Another visit. Another NST. Another Ultrasound. Another Exam.
Another week (at least).
The clouds gathered all around us as we made the familiar journey to AWS this week for our checkup. Everything is going so well.
Lauren was really hoping that we could light this candle today but it's just not in the cards.
After sitting through ANOTHER 20 minute non-stress test and an ultrasound we were directed to a waiting room for the doctor. This was our first time in a waiting room with a window. For about 5 minutes the sun shone through the clouds and the blinds and lit the room up.
Lauren remarked, "how can we get 'bad' news today in such a bright and cheery room?"
'Bad' news is sooooo relative. I try to imagine all of the truly bad news that people had received in that office about infertility, complications and loss.
Dr. Perry gave us the inconvenient answer today. It caused some discomfort and a bout of bitterness in my wife, but there is still a light at the end of the tunnel for us and for that I am happy. The past month has been a lesson in patience. I am sensing that this will become a theme for us throughout our children's lives.
I am so anxious to meet my son and carry him for my wife for a while. She deserves a break and I deserve a turn now.
We'll find out more next Tuesday.
