Everything's open for business

I got a text message this morning from DH that asked "So everything's open for business?" I laughed out loud!

Yes, that is correct, everything is very OPEN for business!! Now all we need are products for the shelves (eggs)! :)

HSG was a success. My tubes are open and everything looked great! I'm so relieved. I was a little afraid of the pain associated with the procedure, but I was a champ!

It took about 3-4 minutes. My doctor explained every step and, really, I didn't feel much at all! It was like a really really long pap smear!

I'll be able to start the study in about 3 weeks! I'm excited!
