Adam's 6 Month "Check Up"

This morning I dropped off Adam's swimmers to see if there are any improvements from his surgery last August.  We are told if there is no improvement this time, then the surgery did not work.  At least we can say we tried.  Poor Adam however is still sore from the surgery and probably always will be.  Sorry babe.
It's always a challenge to get the collection because you can't do it in the doctors office because the room they put you in usually has a couple of used magazines that are about 10 years old and a pee pad on the couch.  So gross!  The goal is not to make contact with anything in the room.  You can also hear everyone walking up and down the hallway which can be a real mood killer.  Then there is the dreaded walk of shame out of the room where everyone knows what you just did.  We have found it is much easier to collect at home and take the sample in.  The only problem is you are on a time crunch to get the little guys there before they start dying.  Temperature is also a big concern and I have found that placing the cup in between my boobs not only makes it easy to hold the cup but also helps keep them at body temperature.  We are hoping this will be the last time we have do this with the exception of IVF.

We should know the results within a week.  I will keep you all posted.

We also love reading comments about you think about our posts.  Everyone, feel free to leave us comments, good or bad.
