Ugh

That was the best one too. Our doctor was of course very apologetic. They're going to send it out for testing anyways, and if it comes back that it was a normal embryo and if we end up having to undergo another cycle, they're going to give us some sort of discount on it.

Our clinic is pretty reputable too, so it's frustrating that we're encountering all these problems. It seems like we just can't catch a break, ever. We've been through such an immense amount of shit this past year that we could really use some good news soon.

I pretty much took it easy over the weekend, just sitting around downstairs with Marc and napping a lot. Marc hung out with me, took care of me, and cleaned the house out of boredom. I'm still in a ton of pain from the shots, and I talked to my doctor about it, who said that if it was getting worse, there's an alternative I could possibly go on. The only problem is it's not as effective, I don't think, so for now I'm going to grit it out for as long as I can. It's just so agonizing.

Anyways, enough wallowing. We unabashedly watched the "Jon & Kate Plus 8" marathons on Sunday and Monday. I've totally been following all the tabloid stuff going on with them, so I was really curious to see what their new season (which premiered yesterday) was going to be like. It was pretty damn awkward, and I totally buy the rumor that he's sleeping in a room above the garage, because it seems like these two people have no relationship anymore.

It's so sad, and you have to feel bad for the kids. It was frustrating too, because most of the talking was done by Kate, and she kept complaining about how she had to plan the kids' birthday party "alone" because Jon went away for the weekend, and she was saddened by the fact that one of her kids called her by their nanny's name. Given the rumor that she was away from home 21 days out of the month promoting the show and doing her book tour, I just wanted to yell at the TV, "SO STAY AT HOME."

I mean, lots of spouses/parents travel, and I certainly wouldn't begrudge someone their career for the purpose of supporting their kids, but when you have 8 kids, you can't be surprised that the spouse that has to stay at home with them all the time gets a bit disgruntled. Kate can say all she wants about putting her kids through college, but I think she also likes this lifestyle she has now. She seems unable or unwilling to acknowledge her own culpability in the failure of her family right now.

Bleh. Can't believe I wrote so much about that.

My brothers came over Sunday night and we hung out and had dinner and watched Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist which was a pretty funny, cute movie. Then my parents came over and brought lunch with them, which was nice. So at least we weren't total hermits over the weekend.
