CD1 - IUI begins and Grandma's memorial service

CD1 arrived this morning, one day late. I actually wondered if a miracle had occurred, but nope - just a day late. It may be due to my new diet which Kacy had mentioned extended her luteal phase too. My luteal phase has always been 13 days, but this month it was 14. I guess that is a good thing. However I also dreamed last night that I miscarried/gave birth to octuplets. They came out of me in my dream last night - the size of puppies - really small, and there were 8! Freaky! :)

I go in on Friday for CD3 testing - unfortunately that is the same day as my grandma's memorial service so it's going to be one very busy morning. My appt. is at 8AM so I'll go there all dressed and ready for the service because then I have to go running around to the florists (Sam's Club and then a real florist too). As I may have mentioned I'm officiating the ceremony, which means I also had to plan the content. I finished the content yesterday, but I need to finish the eulogy tonight. My mom helped me out by printing the programs I created - thanks Mom!!! Tomorrow I have to practice it all, so I can be comfortable delivering it amid the emotion that will surely be present. I actually went to the cemetery on Monday to witness the burial of my grandma's ashes. I thought it was weird to do it ahead of time, but I'm actually glad I did it that way. I got very emotional and realize that my dad and aunts would have been very emotional to see that - and then I'd be expected to keep it together to deliver the service. It's going to be difficult enough. I am very happy that I was there to watch her remains be buried. I carried her from the cemetery assistant guy's car to her grave. Now I know exactly where they are. We are having Friday's memorial service at her graveside in White Chapel Cemetery in Troy. I hope it goes well - although it's going to be 90 degrees, so I hope the older people don't pass out. We are then going to lunch afterwards. I think it will be a nice honor/celebration of my grandma's life.

Here's the front and back page of her program.It does print normal - not cut off like it looks in the picture.
