D.C. Area Babies

One year ago today....

DH and I woke up early and drove to Shady Grove for my first IUI. He dropped off his "sample" and we went and ate breakfast at Panera. We were both so nervous and joked that if it worked, we'd have to name the baby Panera. Then we went back for my appointment and I remember just shaking in the waiting room. It was unreal how quick the IUI was. I somehow expected a bit more ceremony or something. Instead, Dr. Stillman kind of breezed in, they showed me the ID tag on the catheter so quickly that I could barely read it, and next thing I knew, the nurse set a timer and told me I could get up when it buzzed.

On our way home, we stopped by Krispy Kreme and I got a lemon cake donut before we drove home. I had taken the day off work and I spent the afternoon daydreaming and wishing that the IUI would be successful. I imagined how life would be if I had a baby, I figured out the due date, and I tried to picture a combination of me and DH with pudgy baby legs and cheeks, smelling like baby powder.

One year later, I look back and think to myself how unbelievably lucky I am. My world is a million times better now that J is part of it. I didn't know what I was missing until he got here.

Thank goodness for Shady Grove Fertility. One year ago today, they made our family complete!
