With just over a week left until I start Lupron in preparation for IVF #2, I have been attempting to "just relax". It's proving very difficult. It seems that every time one stessor is removed or lessened, another stressor takes its place, often adding even more stress than before.

Thinking of you:)
Cute food crafts! You are one of the most creative people I know. Awesome. I'm sorry about your brother. I'll try to call you one day soon.
Stress comes at THE most inopportune times. :-( Glad to know you're trying to take care of yourself with a little craft fun.
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. I'm praying for you guys. Hope that stress dissipates a little bit. Xo
HUGS
Thinking of you and your brother...is he close to where anyone you know (or know through the computer!) may be able to visit and bring him something???
