"Blood Out?"

We're starting to get into the groove of things over here. 7am trips to the clinic for bloodwork and ultrasounds. Lu is a little trooper when it comes to getting up at 5:30. I'll rub her back and tell her it's the morning and that we have to go to the doctor. She usually replies with "Blood out?" and hops to her feet instantly. I know she doesn't understand why we're going exactly but she sure seems motivated by something. I'm in the 2ww right now and hoping with everything in me that this is it for us. I'm soooooo ready to be pregnant and end the cycles of Clomid. This month I tried Ovidrel for the first time which is a subcutaneous injection to the stomach. A lot easier than I thought it would be...but I'd be totally cool with not having to do that again!

Canada Day Fireworks 2011

Lu is doing really well these days, talking up a storm and extremely conscientious. She says her "please" and "thank you's" without fail and even throws in the occasional "Nice to meet you" to strangers in passing. I don't know what I did to have such a lovely miss. 

It has been a very busy month, we took Lu to her first fireworks on Canada Day and she was amazed! We also went to Pride which is a huge attraction in Toronto. She watched the Dyke Parade and waved at all the ladies riding motorcycles and marching. She even got a frisbee and whistle for her efforts. I hope Lu grows up to love all kinds of people despite their sexual or racial differences. It upsets me that there are still people out there teaching hate to their kids. It boggles my mind.
