Hey there everyone that actually reads this blog of mine! I am happy to say that my blog has been shared on Facebook by some of my friends. For that, I thank you :)
The real deal....
Do you ever feel like your mind just won't quit??? It seems like the closer we get to the treatment date, the more my mind races about any and everything. I think about money (we all do), how lonely I feel now, will I have any time to myself when we have a baby, will Jay help me enough, will we be good parents, will I be a different person after baby....and so on and on and on. I have to stop and mentally scream at myself: SHUT UP! And BREATHE....
So I looked at the calendar today and realized we are one full cycle away from starting our IUI. How do I feel about that? Anxious, excited, & scared are the 3 words that perfectly describe my emotions right now. I think that's pretty normal, don't you?
In closing....
If any of you have questions or advice for me...shoot! I appreciate any and all feedback from my friends out there. :)

I must say, I am enjoying your openess and the honesty as you blog. I can understand your fear...money; changes to you, your marriage, and your routine; and the coping.
Let me just say this, to my dear dear friend.....it is worth the worry. And the worry doesn't go away as a child enters your life, it simply changes. If we wait for the right time, no one would ever have children. There are always things to worry about, concern yourself with, and think on.
But you grow, you learn, you cope. We all adjust and find our way. Your Mother had no clue what she was doing when she had children, my mother had no clue what she was doing when my siblings and I were born, I had no clue what the hell I was doing when I became a Mommy. You learn, you change, and you adapt. Yes, your life will be HECTIC and CHAOTIC...but oh the love your heart will expand to hold....makes up for all of the worry. :D
Breathe, pray, relax. You are going to do great!! Babies don't come with instruction manuels...and it is just as well that they don't, for no child is the same as the others, and it helps them to grow to who they will be through life if you fumble your way through.
I am so excited for you, and I pray that the treatments work so that you can see for yourself...that once that baby is in your hands...the rest of the world becomes a blur. You and Jay will form a stronger bond, united in rasing that wee bundle and protecting him/her from the world until the baby is ready to face it.
Stay strong, stay positive, pray, and know that we are behind you, my dear friend.

Wow Jules! That was the best advice I have heard thus far! Thank you for your honesty as well, it is much needed right now. I still feel a little bit of anxiety but the more advice I get from my mommy friends the better I feel. :)
