That’s right folks - Lupron leftovers. The first one that left it’s mark! It’s about the size of a 50 cent piece. (are they even 50 cent pieces anymore? God, I’m old.) Anyway, I’m injecting 10cc’s every morning at 8am and so far it’s been pretty good to me. This morning, I somehow hit a main artery. I don’t really bruise easily. And this sucker won’t be leaving any time soon. From what I remember from try #1, I had a belly full of these beauties by the time I was done.
Cristy had tears in her eyes when I showed her at lunch today. She has this thing about feeling like she’s not doing “enough”. But I remind her often of her part and that is making sure that I’m given plenty of meds during retrieval and that I’m given plenty of sleep that first year. Okay, she doesn’t know that second part yet but I’m certain she’ll agree to it. 
I’m starting to panic at how quickly the result is coming. In just two weeks we’ll be well on our way to retrieval and June 9th sounds like a beautiful day to make a baby. & a few of you have asked about my referral to two… If we’re lucky enough to get two good eggs, we’ll go for it. It’s not my very first choice but it’s a better chance and I guess we just think of it as a bonus. My mom had twins. We’re lucky enough to be surrounded by friends and family for those days when we need a few more hands. We both simply think twins would be nothing short of a blessing.
And speaking of blessings, we Cristy picked our donor. I have always said that part belongs to her and she had chosen someone a few weeks ago that she was pretty sure about. But as of yesterday morning, she changed her mind. It’s funny how that happens. She sent me his baby pictures (which I never wanted to see before) and now I have this little visual of what may be. He’s chubby and happy and he has one of those grins that looks like his jaw is tight from too much pickle juice. Maybe that’s a bad example because you’re picturing some strange smile but it’s really adorable. He is going to make a great she.
And I can’t wait to meet her.
