Well I guess it will end eventually but the waiting feels like forever. So much has happened in the last week.. last saturday we found out that my eggs were not growing quite as much as the doctors had hoped... they were concerned and said if they didnt grow by the next day then we would probably look at stopping this cycle, waiting a few months and trying again later. We were SO scared... but we had lots of people praying and the next day we went in and everything was better! The eggs grew enough and we were back on schedule!
They took the eggs out on Wednesday (feb 23) and there were 16!! It was a painful procedure but it will all be worth it! The clinic called the next day to tell us that 12 fertilized!! Wow! We were blown away! We have 12 little lives waiting to be born and we are excited to meet as many of those as God allows us to meet!
I have just been resting for the last few days and Brody has been so amazing... taking care of everything and working hard, of course. He is going to be such an incredible father!!!
Tomorrow is the big day... we have settled on only putting 1 embryo back in... it only has a 30% chance of making me pregnant but my scoliosis is pretty bad and i wouldnt want to risk having complications if i were to have twins... if i do get pregnant and the pregnancy goes well, however, next time we might put in 2!! :) wouldnt twins be fun???!!! we think so!!
So i have a rollercoaster of emotions inside of me right now... from excitement to fear... as i look ahead to tomorrow and then to the 2 week wait til we find out if it worked... but all in all I am trusting God and knowing that he loves me. And he knows me. And he knows my heart.. what he chooses to do is out of my hands and in His much more capable hands!
But i hope He chooses to let me have a baby this first time!!!!!!!!!! :)
