So Monday is the next big step. I'm getting kind of nervous actually. I A very weird situation in which I don't have a precedent for how I'm supposed to feel, act, or react. So, I'm just trying to go with the flow and take it one day at a time. It's all just so odd, will it ever feel normal? I doubt it but that's okay. The process is a gift in its self, not to mention the miracle Kelly and Ben are offering us even if it doesn't work.
The other part of me is getting ansty in the pantsy. I'm excited. I know each step so well now that I feel like I can offer Kelly the appropriate support with the coordinating procedure. Monday isn't really a difficult thing. It's a practice run basically. They figure out all the tools (the size of the catheter use to transfer the egg etc) to use so they can, ah, jump right in there (?) on the day of the embryo transfer. They also perform what's called a Sonohystogram. It sounds much more scary than it is. It is just an ultrasound with a full bladder to get a really good picture of the cervix. It's just uncomfortable because you really, really have to pee.
I feel like I should be bringing Kelly something to entertain her during the procedure. I could read her a book, or maybe bring her a muffin basket? I wonder if she likes lemon poppy seed or prefers blueberry. Sorry, I digress, so things start to really get moving after Monday's appointment. Maybe a hot beverage? No, she'll already have to pee. I can't really give her a gift 'cause that's illegal. Who makes gift giving illegal? I get people sometime over do it, sorry Kelly, I can't afford to buy you a car but thanks for the baby!
Little Wonders
For Katy and Matt. May you realize that each step of this is a little wonder, a small miracle. We love you! ~Kelly & Ben

ooohh, maybe an interpretive dance!
How about a margarita before I get artificially knocked up right at the beginning of 'rita season??? If you purchase the ingredients is that traceable?
There's no way a sono-look-at-the-cervix-gram can be any more uncomfortable than being 20 weeks pregnant with a full bladder for your ultrasound and the hospital is running an hour behind. That's uncomfortable ;-)
