What a week!! On Monday I was informed that I would be
flying to New York on Sunday!!! On Wednesday I began 3 more medications and got
to stop that devil Lupron. I was nervous to start my progesterone shots…the
medication is in oil and the needle is pretty big. I did the scardy cat dance
for a while and finally jabbed myself. Today was the 4th day of
doing these shots and I already look like a purple pin cushion. I have been rubbing
the injection site and using heat but am getting some serious lumps and bruises.
I have been giving them to myself. My dear husband said he wouldn't mind but I
was afraid I would blame him for the pain…lol. He did watch me do one the other
day and I don’t think I have seen that color of white that appeared on his
face. I knew he was watching me so I pulled the long needle out as slow as I
could….I thought he was going to pass out. Hey, don’t judge me I have to get
some entertainment out of this!
On Wednesday I spoke to the intended parents. They are so
excited I could hear them smiling on the phone. It warmed my heart and definitely
made me even more excited. My husband and I worked hard all week getting the
house ready for graduation. We did things like painting and moving heavy things
around (that I don’t want to have to do preggo) the house and to the garbage. With
the house in great shape there will be no extra stress on me after the
transfer!
So here I sit trying to breathe. We are flying out tomorrow
and I am hoping that I will be able to sleep. It is so surreal… I never thought
this day would come. I can’t wait to see the intended parents tomorrow. Our
plane gets in early so that is exciting!!
I am anxious to arrive at the clinic and see how many embryos they have
decided to transfer. I am so grateful that my husband is able to come with me.
I am very anxious and nervous and he keeps me calm. I can get through anything
with him by my side. I will be a lot more relaxed knowing that my children are
in great hands.
I wrote my dad an e-mail yesterday and told him I was going
to get knocked up this weekend. Ha-ha any other time that might have been a
little awkward! It is wonderful to have so many supportive people around us.
This really is a family affair. I could never call it MY
journey alone. Our bed was getting a little uncomfortable and my back was
starting to hurt. So what does my husband do…. He goes out and buys a new bed
and just happens to include a beautiful bedroom set to go with it!!! When I
asked him why he felt it was necessary to do this his reply was “I want you to
be comfortable when you are pregnant” I think it is so sweet how he is already
thinking ahead like that!! The kids are affected by this process also. I don’t
think my youngest really knows what is going on. She just wants to make sure we aren't going to keep the baby… ha-ha! Komara on the other hand is more involved.
Every day she asks me if I have taken my medication or shots. She is very
excited about the process and has talked about it to her friends at school. Unfortunately
not all has been positive for her. The other day at lunch I was eating with her
and one of her friends had this to say, “My mom told me what you are doing is illegal”
I just looked at the little girl. Now you have to understand that I am going to
school to be a teacher and have been student teaching at this school and would
love to have a job there or else I think these hormones would have allowed me
to say something VERY inappropriate for example “Well your mother is an idiot!”
but I didn't!
Guess I better try to get some sleep! Feel free to blow baby
dust my way!!!!!! Talk you when my uterus is no longer vacant.
