Hawaii day 5

Can i just stay here? Except for the perma bad hair i love it!

I am going to just copy and paste what i just wrote as a journal for our trip so far. As i am writing i am sitting on deck on the ship in the sun with a hefty breeze staring at the mountains and ocean at Maui! 

Thursday arrive 230 pm. walk down beach for dinner at Hula Grill. Watch sunset on the beach by the hotel.

Friday get up early and take shuttle to Pearl Harbor memorial. Tour USS Bowfin submarine, 10am boat to USS Arizona memorial. The. Take bus over to USS Missouri and tour. Back to hotel dinner and swim in ocean and watch the sunset again

Saturday check out of hotel and take a taxi up to Diamondhead. Hike to the top, it was hot and windy! But worth it. Walked back down to town and got lunch at Duke's bar. Yum! Taxi over to ship and board.

Sunday we got up and caught out shuttle to our Molokini snorkel and turtle snorkel! 2nd windiest harbor in the world. It was 4-5 foot waves while snorkeling at Molokini but saw lots of fish. We got back on and moved over more by shore to Turtle Town and got back in to snorkel and saw sea turtles! They are huge!

Monday we had to wake up at 230am to catch the 3 am shuttle to the sunrise over Haleakala crater at 9700 feet! It was 45 ish with winds around 25 mph so it was cold! But so pretty! After the sun was up we went to the top of the crater and could see the big island across the water. We started to come down and had lunch at about 3700 feet it was yummy! We got back to the boat and took a nap after straightening around excursions for tomorrow. Then I got a Lomi Lomi massage that was awesome!

It is freaking Christmas in August!!!!!!!!!!

So many presents fell from the sky!!!
First in my meeting this morning was the best donut I have ever had!!!!!
Then I get back to the office and find out the most annoying girl ever with SO much drama that has needed to leave for a long time. Well The best present of the Day... She turned in her notice...
Next best present, I heard her last day is going to be the 30th which means I only have to see her 1 more day!!
The best present of August is that we leave Thursday morning for our wonderful trip! I am all packed except for meds and a razor I think... So ready to check into our flights tomorrow and have those tickets ready to go!
OMG I almost forgot one of the presents today... I actually got my review (only 3 weeks late this year) and got a 5% raise. It was kinda a dumb review he wouldn't listen to me with my concerns but still said I was one of the best assets to the company. I am sure he was making that up but whatever it felt good! he also said if I found a training class out of town I wanted to do he would be okay with me traveling for it as long as it isn't to Hawaii in February. So I told him I would pass on that since I go to Hawaii on Thursday!!

Happy and sad at the same time

Happy because we leave Thursday morning for 10/11 days in paradise...
yet can't help but be bummed out because unless Hawaii is super magical and good to us we are bumped to October IVF as of this very moment unless I can beg the RE to do my tests anyway!

14dpo, still just a little spotting...
But I reread all my paper work and it said that all my tests (Mock transfer, AFC, office hysteroscopy and cultures) need to be done after AF but before CD11.

So since AF isn't really here yet and we leave Thursday morning for vacation this isn't happening this cycle. I might take a test tomorrow and call and and tell them I have been spotting and got a negative test and see if I can still come in, but knowing my luck AF will be here full force Tuesday afternoon and they won't be able to do the tests anyway.

6 days, 6 days, 6 days Wooootttt

In 6 days I will be in Hawaii by now! I am so beyond happy!!
I have started making lots of lists! Packing lists, to do this week lists, to make sure we do before we leave lists.... I like lists!!
It has been a bit of a rough week but I think things are all good now... I think... and just need this time away!
I still can't believe our 5 year anniversary is in 2 weeks!

My temps are throwing me all off, it started dropping for 2 days and started getting cramps and then this morning it jumped way back up super high. But I Think I had a little spotting a bit ago. Really want AF to start tomorrow so that all my tests can be done on Tuesday. Please body?? I have not in the last 2 years begged to start my period more than I am right now. I don't want to be pushed off until October for IVF. Please body??

But i guess I will get over it I guess because in 6 days... this will be me...

11 days!!

11 days from right now I will be in Hawaii hopefully sitting on the beach or looking at some beautiful scenery!

I am beyond excited, and when I was putting away laundry today I decided instead of putting it all away in the dresser I grabbed a laundry basket and filled it with things I want to pack. That basket is full! At least I don't need to worry about what the weather is going to do it has been 86 and sunny for the last 3 weeks, so sundresses, shorts and tanks and lots of bathing suits!!

I have a feeling sitting on a plane all day is going to kill my back so that will not be fun. Biking 8 miles on Thursday made me super sore, but it seems to be muscle pain. I see Dr Stacy again on Wednesday and will ask her what I should be doing or what I can do on the plane.

Only 8 more days of the dumb asses at work and that is the best thing ever! That place has been so insane lately. My eyelid starts twitching as soon as certain people start talking.

Not a lot going on 7dpo here waiting for AF to show. Hopefully no later than Saturday, because then I think I can have all of my tests done next Tuesday the 20th. and not have to wait until september. E got his bloodwork done and scheduled his SA for later this week so his end is all taken care of.  Mine all depends on my body unfortunately!
And I need to open that folder up and read all of my IVF paperwork.

I did survive a day yesterday with 2 yr old twins, 8 month old triplets and 8 month old twins (all from fertility treatments). It was kind of hard. E immediately grabbed a baby and spent the day holding him and giving me the look of I want one. That hurt, I wish so badly I could give him one. Luckily I see the older twins all the time so I am better with them than the other babies so I spent most of the day outside playing with them but ended up with one of the triplets in the evening and she is so sweet and I just loved holding her. My heart broke, we should have one by now. :(

Randoms

I have had these pinned on Pinterest forever. and I love all of them. I think right now they all really apply!

Happy Anniversary honey!!

It has been an awesome 5 years and I am so happy to have you in my life!!!

I

Wut did my body listen?

Um... so maybe my body listened to my begging yesterday!
I thought I was out of OPKs but found a couple in the master bath and took one this morning and It was glaringly positive!! Yay body! Now lets just see that temp spike tomorrow, Please Please Please!?!?!?!?!

yep... my low back/right hip is still messed up... Been sore most of the day, but don't know if it is from this morning or  from moving stuff for my parents yesterday or doing C25K W1D3 this morning as well... It is probably a combo of all 3. But I need to go take more meds to see if it helps.

But yesterday we booked the last of our excursions for our cruise! I am so excited!! We spent as much on excursions as we did on the cruise itself! Oops! But really when are we doing to do it again? We will only have one 5 year anniversary.
I am looking forward to snorkeling with... Our snorkel trip is the excursion I am looking forward to the most. But I am so excited for the whole trip. I can't wait to just go and not have any stress with work or babies or I guess i should say Lack of babies....

We fly out in 17 days I think it is... I really want to start gathering things to pack!

Please body cooperate... Okay??

You need to ovulate today or tomorrow so that I can start my period no later than 7/17 so I can do bloodwork and tests on the 20th for a Sept IVF... Please body, please, please please.... I want to get my testing done before we go to Hawaii so I don't have to worry about it and can get this show on the road...
One of the lovely ladies on the bump made this lovely badge as one of a few for people doing Sept IVFs, I don't think it is our official badge but since monarchs remind me so much of my grandpa I had to get the picture for here. I think it is a good sign.
