Houston...We are ready for launch!

IVF is not only a long process (this round is about 10 weeks) but it also is full of ups and downs. Each time you go to the doctor for an ultrasound and bloodwork, you always wonder in the back of your mind if this will be the last appointment or if you will continue on the journey. In the past 7 days, I have had 8 appointments...imagine the anticipation! You really never know until the Wednesday before the scheduled procedure if you will commit or not commit...but I am happy to report: Houston, we are ready for launch!
We will push forward onto the next step of this process, which includes the actual In-Vitro-Fertilization procedure on Friday 3/18. The next 7 days...between now and Wednesday 3/23...are some of the most crucial stages of IVF. My dear friend was so sweet to buy me a sweet OJ Dart (or so my mom calls it!) that has a little angel hanging off the words "One Day At A Time." I think that sums it up best...one day at a time, never giving up hope! Thanks for all your love and support through this journey.
