Not even a day into the new year and I manage to damage myself further. Allow me to explain:
Me- Hey, I need to cut up some food. Since I do that on a daily basis it surely can't be anything I need to pay close attention to.
Kitchen knife- Wait...you aren't watching me...and I'm thirsty for blood! My time has come!
My thumb- Hmmm....I feel too long and heavy...maybe I should just take a nap beneath this shiny silver thing.
My nerve endings- MOTHER F^&#%$@!!!!!!!!!!
Yup...I cut the tip of my thumb off. Nothing major...no stitches or anything. I cut about 80% of the way through the skin and nail about a centimeter down More of an inconvenience than a serious tragedy. But still...does not inspire confidence in myself. Yay 2009!
So I go in for my ultrasound tomorrow and we'll see if any follies have decided to cooperate. Still no ovulation, which is good since it would have screwed up the IUI schedule.
I keep going back and forth on how I feel about all this. One second I am excited about it all, the next I start panicking about how we are going to afford all this and if we are just wasting our time. I don't know whether to tell myself that this is going to work, or to prepare myself for another disappointment. What to do, what to do? Seriously...I am totally open to suggestions.

Best of luck with your ultrasound later today.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Mel's LFCA. I know how hard the struggle with infertility can be and I'd like to do something for you. Someone was kind enough to gift me with a pre-order of Mel's book and I would like to pay it forward by pre-ordering one for you. To do so, I would need to get a mailing address for you. If you could email me and let me know your feelings on this, I would appreciate it.
Thank you so much for the extremely sweet offer. I'm going to have to pass on the offer for a couple reasons:
ReplyDelete1- I would rather maintain my anonymity since I write a bunch about family and friends on here. Teh interwebs are not to be trusted!
2- Mostly, the book comes out in June (looks awesome, btw!) and by then I will be having to re-evaluate what we are going to do (adopt, hysterectomy, etc.). Basically, when it comes out, I hope to not be dealing with the IF so much.
Thanks again! Maybe someone else who comes here would like to take Kristin up on her generous offer?
