This morning my hubby, my kids and I went for a lovely drive to Manly to pick up an ebay item I won. It is a bassinet attachment for the Quinny pram I bought. I am so happy that I've managed to get the pram, the bassinet and the seat attachments all for under $100. Considering this pram retails in the shop for $699.95 I think I've scored a bargain and saved a lot of money. The pram itself is blue, but I have some material on the way which will co-ordinate and contrast to give it a more neutral theme. The bassinet is red, which is a lovely neutral colour too. I love that it has a flyscreen to protect the baby from flies and mosquitoes.
The gentleman we purchased the bassinet from was nice and advised us to get a maxi cosi car seat that will fit on this pram. I will have to look into that and see if it is any good. I prefer to take bubba out of the seat as I believe too much time in any one position is not good for me and certainly not good for a baby that is still forming and growing.
With the long drive we had a chance to talk and get some of my concerns out in the open. I guess I feel very nervous considering I am studying, finishing an extensive practicum and being a wife and mother all at the same time. Then I want to add going through my first IVF cycle on top of this all. I thought hubby would be advocating the position to wait until it is all over, but he isn't. He believes that we should'nt wait now. He believes there is every possibility that I will fall pregnant on the first cycle with every fibre of his being.
His faith in me was a wake up call. He believes I can do it all, and if I can't then I can always rely on him to help. I've had quite a few people tell me it will be harder than I think and that could be the case, but if my doctor and my husband believe it will be easier than I believe then who am I to gainsay them.
I think it is quite a bit of nerves getting to me at the moment. I'm nervous about the medications. I'm nervous about the injections. I'm nervous about the extraction operation. I'm nervous about the implantation. I think I'm the most nervous about the two week wait...the dreaded wait to confirm if I am pregnant or not.
My faith is with the universe, with my deities and with my husband. They have restored my hopes and I think tonight I will spend a bit more time fussing around in the nursery which always makes me feel better.
I will make a promise now not to let what I read, hear or get told will shake my faith in our decision to add to our family. We will love our new addition/s with all of our hearts, souls and bodies.
Come soon my little stars...Mummy and Daddy are waiting for you!
Blessed be,
