Restless

New Years Eve was perfect.  JT and I stayed home and watched 3 movies (Friends with Benefits, The Mechanic, Horrible Bosses) ate pizza, drank beer and wine and relaxed by the fire.  We typically get together with the same group of friends every year and within the first week of Dec I had talked to JT about saying home this year for NYE because of the timing of our IUI I couldn't decide how I would feel about going on on NYE.  We definitely made the right decision.  I can't say that my friend fully understood why we would stay home and not be with them, but she said she respected our decision. Regardless, we did what was right for us and for that I am thankful!

Yesterday we cleaned up the mess that was our house.  All of the Christmas decorations along with our tree have been taken down and put away.  It is amazing how big our house feels now without all that stuff!  Other than that we didn't do much! I stayed in my PJs all day-without showering- and felt pretty restless.  I tried reading, playing on the internet, watching TV or playing a game and I couldn't sustain any of those activities for longer than 30 minutes. I've also been tossing and turning at night while I should be sleeping.  I'm feeling so restless and I don't know what to do.  I've been considering going for a few runs this month until we start up a new medicated cycle.  I miss running so much. 

I am waiting for yoga to start up again- I take a class at work because it is free and we finished up a session before Christmas and new session should start up soon.  I had to stop acupuncture because it was getting pricy for us.  With no ins. coverage it's 300 bucks a month and that is a lot of money.

I am actually looking forward to going back to work tomorrow simply because I need the routine. I need to be busy again and pass time more quickly.

Ch-ch-changes

Lots has been going on over the past week or so.

I started taking a yoga class on Mondays after work.  It is right down the street and the best part is, it is free as my insurance will cover it! I really enjoyed my first class.  I've tried yoga before but I couldn't settle my mind and I just wanted to be active in a different way.  Since I'm a runner and need to change my activity to a different kind of workout and I found yoga to be extremely peaceful and a great way to start the week!

Yesterday I had my first acupuncture appointment.  It was interesting...  in a good way.  After our consult and discussing our infertility history and endometriosis he asked what day of the cycle I was on and moved on accordingly.  I had needles in my lower back, ankles and my left wrist.  I enjoyed the relax time that followed.  My guy recommended some different, more natural prenatal vitamins.

Tomorrow night I have my first counseling session.  I found the women off of the Resolve.org website and she is covered under my insurance so that makes it even better.  I am anxious to sit and talk with her. I hope we connect and I hope I can really relieve some weight off my shoulders by talking to her.

See what I mean? Changes!  All wonderful, good changes!

We meet with our RE this Weds to determine how we'd like to move forward... I'm hoping to have a great plan laid out so that we can move closer to having our baby!
