Getting Bigger......

Well I have definitely started to feel the effects of the eggs that are growing inside. Let me tell you, I feel like my stomach is going to explode. It is not the most comfortable feeling. I went back to the doctor this morning for blood work and an ultrasound and they recommended me to go on bed rest this weekend because things were progressing so fast. Since I am a teacher and my kids are 4 and 5, they wanted me to take it easy through the weekend to see if we could get things to calm down. Everything is still looking great. There are 9-10 eggs on the left side that are almost ready and 4-5 on the right. The doctor is still surprised at how well I responded to the meds. I still have a ton of eggs that are growing so we will see if they make it. The doctors want the size of the eggs to be between 17 and 18 and right now I am averaging around 14-15. So we are almost there. They are very pleased with the results so far and we are going back tomorrow for another ultrasound and blood work. I think that we should just move to St. Louis for the next week! They will evaluate everything tomorrow and then decide if we are ready for retrieval or we will back Monday morning for more ultrasounds and blood work. I'm definitely keeping off my feet all weekend and having Jared wait on me HA HA! I think that excitement is setting in for both of us and we can't wait to see how things develop.
More to come tomorrow.........
