What today would have been....

Today March 11th was my original appointment with the reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Jarrett. That's right, the man I've already seen twice. Today was my first scheduled appointment at 2pm but now instead he and I have already done one cycle together. He is in Bloomington today but I won't be going to see him. I have my next appointment with him on the 24th in Urbana. I am so thankful I had my appointment moved up and that we have been proactive. So now instead of just seeing the doctor for the first time, I sit on the eve of taking a home pregnancy test filled with possibility for the first time. I know there was one follicle and hopefully with a viable egg. I know my hormone levels were up high enough when tested last week that my body could support a viable pregnancy. I know from the last ultrasound that my lining was thick and ready to receive and LORD knows we had brownies repeatedly around the proposed time for ovulation.
So I am nervous, maybe a bit scared, definitely excited, and processing about 9million thoughts a minute if not a second. I am glad Clay and I talked about it and decided it would be okay to test tomorrow before our trip instead of waiting till we get back Monday. What will we see? How will I feel (I know that depends on the answer to that first question)? I am going to try to hold off and sleep till at least 5am since I will probably not be able to return to my slumber. Clay wants to be awake too, so maybe neither of us will get any sleep. My world right now sits as one big "IF".....
