Roller Coaster

What a day yesterday! I called in sick to be at home to accept the sperm delivery. I got up, worked out, peed on an OPK (+!) and then started to make an egg mcmuffin for breakfast. Then the acupuncturist office called and told me that my T had a family emergency and had to cancel my appointment for the afternoon. I panicked! They offered a Monday appointment, but I couldn't do the times they had. I called N sobbing. I felt like all of my hard work was for nothing. Last week at my appointment K had said it was critical I came for acu every week now that we are actively ttc. N tried to calm me down and I got off the phone and finished making my sandwich and then ate it. The office called back and said T would try to squeeze me in at 10:30 before she flew out. I told them I would know by 10 if I could make it. (It was 9:15) I then quickly got showered and dressed and waited for Fedex to arrive with the sperm. By 10:05 they still hadn't come and I called to cancel the appointment. I then watched some TV and the Fedex came at 12:15. I decided to get all cleaned up and centered emotionally. After a relaxing bath N called again to check on me. I was much calmer and was able to talk somewhat rationally to him and explain that the OPK was + so we would inseminate that night and the next day. He came home from work, and we went out to dinner with our good friends at the Alehouse. We then all came home and they hung around for another 2 hours. Finally, they left (normally I would love them to hang out all night, but I needed to sperm up!) and we prepped the sperm and myself. N was great. He got it all prepped and done in no time at all. I then inserted an instead cup to hold everything "in". I then lay with my hips propped and a "baby making" playlist on my ipod for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes I flipped onto my stomach propped (I have a tilted uterus so I thought this might help) for another 30 minutes then went to sleep. I feel like yesterday went really well. I am now waiting for Nate wake up so we can do another insemination today. I can't believe we've made it to this point and now I'm just having to have faith and let go.
