Day 10 update and time for a second job!

We went to the doctor this morning. We slept through out alarm and had only 10 minutes to get ready. I think we were really tired. Last night we went out to Pitsburg Blue Steakhouse and indulged ourselves. We were able to arrange an overnight for A***** with her mom in order to have our first night out in two months. It was very enjoyable, and we took our time at the restaurant.

So today we had an ultrasound and blood work to check our progress. I had 8 large follicles still with 2 more potentials. I also had 13 smaller eggs. NO wonder I am feeling full. The doctor likes to see 10-12 eggs so we are pretty much on track. They did however potentially push back our retrieval date to next wednesday. I have to go back in on Monday to get the final date (tues or wed).

After our appointment we took Grandma Dee out for her bday brunch. It was fun to be able to have time with her on her bday. She was very excited for us, and thinks that twins would be a splendid bonus!

More waiting!

I was offered a part time teaching position at Metro State, and I start on Monday. I will be teaching pathophysiology for nursing. I fell into this opportunity, and I am very excited. This extra cash should help us to pay off the invitro debt. This is a miracle, because I recently asked the Lord to show me additional streams of income. It was God to get a part time teaching job, because the semester has already started. It turns out that the prof unexpectedly quit and they are in a hurry to find a replacement. I decided last week to just call and check potential opportunities. The nursing dept secretary said, "You couldn't have called at a better time. I will connect you with the dean immediately." They also offered me several teaching opportunities for the summer session. Jason is a little concerned that it will be too much for me, but I think I am up for it. I have been feeling that it is really important for me to keep my foot in the nursing world.
