Moving in every way

While I was fretting about pregnancy and ultrasounds, F was going forward full steam ahead. She talked to realtors, mortgage agents and spent hours on line. Our conversations regularly were her talking about interest rates and me replying back about how many days until my next ultrasound appointment. F was worried about how the two of us, the cat – Moumee and dog – Miss Montana, plus baby were all going to fit in this one bedroom and have space for her mom when she comes to stay. My focus was on heartbeats, growth and ultrasounds. We were on completely different planets, but in the end it all came together beautifully. By the end of this month we will be living in our new house!

As part of moving to a new house and moving on there has been some serious shredding. Ten pages of fertility charts, pages of IVF instructions, IVF lab reports, donor short lists and natropathic instructions. The hardest pages to shred where the IVF medication instructions. Those pages were our life for weeks. How much of each medication, what time to take it and all the many appointments for monitoring, transfer and retrieval. IVF is no walk in the park. The papers I am taking with me are ultrasound pictures and the donor birth reporting card.

My belly is also moving on out. It is time to pack up the regular clothes and make room for maternity ones.  That includes bras.  Hooters have been growing to the tune of A,B and C. I will try to get those belly shots up soon! Things have been a little crazy here
