Where do we go...
Sweet Child, Where do we go now...
Thanks to all of you for your well wishes and prayers. You all are the best.
We have some embryos a-growin', so we'll see what happens. They will take over the world. This I know for sure. Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
Have you finished ANYTHING?
Yes.
The Sockapaloooza socks are done.
Click here for a detail shot. Oh, yeah.
And, here's the specs, if'n you want 'em.
Gratuitous Pet Shot:
Ouch.
Now that I have passed the egg retrieval stage, I am taking intramuscular shots of progesterone nightly. Thank God I work with nurses. Take a look at the size of this needle:
Ow. Quit it. Ow. Quit it.
Actually, and truly, they aren't that bad. Didn't really hurt much. Or maybe I'm just numb from all the other shots I gave myself over the last 10 days or so. Hmmm.
Sleeve therapy.
To distract myself from such medical therapies, I finished the Vintage Knits Ribbed Sweater Sleeve No. 1. Or, Bob, for short.
Bob needs to be sewn on to see how it's all going to go together. I have true fear that I am going to run out of yarn. I think I can maybe get the other sleeve done, but there's no way there's enough for the neckband. CRAP. The yarn gods are not smiling. Anybody out there have any Rowan Cotton Glace in color 787, Hyacinth??? We can talk dye lots, people. I can trade or pay. But you can't have our firstborn (if there is one). ;-)
Comments
Great socks, I wish I could get my dog to stay still that long!
Hope you find the cotton glace - IF not you will just have to use your illusion to fix it :-)

I hurt just looking at that needle. OW. Please take care of yourself! Rest up, and enjoy your fab knitting.

You are one brave lady with those shots. I think I would probably cry. I'm still sending super-fantastic baby vibes your way and thinking of you. Hope you are felling ok, and the knits look fabulous, dahhhhling!

Holeee cow. That needle. You are tough indeed.
I'm thinking of you...xoxo MJ

Great socks! That is a mighty needle, but I know you've got it covered. And it would be nice to work with nurses in such a case (especially when you can pick your own nurse!).

I hate needles! yikes! Bless your heart. All good thoughts sending your way.
Your socks look really good.

What a beautiful color! It looks great.
I'm sending you all the good wishes and vibes and hope in the world. I know this process is tough but I know it's going to be worth it in the end! Even the needles - I don't know about you but I'm a much better doctor than patient.

The sockapalOOOza socks are gorgeous!
And I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for your baby to be.

I love the socks...they're beautiful.

I'm a lurker but I wanted to wish you the best of luck with your treatments. You are the best kind of person to become a mom, the kind who really wants it. We need more like you in the mommy gang. You are in my thoughts.

Ouch!
I am so terrified of needles. Which is odd considering my tattoos... Huh. Well, anyway, I think you're one tough chickie! I don't think I could give myself an injection!

More good vibres are on their way to you! And that Good Morning towel look just too familiar. We have lots of those at home :D).

I got my fingers crossed for you guys...Good news seems to be going around, so I'm hopin'!!!!!
Posted by: Lara | May 2, 2006 12:11 AM
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Don't even want to think about the needles.
I love, love, love the socks and claim them as mine, even if I'm not your sock pal.
Posted by: Katherine | May 2, 2006 08:25 AM
Terrific socks. I wish you lots of luck with IVF. It's a very tough process and I hope that you have a wonderful outcome.
Posted by: sarahbchicago | May 2, 2006 02:35 PM
I used to give excellent shots. Ah, the good ol' days. Good luck to you.
Posted by: Ellen | May 3, 2006 07:36 AM
Good luck from Albuquerque, Jenny. I am familiar with those needles so I am really with you. I'll email the rest of the story.
Posted by: Lauren (lmbknit) | May 3, 2006 12:51 PM
You don't have to stick that whole long needle in yourself do you? I just don't know about all that... Love the socks. More good luck :)
Posted by: Vicki | May 3, 2006 03:31 PM
Been there, done that x6, but keep your eye on the prize! They're worth it!! (Loved those 2in. needles! I kept saying 'you want me to do WHAT? for HOW LONG??) Cheers.
