We're back from a quick, refreshing long weekend in Hilton Head. As always, we had a blast, but no one had more fun than Evie. She absolutely loves the beach! When we'd go on walks, she was nothing short of giddy, running in the water and digging in the sand. She wore her puddle jumper in the ocean and the three of us spent a lot of time bobbing in the waves where she would periodically announce: "I'm havin' FUN!" followed by a lot of laughter. She even rode in her first wave on a boogie board with her daddy! Despite the long and stormy drive, it was an awesome trip.
Today we had our IVF class! It's the first step in the process that is becoming more real by the day. Thankfully, it wasn't as overwhelming as our last IVF class, after which I spent the rest of the day trying not to faint (I was still scared of needles at that point--how adorable). We did get the general schedule, which kind of sucks. Matt has a trial in Kentucky slated to begin on October 16. If all goes as planned, our egg retrieval will likely be somewhere between October 15-18. Not good. If you're the praying type and have been looking for an addition to your list, please pray that Matt's case settles. I found my last IVF cycle to be the most trying experience of my life and I am a bit sick to my stomach about the prospect of going through Egg Retrieval/Embryo Transfer alone. I also accept happy thoughts, well wishes and good vibrations.
And now, some cute pictures:
