Insemination Day!

Ya know, I just can't stop thinking about something I heard recently: Trust your struggle. When you think about it, life is full of struggles.  Some are tougher than others, but being on this planet isn't easy.  There are so many obstacles we have to overcome and it's all part of the learning process.  So as I trudge through TTC, I've decided to make that my mantra.  ;)
(I just re-read this and it sounds like some cheezy advertisement, but I'm keeping it!!!)

When I woke up this morning I noticed that K had tied a huge pink, polka-dotted bow on Little Squirt's tank!  I said, "Oh, I see you got someone ready for his big day!"  And her reply was, "He's a gift."  (That nearly broke my heart it was so sweet). 

 I buckled him in and we made it to the doc by 7:30.  After he did the IUI, we had time to chat.  He wasn't as much of a Debbie Downer as the NP was yesterday.  In fact, he told us he knew plenty of women who had gotten preggers with follicles like mine.  He told us not to lose hope and that our spermies were of "excellent quality"--18-20 million of those little suckers!  And though I had this terrible worry that he might say, "There's nothing more I can do for you," instead he said we should definitely give it another go next month if this doesn't work!  So, today is a much better day.  We plan to keep it chill and be realistic, but we haven't lost hope!
