I've decided that in addition to everything else, I'm going to try and keep this blog updated on our journey to becoming parents. So, to that end, I began what I'm going to call "The Quest for Motherhood" ("TQfM" for short) early yesterday morning.
After everything that happened last week, I booked an appointment with my primary care physician regarding a referral to a local Reproductive/Fertility Institute. Well, my "talk" with the doctor turned into a physical (which I haven't had in years). I ended up with a Tetanus shot and I also had to do blood work. EWWWW! I hate shots and I hate blood work even more. Needles scare me! (Well, those kind anyway...) Would you believe my arm
still hurts from that stupid shot!
At least I had some good news. I lost another pound! Wheeee!

In stitchy news, I'm so very close to finishing up that model. Good thing too, because I got some "Happy Mail" at work today......a Priority Envelope from
The Attic in Mesa, AZ (my favorite shop of all time)! It contained the last BBD Loose Feathers as well as some other wonderful BBD books/charts that I've been wanting. In particular, I'm most enthralled with the book "A Schoolgirl's Work". You see, there is a wonderful pattern in it that will be my new start. It is more than appropriate for me right now and I knew the instant I saw it that I had to stitch it. Honestly, I was ready to leave work "sick" so that I could go home and stitch! Plus, Hubby just informed me that I have more "Happy Mail" at home. I wonder what that could be since I haven't ordered anything else.....
I do hope traffic will be kind to me on the way home!
Happy Stitching!

It is so nice to see you in better spirits today. This Dr. visit sounds like the start of better news to come! I will continue to remember you and hubby in my prayers.
OUCH...Tetanus shots hurt for a while afterward.
I know how it is when a pattern is "calling" you. Can't wait to see some progress pics.
Ouch on the tetanus shot! They hurt! I love BBD and will be watching to see your stitches!
Sending warm hugs and good thoughts!
I don't like needles either, I always have to look the other way!
BBD are always a great treat. That schoolgirl's work looks like it has so many great designs. Looking forward to seeing your stitchings.
sending you big hugs and sweet thoughts..

Good luck with your quest, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you .XXX
I hope your happy mail was really fabulous. I also hope you got the chance to get started on a new project last evening!
Happy mail is the best! And you're having a double dose. :-)
Good luck with your TQfM. I'll keep you in my prayers.
The Attic in Mesa has now become my favorte shop. We went on a hiking trip in 2010 to Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, and Sedona (gorgeous place!) and I talked DH into driving to Mesa just to visit The Attic. It was well worth the drive. WOW!!
My daughter was told on her 1st consult re infertility that losing 10% of body weight can really help if a body need to lose some weight.
Always nice to get surprises in the mail, even if it's something we ordered...
Here's to the Quest!!
