So I haven't posted in forever... I think it's because I have been avoiding much of the latest happenings.Christmas was amazing! How can it be bad when Santa is one of your personal friends.
Lou caught our mystery creature living in our back yard. It was the biggest rat I have ever seen! Ewww. It also appears to have pack rat buddies that are still hanging around. So gross!
Austin and I went to our IVF class, which was uneventful. Nothing really new to report. I think I have over googled everything. I have also had some amazing people reach out and share with me what their experience with it was like so I am feeling anxious but ready. I am eternally grateful to them for opening up and making this whole thing a little less scary. It's always kind of fun to have Austin at the doctor's with me. Which will be happening a LOT more here soon!
My 30th birthday came and went. I survived. Not without one hell of a meltdown prior to. I actually induced my first full on panic attack. Which included one never ending ugly cry followed by the ever lovely hyperventilating/gagging/almost passing out. Come on people I am not completely scared of aging...give me a little credit :) I think it was just the combination of it all. Life is going so incredibly fast and slow all at the same time. The years in general are flying by which is scary. Life is so precious and yet so fleeting. There have been so many moments I would love to just bottle up. This baby making business on the other hand is moving at a snails pace. (More like a herd of sloths racing through a field of peanut butter kind of pace) I guess I just thought by now we would have been blessed with a child. Clearly God has other plans for us and we continue slowly trudging toward that goal. The process for achieving said goal has been and will continue to be hella scary. To top things off our timeline was actually changed and my start date was pushed out further! UGH! As if things weren't taking long enough. We start meds mid February and our egg retrieval will be toward the end of the month. I will definitely be better about blogging once things get moving.
My birthday itself was a ton of fun. We celebrated me getting old by dressing up like very old people. It was hilarious and a much needed night out with friends and family. Austin and I are so lucky to have such an amazing support group surrounding us. Thank you all you crazy, beautiful, wonderful people that make our lives a little brighter!
Thank you to my incredible hubs for throwing me one heck of a b-day bash. Now you know what you have to look forward to in the next 50 or so years. :)
