Is there such a thing as ‘IVF brain’ because if so I definitely have it. I would say I have ‘pregnancy brain’ but since I’m not prego yet I’ll just stick with it.

I am so tired and feel like my brain is processing super slow — which is not a good thing when you anchor the news. Earlier tonight on the 5pm news, my co-anchor Allison and I were talking about a study on caffeine and I said “so that means we can drink more chocolate and eat more coffee.” No, no Lauren that’s not what it means. Lol

Sleepiness IS a side effect of the meds which makes me feel a little better about the whole thing. Annnnnnd since I’m pumping so many extra hormones into my body the emotions are also getting to me. I guess I didn’t really realize how hard this whole thing was going to be on my body. I have been trying to stay positive through this ENTIRE process but I just had a moment of weakness tonight. It sucks…it’s hard to stick yourself every day and I’m tired and I have a constant headache and I’m bloated..and did I mention that I’m TIRED. It’s hard to focus on the big picture when you’re just so blah. That probably sounds really bad because I’m so grateful for what this is going to do for us and I know God will give me strength to get through this, it’s just hard. And now that I realized that it’s hard and it’s going to continue to be hard on my body for the next few weeks hopefully that means my positivity will shine in front of my worries.

Any extra prayers are appreciated. I know we’re almost there…I just need to remind myself that it’ll all be worth it when our little bundle of love is here.
