Marshay - All best energy and thoughts for your poke-o-rama's success!! You are such a cool mom, I so want you to get to raise another lucky human.

Sending wonderful thoughts and prayers your way.......thinking of you!

Thanks a bunch!

The trigger shot went really well last night -- in fact I didn't feel it at all since I iced my bum for 30 minutes prior -- I wasn't feeling a thing! However, I am definitely sore from it today...

Tomorrow is our 2nd biggest day (egg retrieval) and then the BIG day is either 7/1 or 7/3 when they put everything back in!!

My mom is staying with us until tomorrow night to take care of DD. It's so good to have "my mommy" around!

Hang in there, Marshay!

Whenever I think of you, I put up a prayer.

Hi All,

Just touching base. Haven't read much but the last few pages.

Amy: So glad you are home safely. What a wonderful time you must have had. I really hope I can take Katie to NYC in a few years. I'll keep in touch with you about tips. BTW, I'm sure you hear it all the time, but you are absolutely beautiful (inside and out!). Great pictures!

Marshay: Keeping you in my thoughts! BTW my good friend went to the same SB'ing convention. I probably already mentioned that but I don't remember. I don't even really remember my daughter's name right now.

Everyone else: I'm still catching up so it's not that I'm not thinking of all of you, just no time to read. Thanks for posting about our miracle girl. She's really special.

Quick update:

We close on our current home Monday and on our new house on July 14th. Fast closing so lots of paperwork to submit in a short period of time. Movers come on the 9th. We'll be living with my in-laws from then until the 13th. Then around the 20th we'll go to be with my mom (wherever that may be). Long story there, but just don't go to Las Vegas and expect to get stellar medical care. There is a real crisis with healthcare in that city.

Our adoption date has been set for Tuesday! Another fast moving process all of a sudden with a few strings pulled to get it finished before we leave. What a relief!

Finally, I had a scary experience last Sunday at church. I was sitting there when all of a sudden I had double vision. I kept blinking to try to focus. Jeff asked what was wrong and I slurred out, "We have two bishops". He immediately said, "We're going to the ER, get up". My arms and legs were like lead and I just staggered around. He got me to the ER and I was feeling somewhat better, but still out of it. Turns out is is called a TIA (transient ischemic attack-sp?) It's like a mini stroke. They kept me overnight, took 20 vials of blood (Marshay, I know you know what that's like), gave me an MRI and an echocardiogram. Honestly, I really thought Bobbie's pneumonia was the last straw. Don't ever ask, "What else can happen?" You just might find out.

I'm fine now and just advised to try to reduce the stress in my life. When the stroke nurse said that I replied, "I'd love to. Would you suggest that I not deal with a move to WV? How about not dealing with my mother who has late stage cancer? Oh, perhaps I could just pretend that I'm not adopting a baby? Okey, dokey, right lady. You have no idea"

Anyway, thanks for always listening. I have a couple of things lined up for you as you fly by on the road trip. See you in a few days!

Oh SuzD!! My heart goes out to you!! You have so much on your plate right now that is both exciting and stressful and heartbreaking that you have no choice but to take it a bit easier. Your health must come first.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you too!

On a positive note -- yesterday the docs retrieved 22 eggs!!! Woo Hoo!!

Suz...about the adoption on Tuesday



Now, about YOU young lady.....you better take that nurses advice and reduce some stress. ( I know much easier said than done, but seriously, if there is ANYTHING that the Fleagles in Virginia can do to make things easier just let us know!) You must have been petrified going through that experience! I cannot imagine how you must have felt and with everything else you have going on.....yikes girl, you better stop and take it easy!

Can I send you a maid to come help clean the house before you move OR send muffins so you won't have to make breakfast? Seriously....let us know!
Take a deep breath!

You Go Marshay!

That's GREAT!

 

[Marshay]

Hey, Fleagles!! Just wanted to share a picture from my May Trip Report...see anything special???

 

[Circusgirl]

Suz - Take super good care, honey!!! Know that lots of loving thoughts come your way every day!

Marshay - Glad to hear the update about your progress toward (hopefully) new baby!!

 

[cherbear]

I just wanted everyone to know I'm still alive!

I am not even going to attempt to "catch up" so I'll just jump right in wherever I fit into!

Anyone want to volunteer to give me the condensed version?

It's been kind of quiet 'round here. I'll give you my update:

I'm still working on my IVF stuff -- we do the embryo transfer on Thursday!!!

 

[Disneyfalcon]

Hi everyone! I haven't checked in much lately but I've been reading along. We're in the middle of our move across the country from California to Rhode Island. We just drove from CA to Virginia and dropped off dh at Norfolk for a class. Then we flew back to Colorado where we'll stay for the summer. We all meet up again at the end of the summer in Rhode Island. Well after a quick trip to WDW.

Today's our 19th anniversary and unfortunately we're apart. I got married when I was 19 so I have now been married as long as I have been single!

I've enjoyed catching up when I can. Mrs. Fleagle did you read that article about Mario Lopez when you saw the picture? He had an um "interesting" reference to Disney in there.

Marshay I'll be thinking of you pm Thursday!

Suz I hope everything's going well today!

Hello everyone else!

Hi! (Welcome back!)

Now you've piqued my curiosity! I didn't read the article (or see the magazine). What did he say?

Hi disgeeks! They asked where the strangest place he'd ever had um, well, let's say intimate relations with someone, and his answer was on Pirates of the Carribean at Disneyland!!

For real!?! YIKES!

Here's hoping his little "extracurricular activity" took place well after hours in the Park!

 

[cherbear]

Wow! (about Mario Lopez)

and by the way...Hi!

 

[Disneyfalcon]

Thanks Cherber!! And I agree, wow!

 

[Suz D]

Thanks everyone for the good vibes. You are great to keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I think of my friends here all the time and I'm looking forward to when we can all reconnect at the end of the summer months.

Here's a fun picture to brighten your day (I know it brightened ours).

Judge Garvin, Jeff, Susan, Katie and introducing...Bobbie Anne Daniels (we changed the Ann to Anne in honor of Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables)

Marshay, thinking of you so much this week. Disfalcon, you travel safely and enjoy Colorado. Miss all of you. Where has Cat been lately?
