Ho hum

I'm doing ok. Sad, but not flattened. I suspect I haven't fully processed things, but at the moment, that's fine with me. Night time, right as I'm trying to go to sleep, is hardest.

Physically, the D&C recovery has been easy. Minor bleeding, no cramping. Anesthesia is the way to go. Very thankful my doctor was able to squeeze us into his evening before he left for vacation the next day -- much easier to be on this side of everything.

I took 3 days of methergine, which was the least pleasant part of recovery -- each dose (3x daily) made me feel yucky. Queasy, rumbly tummy, etc. Last dose was this morning, though, so it's behind us. And yay for no shots.

I got a nice email from the nurses at our IVF clinic checking in on us (my ob emailed with my RE pre and post-loss), and scheduling our followup phone appointment for January 12. We'll have the genetic testing results at that point.

I figure until the end of February, nothing invasive is going to be going on. So we'll spend some quality time together, and rebuild a sex life (have to wait two weeks post D&C, though). We have vacation scheduled for mid-February, and we have two full weeks together right now over the holidays.

Thanks for the wonderful messages of support over the past few days. I hope everyone finds some joy in the holidays, be it from the change of season, food, family, or a break from work.
