BW - blood work, coffee, and bed rest

Went in for BW to check my estrogen and progesterone levels this morning with DH (darling husband).  Left home at 7am and arrived by 8am.  Left the office by 8:15 am and stopped by Christine's to get breakfast before DH went to work.  I've really enjoyed eating at different breakfast joints because it's my favorite meal of the day and I allow myself 1 cup of coffee.  I've read mixed reviews on coffee drinking while TTC and my RE (reproductive endocrinologist) says 1 c. is OK, but I decided to stop.  I stopped drinking coffee at home and purposely don't buy hazelnut flavored coffee creamer to keep me away from my vice.    But, it's so tempting though when I have access to creamer, like at home group.  I give in and let myself drink a little bit.

Bed rest is over!  I stayed in bed Sun-Tues and walked down the stairs this morning to go to BW.  The first thing I wanted to check on was my gerber daisy plant.  J hasn't watered it, but it was fine.  For the longest time, the little one took the longest time to sprout and to my delight, it greeted me with a big bloom.  I teared up...it's my hormones.

To commemorate my last day of bed rest, I'm posting some pics of food.  I LOVE FOOD!
                                           DH made me breakfasts!
                                           Cookies from Soo and YM...yum!
                                           Casserole from the Solt's and
                                            sides from YM...yum!
                                      Choc Caramel centered cupcakes
                                      from Sarah...delish!

                                          Soft pretzel bites w/cheese
                                          from Joyce...hit the spot!

Missing from the shot list is Korean food because I scarfed it down and didn't stop to take pics.
