So as many of you may remember, hubby & I took a trip to Puerto Rico to see our best friends marry one another.  We were both in the wedding (& they were both in ours).  Adelyn was supposed to be the flower girl but dragging her there & filling all our responsibilities in the bridal party just seemed to be too much.  So my SIL (w/triplets & bonus baby!) offered to watch her for us while we went.  Let me just say it was one of the hardest things ever!  I have spent whole days away from her but have always been home for her in the morning.  Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful for the time with hubby, but we both missed her terribly.  Sadly, she had a stomach virus & ear infection while we were away too!  Imagine taking antibiotics while having diarrhea already!  My SIL is a stinkin' rock star & was so great w/her.  Our phone service kind of stunk so I didn't get to FaceTime her like I had hoped but we did get plenty of videos & pics sent of her playing with her cousins.  We did not see her for a total of 5 days & she has been pretty darn clingy ever since.  But for now, I don't care.  I'm pretty darn clingy to her too.

While in PR I was on clomid.  So happy to report that I did not have any hotflashes while there!!  Thank goodness for that!  But it sure did make me more emotional!  When we got back I went in on CD 11 to learn that I had 2 follies measuring 17mm & 20mm already (one in each ovary)!  Those buggers seem to be growing earlier each time!  So I took the trigger the next night & we did the IUI on Fri.  I am now 3dpiui & so far not obsessing too much.  Guess that's not saying much as it's only been 3 days.  I am doing the lovenox injections & this time taking estrace because my lining was not thick enough.  I think it's a combo of the follies growing so quick it doesn't have a chance & the clomid.  However, I am once again not taking the progesterone & demanded a CD 21 blood test to check levels.  It is absurd how sick that stuff makes me no matter what kind I use.  I feel strongly that prog is not a problem for me as it's always been over 20 when tested on CD 21.  So please pray it's a good number as I REALLY don't want to take it!  I am not going to test before 13dpiui this time cuz I'm sick of driving myself crazy. 

I sadly was so busy I didn't get to take many pictures but this is one of the beach we were staying on.  The clouds look a little scarier than they were.  It was actually quite nice out! 

And here is a pic of my little love yesterday before church!  I swear she she just gets cuter if that's possible.

    Being away for so many days was harder the first time than I thought it would be, but I hope you were able to enjoy the trip in spite of missing your kiddo. Good luck with the 2 WW. It would be fun to be pregnancy buddies again... Just saying... :)

    Addy is precious!!! She really is beautiful!

    I'll be away from Ella for two weekends in April. My parents will be with her, but I know it's going to be so hard! I can't imagine a week!

    I'm also in a 2WW...though our "timing" was a little off, so we'll see what happens. Praying for peace for both (all!) of us.

    I'm glad you're back with your little lady. It's nice to spend time together, but being without the kids is hard.

    I'll be praying for you! :)
