This weekend, Mom, Dad, Adam and I went to see the Colquitt County Packers play in the Georgia High School State Quarter-Finals. While the Packers lost, we still had a great trip down and enjoyed the game. After the game ended, we headed up the road for a weekend in Helen, GA.
Helen is a little German-themed alpine village with nice little shops, a beautiful river, and relatively good food. We attended the Helen Christmas parade and festival, which was quaint...but still nice. We enjoyed a nice German dinner at the Troll Tavern and watched the Georgia Bulldogs play LSU... Let's just say that UGA did NOT play well the second half and the game got a bit long! All 4 of us finished the game. Mom and Dad headed back to our hotel for bed. Adam and I went back to our room and watched the Hangover...which always seems to be on TV when we are travelling (and yes, we always watch it)!
Now...for the update on life in general. We are two appointments away from completing our mock cycle. I have been on estrogen injections for a bit over a week now...in the hip (or as most people say, butt). We had a bit of excitement last week when Adam hit an artery and made a BIG mess in our kitchen! Needless to say, he freaked out and I just held some pressure until things calmed down. In the end, we survived and all was well! (Our nurse LOVED the photos of the "event!") As for the cycle itself, things are going very well. My body has responded very nicely to the drugs and the labs/ultrasounds are all looking great!
Now...for Public Service Announcement:
Estrogen injections and Alcohol do NOT mix!!!
I have now "tested" this theory twice...once with 2 glasses of sangria and this weekend with 2 German beers. I have concluded that the type of alcohol doesn't matter...it's all bad! I got terribly nauseated both times and had bad headaches. Needless to say, I think my drinking days (even small amounts) are coming to a screeching halt! I'm fine today, but last night was not my idea of fun. Lesson learned!

Oh, this post makes me miss Georgia! So excited your cycle is coming up soon!
