This started as a blog about our journey in trying to conceive, IVF, the loss of our little angel, my pregnancy and birth of our twins, and our little surprise munchkin. Now we are all on a journey with the Army. This has become more of an update of our life but if you read from the beginning you will find info about our IVF experiences.

I feel like an egg factory ;-)
I am definitely feeling full today! We did the hCG trigger last night (along with the other 2 shots yesterday). I rather felt like a pin cushion yesterday!! ;-) All went well with that. I'm enjoying my needle free day today however I am feeling VERY bloated and heavy. Especially on my left side! I have been watching my weight (just to keep an eye on it for OHSS) and that hasn't gone up too much but my pants are TIGHT! I have to be at the hospital (IVF floor) at 7am tomorrow morning. Yes we LOVE to get up so early on days off work! ;-) I'm rather excited and kind of nervous. I'm excited to have them take these little eggies out of me so I don't feel so full anymore. I'm also excited to find out how many eggs we ended up with and how many will fertilize. My RE informed me that they do ICSI automatically and even though Nick's superman (in the sperm department) they'll probably do it anyway. Probably better that way since apparently my eggs suck! I feel positive about that. The nervous part - well that is just me being a worry wart! I get that from my maternal Grandmother. If only she could be here now. I miss her so much and she would totally understand everything I am going through. Apparently the hormones are getting to me because I'm really emotional! Hopefully we'll get some good fertilization rates and some healthy embryos to transfer and maybe some to freeze as well. Anyway - Happy 4th of July to everyone. I'll be knocked out for the first part of the day and probably nauseaus from the anesthesia for the second half!! LOL Maybe I'll feel better in time for fireworks but better yet hopefully we'll get some good news on our (hopefully) soon to be babies!!!!
