And So It Begins....

Today I spent $13,500........WOW!  I even had to call the bank to get them to allow to charge my debit card for that much at one time.  I'm so grateful to my A-M-A-Z-I-N-G parents for helping us out and loaning us $18,000 of the money we need for this process.  We LITERALLY would not be able to be doing this with out their help.  I'm so very blessed to have two wonderful parents that have always supported me/us and are always willing to help us whenever we've needed it.  I hope that I'm able to do that for Tenley (my almost 3 year old little girl) and whatever other sweet babies this whole scary process may bring along. 

I paid our deposit today so that we could officially begin the IVF process.  (It a little bit makes my stomach sick that that huge amount is just the deposit! EEK!)  Our deposit is paid, our preliminary blood work and testing is all done, and now we're ready to get started!  Next week we go in for our financial consult and our "training" session to show me how to use the medicine, give myself the injections, etc.  I'm sure that will take every bit of the hour long appointment that we have since I have SO MANY questions still!  I hate that I still feel so ignorant about all this.  I really need to get to researching!

The journey to this point, when you take what we went through with Tenley, and what we've already been through and will still go through with hopefully our soon-to-be baby(ies) has been tough to say the least, but I have no doubt that it is all for the greater good of God's plan.
