Sounds like a plan...

Ok, so I went to the doctor this morning. I got there about 10 minutes before my appointment and sat for an hour before getting called back!!! There were women sitting around who had appointments 30 minutes before me so I knew this was gonna take a while. When they did the ultra sound there was definitely alot of follicles. My ovaries are actually so full right now that they couldn't measure them individually because they're touching. Doctor Ripps once again informed me that I may get OHSS (he's making me nervous) but said that we won't be able to tell till about 5 days after the retrieval. So right now that's a wait and see. Anyone who knows me knows I hate to wait. Oh well. I am going to get my HCG shot (the hormone that tells your body to release the eggs, therefore making you ovulate) tonight at 11:00. My retrieval will be done on Wednesday morning. We have to be there at 9:00. Jeremy has to do his part... (finally it's not all up to me!!!) and they'll hook me up to an IV and give me happy medicine :) If everything goes well the In-Vitro will happen on Monday. I really don't want to have to wait (there's that problem again) till later to do the IVF, but we may not have a choice. I've just gotta stop worrying. God has handled much bigger issues in the past, and he is fully capable of handling this. Thanks for all your support and prayers. Hopefully on Monday we'll be very close to having a little baby of our own. :)!!!!!!! I will leave you with a verse that I will be claiming all day.... Psalm 56:3 - What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. P.s don't worry about me, I am nervous but I am ok. Just keep me in your prayers.

Hey Girl,
I can't believe how close it is getting. I know it has been a long road and God will be with you right to the end, whatever His will is for ya'll. If you have a chance, give me a call. I would like to hear from you, but I know you are busy.
Love and prayers for you and Jeremy,
Shelly

I read your posts on the edge of my seat. I am so excited for you. Hope the little ones didn't bump your belly. I am praying God lets you know He is holding your hand all the way through. Hang in there. I don't like waiting either. I'm impatient most of the time and God keeps me humble! KWIM? LOL Love you and keeping my ears and eyes out for the big news!!
