We have set the transfer date. 11/25. Our flights are booked. Leaving Thursday (thanksgiving) at 1 and returning Sunday 11/27 at 830 pm. We are boarding our dogs for the first time. I don't think Josh likes that idea, but we have no other options. My family will not watch them because they are huge puppies that get bouncy and into mischief. Plus its 4 days, not just two this time. So that's kind of a big to-do. I have to get each dog the boardatella vaccine. And I can not take them both at the same time. Its all the strength I have to keep Rocky under control at the Vet's office. I have learned the meaning of proper socialization. I had thought it meant making sure your dog wasn't easily scared or angered. It also means to make sure your dog is controllable in new, interesting situations. I failed with the latter. Rocky is so excited by new people and any other dogs, that I can pretty much not control him. I will definitely not be doing anything with him once pregnant. Dobie is well behaved but afraid. She loves other dogs but is wary of people. Even just going to Petsmart with her stresses her out a lot.
Anyway. I am to stay on bcp until 10/29. I was told they are mailing me my med instructions, and hopefully the meds too. I haven't heard much since I got the word on the confirmed date. I'm trying to think about when I can start to poas. I *HOPE* we will get a BFP and that the fist US will be before Xmas, that way I can tell my IPs if they will have one or two babies next summer. Getting the date has really motivated me to clean the house and unpack boxes. Since I don't want to have to do that pregnant either. The first trimester I plan to try to take things really easy. Try not to be stressed out, and eat healthy. Just really be a good place for a baby to develop. The second trimester I hope to be back closer to normal. Probably still need to make an effort to eat healthier than I do now. Plus if it is twins, I will need more calories. I'm already planning on buying a good fiber cereal :) Oh and I have my eye on a few maternity clothing items :)
Its really sinking in as real now. My dad and sister kinda are downers and do not support my being a GS. My mom doesn't either but at least she fakes an interest and helps me. I know Josh will support me in any way that I ask. And that will be the biggest help. Yesterday I had the exam for my life insurance policy. Everything went well. Just have to wait for the results of the blood work. I will start weekly blood draws and probably US too the first week of November. I think that's it for right now. I want to go find the perfect transfer day outfit :) And I must have something green or yellow the entire time I'm in CT, in fact until BFP :)
