I thought the nesting phase was supposed to start much, much later.
I've really been gearing up for this transfer. I want to really take it easy when I get home. And I want to enjoy a clean and organized house while I'm taking it easy. Everything is in it's place. I even finished painting and organizing a few small spaces. I am impressed with myself!
I've planned for a friend to come visit for a couple of days after I get home, just before our beta. I know it will be a good distraction. And she'll be a very good guest from an emotional/infertility point of view. She's a nurse who just had a minor surgery and is off work. She's always taking care of everyone else. I think while she's here I'll enjoy pampering her a little bit.
I spent the morning watching bits and pieces of the Olympics. I loved watching montage they did of the athletes after their events. One Olympian said to remember that when you want something and put your whole life into it, whether it be sport or something else, that it will pay off. He said just keep trying. You'll get there. I'm going to take his motivational words personally today. In many ways, I feel like an Olympian of infertility.
I am ready. Hubby is ready. Please, please, please let this be it for us.

PS) There are no more adhesive remnants on my body! Yay! Thanks for the tips! They couldn't have come at a better time. I'm up to 4 patches every other day now.
Oh, I hope this works out for you. My mantra these days, as I spend the next few months preparing for my own transfer also comes from the athletic world (OK, so it's really from the exercise video world of Jillian Michaels, but it's getting me through)--if you know the why, then any how is bearable. You deserve this. Our community deserves this. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteWhen you wrote "our community deserves this", it stuck something deep within me and made me tear up. Thank you for those words and well wishes.
DeleteSending you so many positive vibes this week. I too, hope this is it for you. Enjoy Colorado and best of luck! Keep me posted!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzanne. Will do!
DeleteHoping for you! What remedy did you use on the adhesive?
ReplyDeleteA combo approach. A little oil and then rubbed it off with some alcohol pads.
DeletePs) I tried to find the adhesive wipes but couldn't find them at my pharmacy. I will continue to look for them.
DeleteAll kinds of positive thoughts coming your way!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :))))
