One of the Best Things

One of the best things about living in New Orleans is that the party doesn't stop when the New Years bell tolls, because right around the corner we have Mardi Gras! And while I was really sad to pack away all my Christmas Decorations, I was very excited to get a few of my Mardi Gras decorations out.


My Mardi Gras wreath
(which doesn't match at all with my red door!)


And my Mardi Gras flag! 

I have my pre-op appointment tomorrow for my Lap, and I must admit I am having a little bit of anxiety about the surgery. I have read countless blogs about having the procedure so I know that its no big deal, but for some reason I'm still a bit nervious. I'm hoping the appointment tommorow will help to ease me a bit.

I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Mardi Gras! Ahh.. maybe someday!

I don't blame you at all for being nervous about the upcoming surgery. If you remember, I was a mess. But everything turned out perfectly. I pray you'll have the same result!

Hello!

My name is Elisabeth, and I am an infertility / repeated pregnancy loss "veteran". You can read a little bit about me and my experiences in my blog: drhousewife.blogspot.com . I am completing a PhD in Counseling Psychology, and my dissertation is focused upon the impact of infertility on marriage. I believe strongly that there is a need for better support services for men and women who are undergoing IF diagnosis and treatment, and my hope is that this study will aid in the development of such services.

I am contacting you after stumbling across your blog. I am recruiting participants for my study, and wanted to invite you and your husband to take part. All that would be involved would be the completion of an online survey, that would take approximately 20 minutes. All couples who complete the surveys will receive a voucher good for a pair of free movie tickets at a Regal Cinemas.

Please let me know if you are interested by emailing me at UTInfertilityResearch@gmail.com .

Best,
Elisabeth

I am jealous. I wish I had a good cause for decorations and celebrating in the post-Xmas winter gloom!
