Well, I started on the Estrace last week. This means we are getting close! The Lupron I've been handling great, but I do "feel" the Estrace. Leave it to Estrogen to make you feel emotional, crampy, ect...right? But I hear from Brittney the Progestron is worse. They called it the "mean medicine". And if it makes my sister-in-law "mean", it will make anyone mean! Poor Andy.
I should start getting updates on how our donor is doing. I'll have appointments as well. We should know in the next week or two how many eggs she has to share. If she has under 8 eggs, we won't get any. Even though she would ideally like 6 eggs, if she has 8, she has promised to split them, 4 and 4. Once our 4 have been fertilized, we will get daily calls to tell us how many of our embryos survived the night. Waiting, waiting...I've been filling my days with cleaning, cooking, and a little babysitting. Oh, and selling all my worldly possessions on Craigslist! And some of Andy's...
Andy's job is going well. He travels about 3 1/2 days a week. As I said before, I've been babysitting. I get to watch my niece and nephew on Thursdays. They are almost 2 and almost 3 years old and precious! Sometimes it's hard to fill my other days and evenings. I get over to see Addison and Avery almost every week. Can't seem to stay away. I can't stop thinking about heading to Colorado, but that's nothing new! We have lots of stuff coming up though. Time will start flying by! I'm going to be 40 in a couple weeks. Sometimes that worries me for only one reason....I'll be almost 60 when my first child graduates from highschool! My mom is in her 60's (sorry for sharing, mom!) and she has a 12 year old GRANDson. Of course, mom makes 60 something look like the new 40 which makes 40 the new 20...Nadia, you aren't even born yet! My age can't be helped, though, so we trudge forward....well maybe not trudge, but there's no rushing involved and there will be some celebrating! I'm getting some patches of gray, but I refuse to color. Fake red is NOT good.
Please continue with prayers for our decisions, health, and success. We are excited to get through the next couple weeks, except for the turning 40 thing! But, as a friend once said, it's better than the alternative!
