A year ago today, Feb. 20th, at this exact time around 10:30 ish, I was sitting in my classroom a nervous wreck! It was the day Jeremiah and I had looked forward to after an unsuccessful pregnancy two months prior...it was the 'insemination' day! We were so nervous, yet hopeful. Jeremiah couldn't get the day off work and I had to go in alone...driving 60+ miles away from home in the storming rain. I waited impatiently in the waiting room trying to occupy myself with magazines, but couldn't concentrate on a single article. My palms were sweaty and my knees were shaking. I said several silent prayers to calm me down. When they called my name, I gave a deep breath and my throat began to throb. As I signed the papers to ensure samples belonged to us, I began to tear and Annabel (nurse practictioner that performed the insemination) consoled me and reminded me that my chances of getting pregnant was a lot higher now and to be positive.
I laid on that insemination chair for what seemed like an eternity. The procedure was over and now it was just a waiting game. I believe a few days or even weeks later, I had to do some blood work to check whether the procedure was a success...I remember calling the advice nurse after school had let out for spring break that Friday. My voice was so shakey and I was so scared! The insemination was a success!! We were pregnant! .. to be continued...Jacob is crying...hehe
