Tales from Our Yellow Brick Road: Is it Friday yet??

Is it Friday yet??

I hadn't heard from the doctor's office about our next steps so I sent an email this afternoon. Thankfully, it only took a few minutes for me to receive a reply.

Hi There…It looks great!

C will schedule you for US on Friday when I am here and I will see you then

Best!

I will admit it, I used Dr. Goo.gle this morning to figure out the high hcg level and not everything I found was positive, so I quickly closed it. Thankfully, right after doing that I had an appointment with my therapist! She was pretty surprised with my answer to "So, how are things going?" hehe.

I am still in awe of all that is going on and I am trying really, really hard to take it step by step.
