I Took the Plunge

I told someone (besides my husband and best friend) about our troubles TTC. I feel a lot better having someone to talk to who has been there.

My husband has been trying me to get to talk to my sister-in-law (my brother's wife, not DH's sister) for quite awhile, but I was hesitant simply because she's family, and I had such high hopes of surprising my family with our news. The time for that has clearly passed. He wanted me to talk to her because she's been in my shoes, plus some. I won't detail her past issues out of respect for her privacy, and she has two beautiful kids now, so it's in the past. However, she has amazing insight and advice to give, and I'm glad that I finally listened to DH. If nothing else, after talking to her I feel validated in my decision to take charge of my fertility and not wait six more months before talking to a doctor. I've been having increasingly painful cramps for the past few days, and it's not like normal cyst pain. I'll probably give it until Monday and then call the doctor. She said she wanted to do a follow up ultrasound anyway to see if the cysts dissolve, so I might as well call and get that arranged.

I am getting so excited for Thanksgiving. I just can't wait! It's my favorite holiday. =) Our anniversary is coming up in 11 days, too. I wish we had some special plans, but we don't, other than going out for our traditional Outback date. He actually told our pastor he wasn't going to be there that night (it's a Wednesday), and I'm super excited about that. I wish we were able to get away for a weekend, but there's no possible way. He works every weekend (both jobs), next weekend we have a youth event at our house, and the following weekend I have to leave for a teacher conference. I would love, love, love to have a weekend away, but with his work schedule it's impossible. =(
