Big Day Tomorrow

Hi all,

I know it's been awhile since I've updated but I've been busy busy busy with back to school season and haven't really had much to say.

Chris and I have been doing OK... we've done a lot of talking and a lot of thinking over the past couple weeks. I don't want to say we are more pessimistic this time, maybe just more realistic. We really really believed that the in vitro was going to work. This time we have discussed what would happen if it didn't work.

As of right now, if this round doesn't work we will be the fun Aunt Maggie and Uncle Chris for awhile. We honestly don't have any more money to put into this process right now and we don't want to make a big mistake in spending/borrowing money we don't have. That doesn't mean we are giving up. It means we are going to keep trying naturally (hey, it's a possibility just not a probability) and see where the future takes us.

We have, however, decided that even if we never have kids, we will be OK. We truly never thought we would find someone to share our lives with like we have. We believe that we can still have an amazing, beautiful, fun, fulfilling life if children aren't in our plan.

Again, that doesn't mean we are giving up. But I think if I couldn't come to terms with what would happen if I can't have children, I would die.

SOOOOO all that said, what the heck is happening tomorrow??!!

Tomorrow is our embryo transfer. This time we are using our 2 frozen embryos. Tomorrow morning they will be dethawed and the doctor's office will call to let us know if none, one or both made it through the dethawing process. Then, later in the morning, we will head to the doctor's office for the actual transfer. The pregnancy test will be the 6th, and yes, that is the real date. I don't think we could try that trick twice!

Thank you so much for all the prayers. This has definitely tested our faith but we are working through it and hope that God gives us strength for whatever comes our way. We love you all-
