Heck, I missed Cooper's 14 month update...I'm just going to wait until his 15 month because so much has changed. He is just the most precious thing in my life and every day there is seems to be something different! So we'll start with Cooper.
Cooper has been a walking machine. I think on my last "monthly" post I said he was still crawling, well that changed and he's now walking. He can stand up all by himself and go wherever he wants. He's always where he's not supposed to be, of course. And when we find him, he just looks up at us and grin. He sprouted 4 top teeth in the matter of days of apart, this made for some fun nights but they are through and all is good. They are just the cutest little teeth ever. He now loves to eat bigger things and chew such as string cheese. I'll just give him a whole piece without even cutting it up, he gobbles it right up. He loves string cheese, however I think he loves it because when we open the refrigerator door, he can reach the sliding drawer where we keep them, so every time we go into the fridge he wants one. He doesn't get one every time, holy cow, he'd really be bound up. LOL So enough about Cooper...
There are a few things going on in my life that I HAVE to start sharing because I need all the prayers I can get. Tom and I have starting the IVF process again...My first shot was on June 5th, we went for an ultrasound on June 4th in Davenport, then had to head to Iowa City to get one more prescription. This one they could have mailed it like the rest of them but then we would have had to make a second trip to Davenport and since we'll be there enough in the next couple of weeks we thought we'd take the day off and just get it done. So after our ultrasound, we headed to Iowa City, it's about an hour from Davenport whereas about 2 hours from Dubuque. We stop at an outlet mall and did a little shopping, I got a new Coach purse, and headed back to Iowa City to pick up my prescription. Well, we get there, you know nothing goes as planned, we were gone over 3 hours, plenty of time to get out prescription ready, well when we get there, they don't have any record of it! WHAT??? Keep in mind we are starving, we thought we'd go pick up the prescription then go grab something to eat. Well, the ladies in Davenport forgot to have the doctor sign off on it and fax it to Iowa City! We were not happy. I called Dport and they apologized and so on...we had to wait about 2 hours! After we finally got our drugs we hit a local bar/restaurant called Shorts burgers and shine OMG it was so good, one of the best burgers I've had. After there we stopped and went through the Iowa City bookstore and bought some Hawkeye gear. Then headed home, mom and dad had Cooper and they were making us supper.
So, with all that said, we have started the IVF process, I am now on day 7 of my shots. Yesterday I went for a blood draw, I can do that locally, and the doctor's office called and told me what my next doses were so starting yesterday I'm up to 4 shots. Two in my leg and two in my belly. I go back Wednesday for another blood draw to find out my next dose and when my next ultrasound will be, she thinks Friday! So probably sometime next week will be my egg retrieval day and so on...I'll update more as the time goes by, hopefully!
