Flax and Patch

That's the official term coined by my lovely IM (Intended Mother).  This weekend I was pumped full of estrogen via patch(doc's remedy) and flaxseed via yogurt (my own remedy) in an attempt to get my lining up to the desired thickness for the transfer.  BOY, were we successful!  My lining went from a 4 (terrible) to 14 (awesome) in about 60 hours.  They were apparently "jumping up and down" at the doctor's office when they saw the results.  I feel so relieved!  I was a bit worried it wasn't going to thicken up properly.  I would just hate for anything to throw this cycle off.  We are so close to transfer!!

I also think I'm going to lay off the workouts for a little while.  I know they say exercise is always good, but I feel like I got pregnant with S and Em when I was at my most sedentary.  Maybe my body wants to choose between working hard with exercise or working hard supporting a baby. I definitely want it to pick the latter right now, so I think I'm going to limit myself to relaxed swimming and walking.  I'll save box jumps and burpees for post-baby shredding time, which will be no joke.  

Off to bed.  Working hard to get some past minute painting done in the house before I'm banned from VOC exposure. Painting all day plus crazy estrogen levels equals one tuckered out little lady.
