Excitement

I have this feeling of excitement every night when I take my BC pill and baby aspirin. I literally smile at myself in the mirror when I get ready to swallow. We are getting closer, closer to the chance of getting pregnant and finally having our baby. BD'ing is actually fun again and we feel like a couple of kids. My husband has been gone for two weeks and we are both super ready for him to be home (wink, wink). Our last two weeks have been very busy so we haven't had a lot of time to sit down and talk.  He sent me a text today while at the airport basically talking about how he is ready to do whatever we need to in order to make this happen. Does it suck that we are going to have a high rate with ARC? Yes, but I also know that we will pay extra when we can and that it will be worth every penny if we end up pregnant  WHEN we end up pregnant.

I have also been focusing on what we have and not what we don't have. We have a great marriage, we have great jobs, we have (somewhat) supportive families, we have God, and we have our health. I always imagined that there would just be two of us in the room when we conceived but sometimes our dreams come in different ways than we expected.

I should be finding out soon what meds I will be taking since they have all of my blood work and my baseline ultrasound is done. ARC paperwork will be signed this week, and then medication will be ordered. We also need to schedule the gazillion appointments between now and then as well. Egg retrieval the beginning of November and then transfer. Our birthdays are a day apart (Nov 11th and 12th) and I couldn't think of a greater gift than a pregnancy. So I'm making sure everyone at the clinic knows this is what I want!
