We are here.
All is relatively well but as usual, the best laid plans are requiring some adjustments.
No worries! We are experienced with adjustments.
More later.
Ready-Set-Go
Yesterday I left my house at 4:45 a.m. to travel over three hours to a work-related meeting.
Seven hours later I drove back to Missoula where I met Dear Husband and Claire at the vet at 5:30 pm for a blood draw.
Dear Husband dropped off the blood at the human hospital lab where the testing is done, and I went to campus where I had another meeting until 7:30 pm.
The progesterone was 6.9, which means she started ovulating yesterday.
First breeding date is tomorrow.
Family reunion with the humans starts on Friday.
And somehow I have to drive 978 miles between 5 pm today and tomorrow afternoon.
This breeding stuff — wow. So many moving parts.
Another reason it is not for the faint of heart.
Think good thoughts for us and have a fantastic day!
Another Episode of...
…As the Progesterone Rises.
On Sunday it was 2.7, sending me into a panic because it was rising too fast for my work week. “I have important things on Wednesday, Claire,” I explained, “We cannot leave sooner!”
Well, we could but it would not be a good plan.
Claire is such a Cooperator!
Yesterday (Monday) it was only 3.05.
WHEW.
We are watching for something over about 4.5 to tell us ovulation is underway — and then we have two days to get to the honeymoon.
My hunch is that we will hit that number today. However, we cannot test until 5:15 pm as I am heading out for an all-day meeting.
If the number is as expected, we will begin our journey tomorrow after work (Wednesday).
But one thing we do know now is the due date because of Sunday’s progesterone. Assuming she gets pregnant (everything crossed), the due date will be Tuesday, November 12 (+\- one day).
WHEW.
