The Binder

September 24th

Time for the talk with Dr. Amy and to get our action plan calendar. We were very excited for this appointment; we went in with a long list of questions and and an even longer list of hopes. She gave us the rundown of what the next couple of months would entail, as well as a briefing on the meds. She talked a lot about when the embryos would be placed in my uterus and how they were going to decide which ones to put in. Apparently there is a grading system and those little guys/gals have to prove themselves worthy of the womb. My poor kids have to make the grade just to have a chance to be born. By the time college rolls around they will be pros at the admissions tests!

We left the binder appointment feeling confident that this was going to work, but a bit confused on the logistics. So much to remember, thank god it was all outlined in the giant white Binder. We must not be the only ones who leave the consult confused because right afterward they have you sit with a nurse who goes over it all again. Now that is thorough! So I went home and started to read and hightlight... I know, I know what a NERD, but I was going to understand how all of this works before it is actually happening. I only hope that after all this craziness and my OCD about the binder Andi still wants to start a family... with me!
