Work was busy this morning. I've been playing catch up and doing my best to stay on top of everything in between the days that I’m out traveling back and forth between fertility appointments and other doctor visits. It's a lot to juggle, and I almost always feel like I'm letting someone down or falling behind on something, but my team continues to be amazing and supportive of me.
This afternoon was wonderful! Doug, Lauren and baby Louella came to town for some quality hangout time. I had been planning to head up to visit them before my treatments began, I wanted so badly to meet sweet baby Lou and see my girl Lauren before... everything. But she wouldn’t hear of it and instead hopped in the car with her family and came south.
We spent the day catching up, loving on Louella, laughing and reminiscing - we picked up Macy early from daycare so that she could see aunt Laur and uncle Doug too, and we all went on a walk around the neighborhood to enjoy the beautiful day!
These are the days that I am going to focus on. The days with my loved ones, sitting in the sun, making memories - my spirits have never been higher and I’m feeding off of the renewed sense of urgency to fight this diagnosis and put it behind me so that we can go back to actually living our lives and enjoying them with our friends and families.
God has blessed us with such incredible people in our lives and I am so grateful for the unending outpour of love and support that continues to come our way.
