We told my parents...sort of

Today we went to tell my parents about my surgery. As I expected, they didn't have much of a reaction. They never react to anything. But I think they are still concerned. My dad is retired so I figured he would come to the hospital that day, but my mom insisted that she take off work to come too. I told her it really isn't necessary, but oh well. I knew she had a history of endometriosis, but turns out she had it pretty badly. She also had a lap surgery done back in the day, but her doctor didn't burn it off; he just gave her medicine to take care of it. Hopefully mine won't have progressed that much yet. My doctor said that it's possible that it has been developing for several years, but birth control could have just masked the symptoms. So that part is a little scary. I've been put to sleep twice before, but both times it was for oral surgery so I wasn't put under as deep as I will be Wednesday. I hope I don't puke when I wake up.
What we didn't tell my parents is that we're TTC. Adam thinks it's ridiculous that we don't just tell them, but they are strictly on a need-to-know basis. I'm sure my mom knows something is up at this point, but she's not the kind of person to pry. I just hope my doctor doesn't go out to talk to them after the surgery and spills the beans. Haha.
One thing my mom said today made me feel bad. I was telling her she didn't have to take off work and she said it was the least she could do since it was her fault. I told her it's not her fault--it's genetics' fault. Made me sad though.
I'm sure I'll update again before Wednesday. At this point I'm feeling a little more optimistic about things. This past week I wasn't able to look at anything baby related, but now I'm back to my Babies R Us website browsing. We are still waiting for Adam's SA results, but I'm trying not to think about it too much.
