4 days post transfer....

and things are pretty normal.  I feel fine, a bit lazy though.  I haven't held Chace since last Wednesday and I think he's starting to get mad at me!  Maybe I'm imagining it, but I like to think it upsets him!!  I've found some really good books, so that is helping.  Since the transfer, I have been on progesterone in oil injections (Bill gives them to me every night), prednisone, doxycycline (an antibiotic), dexamethasone (to thicken my uterine lining), prenatals, and tomorrow I will add hormone patches.  Wowza.  So, I'm feeling a bit medicated.  My butt hurts from injections every night, but I don't mind!  Bill has been very supportive and understanding through all of this.  Which, a good husband should be...and he certainly is! 

I have to brag on my brother in law, Shawn for a minute.  The day I had my retrieval last week, Amy had to work and Bill had to go with me, so that left Shawn to baby sit Grace for us.  We stayed at Amy's pretty late that Friday and Grace spent the night.  She was so excited she could hardly stand it....I'm not really sure why, I guess because it was something different!  Anyway, Saturday they got up and Amy went to work and Shawn took Grace and Chace to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.  When the waiter came and asked what she wanted, she ordered FRIED SHRIMP!  When the waiter asked if she wanted anything to go with it, I guess her reply was simple enough, "Ranch".  She knew she could get away with that with Shawn!  Next, he took them to the mall so Grace could go to Claire's.  He and Chace waited outside the store so Chace could ride some rides (RIGHT next to the store, it's small and all glass windows so he could see inside).....and he sent her in with $25.  I cannot even IMAGINE how excited and grown up she felt shopping, being able to get anything she wanted.....we always oversee her purchases and try to talk her out of nonsense ones!  Well, this day she had free range!  And woudl you believe it, she didn't have enough money.  So, what does she do?  Goes out of the store and tells Shawn there was this purse she HAD to have but that she needed 11 more dollars.  Apparently, it was on sale!  Sucker that he is, he bought it for her!  What a dream she was living!  After we got home, Bill went to pick her up and she came back to show me her loot.  She got the very cute purse that she couldn't live without, a diary, a cool pencil, a change holder shaped like a little sock, maybe some lip gloss?, some candy.....oh, I can't even remember it all.  All in all, she had such a good time.  She even got to sleep with Amy in her bed and told Shawn the next day that she farted on him twice the night before....and he still spoiled her!  That's love.
