One month to go!!! Eek!!! I can't believe that in one month (plus 1 hour, 21 minutes) I will be on my way back across the country to make our miracle!!!
Despite all my excitement, my mind keeps thinking about the those who lost their lives in the CT school shooting. Do I really want to bring a child (or children) into a world full of hate and violence? I hear people talking about home schooling their children, which I think I could handle, but would that really solve the problem? Because not all violence occurs at schools, you would have to completely shelter your children from the entire world, and then you still run the risk of having something happen at home. Then there's all this talk of gun control. That's not gonna help anyone either. Since when do criminals abide by the law, anyway? I guess what it all boils down to is that tomorrow is never guaranteed, and you must cherish every minute given to you like it could be your last. Tell your family you love them. Tell your friends you miss them. Give your pets extra treats. Never take anything for granted...
So, back to this baby business... I'm very excited that Brian has finally found a job! While this is definitely a good thing, it means that I will have to make the trip to Salt Lake by myself. I'll be there about 10 days before he arrives. That fact is a bit scary in itself. What's even scarier is the fact that I will be responsible for all of the knowledge and administration of my medications. Mixing, timing, and injecting. All this on the shoulders of the girl who hates needles. This on the shoulders of the girl who's anxiety will be thru the roof before I even get on the plane! It's selfish, I know. But still.
Last night, I was working on the scrapbook I'm making of this adventure, and I came across the handouts the nurses gave us on our consult. I had completely forgotten about them! (my bad). They were full of information on the procedure. I should have paid close attention to the section on the medications, but instead I learned that for the entire 2+ weeks, I will be on activity restriction. I can walk and do yoga (yah, like I do yoga...), but essentially, that's it. Nothing strenuous. No exercise. I'm not the most dedicated exerciser, but I had planned to find a local gym to visit, since I'll have nothing else to do. But I guess not! I'm gonna be a hermit in my hotel room! I will be bored out of my mind! But it will all be worth it in the end, right?
Well, this is more of a a whiny blog than I intended, so I guess I better shut er down for now before things get too deep. (dang hormones!) We would appreciate everyone's continued prayers as our big moment approaches. Merry Christmas, and God bless!
