1,000th Day

Well today is the 1,000th day since we started the adoption process, (and we've ttc for 1,915 days). I really hope and pray sometime in the next year our waiting will come to a close - either we'll have a baby from IVF or adopt a baby (probably through Cathy is the more likely scenario). I never dreamed when we started ttc in 2002 that our efforts to become parents would include creating 180 profiles for birthmothers, having over 100 shots in my belly, creating 2 Ukrainian dossiers, going through 3 home studies, spending about $35,000 so far, etc.
Well at the moment I consider myself to be pregnant with triplets until proven otherwise! I have been on the couch since we got home aside from going to the bathroom. I took a nap yesterday and STILL slept 10 hours last night! I'm still praying for all seven embyros!!!

Grow, little embryos, grow! :-)
Ruth, I am so honored to be able to follow your journey. I hope you'll get great news on the embryos on Monday, and even better news in two weeks! I can assure you that, no matter how long, stressful, painful this journey has been, it will be all a blur once you get to hold your child (and totally forgotten if you end up with more than one child... I could not even remeber what medications I used when I got pg, if you can believe that!)
More sticky vibes!!!!
