the waiting game

I've been a bad blogger. I admit it.

The past couple of weeks have been filled with doctors appointments, bloodwork, ultrasounds, trips to IVF clinic in Boston and some bed rest. Now, the waiting begins. I go in for serum pregnancy test on Oct 27th and the waiting is killing me. Its amazing the little head games you can play on yourself when you are waiting for such important news. I have been doing yoga, acupuncture & massage to stay as relaxed and calm as possible, but those panicky moments still seem to slip in.

The good news....I test 4 days from now & will get the news late that afternoon or the next morning. I can do it. I have a busy, fun weekend planned to keep my body and mind occupied. Scrapbooking with friends, Harvest Supper, pumpkin patch and carving & an evening with my niece. . . I'm even going to remember to take lots of pictures!

Have a great weekend everyone!
