I am a happy girl today! My dear friend "K" found out that her second IVF worked! She's pregnant! And I could not be more thrilled for her :) I honestly felt like I was re-living my BFP all over again. Just sheer joy and relief! I burst out crying when she sent me the news and then I left her a sobbing voicemail! Ahhhh, hormones! And we get to be pregnant together for at least a few months! So exciting. Today was a good day.
On another note, I can't hear out of my right ear. I think I ruptured my ear drum last week when I had all that pain and now it just feels strange. My mom said it would heal but I hope it heals quickly! My cough is still around but not as bad. I finished the antibiotics on Saturday. I think the pregnancy is slowing down the healing process. Normally, within a few days of antibiotics, I'm feeling so much better again! And this time it's just draggingggggggggg.......
Now if you'll excuse me I have to go watch "The Bachelor." :) Every year I swear to myself that I'm not going to get back on the Bachelor Train....and then I get sucked in again! It's addicting!

We are getting ready to watch The Bachelor" too! Do you need to have your ear checked out? That sounds painful. Oh the joys of pregnancy!
I just have to say that I hope I can get into this season. For some reason I just don't feel anything for Ben. I was so happy Ashley didn't pick him. He seems like a great guy but I don't find him "sexy".
I am so watching the bachelor right now!!
I am a sucker for the Bachelor and Bachelorette too. I can't help it. They are my guilty pleasures.
Congratulations to your friend! And how fun to be pregnant at the same time!!
Your sobbing voice mail was my fave... I will save it on my phone forever!!!! I'm so excited to be pregnant with you for a few months and I can't wait for our play dates at the end of this year!!!!
Hope your ear gets back to normal soon too... yuck.
See you tomorrow chicky!!!
Yay for K!! Oh, and about the ear thing - I had pain and then loss of hearing a few months ago - it was an ear infection and then a clogged ear (with ear wax), which supposedly happens a lot when you use q tips. I am still addicted to my q tips, lol, but they had to suck out a bunch of packed wax off my ear drum - yuck!
Congrats to your friend! I'm a lurker coming from my friends blog and I just wanted to ask about your comment about not hearing from your right ear. Does it just sound more funny or can you literally not hear from your right ear? I lost my hearing in my left ear when I was pregnant so I just wanted to make sure, for you, it is just from being sick recently. I don't want to alarm you but it would be worth checking out if it seems more than just from an ear infection. Congrats to you too - I enjoy reading about your journey.
I'm watching the Bachelor too. I always say I'm not going to, but then the previews are on and I feel like I'm missing out if I don't tune it. It's a vicious cycle :)
I'm excited about the drama that's already stirring between some of the girls!
Haven't watched Bachelor in about a year myself. Hubby kept wanting to talk through the show because he wasn't interested in it. Typical. LOL
Give a hearty congrats to your friend from me!
