so bud and i were watching dr. who, the episode was called "father's day", and while rose and her dad are driving down the road and talking, you can hear this song. it was pretty amazing. we giggled. so... i'm really getting into dr. who. we are starting on some of the later episodes, starring christopher eccleston. he's the one right before david tennant. anyway - the stories are so fun and while they are a bit on the 'cheesy' side, i'm really enjoying them. if you've never watched dr. who - i definitely recommend it.
so today is president's day and i didn't go to work. i asked for a paid vacation and believe it or not, my request was granted! it wouldn't have been had i not asked my dear friend becky to cover the first half of the day for me, but nonetheless, i got the day off. i slept in a bit (which i think was helpful, i still have a touch of this awful cold and a cough that won't go away. bex, you were right... it won't go away. its so annoying!), took a nice long shower and actually... *gasp* styled my hair! yeah, you heard me. i didn't just pin it back in a pony tail, i put product in it, did a brief blow dry, straightened my bangs and this is the result:

this is my new haircut and color. what do you think? :)
so after the shower, i walked the dog and headed out the door. i went to kinko's to print out paperwork for my doctor's appointment today. did i mention that i had a doctor's appointment? well - i did. and it was at a different obgyn. i don't know if i wrote about the experience i had with the last one on my blog but it was not a nice one. at the previous doctor, one i saw in november, the lady saw me for 5 minutes, told me that all my fertility issues were because i'm fat, told me to take some medication that she didn't really go over with and told me to come back in 3 months. it was awful. she was so dry, showed no compassion, and was just down right rude. so instead of going back, i worked it out for me to see another doctor. so this time they sent me to a doctor that is in the hospital. well... technically i saw a nurse practitioner, but still... she had a wealth of knowledge and you could tell she actually cared about my concerns. so praise the Lord that i got to see someone i believe will be instrumental in my infertility/fertility roller coaster that i foresee happening.
so i went to the doctors appointment and it looks like i'm going to be having a procedure done within the month called a hysterosalpingogram. its where they insert contrast dye into your uterus and check to see if your fallopian tubes are okay or if they are blocked. i think it also shows the shape of your uterus and if there is anything in there thats preventing pregnancy and regular menstrual cycles. (yea, sorry if you're a guy and you're reading this... i can imagine this is kind of a "WHOA... TOOO MUCH!" moment. just skip this paragraph.) so they are going to wait until my next period, once that happens, i'm to call the radiologist and schedule my procedure for somewhere in the day 6-10 day of my cycle. they do that and see if there is anything going on there. my doctor and i talked about referring me to an endocrinologist (most likely shady grove) and they are also going to most likely up my metformin intake to see if that helps regulate my period as well. there was talk of taking clomid and stuff too. so i guess my roller coaster is really starting. i am praying that it is not too lengthy of a ride, but i know that no matter what, if/when i have children, it will be right when God wants me to have them. so while i rest in that, its still a very sensitive subject and delicate time in my life.
okay - now that i'm done talking about that. (anyone reading this - if you have questions, feel free to ask. either in a comment or if you're friends with me on facebook, message me there...) after the appointment, went to the mall, got some chai from my lovely husband at his work. then i went, got some food, ate it, got some chocolate from my lovely husband and his coworkers. took that over to my parents house and sat with them for a little while. i love visiting my parents randomly. they get so happy and it seems to brighten their day. i know it makes me feel good. :) i love being near them. anyway - we talked for a while and then i came home. to a tired husband. we watched dr. who and ate dinner. now he is passed out on the couch and i'm finishing up this blog before i get to bed. i guess its time for me to do what bud is doing... sleeeeeeeep. well... talk to you all later. tomorrow is three things tuesday! starting to think of things now to talk about. i am also really going to write up some english and history homework tomorrow. i just have to. k... goodnight sweetheart, well its time to go....
