IVF: Egg Retrieval

On Tuesday I was able to spend some time with the babies. It melted my heart when I opened the car door to open arms and, "BonBon!"

While Christy was in surgery, I enjoyed some snuggle time with our little sweets.

Oh, my heart goes pitter patter. She is such a good baby and is already cooing and smiling.  It is not gas! 

My baby girl has done very well. The medication did it's job and they were able to retrieve Xnumber of eggs. Called today and at this point over half achieved the results that we were hoping for. Tomorrow she will call her nurse to see how they are progressing. If all goes as expected, the transfer will be on Monday.    Christy has done better than she expected.  She was given pain medication and slept most of the day yesterday. She had some cramping and bloating but nothing like she had anticipated. She goes back to work tomorrow. Everyone says the third day is the worse. She's been somewhat anxious about overstimulation but so far so good. She is eating protein and drinking lots of water. She took an early walk this morning. I am so proud of the trooper she has been.  She and Troy have been through so much. It's sometimes been hard for them to believe. That's okay. This mama BELIEVES even when it's been hard for them to hear.  I've torn that roof off and put them in front of Jesus more times than you can imagine. I will continue to so until we get our miracle.
