SHOCKED!

So, I was actually about to close my eyes and take a much needed nap when I got an "unknown" call on my cell-like 10 mins ago.  My first thought was to let it go to voicemail but for whatever reason I answered it.  Guess what?  It was SAAMC infertility clinic!  I'm still shocked!!!   They scheduled me for my consult appt for Nov 26th!  I have to bring all of my infertility records, including Skittle's birth (I think I'll need a backpack just to carry all the papers!!!), and I have to somehow figure out how to get my HSG scan from 2008 in Idaho.  So much for it taking 2-3 months after my infertility class to contact me!  Try 2-3 WEEKS! 

It's going to be a bit of a scramble to get all my records together (Idaho, Kansas, Arizona, and Texas) but I have most of them.  It's unfortunate that I'll have to repeat several tests including that HSG but if I can get bumped to the April IVF group I'll do whatever it takes!   

Dh and I have been praying about our many decisions.  Did God just open up a way for us to do IVF?  Please be praying for us!  We had a good long talk about what we should do and SAAMC was pretty much ruled out unless we can do IVF before we move next summer.  Flying back to AZ is probably going to be our next choice as we just can't find any reasonable prices here in Texas.

Just another little side post to say that Skittle had her opthamology appt today and she did GREAT.  The doc was super impressed with her and actually said that if he had a kid like her, he'd have ten more!  I just said, "Thank you! We're working on that." 

The clinic was awesome despite many short coming (like they didn't even call to tell me that she had an appt...minor detail, and it taking over an hour just to see the doctor).  They were well equipped to see the small ones as they had toys and activities IN the patient rooms (not even her Pedi has toys!).  She doesn't appear to have any eye muscle issues so she doesn't require a patch or glasses to correct her "wondering eye".  He said it was the bridge of her nose causing it.  What's funny is that my sister has the same wide bridged nose!  She'll be rechecked in six months but as of now, she looks perfect! 

I hope you don't mind that I'm posting a couple (well, three) of her Halloween pictures. (Her poor eye looks pretty bad in the first one but normal in the others!)  If you click on the pictures they look even better bigger.
