It's time.

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.  So they called, and it's a go.  I'm headed to the Doctor in the morning, to have my eggs transferred back in.  All 3 are awesome.  One is a Grade A- and the other 2 are Grade B.  Not really sure what all that means, but she said it was great.  There is still a miracle that has to happen, which is implantation, but I'm on my way.  Thank you all for your prayers and texts.  I'll try and give you some posts in the next couple of weeks, but I might just lay low and pray a lot.  Christmas is going to be the day I find out.

I'm going to get my babies!!! :)

Bringing you up to speed.

Oh my gosh, time is going so slowly.  Had my surgery Wednesday morning.  I woke up asking how many eggs.  They harvested 6 eggs, but they didn't know any more than that.  So back home I go.  Wednesday evening took forever, and of course I started my next round of shots.  Progesterone in oil, in the buttocks or hip area.  22 ga needle 1 1/2 in length.  So far my friend Erin has given me the shots, and she is wonderful.  I've only almost passed out once.  That's pretty good.  Pretty sure, that it was anxiety and the left over meds from the surgery on Wednesday.

So, wake up Thursday.  Morning time goes by at a snails pace.  My brain wouldn't work, watching TV was driving me crazy, couldn't relax.  The Lortab were not working, and I was just mush.  Finally, I start to relax around 2, when the phone rings.  I look over and see the Doctor's number.  My heart stops for a second, and I hold my breath.  She says hi and asks how I am.  Come on already, no small talk, just give it to me (that's what I was thinking) but what I said was, I'm great, how are you?  So, she tells me they harvested 6 eggs, 4 were mature and 2 were immature and 3 of them fertilized.  I started shaking, and the tears rushed to my eyes.  My voice quivered as I wanted to know more, but there was nothing else for her to say.  She said it was good.  Just hold tight, and they'll call me on Friday.

It's Friday...... I woke up at 4 am.  Did laundry, dishes, read the paper, watched about 6 episodes of Family Feud.  This day is dragging by.  I'm listening to music, I'm thinking of everything but my possible children in OKC, sitting in a Petri Dish.

I've prayed, cried, prayed some more.  My friends are praying, there might even be a few of my atheist friends who have prayed.  I can feel it :)

So, you know as much as me at this point.  I hope to have some more news soon.  And Good news at that.

Half way there.

I can't believe it. Finished up my stim shots about an hour ago.  I can remember receiving them in the mail, and wondering how in the world I would ever make it.  Well, it's over.  Pretty sure that's the easy part.  There is actually one more shot at 11 p.m.  It is the HCG trigger shot.  So, it gets the ball rolling.  I'm scheduled for surgery Wednesday morning.  I'm excited, for surgery.  Well, for one, they are giving me drugs, to make me feel loopy.  Never turn down drugs ( now kids, I don't mean fun recreational drugs, oh wait, drugs are not fun!!! Never fun)  Just, when the doctor is there, and wants to make you feel warm and fuzzy, let him.  The second reason, is they are harvesting eggs.  There are eggs in there.  Well, hopefully there are eggs in there.  Random cases of no eggs retrieved have been reported, but by golly, I believe there are 6 beautiful eggs, just waiting to be introduced to donor number %^$#.  ( sorry for all the symbols, but to protect the identity of the anonymous donor, I won't reveal his number)  He is not completely hidden, but I am not allowed to try and find him.  Only my child can when he/she turns 18.

I'm so much in awe of what these doctors and nurses do.  They study for years, and then they practice getting better at their field.  The human body is such a wondrous thing.

I am a firm believer in Science, but I am an even firmer believer in the Creator of all things, God.  I, deep in my soul and heart, know that he gives people talents.  So when people say, "If God wanted you to get pregnant, or have a child, you will".  I agree, but sometimes everyone needs a little help.  He has given me that, by the team I've come to know over the past 8 months.  I'm thankful for all of them.  I'll be even more thankful, if we have success and there is a baby or two.  Now, if there are 3 babies, I might not send them any Christmas cards.  I'll be in shock for one, and broke forever.  :)

So, for my surgery the nurse told me to bring my music and have a playlist.  I've really had fun putting it together, and all my friends on facebook helped.  You have to have fun with life.  Every day, you need to laugh and smile.  Every day, you should try and make someone else laugh and smile.  So, here is my playlist:
