An Update...

Yesterday I tried to go to work, but just on the drive from Jeremy's work to mine (which is about 3 or 4 minutes) my stomach hurt so bad that I felt like I was gonna throw up. Still I was determined to go to work. One of the girls at work asked me how it went and how I was feeling and that was all it took, I started balling and decided there was no way I could function. I drove to my mom's house and she set me up in Kara's room (thanks Kara!!!) and propped my feet up and told me to take it easy. I ended up watching about 5 movies yesterday, I don't know how women on bed rest do it. I was so bored, yet so physically exhausted that I didn't care. I really want to rest and get better so I don't have to miss more work, or be hospitalized. My mom made this brocolli and cheese soup like they make at Panera Bread and it was so good! (I'll have to put the recipe up later) The doc has me taking the progesterone shots and all just as if I were gonna have the embryo transfer on Monday. Jeremy has now given me two shots in my hip and has done very well. I am at the point now where if they feel like I even have a little OHSS left I don't want them to do the transfer. I would much rather wait till December and not feel like this. My stomach is so swollen I look 4 or 5 months pregnant.!.!.! I do feel a little better today though. (Thank God!) I actually picked up around the house a little, but I'm gonna make sure I don't over do it. At this point my body makes sure of that for me. Linda called yesterday and some of our embryos fertilized -not all 27 of them- she'll call me again today and let me know how things are looking. It's kinda unreal that we have our child "maturing" at the clinic today. Thanks for all the well wishes. Hope you all have a great weekend!!! Love, Me

Hi Pumpkin :) I am glad that you are feeling a little better today! You are in my prayers and thoughts constantly. Remember that you are so much closer to your tree of life everyday.

"He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength." Isaiah 40:29
