So there have been quite a few things happening since my last post. First off, I finally introduced myself on the 3T board. It felt right and has turned out to be much better than I was expecting. So far I haven't become obsessed with my IF and it hasn't been all consuming.
Baby D was born to J&C 8/28 weighing over 6 lbs. According to the doctors he was a micro-preemie since he was born at 35 weeks. The general consensus is that the doctors had the wrong due date and that he's only a week early and not 5. Baby D and mommy were both okay and are home now.
Babe is finally back to working normal 8 hour days instead of the grueling 16 hour ones. In celebration, he, his brothers and his dad planned a trip to Vegas. While he was away I planned to pick our nephew up from preschool for his dad and help my sister-in-law out a bit as well as feed my father-in-law's dog. In two days I basically drove all over southern California to do an airport drop-off, hang out with my sister, feed pets, pick up kids, dinner and watch soccer games. By Saturday night I was beat. Thankfully Babe was just as exhausted when he got home that all we did was sleep.
At some point this weekend I mentioned to him that there was a Resolve Walk of Hope happening this month in Long Beach. It's something that I literally just ran across and thought it might be a good time to network and find IF resources. Interestingly enough he said that while they were in Vegas, his brother asked us how things had been going and if both of us had been tested. Babe of course had to brag that in the average SA there are 20 million sperm per ounce and that he had 90 million. They talked a little bit about IVF and adoption and which ones we were considering depending on how the next year or so go. Two great things came out of it. One, everyone we're close to now knows and I didn't have to be the one to share it. And two, it's reassuring to know Babe has these conversations with his brothers and that he feels at all comfortable discussing our IF. It made me all warm and fuzzy hearing him tell me about it. Hopefully he'll be comfortable enough to join me at the walk in a couple of weeks too.
