The Halfway Point!

Well, this has been the longest/shortest three months of my life.  We are officially past the halfway point!  I just had my third shot last week.  This last week I have been thinking a lot about the last three months.  I have a new respect for all of the women going through menopause!  I knew that one of the side effects of taking the Lupron shots could be hot flashes and night sweats.  Well let me be the first to tell you these are NOT fun!  Although there are quite a few friends and residents at work that get a kick out of watching me when I get a hot flash.  :D  I just remind myself that it is ALL worth it in the end when Jon and I are holding that precious bundle of joy in our arms. 

I have been researching more about the side effects of these shots because I have noticed changes in my habits and body.  I have been having headaches just about every day.  I have had nightsweats, so I am definatly happy that the snow is here!  I have noticed a little more forgetfulness, but thankfully nothing too serious.  The biggest change I have noticed is that I want to sleep ALL OF THE TIME!  As soon as I get up the first thing I think about is the next time I can go back to sleep.  Otherwise, I haven't had too many problems thankfully! 

I have a doctor's appointment in two weeks to check up and see how everything is going, so hopefully it is good news because I have plans with a friend of mine to have bundles of joy together ;)
