Hi everyone!

Well, as promised I am back to share how my appointments went the last twos days! On Monday, I had my scope..which was not exactly the most fun thing in the whole world. 
                                               Matthew and I before the appointment..of course he was being silly

Matt and I showed up, and I was anxious because I knew it was going to be painful. We checked in and sat down, and a few minutes later the nurse walked out and called my name. We both got up and started walking towards the nurse, and she stopped Matt and said "we are just going to take Victoria back for this appointment." So, anybody who knows me knows that I am a very anxious person. I immediately felt like I was going to burst into tears. She walked me back and told me to change into my gown and hospital booties...which let me just tell you..I looked cute ;) 

                                                                         Me in my beautiful hospital gown..

After I changed, she took me back to the operating room and got me all set up. The doctor came back, did the procedure, and it was all over in about 20 minutes. It definitely was uncomfortable, but it was also bearable. Now, I want to explain what the procedure was, just because you guys probably have no idea what I'm talking about when I say "scope." They basically just shoot water and saline into your tubes to make sure you don't have any blockages. They also go in with a probe/camera to make sure you don't have scar tissue, cysts, or any other kind of abnormality that's going to effect the IVF.

The good news is that everything looked 100% healthy and normal! Yay! The water shot directly through my tubes, which means that I have no blockages, and he didn't see a single abnormality! So that took a load off my shoulders! The procedure left me feeling a bit crampy, so Matt took me to lunch, and all was well :)

Now we also had our follow up appointment this morning!! We signed our lives away..and signed a huge check away..and we are very excited to announce...

                                                         December is the BIG month! We're excited and optimistic! 

So that is our big exciting news for this post! I should be back on in the next couple of weeks just to say hi! As far as our IVF posts go, nothing exciting should be happening until the end of November!

Until next time!
