Hope you all are doing well. My bronchitis is recovering nicely thankfully. I actually slept through the night last night which is a first since I've been pregnant. Whooo Hooooo. Why do I still feel tired then? LOL
We go for our first Dr visit next week. Can't wait to see how baby Khoury is doing!
We are expecting our first winter storm of the season tonight. I hope it blows over, because I have a lot of driving to do for work tomorrow. :) If it's icy, my but will be staying warm in Casa de Khoury.
Have y'all figured out where you are going to spend your taxes yet? It's looking like ours will go to paying 2007's tax bill... go figure. :)
Stay warm out there!

I’ve got bronchitis and it sucks!!!!!

Seriously though! Enough with this shit. I went to the hospital today becuase I'm not getting any better (urgent care is located there). They said, yeah you have bronchitis, and you need to quit smoking... uh, duh! I don't smoke. Guess my cough sounds like a smokers cough. LOL I bet I was asked about smoking 5 times before I left. They gave me a z pack though, because they don't want to mess around with me being preggers and all. And the lady was kind enough to point out that I was there this very same day last year due to food poisoning. Okay, I seriously hate January 20th now. 2 years in a row???
So, it's bed rest for me for a while. I've been in bed for 2 days now anyway. At least its a holiday weekend for me so I won't have to miss work Monday. I just hope I'm better in time to fly on Wednesday since I have to go to Oklahoma City.
And can someone please kick New England's ass? I am so tired of watching them win win win... boring. I'm ready for someone to take them down a peg or two. Maybe NY will be the team. I guess I'll be watching the game alone this year though because after our dr appt on the 31st, Sami is jetting off to Vegas. I wish I could go, but Vegas is no place for a pregnant lady. Sami will just have to win me tons of money to make up for leaving me here all alone.

I threw my back out tonight!

Which sucks for real when all I was trying to do was pick up a trashbag off the floor. The @$%$ thing wasn't even heavy. So it's happy meds for me tonight. Now we have 2 cripples in the Khoury household. LOL
We met with our fertility doctor last week, and we should be beginning the process again in a couple of days. Hopefully, we'll get a better outcome this time.
Sami is getting ready to go off to Vegas on his own the first week of November. Hopefully he'll make us all some money. I on the other hand, have to save my vacation days for Christmas so I'm staying my sorry but home this time. I'll be in NC the weekend before Halloween though. I can't wait to see everyone!
Plus, I have to bribe Braydon to tell me Hickory Dickory Dock.... :)

Happy Friday Everyone!

Just wanted to remind you all that daylight savings time is this Sunday. Great news for all of you going out to celebrate Leebug's bday! :) Wish we could be there, but we'll see y'all at Thanksgiving instead. Hopefully we'll have some good news by then. As of yesterday, we have 10 eggs, not quite a dozen, but as the Dr says, we are still "recruiting". Lol Our surgery is set for next week and we'll know for sure what's happening Thanksgiving week.

SAMI had his surgery yesterday

He ended up having to spend the night in the hospital due to some excessive bleeding from his knee. He's doing really well though and made it home this afternoon. He's up and walking on his crutches, but cannot take a shower for 2 weeks. I threatened to kill him if he eats garlic during that time!
We had a blast in Vegas. I've got to get back to eating healthy again though, because we start IVF again in a couple of weeks. It was impossible to do this week though because of Sami being in the hospital. The place had a tiny cafeteria that was only open like 1 hour a day and the hospital itself was located in the middle of the GHETTO. I kid you not. I didn't feel safe venturing out so I stuck to McDonalds which was right across the street. Big Mac it was then! LOL

Vacation - FINALLY!!!

Well it's finally here... Sami and I are going for a week of vacation in Las Vegas. We are so excited. I can't write much because I have to go and pack. :)
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! We are taking a much needed rest before Sami has knee surgery on Monday the 17th and we restart the IVF process. I'm looking forward to a week of shows and our first joint concert - Mana. I know, you are saying "WTF, WHO IS MANA?". They are a Mexican rock band that Sami and I fell in love with years ago. He has no idea what they are saying but loves the music. We should have a blast! The VMA's start tomorrow night so we should see lots of celebs....
Had to change my song this week too. For some reason, I love the new BS song even if I don't really care for her.

We will try again in October

For those of you who hadn't heard by now... we lost our first two embryos. This week has sucked majorly!! I've been depressed for sure and this is the first day I've signed back on to MySpace. I've not wanted to do anything. But now I'm beginning to look forward to October!
We got the news on Tuesday am from my IVF nurse. She's such a sweetheart, but I still broke down on the phone with her... I'm crying again even as I type this. Enough with the crying already!!!! But what really impressed me the most was that an hour after I spoke with Krissy, our IVF nurse, the Dr called me personally to extend his condolences. He told us he'd reviewed our case and thinks he's pinpointed the problem. We will be doing several things differently on the next go round thanks to the lovely effects that my PCOS has on my body. So for now, I'm still avoiding the sugar and gearing up for many more shots (about 30 more than last time at least) which should begin in mid October. The Dr and I agreed that my body needs a break for now.
On a more positive note, I'm sooooo happy my brother made it out of this week without a scratch! He had the week from hell too, but as Dana says in her blog, definitely had a guardian angel or two watching over him. I dedicate the song on my page to him, and he'll know why even if the rest of you think I'm crazy...LOL
I am looking forward to a much needed vacation starting next Friday. I'm waiting for Sami to get home now so that we can go out shopping for a couple of items to plan for our trip. It's almost our little ritual now - before we go to Vegas, we have to buy new shoes!
