Infertility Olympics

I have been training for this moment for 3 years!  I have been setting alarms to plot charts and progress; I have relayed from doctor to specialist, Flagstaff to Phoenix; I have leaped hurdles and put my head down and run long distance; I have preformed synchronized injections and ultrasounds; I have trained and I want the Gold Medal.  I want to stand upon the highest podium and listen to my personal anthem knowing that I succeeded and all this training was for a purpose!

I am here!  I have two small dividing embryos making a home in my uterus.  It is a comfort to know they are with me.  It is now, that we start the 2 week wait for confirmation.  So, I sit here on my podium while Ian brings me food and water, watching chick flicks and reading cooking magazines (Kristin, you know me to well).

I have adequate entertainment to keep me distracted for the upcoming weeks.  I get a long awaited visit from my adorable, pregnant sister-in-law.  I am thrilled to be hosting her shower to celebrate her baby boy (first grand baby on both sides and first Great on the Holdsworth side!).  My grandma and aunt are making the long drive from Utah and it will be great to have the extended family together.  Plus, if you know me at all, hosting a shower is right up my alley! From invitations and favors to decorations and food, I have thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Thanks to everyone for sticking by me through this LONG process!  The gold medal has my name on it!
