IF the eternal waiting game

hey. nothing exciting here to report really. hot as heck in Cairo, like 95F i think today.

one week from today, next Monday the 26th, we will have our nuchal scan and i am so anxious. i really can't wait and do pray, wish and hope that all is good in my uterus. God how i hope what we see is good.

so i guess i have officially made it through the first trimester, today is 12w2d. yeah for that. its a scary time for me, i try to not worry, not to read too much into anything and just wait to see our babies.

infertility is a bitch man. from a cycle start to finish we always have to wait. we wait for one thing or the other and the waiting nver stops does it? oh well, not complaining just thinking about patient we all should be, LOL right.

sad news.... i am still completely crushed about Clare's heartbreaking news, just crushed. i know so many of us have ups, down, disasters, heartbreaks and they are all devastating, and it sucks. Clare was so excited, so careful, health conscious and to have it all come crashing down like it did, broke my heart. i think of her and mr. t everyday. if you haven't visited her, do so, she's an amazing woman who could use all of our support.

oh my bellabands are in route via fedex but stuck in England due to the ash cloud. tracking says they should arrive here tomorrow by 8pm, we'll see. i think the delivery will be delayed, oh well.

anyway thats it for this monday, have a great week.

  1. It totally feels like that huh, the waiting...like it will never end even when we finally get the BFP!! Well, I hope the next week flies by for you, and then you'll have one more milestone you won't have to wait for any longer!! And congrats on the 2nd trimester, YAY!!!

  2. The waiting is painful. Fear and excitement combatting each other. Sigh...it's tough, but worth it.

  3. Just think, you are a quarter of the way done!! I hope you enjoy your pregnancy and try not to worry too much. I think IF robs us of the joys of pregnancy because we are always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    BTW--are you going to be posting pregnancy pictures? Please do! I think it is amazing how much a woman's stomach can stretch when they are pregnant with twins. Its so cool!

    I follow Clare too...it was just devastating. I'm hopeful she'll be pregnant soon again and this time it'll be there to stay.
    Love, Fran

  5. sorry for sending ash clouds and preventing your belly bands to getting to you :)
    However maybe there might be some break in the volcanic eruptions now and flights might get back on schedule, but this can change very suddenly.

  18. Thank you for commenting on my blog today! One of the hardest things as an infertility patient who finally becomes pregnant to face is the prospect of the screening test to come...just hang in there if you can. You have persevered & bravely faced many drawbacks including a tubal(!)pregnancy, something many have not had to go through. You should be just fine! Good luck! *iclw
