Several months ago, Gus said if things had gone the way we would have liked with the December IVF cycle, that we would be bringing our baby or babies "home" to a hotel. And he was right. The twins would be almost a month old by now and if it would have resulted in a single embryo pregnancy, he or she would have been due last Friday, the 26th. I could be on maternity leave right now, instead of putting in a 15 hour day today. But for some reason, that wasn't the plan or path for us.
Is being too tired a good enough reason to cry? When I get tired, I get really emotional. I've had many instances where my eyes have filled up with tears for no reason at all, other than being extremely tired made whatever was going on seem a ton worse, but then I was actually too tired to follow through and cry.
House update - with a lot of kicking and screaming on Gus' end, there is actually someone at our house today to start working on the floors. We were given three dates already that fell through, so I was happy to see the van there today when I went to drop off a check for the HVAC guy. Yeah, our air conditioners don't work. BOTH of them aren't working. We have awesome luck!
I applied for a new part-time job. I saw an ad that caught my eye. A social service agency was looking for someone to transport children from their foster homes to their periodic visits with their parents, so I sent in an application. It would be all evenings and weekends, but the only problem would be the same if I worked at an animal shelter, I would want to bring them all home with me. :) But I think it would be a great experience, and could open all kinds of doors for the future. I'm 110% sure that this story doesn't end when we get Sammich. There will be some kind of foster/adoption/orphan care volunteering/work/advocacy coming from all of this on my end. It might be after Sammich is grown or it might be the day after we bring him/her home, but it is quickly becoming something I am passionate about doing.
Still waiting on my availability to get updated at job #2. Hoping the next schedule they make will reflect my changes, because until then, they have me working 30+ hours each week. Keeping my fingers crossed!
3 more weeks until our Nashville trip! We are going down there for an adoption conference that will count toward credit hours for our continued training. Looking forward to getting away again. I'm really starting to regret that we cancelled our cruise. STUPID MOUSE!!!!!!!
