21 Eggs!!

First off, I want to thank everyone who has and continues to pray for us. I have had so many phone calls, text messages, and fb posts and I am so grateful for all the support we have gotten from our awesome friends and family.

We are thrilled to be starting out with 21 eggs this time, it's definitely the most we've ever had.  The embryologist will be calling me in a little bit to give me more of a break down of how many are actually mature and and starting the fertilization process. Having 21 eggs inside of me explains a little bit of why I haven't been feeling great these past couple days....but so worth it! :)

The morning started off a little rough, we went back and it took them 4 sticks to finally get my IV in and going. Then I went in the procedure room and remember them  putting oxygen in my nose, sticking things on me, putting lots of blankets on me, and looking at monitors. I started praying for God to have his way and that no matter what happens at the end of this, "I am yours Lord." I don't remember much after that other than when I woke up I was in a lot of pain. I was cramping really bad, Brad could tell I was hurting and he rubbed my back, prayed for me and was singing to me. He then went and asked the doctor if I could have some pain medication and they had me drink water and eat crackers before they gave me some to take. He has been absolutely amazing today and even though it's been a rough day I am so thankful for him and everything he has done to make me feel more comfortable today. It's not an experience that I would prefer to go through but it definitely has only made our relationship stronger and really shown me just how much he loves and cares for me. I am so blessed to have him!

It's been a little bit harder leaving Lexi so much this time because she vocalizes how much she misses me and I hate that. I think most moms can relate no matter where you are in life you have mom guilt. :(  I just want her to always know that no matter how many other kids we have or what we go through to get them my love for her will never change. I took this pic of her this morning, she knew we were going to the hospital and was a little sad to leave us but I told her nana was taking her to get a Donut so she perked up and gave me this cute little pose. :)

Please keep the prayers coming, from here on out the Embryologist will call me everyday to let me know how our embryos are doing and how many we have left each day so I will post as we find out, he will for sure implant two. My transfer date is set for this coming Tuesday and then the next week we find out if I'm pregnant!! The worst part is behind us, Hallelujah!!
