Monday morning we headed out for a little walk. Coop passed out the second we got out the door.
We took a picture on my Polaroid camera the other day and Coop has been carrying it around with him. He kept giving it smooches during a diaper change and it melted me. He is just the sweetest boy.
A favorite this week has been PB&J sandwiches. He’s got a mouthful right here.
We ran a few errands Monday when I finished with work for the day before we headed to Coop’s swim lesson.
He loves to pretend to drive any time we get in the car. He has learned to turn my car off, so that’s fun…he gets the biggest smile when he pushes the on/off button and everything turns off.
We had one of our favorite meals Monday and Tuesday night: sweet potatoes topped with chicken, cheese, bbq sauce, black pepper, and Yum Yum sauce. So. Good. Make this one, friends!
The cutest summer-lovin’ boy!
I did not get the news I wanted at my mid-cycle appointment yesterday. They have canceled this entire cycle due to the mass behind my uterus. Long story short – I had a similar mass during our transfer with Coop, which pushed things back a few months because they thought it was Hydrosalpinx, which would’ve required them to remove my fallopian tube. It ended up not being Hydrosalpinx, but it obviously hasn’t gone away and no one can tell me what it is. I am now going to be doing yet another HSG to see if we can get some answers. I am fine with that and think it’s an okay plan, but I am beyond frustrated with how it happened. I finally reached out to our clinic doctor after my ultrasound yesterday because the mass just looks a little scary. I had a sweet friend’s husband offer to look at my scans, too, and he encouraged me to get it checked out. So after that prompting, I emailed our doctor to see what her thoughts were. Despite me bringing it to my coordinator’s attention two weeks ago, my doctor didn’t seem to be up-to-date on things. After viewing my latest scans, she canceled this cycle and wants to do more testing. I am frustrated for multiple reasons…first, did my coordinator even bring it up? The clinic here in town doing my monitoring has been worried about it since day one and sent all the images to our IVF clinic with stars and notes saying to look closely at the spot. Second, if I hadn’t asked questions, would they have just gone forward with our transfer? If it is Hydrosalpinx (like they thought last time), that could kill our embryo. Absolutely not okay to leave it. Third, why wasn’t this decision made TWO weeks ago when we first discovered the mass? I know in the grand scheme of things, this isn’t a big deal, but we are definitely frustrated and a little pissed off. And I’m really not looking forward to another painful HSG. It’s part of the process, so I’m giving it to God, but man. My poor body has really been through it.
Coop follows Rhea around our house all day. If she plops down somewhere, so does he.
Coop was pretty amazed at my Mega Bloks building skills. He promptly knocked this puppy over, but it was cool for five seconds.
Today has already been a crazy day. I’m waiting to hear back about my HSG, I’ve done a few loads of laundry, vacuumed, had a meeting, got caught up on email, did a little writing, and now we’re about to head out for a run – and it’s not even noon! I have a feeling I’m going to sleep well tonight. Ha!
Happy Wednesday, friends!
