Mother's Day and Medication

We seem to always have a quick jaunt to So. Cal from NV when we are in the middle of our trying to conceive sessions. Its seems that right before our cycle day 3 or right after our two week wait we have a trip planned. Bad Timing? I don't know - just our luck maybe we have plans cuz we rarely have things to do but when we make plans seems everything happens. This Mother's day was no exception.

We were not planing on going and when I let my dad know via a phone conversation he kinda gave me a GUILT TRIP. Keep in mind I have not missed my Mothers Mothers day brunch in years! I felt bad but M was gonna be on cycle day 3 on Saturday and to drive out to So. Cal Saturday night and then return Sunday is/was ridiculous. My Dad even questioned me about our Saturday RE visit. He said, "and the Dr's office is open on Saturday to see M?" I laughed and said yes in this business there is someone on call but we also have lots of medicine we need to keep refrigerated. His response to that was, "well Pack a cooler". I felt so bad when I hung up the phone and told M we had to go even if for a night. Luckily, the RE saw her on Friday and we left later that evening. So we packed up for Mother's Day and the Medication.

Mother's Day was a nice Brunch my mom and her friends and then my Sabta. Usually the same every year. This year I told my moms friends who have Sons in college how they should encourage their sons to donate and how Jewish sperm is hard to come by and how much money they can get paid .. It was very comical and I am not bashful.
Hopefully, a few So. Cal sperms banks will get a few new Donors !!!

On Saturday night there at my parents house we gave M her first injection of Gonal F and it always so entertaining cuz she gets giddy and has a nervous laugh and has to get a pillow to cover her head.. My dad even helped us cuz he has a pen injectable of some diabetic med he takes. Its just funny - she hates needles... but her reaction is HYSTERICAL and not like a typical afraid reaction.

Now that I am on this quest to be a Mother - Mother's day had a different connotation to me . I celebrated with all these wonderful Moms mine included and I felt the yearning and longing being that we are working on Project Baby !!!
It did not hit me until I posted the following on Facebook and My aunt responded which brought me to TEARS ! I was getting in bed and jumped on line and saw her reply.

I posted the following,

"Happy Mother's Day to all the MAMAS out there
!!!! I can only aspire to be just like you - someday !"

and then I read my Aunts reply and tears fell from my eyes. Her reply was,

"You will be...".

Just re typing this and re reading makes me choke. I can only hope !
