It's True, It's Real, and Dangit...It's Happening SOON!

On Valentine's Day I had the "real" appointment with Dr. F. Brian was not able to attend this oh so special appointment, but I was, and that's all that stinking matters.

Of course I went through the typical routine, blood work, pee test, weight, height, yadda yadda. Then I got to go back into the little nurse's office where I had no idea that the next hour and a half of my life would be a heatwave of information thrown at me so fast, and with no one there to hold my hand.

We were given our final schedule, and let me tell you, the next month and a half of my life is so planned that I am scared to go to the bathroom without asking permission first.

We have gone over what I can and can't do (and thankfully for going to church I have eliminated a lot of my old habits), but still, no pain killers (ahhhhh I have the worst headache today), if I have an issue I must write it down and state whether or not it hurts kinda bad, really bad, or shoot me I am going to die bad....then if I do cave and take something, I must write it all down in my handy dandy notebook. And, my study number is 007/006, I was kind of upset that I wasn't double 007, that would have been great!

I now have birth control, prenatal vitamins, and two large bags full of needles, vials of drugs, alcohol pads, and anything else you can think of that is injected into your butt or stomach. Looking forward to that one.

We then go over my appointments and what is going on. If all works out correctly, we will be doing our egg retreival on Easter Sunday, and transfer on Wednesday of that week. And if you all remember correctly Brian and I got married on Easter Sunday. Coincidence...I think not! THIS IS MEANT TO BE!

I have about 8 appointments total in March, and by the second week of April we should know whether we are having a baby or babies. I only get one shot at this, so dangit, I am taking all that I can get!

I keep inviting people to our conception, I told Brian that I would like him to play soft music and have flowers and give me a massage while we are watching our little babies be placed into my womb. I mean come on...how many people get to watch their little ones 3 days of dividing into 3 trillion cells be placed into your little belly to be made into little humans??? Call me silly, but it is remarkable.

March 3rd is our next appointment, wish us luck, this is when Brian learns to inject me with Lupron.

Courtney this is all so exciting. I know a couple who did something similar and now she is about to have her baby! I will be praying for you! I know that everything will work out for you.
