Had an appointment this afternoon with my OB/GYN and we had our usual conversation about the baby-making and our progress (though obviously, if I wasn't there for a pregnancy test or a prenatal visit, I'd think she'd know where I was in that journey) and something came up during the exam. She suspects that I have a cyst on my ovary and I (hooray) am the winner of an ultrasound appointment to figure out what the heck is going on in there. Of course, my biggest fear is the treatment of a potential cyst. The fear of another "routine" surgery going awry because that's just my luck. The ultrasound is scheduled for June. Fingers are crossed.
After that appointment, I fully expect to begin the IVF process. That's such a hard thing for me to fathom or accept or really digest. I'm thankful for the many friends who have gone through the process themselves and have been willing to share their stories. Their stories make the idea a little less scary and a little less unknown. So... that's our next adventure. It's a big one. And it's terrifying. Love and support are much appreciated as we try to figure out what's going on in there and where we're going! Hopefully our end result will be a baby -- though someone (I won't name names because Casey is a dear friend) is convinced we'll end up with triplets. Can you imagine that?! Porch and I outnumbered from the very start? Good Lord, I'm tired just thinking about it.

My amazing nephew is a result of IVF, so I know it can work miracles! I'll be praying for you and Porch that a little baby comes along soon. I've already decided the baby will be called Stoop - like a small porch. :)
