My Screening Appointment

Sunday evening the family drove up to Alameda. Lisa and Gerry were nice enough to let us stay at the house. I had an early morning flight and didn't want to make the drive at 4am. We were unlucky thought because Lachlan was asleep when we got there and still asleep when we left. Nick hasn't seen him since he was a day old and I don't think he believes me about how big he is.
So Monday morning we left the house at 6:45 and got to SFO at 7:30. My flight was at 8:30 so I got through security and grabbed a bite to eat. Nick and the girls planned on going to pier 39 to spend the day while they waited for me to get back.
I made it to my appointment 30 minutes early and got my blood work drawn. They stuck me in the room and told me to put on the paper gown. Let me tell you how comfortable those gowns are. My behind was starting to get cold when Dr. R came in. He asked me general health questions and about my birthing history. It changes so often I need to keep people updated, lol. Then came the wonderful exam. For the most part it wasn't bad but then came the saline ultrasound. For those of you who don't know what that is, look it up, this is a family read blog. According to the u/s my uterus looks great. Good size and nothing in there that shouldn't be.
After all was said and done with Dr. R I met with Anita, our nurse coordinator. She told me that as soon as my blood work came back and Nick's too that we would be cleared to wait until March. We went over what our calendar would be like and I am lucky enough to not have to use BCP's or lupron. So that means only PEO and estrogen. I am keeping track of my cycles so we will have a tentative date but we will know for sure whenn nI start my cycles in March. Day 19 + or - a few days will be the day I will transfer Rex and Penny's little sibling.
