ahem…..(you know where this is going). What a life saver that hubby-o-mine turned out to be.

So once again please keep the prayers coming, the fingers crossed and send all the good ju-ju our way!!
