Waiting, Waiting, Waiting

I feel like that is all I do these days. Wait for this, wait for that.

So, I can't believe it has been almost a week since I posted. Bad me! Anyway, last week was a long one. I found out on Wed that my grandmother passed away:

Ruth H. Brittenham
Decatur

Graveside service for Ruth H. Brittenham, 82, of Decatur will be Friday, Feb. 8, 2008, at 4 p.m. at Roselawn Cemetery with Dr. Judson W. Hurt officiating and Shelton Funeral Home directing.

Mrs. Brittenham, who died Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2008, at Decatur General Hospital, was born May 8, 1925, in Henry County, Va., to Lee and Lena White Halbrook. She was a member of First Baptist Church of Decatur. She was preceded in death by her husband, W.S. Brittenham, and her son, Stewart Brittenham. She is survived by her son, Dr. Gary Brittenham of New York, N.Y.; three granddaughters and one great-grandson.

Then I was feeling crappy due to AFs pending, prolonged arrival. She was not being my friend by being SO slow in arriving. Finally Saturday I started spotting and was good by Sunday. So this morning, I called my nurse to elt her know. They then have to get final insurance approval and get me started on birth control pills, which is the start of the suppression phase of IVF. It is now, 4pm and I am still waiting. ;) I guess I won't be hearing from her today. Trying to be patient. I can start the bcps between days 2-5.....so I just hope she calls tomorrow, before I get ansty and call her again. SIGH. This is where I sit.

I came upon your site when I googled Stewart Brittenham. Did he go to high school in Greensboro, NC? Graduate in '64? We were friends but when he went to V. Nam he wrote a couple of times then I never heard from him again. Please let me know if this is the same Stewart.
Thank you and I hope that baby has arrived safely.
