I need a nap

Today was the baby shower for Miriam. It was lovely. I am a little ashamed to admit this but I did enjoy the attention.

I was encouraged to just get a meat tray and a veggie tray and call it good but I don't really work like that. I have to attempt to be Martha Stewart. I made some tastey food. It included goat cheese fondue, tea sandwiches, an apple tart, hummus, smoothies, raspberry cakelets, and broccoli quiches. It was fabulous. It put me under quite a lot of stress. It was worth it. We had a great turnout and the people loved the food. I made the invitations also which were also a little over the top. If I try and throw a baby shower anytime within the next year I ask that someone please try and talk me out of it. We had way too many late nights this trying to prepare. I really need to give credit to Paul here; he is a great, great man. He stayed calm throughout the process of trying to get ready which included putting the finishing touches on the bathroom remodel the night before. He helped prepare food, and cleaned the house and was altogether fabulous. Towards the end of the shower I remembered that I am supposed to be doing daily OPK's to detect my LH surge. It's the weekend so I really should have done that earlier in the morning. I did my OPK and it came back positive. This was not a huge surprise since I detect a surge every month. My main issue is that I have endo. I called the RE's office pronto and our insemination is scheduled for 8am. Hooray. Our first insemination is almost done. I am nervous and I don't really know what to expect. I suspect that all will be fine. I am going to think positively. My biggest fear is that they won't be able to see any follicles tomorrow because my ovarian cysts are so large. Only time will tell.
