Today has been a very full day. Open the gym, coffee and quiet time, breakfast and emails, do our taxes (thank you, Turby-Tax; no thank you, Uncle Sam!), shower, dress, pack a lunch, drive downtown, call 911 to report an accident that flashed across my rearview mirror like a movie stunt, more emails, show prep, call the doctor's office, hear back from the doctor's office, sell books on Amazon, hear again from the doctor's office, more show research, make travel arrangements, plan for tomorrow's event, schedule my boss's TV appearance, drive northward, take books to the post office to ship, fill out all the shipping forms and realize they're for the wrong product, see darling baby twins and wonder... back to reality, rush home to have a meeting with security gate installers for our condo complex, have unplanned meeting afterwards with to board members, come home to my wonderful husband and the dinner he made, do the dishes, do the laundry, and.... sit down.
Amazingly, I did have some time in amongst all that to think about the fact that we're actually taking steps towards IVF. We have all our pre-IVF testing next week - some blood and "swimmer" tests for my dear hubby, and a blood test and trial transfer for me. Yep - that's exactly what it sounds like. Going through the motions of IVF just without any embies.
This could really happen. The thought both excites and scares me. All of these months hoping, praying, dreaming about becoming parents - the reality of it gets farther and farther away each time you have a month with no success. But this... this could really actually work. And it could work doubly well, the chances for twins are about 50%. Are we really ready for this? Well, ready or not, here we go. At least, hopefully here we go... next week.
But for now... be still.
