Today we went for a snowshoe with our pup. Her little booties didn't last on her feet for long, but she absolutely LOVED the snow! I had a great time too, even though we didn't go for long. The past few days have been really nice. I actually have felt like getting out and doing things again. Yesterday we had Christmas dinner with our friends who were visiting. It was wonderful! I think the turkey was the best I had ever made (I brined it in apple cider overnight). We ate, and ate, and drank, and ate some more. We did a little gift exchange (see below) and then watched a movie and snacked some more. It was a perfect "Christmas" day. It was really nice to have a friend around who I didn't have to "be" a certain way. She knows me. She knows what we are going through, and she handles it perfectly! She ask how we're doing and all, but doesn't press for information or try to offer silly suggestions. It was so nice not to have to worry about filtering what I say. I feel now like we have had a good Christmas just because of this visit.
In other news, I called the fertility clinic today to see when they are open around New Years, because now it just so happens that that will be likely when I am ovulating. I had not picked up clomid for this month yet but was worried when I saw that I was going to ovulate on a weekend again. Well, it turns out that they are closed from now until January 3rd! No warning or nothing for me. So, I guess we won't be doing IUI this month around. Yes, I'm disappointed, but in a way this is a nice break from the pressure of everything. I'm glad to take a break from clomid for this month. I'm glad to enjoy our wedding anniversary (Dec. 30th) without the pressure of trying to schedule in a procedure right around the time. I really hope to be able to relax and enjoy this Christmas holidays. Looks like I'm off to a good start!
