Weekend Getaway

Last Wednesday Zach and I left with my family to go to Hilton Head Island for a little getaway. This trip has been planned for a little while now and we figured the time away would be good for us.

While I do think that overall the trip was beneficial, it doesn't mean that there weren't hard days.

I used to love Saturdays. They were the perfect weekend day. We slept in, hung out and did things around the house, occasionally visited with friends or went to movies, and went to bed late since we didn't have to be up early on Sunday.

Saturday is now the hardest day of the week for me. Every.Single.Saturday. I say to myself, "I should have been 7 weeks, 8 weeks, etc." This Saturday was probably the worst by far. We went to Savannah to eat at Paula Deen's restaurant, which I'll post about that later (it was delicious!).

We walked along River St. in Savannah and every store we went into had stuff for babies and kids. Also at one point this same very pregnant lady was in practically every store we went into. It's silly to think I can avoid this stuff. I know that I can't but man talk about getting that tingly, watery sensation around the eyes. It happens often but less frequently that the first week. Everyday of the first week, I sobbed at least once a day, if not twice a day.

Each day is slowly getting better. I have my post-op appointment with Dr. Scheiber on Thursday. I plan on asking him about our options from here. We also came to the sad realization that if we get pregnant this very first cycle, we won't have a baby until March of 2011. Talk about a long time away.

I'll post after my appointment on Thursday.
