Today is Wednesday. It is just after 6pm. Fred is watching Grace splash in the tub while I relax right next door in our master bedroom and take a minute to catch up here.
I can say that I am finally relaxing—my anxiety is all gone. I’m really enjoying the peace I feel knowing that our family is on its way to completion. We found out the day before yesterday that my college roommate that did IVF just before us saw two little heartbeats on her ultrasound. Her numbers went up by 120% over 48 hours, Jamie’s went up by over 240% over the same period of time. That being said, I would be shocked if we are not having more than one baby. We will know for sure on Monday—5 more days. What amazing news that would be!
I talked to Jamie right after I got Marisa’s news about the twins, and she was shocked. She is a little apprehensive about carrying more than one baby—for good reason. She has 4 kids to care for and she is used to going full speed. I told her that I would pick up right where she left off just as soon as I’m needed. Still though, this is a HUGE, ridiculously huge gift and there is no way we will ever be able to thank them enough. We will spend the rest of our lives thanking them for the gift of our family!
I haven’t called Jamie since Monday (2 days) because I want to give her some space. I don’t want her to think that she has to talk to me every single day for the next 9 months. I do love her, though, and I adore talking to her about everything. I feel awful not talking to her and thanking her daily, but I think this is best… It's a hard call! One of many I will face over the next 9 months, I’m sure. Still no complaints though. This is the VERY best decision we ever made!!!
