15 things I'm looking forward to

Always a nice thing to think about. These are in no particular order!

  1. Getting my portfolio done. I will feel so relieved once it's done.
  2. Going to my friend Leah's wedding. It's in just over a month!!!
  3. Going to my brother's wedding. I'm so happy for him and so excited to get a new sister-in-law.
  4. One of my nephews' first birthday party. I should be able to go and it will be one of the cutest things in the world, I'm sure.
  5. Dogsitting. Puppy and I are getting some quality time soon.
  6. Planning a Halloween costume. I don't have ideas yet, but I'll think of some.
  7. More episodes of Are You the One?. Just a delightful reality show that I look forward to every week.
  8. Trying some new recipes. And really, mostly just eating the food that I make.
  9. Reading some books I have stacked up. I have so many books stacked up.
  10. Getting a job. It's gotta happen sometime, right?
  11. Throwing a murder mystery party. No idea when or where, but I want to do another.
  12. Labor day excursion. In theory I'm going (never know if somehow I'll end up with work that will keep me form it) with friends to Galena that weekend and it should be great.
  13. Dipping my feet in the lake. Gotta do this while the weather still permits.
  14. Getting farther in Wizards Unite. I'm enjoying this game greatly.
  15. Watching some family oral history. I gotta see the video of my grandpa talking about his journey from Ukraine/Russia (it's now Ukraine, but was Russia when he left).

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Starting my parental journey, part 8

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here , read part 6 here , and read part 7 here . I have begun birth control again. Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
