Captured: Nightstand

Fellow Raleigh blogger, Adventuroo, recently started Capture the Everyday. Last week’s theme was something you couldn’t live without. I kept meaning to photo & post about my Diet Cokes, but I forgot.  Moving on. This week’s theme is your nightstand.

I took a few photos Thursday night of my nightstand {after I speed-dusted with the Tshirt I was wearing} as well as the one of Jason’s side of the bed. Mine includes three photos~ all are at least a couple of years old: one with college friends tailgating before a football game, the second at my sorority big sister’s Pawley’s Island wedding, & the one closest to my head at night is my first favorite photo of Jason & I which was also taking tailgating at a football game.
We have Target lamps on both nightstands. The alarm clock is now just used as a clock because I kept sleeping through the radio or CD playing. I use my cell phone’s alarm in the mornings and keep my phone charging here too.  A grey cat that my Ma gave me soon after we got Moe and a small flower spaced jewelry dish {which currently holds a rock I got at a church years ago} both also live on the nightstand.
The two books are both Christian daily prayer stories which sadly I don’t read often enough. Like others I will sometimes not be able to sleep because a to-do list that won’t leave in my head. This happened a lot while I was wedding planning. Now that notepad is frequently used to remind me of my BBT. Speaking of that, you’ll also see I have a thermometer, water bottle & my new thyroid medicine as well as my mouth guard {which keeps my TMJ under control} on my nightstand.

Jason side has two of his favorite photos from our wedding: he & I at the bar after the rehearsal dinner & he & his groomsmen. I gave him the Alway Kiss Me Goodnight sign a couple of years ago for Christmas since I love a goodnight kiss.  The little thing on its side is a tiny but super bright flash light which is great for checking to see what Moe’s doing in the middle of the night or looking into the closet which has a broken light.

RE Appointment Update

I mentioned in my hsg post that we had our follow up appointed with our RE on 3/1. I haven’t been trying to hold out on y’all if anyone’s been wondering. I’ve just had a crazy busy week {ex: small group Mon, appt Tues, haircut & highlights Wed, book club & selling a car Thurs, packing & going OOT Fri}. I’m exhausted just typing all that out. So forgive me that I just got the chance to type & schedule this post.

Our RE, I’ll call him DrP, went over our test results. As I had thought/prayed/hoped, everything came back within the normal range. My bloodwork showed my thyroid levels are on the higher side of normal, so he prescribed a very low dose of a medicine to get that lowered. DrP advised my levels weren’t so high that they’ve been affecting our TTC, but when pregnant your levels get higher and he wanted my pre-pregnacy base line as safely low as possible.

DrP advised us to try as we have been doing for the rest of this cycle {TMI TMI alert, pretty sure I O’d this week on top of everything else on the to-do list}. If.when I get my next period, I will go in for monitoring day 1 then if that’s clear start Femera on day 3-7, have another round of monitoring day 12 and then do the Ovadril shot when they tell me. He thinks Femera & Ovadril should do enough to actually give me a 2WW that I won’t need to also do progesterone supposatories.

It’d be AMAZING if this {cycle 14 if you’re keeping track} worked. But if not, I’m happily/hopefully exctied to begin the treatments that I truly believe will help us make a baby!
