7:45 am drive to doctor to check hormone levels
8:15 am take Lupron injection, Follistim injection, Menopur injection, 1 doxicycline pill, 1 baby asprin, 1 prenatal vitamin
9am drive to St. Cloud for work
3pm arrive home exhausted: called to cancel personal trainer for the next two weeks.
Doctors orders say no more strenuous activity, but I am too tired anyways. I don't remember these medications making me so sleepy the last time. I was lucky to be able to take frequent naps all weekend while we were in Iowa. We got last minute permission to take A***** (our foster daughter) across state lines to visit mom and dad. It was such a nice weekend. We relaxed alot and ate lots of good food. A***** had so much fun with mom's stuffed penguins and petting dads stuffed carribou/moose. All the way home she asked, "where Roger?... where moose?". She is really starting to thrive with us.
Besides feeling tired all the time I have had minimal side effects. I have a few hot flashes, but not too many. By wednesday I will probably start to feel the ovaries expanding, but I like that because then I know it is working. We will ultrasound on thursday to check the folicle (contain eggs) growth progress. I feel like every day we are getting closer and closer to starting our new life as bio parents. Both Jason and I are totally at peace with what lies ahead. Next Tuesday is the tentative egg retrieval date and then embryos will be implanted 3-5 days later. Mom is coming up to help when I am on bedrest for the two days following embryo implantation. I am looking forward to knitting, writing, reading in bed for two days. I am just trying to find a bell that I can use to ring Jason. HE HE!

We got out the blanket you made Preston when he was born. Preston and I are praying for you. We pray that God would put a baby in Krystals tummy :)
