Keep your hands inside the ride folks, here we go!

All the waiting is finally coming to an end. We visited the doctor for an ultrasound Saturday and again this morning and his verdict is that my follicles are the right size which means the eggs are ready to be harvested. As far as what's next.....tonight at EXACTLY 10pm (even a few minute variance can screw this whole thing up) my wonderful husband will inject a drug into my butt muscle that will trigger ovulation. With all those eggs (over 15 - normally women release only one per cycle!), I am imagining this to be quite interesting. Exactly 36 hours later (10am Wed) we return to the clinic for the egg retrieval. This involves sedation for me thankfully because they get the eggs with a very large needle! I'm all for oblivion thank you very much! We are both very excited and full of anticipation (read my husband's blog on this subject at drugsworld.blogspot.com).
We appreciate all the prayers and encouragement that our friends and family have provided along the way. Not sure we could get through all this without it! I probably won't blog again until Wed or Thurs night and by then my eggs will have literally been injected with my hubby's sperm (romantic huh?) and will be dividing like crazy in a petri dish.
Celebrating that God is good all the time,
Kendra

You now have THREE faithful readers. I love you guys like crazy. I know that God will bless you beyond understanding. My dream, hope and prayer is that blessing will be three little boys (or any of the other combinations), but my trust is that God will bless you in accordance to His will and desire.
