Okay, so I got a doctor appointment with the roving pediatrician tomorrow at 10:00AM. I was assured that this doctor has all the same medicine adjustment skills as the our regular pedi, who I am seriously thinking about switching once I can -- which is when the new one starts in March. Morella did better throughout today, but by bedtime it has built up enough to be hurty again. She's been up twice now crying and finally Tim decided to give her a little tylenol to sooth the throat so she could sleep. That reminds me to ask about mylanta supreme to help with these flareups).

Anyway. One year ago today - if you believe in life at conception -- Morella started her journey. It was a warmish February day and we had breakfast as Hubbard's in Middleton to kill time between the sample drop off and the IUI -- which took longer than the usual 5 minutes because I have a super tilted cervix -- to a good 15 - 20 minutes. The RE said I ovulated two eggs, one from each side, we had an excellent sperm count (after the washing) and everything else looked good. I saw the goods put in via ultrasound, waited for 15 minutes and then went home by 1:00 and laid around some more. The dreaded two week wait began, though I really got my first result at 11 days past ovulation thanks to a test from Hilary.

To think, one year ago today Morella was two cells...and now she is a billion or trillion or ...but really she is one wonderful little girl.

Happy Conception Day baby girl!
