5 weeks down...1 to go!

Ok, so it's been awhile since we've updated this. Kelly's been in AL (Maxwell AFB) for 5 weeks already and we get to see him on Friday (June 26). I can't wait! It's been too long! Ian misses his daddy too!
We've been keeping busy with play dates, a new spray park, T-ball on Thursday evenings, riding his new bike, the pool in our back yard and movies. I try to keep him as busy as possible to keep him out of trouble and for the most part....it's working. We went to a birthday party for a friend of mine's son, Nate, who turned 1 last week. It was at the park and some of Ian's other little friends came so he had a great time. He did get stung by a bee for the first time though. He cried and said that "the BIG (he spread his arms out to the sides of him) bee stinged him" His arm swelled up some, but nothing serious. I gave him some benadryl when we got home and it was almost gone the next morning. I 'still' hear about the 'BIG bee that stinged me'! Funny kid!
Quick update on the IVF stuff. I've got all my tests done, all the blood work done and I'm sending the big check tomorrow to pay for it all. Kelly still has one more test and a blood draw when he gets back and then he's done. I'm supposed to call down to Wilford Hall (remember that's where the baby/babies will be concieved) on day one of my mentrual cycle and that's when they'll tell me when to start taking birth control and when I'll stop taking it. I'll hopefully find out then when they want me there or maybe they'll call me sooner. Apparently we're put in groups to make it easier on the doctors?? I don't know...I'm doing what Kelly has always wanted me to do..."Go with the flow"! It's hard, but really I have no control of anything now that all the prep work is done. I just sit and wait! I'll be sure to let you all know when I/we have to be down there. I say I because Kelly will more than likely be here with Ian most of the time I'm down there. He does have to come down to make his deposit (I know he'll love me saying that) and that's it according to Dr. King (yep, that was the infertility doctor that we met with). If anyone wants to come hang with me after they do the embrio transfer you are more than welcome. I'll need to relax and take it easy, but I don't want to be bored.
Well, that's all I know for now, but more to come....
Oh, we get to see Emily and her family on Saturday and Sunday in AL. They're driving up and staying the night. We'll finally get to meet baby Tyler now that he's 3 1/2 months old already. Kelly graduates the academy on Tuesday June 30th and then we'll be home the next day. Ian will be going to stay with his 'other' dad on July 4th for 2 weeks. I'll miss him, but he needs to see his 'other' family too. I'm going up to WI on July 9th for 5 or 6 days. I'll get to see my parents new 'cottage'. I'm really looking forward to the break too. Kelly's staying here because he can't take anymore time off of work right now.
I guess that's it now...for real.... ;-)
Oh, the guy who's sitting next to Ian is Nate's grandpa and Ian calls him Grandpa too.
