Awesome Hubby!

I just have to say I am so proud of my hubby!  He is has been such a trooper.  I knew he said that he would give me the PIO shots, but I wasn't sure how it would pan out.  I was thinking that he would start out giving them, and then get bored with it, leaving it up to me.  But since day 1 he has taken full responsibility and actually gets excited to do it.  I love it!  He has also been doing a great job being a detailed engineer like he is. =)  The first one was the most painful due to his inexperience, but after that he has gotten them down pat, with little to no pain.  During the injection that is...of course I am still walking around with the inevitable sore rear that feels like I have been over doing the gluteal exercises. =)  Well, yesterday he got caught up at work and didn't make it home in time for the evening shot.  So I had to get my gumption up and give it to myself.  I have to say that I did pretty well considering.  The cooler part is my husband was worried that he wouldn't have to give the shots anymore, now that I "know" that I can do it.  He admitted that he felt like he had a part in all this and was enjoying it.  Well, I informed him that I DEFINITELY prefer to have him do the shots for me.  I don't mind needles, but man, that one is a doozy.  But most of all, I do love having him join in the process. 

In an ideal world of course, I wish that he could contribute more than income and shots to result in a pregnancy and birth.  But we all have our difficulties in life, and of all the ones out there, I am thankful for this one.  It took me a while to get to this point, but I am thankful I have to depend on God for something.  I am thankful for infertility because I know that I will treasure my children more and be more vigilant at raising them well.  I am also thankful for options like EA and traditional adoption to give us hope.

Well, we will be leaving this afternoon for TN.  I am excited.  I also feel such a peace about this whole process.  I know we are doing what God chose us to do from the beginning.  These may not be our children this go around, but at least we will have had a part in releasing them to heaven.

Our appointment time was also changed to 8:45 (arrive at 8:15).  Our snowflakes will soon be melted and becoming the unique individuals that they are.  Oh I have to share...I mentioned a verse I am claiming this transfer in my previous post about how God knows when each sparrow falls, so how much more does He care for us and these babies.  My friend had sent me that verse to help alleviate my fear of the unknown....well, I have a flip calendar I use daily...guess what verse is on the Sept. 22 page?  The same verse about the sparrows!!!  God is amazing and keeps loving me in amazing ways!  Who knew my transfer date and that verse and that calendar would all coincide?  Goosebumps galore!

Well, suppose I should start getting the laundry done, the house vacuumed, clothes and meds packed, dishes away, dog exercised....since we leave in 4 hours. Eeek!
