I've got about 15 minutes until we have to leave to take the dog to Camp Bow Wow for his stay and then head to the hospital, so typing in my blog is a wonderful distraction from watching the clock. And since I couldn't eat or drink anything after midnight, this is also keeping me from dreaming of a nice cup of decaf.
OMG, DH and I barely slept a wink last night! Between excitement and nerves and our lack of sleep, I think we're both going to be exhausted later. At 5am, I finally gave up on trying to get back to sleep. I rolled over, snuggled up to DH, and what did I do? I started crying. Then I got out of bed, got in the shower, and cried even more. They were all happy tears mind you, but the tears were flowing nonetheless.
I just can't believe we made it to this day. Three years ago, I was anxiously anticipating my tubal reversal surgery that was coming up in August. I had no idea that we'd go through the chemical pregnancy, the 2 ectopics, losing my tubes and an ovary, moving onto IVF, and having the TAC surgery. And yet here we are, almost 3 years after we started this TTC journey - only hours away from meeting our little girl.
I'm sure there will be more happy tears today, lots of smiles, and lots of hugs and kisses for my DH and my little girl. For now though, I better do one last check of the hospital bag and off we'll go. Talk to you all later!
Congratulations in advance. I don't blame you for the tears of joy and the lack of sleep, it must be such an emotional time. Thanks for the post on my blog. It is nice to hear success stories to give me hope.
