On Waiting and Cycling with Children

I was thinking today how I posted yesterday that this cycle is much easier than the last, and in the ways I listed, it is.  However, one way it is definitely not easier is that it's hard to cycle with two children at home, especially with a toddler-age boy. Unlike Audrey, who could sit quietly at appointments, I really can't trust Ian at appointments -- quietly or not. I'm worried that R&R will be more difficult with him around too.  So that part is definitely harder.

S had to work really early this morning, so we went to bed, set the alarm clock for just before midnight, staggered out of bed, did the injection, got four more hours of sleep, and had the alarm go off for Scott to get up.  I had to go into the clinic for an HCG check to be sure that the injection was effective.  S was working and 7 am on Saturday is way too early to find a babysitter, so I took the kids -- boy am I glad I haven't had to do that before!  Dr. C called this afternoon and said everything looks good for tomorrow!

It's one of those "waiting" days that is long and a little stressful to just be "waiting," but this is really just teh start as I'm just about to enter the dreaded "two week wait.
