New Protocol

Well since my last post its been crazy here (not regarding surrogacy or IVF), Friday the same day as my last post, hubby's uncle past away and funeral arrangements have been underway since. Today was the funeral and I unfortunately cannot didnt make it due to work and a demanding job, to say the least. My hubby called an everything went well as it could.

I received today my protocol from my RE and it goes like this:

I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Not sure how i feel...there are times where i dont feel like trying anymore but i want the warmth of a baby in the house to share our love, knowledge and happiness with. Hubby said to me the other day as we were looking at fall decor for the house..."i love the hay stacks and pumpkin theme in the front yard but i wanna wait to do that with our kids, it would be more fun for them and us"...doesnt that just melt your heart? how could you not want a baby with this man :)
