ER day is here!!

Sooooooo, it's been an eventful, emotional, exciting kinda day! Me & my DH had to be at RE's office at 7:30 for our retrieval this a.m! I cannot believe this day has came & retrieval is done:) Time flies when your busy injecting yourself & making sure your eating just right. Isn't it funny that this has flown by, but for some reason the 2ww will just cruise slowly like it's not for anything better to do?! Ugh. So anyhoo, retrieval was a piece of cake & I loved the meds they have me. I was just a talkative somebody. I couldn't shut up! Haha.... Tim (anesthetist) was great! 

About 30 minutes after recovery we finally found out how many eggs were retrieved & we were super stoked! 22 eggs & hoping & praying they are some bambino's in that bunch that will make there home in my belly here soon:) Anxious about the call tomorrow, but excited too. This whole process has been pretty amazing & I'm just so grateful at having this opportunity. What a gift! To be able to see life in its very first stages is awesome & to know MY God creates each cell & decides to create a human being. Only God can do something of this magnitude & I am thankful for the RE's, embryologist & nurses who help bring all of the pieces together! 

So being its been an eventful day this chick is laid up with her feet up watching CSI Miami & waiting for my DH bring me some din-din. I am craving carbs & anything that's not good for me. I deserve to splurge tonight:) 

My symptoms from retrieval is some gas, soreness, cramps, but nothing that's unbearable. I've been hydrating with Gatorade & water to make sure I don't come down with ohss. Hopefully I'm on the right path:) Im off work tomorrow so I can rest up & prepare my body for the transfer. That part im not looking forward to having a full bladder while having a catheter inserted through my cervix into my uterine cavity.... But it's got to be done so I'll suck it up! I'm just gonna make sure I don't drink to much & if I need more of a full bladder I'll drink up. Thankfully it doesn't last long & hopefully my embie babies will be mighty sticky! 

Tomorrow I'll know more about what were working with & I hope & pray God allows us at least 6 mature! I'll update you guys as soon as we know tomorrow.

I want to give a shout out to my sweet DH for being such a trooper with the things he's had to do for this process! I know it's not easy & now he can just sit back & relax:)
