BFP

Dear Baby,

It's unbelievable, but you are coming, finally.  After missing my period, and all the awful cramps, I started to get suspicious.  Also the too big for their bra boobs were a jumping around during exercise, like they had a life of their own.  That was the second clue.  The two positive pregnancy tests were the icing on the cake.

DH has the (last) pregnancy test and wants me to start a shoe box with belongings for you.  He thinks you're a girl, and have started talking to you already.  

I'm off to the GP tomorrow to have your existence confirmed, medically.  Now, the wait begins.  We've told a couple of people who've been ecstatic.  DH wants to shout it from the rooftops, but I've convinced him to keep his council for another couple of months.

Look forward to meeting you.

Love, 

Dear Mama

Clomid and IUI

Dear Baby,

On Friday,  our RE called.  He outlined our options, do nothing (meaning trying at home) or come in for vaginal ultrasound, start Clomid and schedule an IUI when I ovulate.

Last year, when I thought this would happen right away, I was in such a hurry.  Right now (as I age every second), not so much.  This month, I want to gear up to run a race, and increase my Pilates to three days a week to really work no my core.  None of those priorities matches up with spending four or five days in a doctor's office with my legs in stirrups.

So, I'm putting it off.  I hope that in June or July when I'm feeling better about myself, I'll be more ready for medical intervention.

Love,

Dear Mama
