Seems to be the name of the game these days! I don't have a lot of news to write about. It's a busy time at work, we've been passing around a cold at my house, and my sister moved into her own apartment. Christmas is coming and I'm starting to feel like I have a LOT to do!
Still no results from Tyler's doctor. I think I mentioned that the whole experience was pretty frustrating so I suppose I'm not surprise. I will give them a call on Monday. It's been two weeks, so we should have heard something by now.
We're still trying to get pregnant. I am on my final round of clomid. My doctor recommended trying injections if we don't get pregnant this month, but unfortunately, I found out they are not covered by my insurance. The medication alone will cost $500-800. It's not something we can afford right now. So it looks like we'll try another pill, femara. It's similar to Clomid, but it affects a different part of the brain. The success rate is about the same as Clomid, but I figure it's better than doing nothing.
Thanksgiving is next week, so it'll be a short 3 day week at work! I'm looking forward to time with family and time off work! There should be more 3 day work weeks!

Through the rough
Boy am I glad this week is over! Tyler had his endoscopy and reflux study Thursday. He did GREAT...until he woke up afterward. Then he was understandably scared and wanted nothing more to do with any of the equipment or staff. He had a tube in his nose that was attached to the probe he'd have to wear for 24 hours. He hated it, I hated it. But we got through it. He was such a brave little guy and I was so proud of him.
The experience sucked over all. The doctor was being an ass and the nurses hadn't explained the procedure clearly when it was scheduled. We were totally unprepared with all it entailed. Several times we were given contradictory information or told something that then ended up not correct. All in all, I'm glad it's over. We don't have results yet but I won't be taking Tyler back to that doctor.
It was also Halloween this week. Tyler had a lot of fun trick or treating. He went as Thomas the Tank Engine, which he is obsessed with! He has just about doubled his collection of toy trains over the last two weeks, some as gifts for being a big brave boy this week and two of them for going potty in his big boy potty! He has done that 3 times. I know it's probably all by accident, but it's a great start with potty training, since we haven't been trying very hard before now. He's had such issues with constipation, we haven't focused on it before now.
You were going to get pics of trick or treating, but since my husband restored my computer and hasn't put the driver for the SD card back on, it'll have to wait! I wrote this post days ago, so I'd better go ahead and publish it!
