On Hiatus!

Just a quick note to say that I am finally taking a real vacation, for the first time since 2008. (I keep having to point out to childless people that maternity leave isn't exactly vacation; they totally don't get it). We're leaving tomorrow for a week on the Italian coast. I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and I'm so excited.

I also feel like crap, which just irritates me. Why do I have to feel lousy as we leave for vacation? But I've been having indigestion and some light heart palpitations, and Clo.mid days 2-6 has resulted in hot flashes (didn't have them last time on CD5-9) and a period that goes on and on and on. I'm really kind of ready to be done with it, so it's a good thing tomorrow is CD6, and my last dose of Clo.mid. I'm really hoping that getting some sleep and relaxing (and no more coffee or tea, which I've been off since I realized my stomach was really acting up a few weeks ago) will make it all better.

Miss M turns 17 months tomorrow, too. I can hardly believe it. She's sitting by my feet (got off the couch--who knows why?) and watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse as I type this--a huge favorite of hers. She carried the remotes to me so that I would turn the tv on for her. Uh-oh! She is getting to be such a little girl, and constantly cracks me up with all of her new words and phrases. Tonight at dinner it was "all gone!" She seems to master something new every time I turn around. She is just a blast. I am so looking forward to spending this vacation with her and T.

See you in a week or so!
