It’s here. Transfer week. Tuesday’s the big day and I’ll have to go straight from a client conference to the hospital.
I’m nervous, not feeling as optimistic as I would like — and constantly going over whether I have done everything that I possibly can to lead to success.
I spent Saturday alternately drenched in NY’s torrential downpours and doing errands. I did get to my spin class (and couldn’t help myself from thinking – this could be the last spin class for a while – I hope, I hope, I hope). Got my nails done and bikini waxed (no use in feeling sloppy this week while everything is exposed on the table). Had a nice dinner with DH at a new bar & grill in our neighborhood – where I contemplated ordering a drink, but decided that it wasn’t worth it. Want that uterine environment to be perfect (yes, I realize that one glass of wine doesn’t make a huge impact, but what if?)
Today I started the medrol & tetracycline to prepare for the transfer on Tuesday. I also drove with some friends to visit other friends and their new baby in Cherry Hill, NJ. Held a 5 week old for many hours willing him to tell my body and the universe that I am ready.
I did, however, miss my yoga class today, which is a bit of a bummer since I had done a private session with my teacher last Sunday to explore vinyasas and breathing that could help with IF. I was looking forward to taking her regular class, but the traffic back across the city and into Brooklyn was heavy.
This week is also very busy with work and DH will be in Arizona for his job. So, I’m focused on doing everything I can to put myself at ease, do the things I know I should (including acupuncture both Monday night and Wednesday morning) and just – be positive.
If you are a regular reader, comment often, lurk or just happened upon this blog today, any luck you can send my way would be most appreciated.
Hoping for you that this week and your transfer goes well. Try to keep your spirits up and I’m sending you lots of positive thoughts. That stinks that your DH will be away
I’m saying a little prayer for you tonight.
i’ve been lurking since the very beginning, and i just want you to know that i’ll be praying for you and sending every single good thought i have in me in your direction!
Sending you all the luck in the world!
Good luck!!
just happened across your blog today for the first time – good good luck! i hope spin class doesn’t see the likes of you for a long while!
Oh, Gracie….It’s really here! I’m sending you so much luck for tomorrow! And it sounds like you have done everything right. Keep up the positive thinking and try to stay relaxed (yes, easier said than done). We are all here for you and we are all willing the universe to let this happen for you. Big hugs coming your way!
Sending tons and tons of luck your way, to my favorite city in the world
Do not think about whether or not you have done everything possible–you have done plenty and now it is time to just enjoy the transfer and rest up afterwards. I’m sorry your DH won’t be there though.
Keep us posted!
After all the waiting, it is here. You’ve done all you can do, so be at ease with that knowledge. I’m very hopeful for you! And I’m here to wait with you during the dreaded 2ww. Best of luck tomorrow!!
Oh good luck! I am super rooting for you, and hoping that all goes smoothly and that you just breeze through this tough time.
All the BEST to you! Good luck this week and I hope you can stay relaxed and positive!
Bets of luck. And totally know what you mean about the wine, it probably won’t hurt but why chance it?
I meant, of course, *best* of luck.
Am summoning the full remnants of the luck I haven’t already used in my life to end up with J and also the twins and am sending the lot to you. I realise this means no lottery win, no random kindness of stranger handing me a bag of cash, no promotion, no new funky friends moving into the vacant house next door, but you are absolutely, completely and utterly worth it.
Hope it goes really, really well. And whatever Womb for Improvement might have mistyped, I’m still betting on you. After all, you’ve got everyone’s luck, so it can’t be a bad bet…
Sending all the luck I have to give.
Just popping in again to say I’m thinking of you today, sending you lots of relaxation and sticky vibes!
Go Gracie!!!
Wishing you all the luck in the world. Stick embies, stick!
luck from brooklyn! (okay, via the lfca, but still)
