Well Ryan and I had a good Christmas this year. I had to work Christmas eve night which was not very fun. I was up by 11am getting ready for dinner by 4. Not much sleep! Ryan got me a beautiful Sapphire and diamond ring. I found it a couple months ago but it was expensive so I wanted to hold off on it, but Ryan surprised me! I wanted sapphires because that was my mom's birth stone and thought it was a great memorial to her! Here is a pic:
Right now it is getting sized so I don't get to wear it quite yet.

Anyway, I started my new job yesterday and I LOVE IT!!! It is very different than the hospital, but everyone is nice, the patients are nice. Its just awesome! I have 3 more nights (maybe) at the hospital and I'm done with that! I think I may be feeling sick on Friday and Saturday!! haha
Tomorrow, we are having a little New Years party here with my BFF, her husband, her brother, and his fiance. It should be fun watching everyone else drink. I don't get to but thats ok! I would rather err on the cautious side in case I have some "goats" (long story) in there!! haha
Well Happy New Year to all!

PRAISE GOD!

Well, one of my prayers has been answered!! I got an awesome new job! I am getting out of the hospital and will be working in an endoscopy center starting 12/29! The hours and the people are wonderful! I will be working Monday-Friday 6am-2:30pm. No weekends or holidays. This has been a prayer of mine for a long time.
I have been so stressed at work and all the changes that were happening. The stress was affecting Ryan and I a great deal; we were starting to fight alot, and I think it also affected my ability to get pregnant (though it hasn't happened yet, I think we are close). I can't take my medication at a specific time everyday because the time I went to bed varied so much. Though I have 3 weeks of my other job left, I think I can deal with that.
In a way, I am scared to leave the hospital. It is all I have ever known as a nurse and I will really really miss the people I work with. I am the awesome nurse I am today because of some of those people. Well that is all for now. Not much new with Ryan. He still loves his job and what he does everyday! He is an inspiration to me.....not to mention my rock too! Thanks baby! Love you!

Well I went back to the doctor's office today for my post-op appointment. I do in fact have endometriosis. Dr. M says it is Stage 2, but could almost be stage 3 since he removed a huge cyst from my ovary. Ryan and I got to see the pictures and they were kinda cool! There were 2 large spots of endo on my uterus and somewhere else (I forget already) and the endometrial cyst on the ovary. It looked like a plum, same color and all. Yucky! Glad he got it all off. Now my insides are nice and pink like they are supposed to be! YAY! Well except for the polycyctic ovaries (in which the cysts are on the inside of the ovaries).
So now with the next cycle, we are moving on to injectables with IUI. Though the meds are like $800 a month, we already have most of the meds since we bought them last year. So just pray that we only have to do one month to get our most precious and wanted gift!!! Dr. M seems to think this is the best road and we agree. He is a wonderful and the most personable doctor ever!!! (And I know lots of doctors!!)
Well that is about all going on for now! We are just getting ready for Christmas. Cards are mailed and all presents so far are wrapped so I just wanna bake some more cookies. We are unsure of what we are doing for Christmas Eve/Day since I have to work Christmas eve night, but even if we stay home, we will have each other!!! TTFN
