Things to be grateful for, all things considered

I am doing much better today.

Still disappointed, and even somewhat irritated that they didn't monitor me more closely to prevent this from happening, but certainly on the road to acceptance.

Such a shame to waste so many eggs. Sigh.

In the meantime, my hormones are running rampant in my body. It's like I am pregnant, menopausal, and PMS'ing all at once! That said, I am considering those things for which I am grateful:

  • I get to a break from needles

  • I will get to drink and jump around like a mad fool at the No Doubt concert next month

  • I will get to drink and dance like a mad fool at the Sunday Bloody Sunday special event on Memorial Day weekend

  • If all goes well for my next cycle, the retrieval will come right before my vacation at the beach in NC. This means I can take a week off and relax without worrying about work or anything else

  • If I get pregnant, the baby will be born in late March/early April - this means better weather for birthday parties vs. icky, cold February

  • I have a little bit of time to try and lose the 8 pounds I gained this month before starting over again

My thoughts are with you. I'm praying that you will get that March/early April baby. That's the baby I was supposed to get! Perhaps it was meant for you instead.
