I am done! The procedure was fine this morning. It took a little longer than yesterday, because, again, my insides had shifted around and Mary had a few problems finding everything. But once she found what she was looking for, she said she had a great shot. I have been sore today, but I am taking it easy. The soreness is going away as the day wears on. I won't give you the gory details, but Jenny says a uterus is about the size of a fist and flat. So anytime you manipulate it, it just gets sore. It's all worth it though - I would've done just about anything they asked me to!
Steve had another stellar performance today. Though we didn't get an official count, Mary said it looked really, really good. Since we were the only people there this morning, she let us look at a sample under the microscope. Those boys were swimming like crazy on that little slide! If they were half as excited as they appeared to be, surely one of them found a good follicle!
The next part, for me, is the hardest part. The only thing we have left to do is wait. I'll take a home pregnancy test in 2 weeks, and go see Dr. Keenan in about 2 1/2 weeks to discuss the results and next steps. I'm sure they'll confirm anything through blood work. Thankfully, Steve and I will be occupied the next 2 weekends, so hopefully it won't drag by. My mind is filled with so many possibilities. Part of me is excited, part of me doesn't want to let myself feel anything yet. Laying on the table today (I have to lay still on the exam table for 15 mintues afterwards), we turned it over to God again. At this point, it's all we can do!
We are getting so close. Thank you for the continued prayers!
