OK enough winning. Endless gratitude for all your support. I did have a tough day yesterday but I refused to do it again. As I finish my salad at the "White Chocolate Grill" in Park Meadows tonight, I reflect on the day. Here's how it went down. I got all glammed up and decided to hit Boulder after the clinic. Went for my daily appointment and here is today's follie line up:
21, 20, 17, 16.5, 15, 14.5, 11, 9, 8.5, 7, 6 (at >22 or <15 they are unusable)
So here's the weird part. All of the ones on the left overy grew the expected 2mm and all of the ones on the right did not budge, actually, they shrank. AND, we have two that showed up for the party, but very unsociably late. They will sit in the corner drinking Gonal wine, watching everyone else having fun on the drugs.
So here's some relief. Egg retrieval will not be on Monday YEY! Can't wait to get hubby at the airport tomorrow and show him what I got him today in Nederland. Oh Right....back to my day. I found the most amazing thing in Nederland....an insiration...and perhaps a little something to keep me going through all of this. They reconstructed an Carousel from 1910, put it in a building and now it's a museum with an indoor Carousel ride. For only a $1 per ride, I couldn't resist. I rode the Zebra. All three times. Between the second and third time, I visited their puppet room, upstairs in the attic. I was in heaven. I love those little cove attic rooms, and I told that to the little puppet on my hand. Hey, what happens in the puppet room, stays in the puppet room. Then one more ride on the Carousel. While I was gliding up and down, round and round, I felt like a kid and a mother all at the same time. It made me laugh and then cry and then laugh again. The name of the Carousel was "Carousel of Happiness". Then it dawned on me. Maybe I was brought here today to cheer my soul, or to bring me some solace in that magic attic room. Or maybe because there will be some happiness at the end of this little merry-go-round too.
What a beautiful post! Reading it made me smile! I can definitely picture you and your and your young son or daughter riding the carousel one day soon! Ues - the weather yesterday was glorious - even in the evening it was warm. So glad you enjoyed Boulder and Nederland (I've never been there. Now I'll definitely have to go!). So happy that your ER is not tomorrow and you'll get to visit with your friend! Hope Stef has a safe flight into Denver.
ReplyDeleteSo if we're going to be hopeful about "signs", like my dream, here's another for you: Checked my email, read your post, went to next email, which was from Frette (I loooove Frette, can't afford it but like to "window shop"), and it was an add for baby thingies, like cashmere blankets etc. I didn't even know they had baby stuff. So it must be a sign that I should save a few $ to buy you a chashmere baby blankie...
ReplyDeleteLoved this post. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been fun to read about what out of staters do when they're in Denver at CC.RM - I live here and haven't done half of the cool things you're doing! Now I'll have to make a point to get to Nederland.
I can't wait to read the post where you're posting pictures of your Little Diiorio on that carousel!
Sounds like you're having fun Iveta. Have fun with your friend tomorrow! Follies look like they're doing well.
