DW and I had a nice date night yesterday. We started off the evening at Whole Foods (always a delight), and then headed to my favourite Thai place. This restaurant is 100% authentic Thai. The women who own it are sisters, and actually purchase most of their spices from Thailand themselves because for some reason, a lot of Thai products aren’t approved for import into Canada. My favourite dishes are their made-from-scratch (and not from a powder) tom yum soup:
And their tilapia keang som, which is a non-coconut milk based curry. It has a base of tamarind paste:
DW tried a new dish, called Pad Ped Pla:
The dishes were served with jasmine rice, and were sooo delicious. We saved some for the next day’s lunch, but by 10pm the same night, we inhaled the leftovers.
After dinner, we hit the movie theatre to watch the new Johnny Depp movie, Mortdecai. We enjoy Depp’s silly humour, and kind of picked this movie without knowing much else about it. However, we were quite pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it was. Several times I found myself literally laughing out loud. We got home in time for my nighttime Gonal-f injection, and a couple of episodes of the Walking Dead, which we are catching up on on our PVR.
Today, I had monitoring this morning.
Here are today’s stats:
The ultrasound tech was funny today, saying, “uh oh, Dr. ______ isn’t going to like this- so many follicles!”. Ahh such is my life.
She was right. This afternoon one of the nurses called, and I’m supposed to lower my dose of Gonal-f again tonight, down to 200 units.
Monitoring again tomorrow!
Mama et Maman 
I’m glad you had a great night out! Good luck with your monitoring appointment tomorrow
Thank you 🙂
The food looks amazing!! I’m glad you had a great date night together.
Thank you
I LOVE Thai food – my favourite! I’m glad you had a good night. You totally sold me on that movie – wanna see if I can find it online/torrent (I know, I’m bad).
We should go for Thai food if you come to our place! And yes, the movie was cute and funny- kind of a similar humour to Pirates of the Caribbean.
That food looks amazing! Good luck tomorrow!
Thank you!
I love going to whole foods, we don’t have it here in bc. It’s like j crew, but with food… Mmmmm I also love thai! 😍 sounds like you had a great date night, – it’s so easy to fall into the grind, esp when you’re thinking about stimming. Am inspired to set up a surprise date night with DH.
Vancouver has a Whole Foods, but you’d need to take a ferry for that. Thai food is the best! Oh, I’m excited for you to plan a surprise date!
Vancouver!!!! I shake my fist at thee! I’m a typical islander, I hardly ever take the ferry over unless there’s an idea trip involved. Now I can add whole foods to the list 😉
Yeah, I kind of feel the same way living in the ‘burbs of Toronto now. Except that in our case, downtown Toronto has significantly more fun things to do.
Beautiful follicle flowers! And that Thai food made my mouth water. I hope you’re doing well up there in Canada and excited for things to progress!
Thank you! Me too. I hope you’re doing well too!
Yum-a-Rama. The dishes look divine and date sounded lovely. Hope the follicle growth levels out and you get just the right number of just the right size.
Thanks Spiritbaby! Me too. They’re growing in a pretty nice cluster.
Date nights are awesome!! Its always nice to just be with you love and enjoy tome together. Hope the monitoring appt goes well!
Thank you. You and Callie inspire me to take more time to romance my wife. Sometimes you lose sight of all that when you’re counting stim days and TWWs.
During our TWW’s we planned something every night so we had something to look forward to and werent going crazy with the waiting. One nighy we read a book outloud, next we watched a movie, next we took a walk, or went out fishing, went to dinner, visited our parents. Befofe you knew it the TWW was over!
That’s such a good idea!
Lots of follicles!!! Good call on lowering the dose a bit. I’m always amazed that they can keep track of which follicles they have already measured.
Me too! She described it like having twins- mothers always seem to know each kid’s face.
That’s hilarious!!!
Bliney that’s a lot of follicles! Good to hear about Mortdecai, i love Johnny Depp movies usually but that one looked a bit silly so I wasn’t sure about going to see it.
Yup. And I feel every single one when I walk! Lol. The movie was great. You should see it.
