DH told my parents!!

D is just getting braver and braver (he even told people at work). I am so, so proud of him!

On most Sundays, I go to my parents house with Oreo (our furbaby) while David works. He takes the train up after work for dinner.

While we were clearing dishes from dinner (I made fresh marinara from the tomatoes in my parents garden) he says to me, "I'm going to tell your parents." After a few seconds I get what he is saying and ask him if he is sure. He tells me they should know and he wants to tell them.

So after we're done cleaning up he calls Ma and Pop (as he refers to them) and says he wants to talk to them.

He then proceeds to tell them that we've been TTC for 2 years and that we need help because he has NOA. He's having surgery this month and we will try IVF in March and we have 40% odds that it will work. He tells them that he loves them and is sorry he hasn't given them grandchildren.

My mom was very supportive and told him not to worry it was going to happen and it wasn't his fault (another thing he said) and gave him a big hug and told him she loved him. My dad just sat quietly crying. When I had told them a few months ago that we were having issues and would be doing IVF (I did not tell them any specifics about why we needed to do this) my dad got up and left the room, he couldn't deal with it. I was actually surprised my dad sat there and didn't leave again.

When we left my dad gave D a big hug. On the way home D said telling my dad was the hardest thing he ever had to do. I have to agree with him, I never want to disappoint my dad or see him sad. We're both BIG criers and very emotional in general. Growing up I NEVER wanted to upset my Dad, I am a Daddy's girl to this day. He is the most wonderful man ever and D is just like him, it's a little frightening.

All in all it went well and D is glad he told them. I am too. It was very hard to hide it from them because we are extremely close and I know they would want to be there for us. D was worried they would stop loving him, I'm glad he sees that they will love him no matter what, just like me.

Update on my friend Z and her husband A.
Dr. S performed the mTESE and found thousands of spermies. They even have some leftover to freeze!!! They have 7 embabies right now and will have a 3dt on Wed.
I am so happy for them. Praying those embies keep growing and growing, I hope they get some snowbabies!

Cara Amica - sono cosi contento!!!

Dr. S is amazing, he truly has been given a gift and to be able to help couples who previously would have had no hope is amazing. I am praying his hands can fix what is going on in DH's balls and we can have our miracle babies next year.
