Evening everyone!
I am being kind of a lazy butt today and I wasn't going to post until tomorrow but I have so much to tell that I didn't think I could fit it all in!
I had my hystosalpingogram on Wednesday. All I can say is that anyone who thinks that does not hurt, must have their nerve endings deadened from being so stupid. That was THE most painful thing that has ever happened to me thus far in my 25 years on this planet. Number one, the nurse who was there with me, was a complete pain in the ass. She was crabby and rude and I wasn't really having that. Second, the room was like something out an alien movie. It looked like they were going to remove my spleen to sell it on the black market.
Dr. Sebastian was as gentle as he could possibly be, but as my luck would have it, my right fallopian tube was 100% blocked. They were able to remove the blockage completely, which I realize is a good thing, but man alive! That hurt so incredibly bad! I am not really a crier when it comes to pain, but I was bawling like a baby. To make matters worse, when I stood up off the table, I gushed blood all the way down to my feet! I had to have the nurse's aid scrub the blood off the bottoms of my feet. It was mortifying. Dr. S did say that he would be surprised if I did not get pregnant this cycle. I appreciate his support, but I just can't allow myself to get all excited about it. I don't want to get my hopes up and then be crushed again. But if you can keep your fingers crossed and send your prayers my way, I would appreciate it!
On to Christmas:
Ahhh.... my favorite holiday. I absolutely adore Christmas and I really did it big this year. As you know, I hosted this year. I spent all day on Friday cleaning, and cooking, and setting up the house just perfect. We had our table dressed with gold chargers, lined with red and gold Christmas balls, and all of our home cooked food was displayed beautifully. And and I proud to report that my first ham turned out DELICIOUSLY! I was so happy! It was moist and yummy! Having all of my brothers and their girlfriends here was so special. I had to stop myself from crying more than once! We had dinner, opened presents, played the dice game, and had the all important iChat with my parents. Sandymom was teary eyed, of course. She really missed us. Both my dad and Sandymom were excited to see us all together.
In the early evening, the kids took off to do girlfriend family things, and Dan, Robert, my youngest brother Joel and I hung out and relaxed the rest of the evening. I make some CDs, iTunes'd, and snacked on ham.
Christmas day we went to my mom and Ken's. Ken made smiley face pancakes; my favorite. We opened presents, watched movies, and then went to my grandma's. My grandma makes the BEST ham in 5 counties. I always look forward to it. This is the first year that my whole family has been together in over 20 years.
My uncle Glenn is home from Colorado. He went through a rough divorce, and it battling with alcoholism. He is currently in out patient treatment and is sober. We are all very proud of him. My cousin Joshua, who is 10, said grace at dinner this year. He is a very sensitive kid and has the most kind soul. After we all said our normal grace, Joshua said, "And thank you God for bringing Uncle Glenn home and please help guide him on life's new journey." There was not a dry eye at the table. He is such a great kid. My uncle appreciated it so much. It made Christmas really special to have us all together.
Sunday was spent on my butt. I had been running around for weeks so it was nice to take a day and sit in my pajamas. I watched 4 movies, looked at the paper, watched the hockey game, and went to bed early. Obviously I needed it because I slept like a rock!! Haha
Speaking of hockey, the game is on and it is tied at the end of the 2nd period, so I better pay attention! Back to work tomorrow.... :-(
