Welcome to my first IComLeavWe. I'm sure there will be a learning curve in this process while I experience a few hiccups as I try to figure this out. My name is Christa, I currently reside in Washington State with my husband. I'm originally from NC, he's from UT. He's a submariner in the Navy so we will not be living here long. We hope to move to sunny Georgia this summer.
I'm currently in Fayetteville, NC going through my first IVF cycle. There are only 6 Military Treatment Facilities in the US that coordinate IVF and the closest one to use (Madigan) has a wait list until April 2011. So I flew out here to Womack because 1) There is no wait list and 2) because I have family living close by who can visit me. Although it turns out that none of them are visiting me so I'm hoping for a visit from a friend or two during the next two weeks. At least I've made a few new friends when I met some of the other girls who are cycling with me this month.
I've only had one ultrasound so far in this cycle but the next week should be a flurry of activity, which I will constantly blog about because I have nothing better to do. So please make yourself at home and feel free to feed Winston, he's always hungry!
I'm taking a trip down to NC for my saline sonogram and to pick up my meds for my upcoming cycle. While I'm there I'll get to see one of my IVF friends (and fellow blogger!) and my nephew, sister and BIL. The last time I saw Blake he was still in the NICU. I have to admit, he wasn't the cutest baby in the world with his huge head, wrinkly skin and bulging eyes. But I hear that comes with the territory with preemies and 11 months later he's turned out to be a pretty cute baby. When my mom and grandparents found out I was coming to NC they all decided to drive up and visit as well. So it's going to be a pretty busy weekend. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it down next month for his first birthday, but at least I'll get to see him now before he starts walking and talking.
