Since Dan and I were both working tonight and Dan Lew was going home to Santa Rosa, we didn’t plan for Halloween this year. No candy. No yard inflatables.
But it turned out that it was a slow day in the MTU and I left a few hours early and one of [...]
Today is the start of day #3 of my “bed rest” and I’ve decided that while I should stay off my feet as much as possible, it’s okay for me to sit at my desk, walk around the house, scoot along in my desk chair across the floors. I’ve been sitting on a heating [...]
Okay, so yesterday was the embryo transfer. I took my one dose of valium and basically felt no effects from it until I got home and passed out on the couch and slept for two hours. Anyways, they took two embryos that were in the blastocyst stage and using ultrasound, placed a catether [...]
By the way, I’m sorry to be hung up on every little thing that I’m feeling. The blog is as much a diary for myself as anything else.
So my abdominal pain continues to get better. I only have pain with certain movements, if I lay on my stomach, or if I go down [...]
So I didn’t expect that it would take this long to recover from a relatively minor procedure. From my understanding, they stick a needle through the vaginal wall into the ovaries and suck up all the eggs they can. I suppose they probably do it a few times per ovary. But relatively [...]

So my egg retrieval was this morning and everything went fine. Dan and I got there early and I chilled out by playing Scrabble on my DS. I got Fentanyl, Versed and Propofol which put me sleep right away. I remember asking Dr. Vu a question but I don’t remember the answer [...]
So today, our data hard drive died. The hard drive that we use on a daily basis to hold ALL of our information. And of course, our most recent backup was…. December 2007. Yikes. The last time this happened (probably in December 2007), we had pledged to be diligent about backing [...]
Brisingr, book #3 of the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini.
I have to write a blog too.
Today was Shed-O-Rama and you can read all about it on Dan’s blog. Suffice it to say that we have awesome friends and the shed is nearly completed and I couldn’t be happier!
At dinner today, we talked about books and when I came home, I did [...]
