15 things to bring to an out-of-town wedding

Just suggestions! 

  1. Sunscreen (I say this as a pale person who forgot this before)
  2. A card (I say this as someone who forgot one)
  3. Camera (hopefully you'll see some new stuff while out of town)
  4. Your wedding outfit (this can be hard to replace)
  5. Whatever you need to get ready (makeup, hair spray, etc.)
  6. Downloaded maps (if you're like me, your cell service can vary greatly outside Chicago)
  7. Guidebook (mostly you only need this if you are either spending a lot of time there or where you're going is foreign to you)
  8. Screenshots or printed versions of your hotel etc. reservations (if you're like me, your cell service can vary greatly outside Chicago)
  9. Phone numbers of people available for questions (this may be the couple, but it may be people in the wedding party)
  10. Downloaded language for translation (if your native language isn't the primary language of where you're going)
  11. Whatever you need for an overnight (meds, nightguard, etc.)
  12. A clear itinerary of wedding events (you don't want to come all this way and miss something)
  13. Entertainment for your travel time (book, podcast, etc.)
  14. Anything you need for comfy travel (neck pillow, comfy travel clothes, etc.)
  15. Whatever you need for extra activities (hiking boots, swimsuit, etc.)

Starting my parental journey, part 9

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.

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...
