Happy New Years Everyone!  I wish all of you and your families a Happy & Healthy 2008…May all your dreams come true!

Last night was spent with our friends and their two little guys; enjoying delicious food, drinking good wine and having wonderful conversation.  To my surprise I actually stayed awake until 1am (Have I mentioned I’m the neurotic, have to be in bed by 10pm type person?).  Then crashed immediately upon hitting the sheets, shortly after arriving home.  I still can’t believe yet another year has passed us by. Normally by this time of year I have had about 2 visits to the doctor due to sore throat, sinus infection and all that good stuff.  I have prided myself over the past 4 months that this hasn’t been the case this season…until now that is.  I should’ve known better than to be so proud because this morning I woke up (at 10:30!!  I haven’t slept that late since I was probably 21!) with what feels like golf balls in my throat.  My head is killing me and my sinuses feel like they are forcing my eyes closed.  Yep…I’m getting sick.  I’ve gargled with warm salt water a few dozen times already and will most likely be making a call to my GP tomorrow morning to see if this warrants antibiotics.  I don’t like to be so hasty in jumping on the antibiotic bandwagon, especially given my current status of “trying to conceive”, but my past experiences have led me to have a month long illness if I don’t go that route.  Maybe this is just a slight cold?  We will see how I fell tomorrow.  C’est La Vie.     Last year has definitely been the all time record for doctors visits, and I have a feeling 2008 isn’t going to see less, but instead many, many more.  Hopefully because I will finally get pregnant versus a million fertility specialist visits!One week from today is my consultation with the specialist and I am SUPER excited!  You know it’s kind of funny…With all the Gyn appt.’s I’ve had over the past year, I always get so excited to go, because I’m always hoping for good news and it’s also kind of like being one step closer to our goal.  Who would have known that going to the gynecologist would be such an exciting event!  Hahaha!
