Okay, have achieved a few things....

Breakfast for me and DD done
Washing load in done
S and S bathroom done
Chicken on for stock done
Make beds done
Think about dinner done

Right, when DD goes for nap I will:
Clean mirrors
Assemble chicken casserole for dinner
Sweep out porch and do quick mission
Have nice cup of tea as a reward for working so hard

to all.just wanted to say i have been lurking thank you for all your kind words,positive vibes & sticky,warm womb like thoughts
Embryo transfer was completed yesterday, very uncomfortable for me as usual due to the tilt to my uterus & the full bladder never helps. Very emotional due to all the extra hormones in my body & due to the fact I am complete wuss! I was on my own as DH had to watch Ellie in the waiting room(not sure if thats a good thing to have her at the clinics but what can you do)Nurse,consultant &embryologist where all very nice to me(which makes me cry more).they must have thought I was a complete loon
Anyway thanks ladies for all your support to my long term flyfriends & new fly friends thanks you.Especially bianca you have been a star & the lovely of lovelys as always
The not so frostie frostie thank you all too.Now for the long 2 week wait.So taking it easy, very light fly duties for the next wee while. I am more like myself now that the injections have stopped.thank you for all your understanding just what a girl needs at a time like this.[feck I am crying again!]

babyjjbaby · 04/03/2008 10:56

sagacious · 04/03/2008 10:58
