IUI take 2

So today was the big day. I didn't sleep much last night/this morning. I was too anxious that I would oversleep and miss the deadline for getting Scott's sample to the lab. My worry was compounded when I got a text message saying that work was closed due to the weather, meaning the roads were bad. I had to time the events of the morning perfectly.

I got on the road with my "precious cargo" and arrived at the doctor's office with time to spare. There were a couple times I know that the Lord must have been looking over me while driving. I slid through two intersections, which were luckily clear.

Maybe you have been to the office of a Reproductive Endocrinologist, most likely you haven't. It is a strange feeling going into an office where you know exactly why everyone is there at 6:30 in the morning. Nothing is said, no eye contact is made with the males, you just give a sympathetic smile or nod to other women; you know without a doubt(for once) that you are not alone.

I had the misfortune pleasure of seeing the same doctor as I saw yesterday. He went over the numbers of Scott's sample, which was like speaking Chinese to me. Apparently they were good, because he suited up got ready and said "Let's put these where they belong." Which was surprisingly funny and not what I was expecting from him.

While the procedure was going on, I was watching Scott because I didn't have any other choice. He was sitting in a chair in the corner, watching the doctor. All of a sudden he looks up at me and smiles, saying "You want me to take pictures and put them on Facebook?" This made not only me chuckle, but the doctor as well. 

I took the rest of the day to rest and take it easy. With the resting I did today, I hope that increases my chances of the procedure working. Now the fun 15 day wait begins. Please pray for me. I need hope, faith, trust, and peace so that my body can do what it needs to do. If my mind is at rest and peaceful, then my body can prepare a home for a potential baby.

Easter brings new life. I am coveting this in prayer. For me. For Scott.
