Wedesday 9/19

     Wednesday morning went well. My husband met me there from work. He is a trooper because he was so tired from working all night. I did not have to get another sonogram so I do not know how much more it had developed. Once we had our sample in the centrifuge, my husband went on home to get some sleep since he had to work that night. It made the wait so long. I was so bored and was texting a few folks to help pass the time. It made me realize how much more bearable all the waiting is when I have my husband by my side. I did survive the wait and was called back to have the procedure. I was a little nervous that they may do something different in some way and I would be alone but it went as usual and seemed to go better than normal. There was one little glitch afterwards though....

    After they do the procedure, you are laying on a chair/table that is then placed at a slope where your feet are higher than your head so your tilted to help them swim. Well, I was busy posting grades on my phone when they came in to do it so I laid my phone on my chest. I was so ready to get back to my gradebook and not lose what all I had entered that I didn't realize that they did not give me the remote to the chair. I have to lay that way for 15 minutes and did not realize until about 13 minutes into it. I did not know what I was going to do to get out of the chair. I didn't know where the remote was hung on the chair and couldn't see or feel it from the way I was laying. So, every scenario I could think of came with a mental image of what could happen if it went wrong. It did make me laugh though. Rolling off the chair upside down with only that paper tablecloth looking "drape" to cover you made me laugh. I sure didn't want to knock anything over to make someone run in to check on me...I sure wasn't going to yell help either! I finally felt that there was buttons on a box below the chair and just started pressing stuff and THANKFULLY got out of the chair. I know this is not coming across as funny as it was to me. I wish you could have heard my thoughts and seen the mental pictures I had flying through my head during that moment of slight panic. I guess if that's the only thing that went differently without my husband there, then I say it went pretty well!

     I also thought that it was weird that this is now the 3rd time I have had an insemination on someones birthday. I had one on my birthday(May2), my mom's (July 23), and now my dad's (Sept. 19). I just thought that was kind of neat.
