Other big news is that we are moving to Meridian, MS at the end of February. We need prayers for that leap of faith, also! It is by no surprise that God has blessed us more than we could imagine. The sequence of events leading up to the egg retrieval, tomorrow, have been nothing short of a miracle! The timing of finding out that the Air Force has released us from active duty, to calling the fertility clinic to see if we could change this cycle to IVF, to finding out my uterus is clean with no fibroids or polyps, to having responded wonderfully to the hormone injections...AMAZING!!! God is so good.
Olivia knows a little bit more than a 4 yr old should know. She has accompanied me to every appt I've had in Davis for the past year. She reads books while I have the ultrasounds and has made some good friends in the secretary, Anna, and the nurses, especially Su.
So, today, Olivia told her gymnastics class all about my "surgery" and how the doctors will put together the egg and sperm and put the embryos in my tummy and then i'll have a baby. Her teacher stopped her when she started using hand motions. Stephanie thought that the other kids might have more questions than she could handle. :-)
My next procedure will be Saturday or Monday. At that time, I get to RELAX for 2 days! I'm extremely excited about that. I'm so pumped about watching some good TV and funny DVDs.
Thank you for all the support and prayers! I will keep you posted. Pray for happy, healthy eggs and sperm and then beautiful embryos!!!
Here is my little fertility doctor with her friend, Anna.

I'm so glad that the stars aligned for you guys. God is definitely looking out for you. We had so much fun with Olivia yesterday. I heard her telling Lauren that her mommy was having surgery because her follicles were ready. :) She's such a doll!
