Ever had those days when you feel like a pin cushion?

No? Well that clearly means you have never done in-vitro fertilization. We are currently doing in-vitro which is a 2 month process of endless shots, ultrasounds, and blood draws. Jeremy is now an expert on giving shots. He delights in threatening me with revenge during my shot times, but is actually very gentle and doesn't like causing me pain. We are on the home stretch right now. My 20 eggs will be harvested this Thursday and sometime next week 1 or 2 fertilized eggs will be put back in. We are really excited and will take any prayers that you wish to offer.

It is amazing how Heavenly Father works. I was laid off from my job on Feb. 18th and it was very shocking and I couldn't understand why this was in the plan for me. During in-vitro they want you relaxed and not stressed out. So it seemed like horrible timing. I have really enjoyed being at home and doing things with my friends who are stay-at-home moms. In-vitro takes up your whole life for 2 months and I have been so thankful that I have not had work to stress me out as well.
