Fertility test results

So, here I am sitting at work, blogging! I know, I shouldn't be doing this, but I am. I guess I'm just being a rebel. My sister-in-law said she needs something to read.

I just got off the phone with the OB/GYN about some lab work that Tom and I had done. Tom has 62 million spermies! Holy crap honey. Oh I hope you don't get mad I'm blogging about this! So he has a good count,but the motility, the way the sperm move, is at 40%. I guess they like this around 50% so he is borderline low they say. We are still waiting on one other test, and this determines if the shape of the sperm are good. I guess they don't want crooked, is that how you spell that? We want straight spermies. I like saying that! LOL So now I have to wait to get my period to start my testing. It's weird, but I'm excited to get my period, this time, well, if I don't get I guess I would be excited as well, because I could be pregnant and that would just be awesome! But if I do get it, then on the 3rd day, I have to go get some blood work done to test my levels and then a couple days after that, I go in to get something injected into me to see if everything is open and operating ok I guess. Erica said this is painful, but a friend of mine said it wasn't that bad. The nurse just said to take some ibuprofin an hour before and that seems to help. So that should sometime next week or the week after. If everything looks ok, then they will insert Tom's sperm in me and hopefully make a baby. My friend, Jody, said this is something that she had done too and it worked the first time! But unfortunately, she had a miscarriage :(

So, enough about all that.. yesterday, I call McGraw-Hill to see how the process is coming along. Since I had a 2nd interview, I'm really curious and ready to get the heck out of here and on with my career. Well, I called and left a message and she called back this time. I left a message on Monday and she didn't call back, but yesterday she did and of course, I missed it. My phone was in my sweatshirt pocket and it was on vibrate, so I didn't hear/feel the phone. Anyway, she called and said that they are still in the process and are waiting for HR's approval. So I don' t know what that all means, but at least she didn't say I did not get the job. Sounds like I'm still in game. She said she would know the end of this week or next. So I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

I had an interview yesterday with SMG Solutions. They fix all the Ricoh copy/fax machines in the DBQ area. This job was sent to me through a contact I have at Hamiltion Tech, so I thought I would apply. The main office is in Davenport, but their is one guy who works in DBQ and he wants to work more on the sales side of it. This position is very intriguing and it definately would not be a "desk" job. But the interview went really well and he said he is going to recommend me for the next step. This interview was just a "get to know me" kind of interview. So we will see, I just don't know what I really want to do. I do but I don't if you know what I mean?? Tomorrow, Friday, I have an interview with Prudential. This one, is just an entry level position and I'm really not hyped up about this one at all, but I am going to go through with it and see what they have to offer. They say it's an hour and a half interview! I'm exhausted already just thinking about it.

Tonight Tom and I go to the Chiropractor again. She does so good. My back has been bothering me this week, I don't know why, but I think it's from sitting on my ass all day long! After Jazzercise today, it felt great, but as I sit here, I can feel it starting to tighten up. I need to walk around, but they strap us to our chairs and don't want us up roaming around. Just kidding, they don't really strap us, but it seems like that sometimes. We also play volleyball tonight at 8:15 and before that, we, the team, are going to Buffalo Wild Wings. I can't wait. I'm starving right now. I guess it's time for my morning snack. I don't get breakfast on mornings I teach, because I barely have time to shower, so I shower and rush out the door, wet head and all. So my snack is usually oatmeal with a tablespoon of peanut butter.

Well, I think this will keep you busy for about 3 minutes.. I will try and remember to blog tonight! I know how you feel about reading these, because I love to look at Steph's blog and read hers and look at the pics she posts.

Remember, keep your fingers crossed!
