Mommy's Post: Let the testing begin...

Hey everyone! Well, just a quick update. Our fertility testing has begun and this morning I went in for a enough bloodwork to drain my left arm. Alrighty... that was probably a little over-dramatic, but they did take six rather large tubes of my blood. My hysterosalpingogram (HSG) has been scheduled for next Thursday. It has to be next week so that it occurs at a particular time in my cycle. Unfortunately radiology is completely booked up all week for HSG tests in both Sacramento AND Roseville. So I will be driving to Stockton (an hour away) to get my test. What a pain in the butt. Thankfully, my sister-in-law (Christie) and her family are in town next week and can watch Molly. That's the hardest part of this whole busines... sometimes I won't have a ton of notice for certain tests and procedures and it's not like Steve and I have family nearby that can watch Molly. So... some of you friends out there may recieve a urgent plea for baby sitting services. Thankfully, Steve's work give him a little flexibility and in dire situations he has promised that he can take time off work to wrangle Molly. Now that we're rolling down this track, it's ironic that child care is the only thing that is really making me anxious. Go figure? The "planner" in me just likes to have things scheduled and all laid out, and unfortunately this process can't work like that. Anyway, keep us in your prayers!

We would love to have Molly at school any day of the week so feel free to call me (you know those kind of days are no charge right?) Thanks for letting us know how to pray for you.
