An online baby shower, you guys would do that for me?????!!!!! That would be absolutely exciting!!!!
We aren't going to register anywhere yet until we get a + pregnancy test, but for those who are interested, I will post it on here if that's ok with everyone. I don't want to just be like, "here's our registry..." because I don't expect anything from anyone <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. It has been so hard NOT to register though, I keep seeing baby clothes eveywhere I go, I'm like, "can't we just buy 1 outfit?"
I actually got my first baby gift yesterday from someone who has turned in to a GREAT friend through all of this IVF. We met online, this site I believe (can't keep track anymore) and her IVF story is on my website (under success, Zach and Tara Jordan <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.jordanshome.com">www.jordanshome.com</a>). Anyways, she had some left over stuff I needed and she wasn't going to use so she sent it to me and when I opened up the box I found these dainty, beautiful pink socks. She did her IVF last year this time and gave birth to a boy in October. A friend of her's had bought her the pink socks before they started the IVF for good luck. Since they had a boy and clearly never used them, she passed them onto me as "goodluck booties".
If we are successful I will just pass them onto someone else (even if we have a girl). But I was SO excited to see them, it was funny, I started crying, then laughing, then I called my mom, dad, Mark's parents, Mark... to tell them we had recieved our first gift. It was hillarious.
Went in today for blood work only this AM and then got called back in 5 hours later for a "traial transfer" (how much am I paying you??? you know it's a 1 hour drive to you EACH WAY right??? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> ). I started my first day in my new department today so I felt really bad asking them if I could leave, but they seemed ok with it so I pray that they are.
The retrieval is tomorrow AM and Mark also gets aspirated (so please keep him in mind too-any men out there <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">, and the ladies too).
I'll probably not be on tomorrow but will post on Saturday after the office calls me to tell me how many fertilized.
Thanks everyone for all the support, I LOVE this "family"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
