to 98.0, so that means period is on the way - later today or tomorrow. I am not surprised but I could tell my husband was very disappointed. I took my temp at around 3:30am and he was up and on his way to work by 5:00am. Even though the chance of it working was only about 1%, he wanted to believe it would work. So IVF here we come! I'm going to have 1 glass of wine tonight to celebrate.
Easter weekend was nice. We went to my sister's house on Saturday and enjoyed a nice traditional Easter meal with ham, sweet potatoes, etc. We also played guitar hero with my three nieces/nephew. Four of us could play at once - singer, drummer, guitar, bass player. It was a blast although I was horrible at it. I tried the drums and I could not keep the beat for the life of me. I was much better at singing, even though I'm a terrible singer......but it was easier to get the high/low tones. It was a ton of fun and we laughed so hard our bellies hurt.
Yesterday we went to mass and then to my in-laws for an Italian-eat-way-too-much-food-fest. My mom was supposed to come but she got a flat tire on the highway on her way down, so my sister and brother-in-law rescued her. Poor mom. Dinner was nice at my in-laws, although my sister-in-law was in a bad mood as usual. She is my husband's much younger sister, she's 24, and we never know what is going on with her, but she is about as friendly and sociable as a rock. It used to bother me, but now I just ignore her when she is like that. I have another post in my mind that I will write sometime in the future about my hopes and dreams for my own daughter (should I have one). I just pray to God that if I have a daughter, we will be close like my mom and I are. I realize it may be difficult since I'll be more than 40 years older than her, but I still hope.
We did enjoy playing with our niece and nephew. Our nephew is just 8 weeks old and he was really good yesterday. Our niece is almost 2 and she is a total hoot - such an attention hog and so animated, I love that age. Tony's brother and his wife are the parents and they actually asked us to be the kids guardians in their will/trust in case anything ever happened to them. We feel very honored.

I'm sorry, but I'm glad you have a plan b...
And I say, have two glasses of wine.
So sorry. We had hoped for IUI's to do the trick too.
Glad you had a nice Easter, the Italian feasting sounds like my in-laws dinner yesterday!
That's so nice that you're close to your brother and sister in law and they want you to be their kids guardians.
I understand the desire to have a relationship with a daughter that's sweet and close. I pray the same things. I don't think age is as much a factor as we think it is though. I think it's definitely possible to have a wonderful close relationship even if there are more years between.
Enjoy that glass of wine!
Ugg, sorry for the temp dip...
That is very special about your niece and nephew! What an honor.
And Ill join you in having some wine=)
Sorry about this cycle...as for the age difference you'll have with your kids..it's all relative. My mom and I are super close and she was 40 when she had me. It doesn't make any difference to us. But I'm sending you hugs :-)
Boo for temp drops. I'm glad you had a good Easter though.
I wouldn't worry too much about your age- my mom was older and as much as she drives me nuts much of the time I wouldn't trade her or our relationship for the world.
I'm sorry about the drop, but I'm glad you're excited about IVF!!
I'm really praying hard for you this next cycle!
Enjoy your glass of wine, Cole and I are going to be having a few ourselves.
Make it a good Chianti. I'd mail you a bottle if I knew it'd get there... but the Italian post is notoriously unreliable!
So sorry about Aunt Flo coming... I'm sorry too for your husband and his disappointment. Good for you to be so optimistic.
Your relationship with your mom is a good sign you will have a good relationship with your daughter. It means your mom did something right and you will most probably end up doing the same things too. My mom was 42 when she had me and she is a fabulous mom. We were very close though now having the Atlantic Ocean between us makes it hard. I am so happy she taught me how to be a good mom. That's the greatest gift a mom can give her kids. I hope you will get to pass on that gift!!!
