Since finding out that we were not pregnant as a result of our first IVF cycle, I decided to take a break from everything that reminded me of pregnancies in general, and unfortunately this included my blog.
I have since had a break, relaxed a lot and am now back on board.
So here is a summary of what has been happening over the last two months:
My future sister-in-laws Hen's Night!
Started with drinks & dinner at her place, followed by Pole Diva's, (pole dancing lessons), a 1 hour ride in a pink stretch hummer limo which ended at Crown Casino where the rest of the girls all went clubbing til the wee hours of the morning!
"D-I-Y Skin Care Products" Course
I enrolled myself in a 1 day course to learn how to make my own skin care products!
It was awesome!!
It is insane how easy it is to make quality products, with very few ingredients, (ours were all natural, pure & organic), that have NO toxic ingredient in them at all.
We made: a soothing eye gel, lip balm, body scrub and a light face cream.
I am also enrolled to take part in another version of this course for "D-I-Y Baby Skin Care Products" on June 26th. I cant wait as this is Step1. of my plan to gain knowledge in order to be able to run a business from home.
Cycle 2 of our IVF Journey
We are in the middle of our second IVF cycle and I'm not really paying it much attention other than to go through the motions of my injections and other daily medication!
I'm finding that I am less "obsessed" with falling pregnant compared to last time and I am hoping that this will be beneficial to our final outcome in three weeks time.
Tomorrow I am booked in for a blood test and an internal ultra sound to see how my follicles are growing this cycle. Last time we had quite a few with 10 eggs successfully collected.
Fingers crossed we will have a similar result this time around.
My brother & sister-in-laws wedding
We woke to a beautiful sunny day, yes it was a cold day in June, but it wasnt raining and that was the main thing that we were all concerned about!
The ceremony was held at the local church, (OLGC), where Anthony had gone to primary school and where Julie had been baptized as a Catholic in order to marry him.
We had photos taken with immediate family surrounding the church, then the brial party headed to Crown Casino, where the newly wed's checked into their room. We had photos up on the roof top in the garden of Cafe Breezes, (where my darling husband had proposed to me), a freaky coincedence!
