Margot’s snoring has gone to an all time BAD. It’s so friggin loud that even when I’m awake I can’t even hear myself think. We fight over it constantly and I just woke her up a few minutes ago, we had a fight and when she asked what she should do about it - I told her “go sleep in the car.”
Nice, right?
She tried that stupid breathing machine and that’s the biggest racket in this world. THe thing choked her and the mask on her fast didn’t even make it through one night. She tried all of the different ones too.
The next thing is to try a mouth guard. Of course, it all comes at a price and I think the mouth guard is around $800.

to trim down! I want to totally go the healthy route. I’m talking good food and exercise. My friend started some safe fat burners and has lost tons of weight. However, I really don’t think that would be a good option for me.
The one thing I really need to work on is cutting down on the sugary breakfast and go with something that will fill me up and not make me hungry by 9:00am. Then there’s the snacking. It’s so easy to do when I’m home with the kids.
I’m getting rid of all of the chips and junk in the house when we get back.
It’s healthy eating from here on out!

I have my big appointment with the fertility doctor Monday. I have the following questions to ask:
1. Will he do the same protocol?
2. Is he willing to be aggressive and transfer many embryos like last time?
3. Can I get my thyroid and prolactin levels tested?
4. What is the success rate these days?
5. Is there anyway to spin the sperm to have greater chance of male sperm?
TMI: I started my period tonight and I’m guessing that full flow will be tomorrow. So that will be CD 1. The dilemma is that I’m already taking half of the day to go to Syracuse to have my consult. I just don’t know if I’m going to be able to squeeze in bloodwork too. I have to pick the kids up from school at 3:30 and Margot’s working late and so I’m going to have to have dinner, bath, etc.
I don’t know when we’re going to do the cycle because I’d prefer not to do this in the summer. We’re going to be traveling and I just can’t deal. BUT…I also don’t want all of this lingering on too long.
I think we might go ahead and try when my next cycle gets here - some time in April. Once this gets started I know it’s going to go so fast.
I’m excited. And scared.

We’re leaving tomorrow to head back to Ithaca. I’m a bit anxious because we have TONS of snow and we haven’t been home at all. Which means that our driveway is going to be totally covered and we’ll more than likely have to shovel our driveway just to get in.
At least we will have one day to recoup before the kids go back to school. We’ve been trying to think of good options for school lunches. What really gets us is food storage. We don’t like using plastic and we’re afraid that glass will break in their lunchboxes.

Last night one of my friends from the I-Village boards lost her husband. He had been sick every since their 3 year old twins were born and over the past year had been in and out of hospitals.
After the long battle - he passed.
It’s really sad that people can work so hard to get something and then all of a sudden not be here to enjoy it. Just like Margot’s dad who had been addicted to drugs for so many years - he gets straightened out and then dies from cancer.
Seriously? What kind of mind fuck is this? It’s brutal.
I’m sad for my friend. She has three small kids and now it’s just her and the kids.
I just don’t get it. I don’t understand why life has to work out like this and why good people who are kind to others get the short end of the deal.
