Temptation

It's been a pretty busy weekend for me.

Friday, I attended the wedding of a friend of ours. My husband opted to skip the wedding to play golf and attended the reception. Due to my extreme embarrassment of his whereabouts, I opted to tell a little white lie about him working when I was at the church. But I am fairly certain that they saw right through it. I feared some sort of karmic revenge happening with our embryos, but I suppose I am over it now.

Saturday, I spent the day with my friend/coworker M, who will soon be undergoing radiation and chemo for her stage 4 lung cancer. She is just the coolest person, and I hate that this is happening to her. The gathering turned into an all day thing, and they were offering up alcohol toward the end of the day. I basically wound up fessing up to having done IVF to just 2 of my coworkers, and they were so excited for me. I later went to a get together with some old friends from nursing school. Pretty good to see everyone.

I am feeling pretty good these days. My boobs are becoming more sore. I have had sore nips since beginning the progesterone after retrieval, but now they are beginning to hurt on the sides. Not sure if I should be reading anything into that or not. I have also had some vaguely crampy feelings that come and go. Today in church I had the worst hot flash. I could hardly breathe it was so stuffy.

As averse as I am to weeing on a stick, it is becoming more and more tempting.
