Spending a night with my Surro Twins & HIVF Appt

The opportunity presented itself and I jumped on it! Tim found out Thursday afternoon he was able to go into work later on Friday so he can take Makenzie and Mason to school.... I packed an overnight bag and left to spend the night with our friends, AJ and Daniel (and first Surro Twins & Family)! Felt like such a loooong trip into Houston. Ugh! Talked with Missy along the way, thank goodness, listening to all she had to do that evening. (Crazy life for a teacher the last few weeks of school.) Arrived at AJ and Daniel's with margaritas awaiting! Daniel grilled fajitas while I had fun catching with AJ, her niece Sherry and Daniel's sister Gidget. Of course before that I indulged in playtime with Maggie, August and Davis! Whew what a night! We all let lose and had fun. We don't get to do that often enough.

I said my goodbyes to Maggie, August, Davis, AJ and their Nanny, Mirna before heading to Houston IVF (HIVF) for Missy and my appt. I went in for my oh so enjoyable swabbing for cultures with nurse Barb while Missy was arriving. Then she got to go through it too! Oh joy. :-)
We sat with Barb and had Missy's teaching visit for all her medications before running to Subway for some lunch. We were starving by then! We had to pretty much eat and run since Missy had to get back to school for cheer leading auditions and I needed to get on the road back home. The next step from here is to start our meds! I start my birth control pill as well as Missy while she and Jaren are on their trip to Costa Rica.

First Overnight Trip To Houston

We headed to Houston when Tim got home from work on Friday to knock several items off our list. We met Missy and Jaren at Ellen's office first to sign the final contracts. So nice to be be officially done with the contract process! Remember what I said... we're now on to bigger and better things! We headed to Houston IVF after that to get lab work done on all four of us following with a teaching visit for the fertility medications Missy and I will take and inject. Yep, those lovely injections once again. We wrapped up at Houston IVF and headed over to Leslee's office for the counseling session for all four of us. That wasn't but an hour of our time and went smoothly and quickly. Leslee agreed we are all four really on the same page and have a wonderful journey ahead of us.

Tim and I followed Missy and Jaren to the hotel after leaving Leslee's office. Their guest room wasn't up to par as Missy claims so we got a room at a hotel not far from their house. Had about two hours until they came back to pick us up for dinner and a night out together. So Tim and I ran to DSW shoe store and walked out with four pairs for me and two pairs for Tim and only spent $120! Not bad at all. They picked us up and we headed to Flemmings for dinner. Ooo was it yum! The food, the drinks, conversation and the desert. Oh the desert was to die for good!

From there we went to The Lot and met Jaren's best friends, Alex and Adam. Not too long after Missy's best friend, Keeley, arrived. We chatted while listening to music from the early 90's and 80's and enjoyed a few drinks.

Finding out Keeley's birthday began at midnight we headed next door to Pearl Bar see many dancing away to some great music. We had a good group walk next door and toasted with a Yeager shot at midnight to celebrate Keeley's 29th birthday. Good time was had by all!

Tim and I found our way to the Glass residents around 10am this morning. We played with their dogs, Skye and Maddy, before heading out for breakfast. Mmmm it was good too! Hit the spot after a night out. Went back to their house afterwards and played with their dogs outside for a bit before hitting the road. We had a blast this weekend hanging out with our newest good friends. Neither Tim or I could ask for a better couple to become friends with and make such a wonderful journey together with. I'm not excited about the soon approaching fertility meds but I sure am ecstatic about the soon approaching IVF transfer!!!!
