Tomorrow is our big day - Happy Insemination Eve to us!! :) One of my friends asked if I was nervous for tomorrow - which I think is a great question. I'm not feeling nervous though - we're just excited and hopeful that this time will be our time. I mean, seriously.... how AMAZE-BALLS (copyright Giuliana) would it be if this time it really worked. It was would be so great, beyond great - words could not describe how great that would be. But if for some reason (which I won't pretend to understand) this isn't our time - what I do know is that we will survive and be okay, as we have in previous treatment cycles. So either way - we will be okay, but I think you know which outcome we would prefer. ;)
After having 12 days of shots since July 12th, tonight was my first shot-free evening. Tomorrow morning we need to get my husband to the lab by 7:30am, so he can give his collection. Then we will head to Bob Evans for breakfast and come back around 9am for the insemination. We definitely know the drill at this point. Even though it's our first time doing this exact protocol with the Gonal-F shots and insemination - tomorrow will be much like our 3 other insemination attempts. Let's just hope this one has the happy ending!
Last week my 3 year old nephew went to Vacation Bible School with a couple of his friends. The theme for this year's VBS is trusting in God. At church on Sunday they had the kids sing a few songs. I have included a music video below to the theme song - which my nephew was singing for us before bedtime last night. Throughout this journey, it's been tough to be patient - but all we can do is trust in God that He has a plan. Check out the video below if you wish - if your kids went to VBS this year, you may already know it. :)
In closing, I'd like to wish Miss Lyla a very happy 2nd birthday and also welcome Augustus Hudson into the world! :) Also, please pray for my friend, her grandma, and her family.
