Happy Friday all! Anyone exhausted? We have been on the go so much lately and it is catching up to me. We have a very busy weekend ahead with three birthday parties and a birthday dinner celebration. I am hoping for relaxing evenings in between.

Anyways, onto Friday favorites and Happenings.

ONE. I had my follow-up HSG yesterday. You can read about my journey here if you have no idea what I am talking about. Since it has been about a month and a half since my surgery, they wanted to do another HSG to see if the scar tissue was forming again.

I think this time hurt more than the first, and that might be because they were actually able to inject a bunch of dye. The first time, the catheter stopped 1/4 inch into my cervix and dye barely went in. This time I felt the catheter again, then the balloon being inflated and the dye being injected.

So far I was told that the left side is completely open and barely any scarring, but the right fallopian tube had blockages, but that she wanted to look at the scans more closely after the procedure was over. Then she would send the results to my doctor and we can go from there.

So I am taking that as a win so far. But if there is blockages I am wondering if I have it removed just to be sure and not experience pain later on (the pain got so bad last time) or do I let it ride and hope for the best? 

For now, we wait to hear from my doctor.

TWO. Last weekend we watched my nephew so my sister and brother-in-law could have a date night with some friends. We have had this planned for a few weeks to a month and we were so excited to see Caiden. It feels like he grew 4 inches and gained 5 pounds since we have seen him. 

He is just on the move all the time, so that meant walking him around our house over and over again. And all the cute baby squeals. It was so much fun hanging out with a babe for an evening, but we were all tired when they left. Even the girls were tired. 

And in just 16 days, he will be turning 1. I can't believe it!!!

THREE. As I mentioned last week, we got our Peloton on Friday. I have been wanting one for about two years and since Rory's company had a deal on the bike and membership, Rory finally gave in. I did my first ride on Saturday morning (which was really my 9th ride since I had an account from when I stayed in hotels that had Pelotons) and then another on Monday, Thursday and this morning. It is addicting for sure, but it makes me feel like I am so out of shape. 

It truly kicks my butt. I have done the Britney Spears ride, the Eminem ride and a few random others. So what are your favorite rides? Also, add me as a friend....my user name is daniellekira

FOUR. So I started looking at Summer dresses. Yes I am manifesting the warmer weather by shopping for warmer Summer clothes. We had two days this week that were 70 degrees and it felt like Spring time. The previous two weeks and today have been cold and wet. 

I ordered this dress since I love one that is similar that I got last year. I am hoping it fits, isn't see through and is comfy and easy to wear. And it is only $39, so that is a steal (considering I paid about $70 for my other one). It comes in a navy, red and white.
