Kari,

I kept meaning to respond to this, and yes, do people think I will magically start ovulating now that I've filled out mountains of paperwork??? I really wish folks were more educated on infertility and etiquette.

AND

I'd still like to see a reality show called "Infertility House' where several couples live in a house together and support eachother. They could show what couples go through during treatment, the 2ww, adoption, etc.

AND

We thought the 2ww was bad???? After all our paperwork is completed for adoption it could be as long as a year before we are matched with a child, now you wanna talk waits?!?!

Keri, this wasn't ALL directed at you I kinda wondered off, I'm sure you won't mind.

My physical is tomorrow, the doctor's office failed to tell us we need to fast before our appts. for bloodwork, so poor DH hadn't fasted yesterday before his physical so he had to fast today and go back! He was not a happy camper. (you know what it's like trying to get men to go to the doctor's to begin with.... need I say more...)

I fast for tomorrow at least I know ahead of time!!!

Oh, and I just want to announce that I'm SO happy for my adopted little sister Tulika (aka Tulip23) and her wonderful news that she is having a baby boy!! wooo hoooooo!!!!!

Love and hugs all around,
Julie

Man, this was a longer post that I'd planned
