Who Needs a Sibling?!?

We all do!!!
Chasen is in need of someone to care for
and Kevin could really use a break from being Chasen's playmate
It does make for really cute pictures though!!

I had an ultrasound today to determine the size of the follicles and I had 6 that are in the race for ovulation!
One was 16 (we want them 14 o 20)and the other five were 12, 11, 10, 10 and 9.
So they sent me home told me not to take any more meds and to just "coast" (the follicles will keep growing without meds) until tomorrow morning when I will have another ultrasound. ugh!

What we want to happen is that the 16 gets bigger and the 12 and maybe the 11 go up to 14.
What we don't want is that I have 3 or more greater then 14. Because then they will cancel the cycle due to me having to many potential eggs that could get fertilized and turn into multiple babies.

It's such a delicately, time sensitive, precise ordeal!

I left the appointment feeling pretty upset because our IUI will be on Saturday morning (provided they don' cancel it) which means we don't get to go home to Nebraska this weekend.
And I was really looking forward to it because I was going to get to see both sides of my family and have a stress free good time!
Now I get to sit at home and think about all this stupid crap.
I told Ean I'm sick of paying all this money, and missing out on things like going home or scheduling any sort of vacation at all.

I know I complain about the cost allot and its not that we are going into debt but I look at the numbers and think about how bad Ean and I (well mostly me) wanted to go on a 2nd honeymoon for our 5 year anniversary.

Im still being (kinda) positive. I know once we get pregnant everything should be fine. My baby home (uterus) looks great its got the right thickness which I guess is why we are kinda nervous that it would be easier for me to get pregnant with twins or more. I just want to move on to IVF and be done with all this BS.


*on a side note giving my self those shots was the hardest thing ever, it took me over 20min to do the first one cause I was so chicken. The next few were a little easier.
I did have some side effects including, nausea, awful headaches and some emotional side effects and I bruise myself with each injection.
Ill be glad when they are over:)
