Still another 15 things I've learned about Hoban

 I'm still learning about my doggo.

  1. He likes to peel the bark off of sticks
  2. He will get focused on one toy and ignore you if you throw another toy for him to fetch
  3. He looks great in his holly collar
  4. He gets random bursts of herding energy when I walk him and he runs around me in small circles
  5. He doesn't seem to dig on his own, but if there is a hole that has been dug, he will dig it deeper/wider
  6. I am always tempted to buy him more toys
  7. He loves the dog park for fetch and socialization, but doesn't care about any of the extras
  8. He loves chai even though it isn't great for him
  9. He thinks he's a good cat chaser even though the one cat he's barked at hardly acknowledges him being there
  10. He is better about trying to get my attention
  11. He tends to nap in the morning
  12. No game is better than fetch (but tug-of-war is sometimes okay)
  13. He needs more practice in his booties
  14. I am more and more convinced that he is an Australian Cattle Dog, Jack Rusell, and Shiba Inu mix
  15. He always wants more friends

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...
