A slight delay

For those of you wondering what's happening with our plans for invitro, I thought I'd give you an update.

We've had to push the date back just a tad, so the process will now begin in mid-May with results by mid-July.

We've had a confusing/discouraging few weeks where we've been teased with the possibility of a pregnancy, only to find that my body was just once again discombobulated, for lack of a better word.

Rod and I had a good talk about everything this weekend. While we're both trying to stay optimistic about this 2nd and most likely last chance at having our own biological child, it all comes down to the fact that we're really afraid of it failing again. I think the emotional roller coaster of the past few weeks took their toll and gave us a little reminder of the ups and downs that lie ahead.

I told Rod that I didn't know if I'd be able to handle another failure. I didn't know if I would be able to pick myself up again. I told him I'd crumble and become a lump that lived under the table, just lying there day after day.

He walked over to the computer and proceeded to play this song from youtube and it made me laugh. I didn't believe him when he said there was a song about a lump...but I was wrong. :)

A song about a lump? Too funny! Don't worry about being able to pick yourself up....Rod will be there to help pick you up ~ the proof is in the funny video he played for you.

Good luck with everything that lies ahead ~ remember, Rod is sitting right by your side on the roller coaster ~
