A Day Off...

On Thursday, January 14, 2010, Wendy and I got to sleep in!  As is often the case in the early stages of an IVF cycle, once the treatments begin, monitoring every single day is not necessary until things start "happening."  So, after waking up without any assistance, we enjoyed breakfast at the hotel.  (For our first cycle in December 2008, this hotel did not offer any breakfast, but the amenities had change in the year that followed, and a great, hot breakfast - with a lot of options - was available to guests every day!)

After breakfast, we had a lazy morning.  Later in the day, we went to Walmart to get a few things we needed, then went to the mall (Garden State Plaza) to window shop!  We really enjoyed this mall on each of our stays in NJ, since its entrance is right across the street from the Ramada Inn.  This day, we had lunch there at the Bourbon Street Grille, sharing some delicious New Orleans-style selections; I'll spare you the details...

The rest of the day was more laziness.  We had leftovers for dinner in our hotel room, I took another walk on the treadmill, and Wendy added Follistim and Menopur injections to the Lupron protocol already underway.  Things were moving forward, as always, one day at a time...
