Crumpet – Glad to hear the results of the scan were normal, even though the journey was eventful! I’ll be thinking of you and hoping that your procedure goes well. I’m also sorry to hear that DH is sad and that it is so hard for you to envision a positive outcome. After so many early losses, the sight of a BFP is enough to make me cry and start the grieving process almost immediately. We must still have some hope, though since we still keep trying. DH and I did much better this last time around in terms of embracing the baby and trying to be happy for every moment we had until we lost our angel. I like the idea of a 3D scan. It gives you a little more to hold on to.
AFM – I was being kind to DH last Sat and mowed our backyard – that is until I hit a yellow jacket nest in the ground. Did I mention that I’m allergic to wasp stings? So I’m stung multiple times, racing at top speed from the yard to our kitchen door, and completely freaking out. I’m yelling for DH at the top of my lungs, in excruciating pain, and flinging items at random out of our freezer until I find a suitable cold pack (peas). DH FINALLY makes it downstairs from the office and tells me that I should really tell him what the matter is when I call for him so that he will know whether or not it is an emergency. Now really… the whole screaming incoherently at the top of my lungs didn’t tip you off? I didn’t actually think I was being that subtle. To top it all off, my epi-pen was completely buried in our kitchen junk drawer and when we finally found it…. it was expired by 4 years. Thank God I didn’t need it, although I did swell up pretty spectacularly. I’ve been on steroids for four days now and the swelling has finally just gone down (although I’m still a bit itchy and have some hives). On the bright side, I now have a ready-made excuse for why I can no longer mow the lawn!
Hugs, baby dust, and sticky vibes to everyone! xoxo
