after a weekend away for my uncle's burial, we're back in new york and it's cold. it was nice to see my parents and 2 of my sisters even though it was under sad circumstances. I am so happy to be home in my warm apartment and not at Sbux. I am throwing away my uniform and even my hat because no more sbux for me!

This week is a week of tests.

C has a midterm on Wednesday. She just started taking classes for a second Master's in Organizational Psychology and so is preparing and studying for a midterm for one of her classes. It is very cute!

And, tomorrow morning we will go to the doctor's to do a blood (pregnancy) test since it has been 2 weeks since our IUIs. I am not too optimistic, mostly because I have had cramps that feel like menstrual cramps for a week. We didn't do a home pregnancy test this month, because last time that proved misleading.

So I'll know tomorrow afternoon whether I'm pregnant, not pregnant or if I am "sort of a little" pregnant like last month.

C just found a website that lists all of these women's early pregnancy symptoms as cramping, PMS-y feelings, sensitive ovaries, etc. all of which I've been experiencing. So that makes me a little more optimistic. But we're really trying not to get our hopes up. We will start a new, 3rd cycle if necessary.

Of course, C is going to st. louis for a conference in 2 weeks, and I will hopefully go too, for a couple of days. We would LOVE to be able to announce to my in-laws that they are going to be grandparents (and to C's brother and sister that they are going to be an uncle and aunt!). So maybe that will happen. We'll know tomorrow. Unless, again, I have another chemical pregnancy.
