Another snow storm: UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I'm beginning to feel like I'm back in the Minnesota Tundra!  It's freezing here paired with lots and lots of snow.  I mentioned in an earlier post that we received 21 inches last Tuesday.  Well, it has only gone down hill since: on Friday we received another 3 inches and are expecting the next big snow storm to move in tonight and tomorrow.  They are projecting another 8-12 inches!  This is out of control!  School has been canceled for 6 straight days and it's looking doubtful that we will return at all this week.  I'm definitely beginning to miss my students, but no worries...at this rate I'll be seeing them through July...YIKES!

Due to the snow storm moving in tonight, Dr. B went ahead and let me come in this morning (a day early) for my baseline ultrasound and blood work.  The ultrasound looked great...no cysts...so, now I wait until 2:00 to call my PRN line to hear about my blood work.  Speaking of blood work: my veins were not cooperating this morning.  She tried...dug for my vain...then gave up...told me to come back after my ultra sound.  When I came back she used what she called a "butterfly" (not sure why it's called that, didn't look anything like a butterfly) to get my blood and it worked like a charm.  She said from now on to remind her every time to use the "butterfly".  I told her not to worry, "I'll remember"!

Great News: The financial coordinator informed us that yesterday they received the clearance from our insurance company & they're going to cover a portion of our IVF cycle!  That's an answer to our prayers...so thankful!!!
