3rd Doctors Visit

Hello All....

Today was a the first "big" day of many "big" days to come at the Drs. office. I recieved my ultrasound. The 11 follicles, 7 on the left, 4 on the right, are growing and moving along quite as they should be. Dr. Anna gave me a retrieval day on Saturday the 17th at 0800. Thursday will be my last day of stims. Goody, goody gum drops, cause I'm tired of being a pin cushion! Those shots don't get any easier, let me be the first to say. I do the HCG ""Trigger"" shot at 2000 on Thursday evening, no shots on Friday. He said he should retrieve about 8 or 9 eggs out of the 11 follicles. He also said he will do a 5 day Blast.....sooooooooo that means worry wart over here will be thinking and praying for nothing other than that the eggs grow in the dish and I actually make it to "THE" 5 day transfer. Oh Please, O Please...O Pretty please...........Fingers crossed.

It's a funny thing that happens at the Drs. office. There are sooo many Americans that come to this place. It's almost like a factory. They are so precise there and are very thourough. Or so I seem to notice. Big Business........I am happy to have a turn here. This, I truly believe, is the end of my fertility journey. Sometimes it's more than I can handle. Now the fun really begins.....Anxiously Awaiting.....or maybe that part comes next week, I'm not sure where I am in the textbook of feelings.

I want to mention my beautiful night here in the Zlin, Czrch Republic last night. The very nice man that runs the hotel, Lucas, pronounced Lucash (Rollerblade guy), drove Lisa and I to his other restaurant about 5 minutes away. It's more gourmet than the restaurant where we are staying. The atmosphere felt like we were eating in a log cabin, complete with a fish tank upon entering. The fish inside were no other than ""Sturgeon" as in Caviar! Uhhh, helloooo, one would never see that in the states. Anyhoo, he explained to us how his grandfather owned the whole buiding way back when, until the communists took it over. They actually had to fight to get it back. They definately got it back in the family. They are planning to redo it into a 5 star restaurant and hotel. He also explained to us how his father is a butcher and that he would get us some Kolbasa, the way it should be made. He balked at us when we told him how delicious the "Bratwurst"" was in Praugue, and to our horror, he called it ""SH*T"" in plain ol English...HA-HA.....Go Figure.!!!

We continued on with a beautiful red wine made right here in Czech that he picked out for us. I ordered the prawns, head and all. The accutrouments included "hrnolky"French Fries...yummy. Lisa had the Roast Beef including dumplings that were as big as a head of lettuce, not kidding! So respectful was this Lucash, he left us to go visit his mother who lives upstairs so we could enjoy our dinner. He came back after a while and then ordered us Lemon sorbet with a sugar rim in a martini glass. It originally comes with Tequila, but we were not quite in the Tequila mood, some other time maybe:) All to digest with Italian esspresso!!! Ha.....then as we went for our check, Lucash insisted that we were his guests and that we were not to pay. Ummmmm, excuse me, he is the son of the owner of the Baltaci. We are his customers not his guests..........

Small little of injections of loveliness, other than hormones.......ahhhhhhh....life is good......

Love you alllllllll
