A (BIG) Little Update

                This weekend we went and spent much needed time together. It's crazy the topics you can cover in the cab of an old second gen Dodge. I am convinced that you can solve the worlds problems there. Haha!

We had a follow up appointment with our team in Billings this afternoon. I was so sure that everything was going to get pushed back another month. I have been thinking about this appointment for the last couple of days. Honestly, it was kind of hard to think about having fun with Reo this weekend. All the emotions were so overwhelming.

So, we walked into the building this morning after lots of different conversations about what the next steps will be. The what ifs were just flooding my brain. What if they push it back one more month? What if in the next couple months, they just keep pushing it back? What if we must go somewhere else? All these thoughts just kind of masking my emotions.

We sat down at the desk with Melanie. We chatted for a few minutes, and she could tell I was just a bit down. She asks what has me down. I just tell her that I am kind of loosing hope and that I know I am not at the weight that Dr. Dahl wants me to be at. I have gone on tirelessly about how great the team is there in Billings. I really do mean they are great. I didn’t want to have to go somewhere else and that’s what I told her. I want to stay there. I didn’t want to have to start over again.

So, we decided to do another ultrasound. The whole point of me losing the weight was to make my ovaries more accessible. Which praise the lord today they were front and center. Melanie was super excited for us in that regard. She told us that she was going to talk to Dr. Dahl today and that she would get back to us this afternoon.

With that info we headed home. We talked about all the scenarios again on the way home. Reo again had my feet grounded. Seriously couldn’t go through this without him yet again!

We got to Sheridan to eat, and we get the call. WE ARE RETREVING EGGS IN SEPTEMBER! It really hasn’t sunk in yet. I am still just in shock. Of course, my BFF Whitney was keeping track of me today. She asked me how I was feeling, and I told her I was still in shock. She asked how Reo was feeling, and I actually had to ask him. He told me he knew it was going to work out. Little tiny story before I wrap up this blog for the night. Reo was at work this week and noticed that a truck driver had gotten turned around on one of the roads there in the oil field. So he went over there and told him to follow him up this road to a wide spot to turn around. The trucker followed Reo up the road to the wide spot and turned around. The guy was so appreciative of what Reo did and he could now go on is way to his destination.

When I asked Reo how he was feeling about everything that has happened today he just said that maybe helping that lost truck driver gave us a little bit of good karma and good luck today.

To wrap this long-winded story up. Just remember, as Hugh would say, “Be cool and don’t be an asshole!”

We are so thrilled for the next chapter in this wild ride. Thank you for reading my blog. I love you guys and hang on tight because we are in for a wild ride!
