August Update

Monday, August 31, 2015

    I have been working hard to be less stressed and count my blessing this month. It has been difficult! I have truly struggled to face my demons. Seriously, this break was much more draining than what I imagined, primarily because of my inability to be patient! These 9 weeks have dragged by, yet also sprinted?
    Well, this morning Graham + I went in for a baseline ultrasound. I have had my fair share of negative appointments so I went in with many worries. Alas, I truly received fantastic news all day! My U/S was done by my favorite person in the entire building, a spunky, vivacious GYNO. This chick busted up in there swearing and giggling- she soothed me so much with her positive energy. My egg supply was great, my uterine lining was fantasic and she gave us the go-ahead for this month! I can't even voice how wonderful that moment was to me. This September! She also made the comment "This may work the first time." Which, in truth, horrified me a little just because I don't want to get my hopes too high. (Sigh, it sucks that I feel the need to be a pessimist.) Yet, I would love for that to be true. 
    Then Graham and I had to sign a waiver about forgoing genetic testing. I also don't plan to test while pregnant- it's not going to affect my decision to keep a baby. While there I asked about Graham's second set of numbers, which should have been given 6 weeks ago, and.... They were ALL normal! Everything! No problems at all! Another worry struck off my list.
    It was so incredibly peaceful. Graham and I were able to go in together and that alone helped me so much. I love that we have a relationship where we can feed off of one another's strength in times of need. I truly hope things continue to look up, I have been filled with confidence. So here we are- a few weeks away from getting the party started! Hurrah!
