Well I’m not feeling as good as I had hoped. I had a bit of cramping this morning though nothing much to complain about. When we got home I felt good. Then I had a nap. I woke up with a sore stomach… I feel very bloated. I had to pee really bad, that didn’t help – it was almost painful.

So for the rest of the day I’ve discovered that standing/walking isn’t too comfortable, but laying/sitting down is fine. I feel very tender inside. Very tender. I also have felt a little aching down lower, from what I can only imagine is where they went in? I just had to go to the bathroom (not to pee…) and oh BOY did that hurt. I don’t know what happened, but for a few seconds there was lots of pain down below and I was sucking in my breath. Then I was fine. Weird, weird.

Den’s been pretty good today. Very good, actually. When I woke up from my nap I found that our breezeway – a previous disaster zone – had been in large part cleared out. I was happy, since I’d been asking him to move the big cupboards for quite some time. Then he turned me and pointed and I saw… a clean litter box!! I was downright SHOCKED. Den has never, ever cleaned the litter box before, not once! He says he’ll do it when I’m pregnant, but not before… and here he goes and does it today! It was very sweet of him. :)

We’ve been sort of cleaning/packing today. Since I’m not up to much moving around I stationed myself on the bed and went through all the dirty laundry. We picked out the clothes we want to pack, then Den wrapped the bottom of our (still leaking) washer with dirty towels and did one load of laundry. It went fine, I suppose. The towels soaked up most of the leakage. And we have clean clothes now, which is really exciting for us at this stage.

After they were all dry I made up several outfits (you know… skirts, shirt that match, socks that sort-of match) and packed them all into my backpack. It’s going to be interesting, since we’re leaving tomorrow morning, we’re driving most of the way in and then taking public transit. And I don’t think check-in is until 4:00pm with our hotel. So we plan to be tourists and just walk around and see stuff for a while… which means any luggage has to be pretty light and fit in my backpack. Except my camera, I’m going to be carrying my big camera around the entire time.

Den’s actually going out tonight, to see his brother’s band play. I declined to go with him. ;) I think I’d be in pain if I stood for more than 15 minutes…. and I am certainly not up to dancing. I’m capable of fending for myself here with the dogs. I’m just really hoping I’ll be in better shape tomorrow, or it’s going to be a really rough vacation for me!

Anyways I had better take care of a few more business things tonight while I have time. I did manage to get this blog set up to post from my cell phone so I’ll post a short message when I get my fertilization results tomorrow.
