11 hours to go...

Why is it, when you are told that you can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight, you want to stay up and drink as much as you can, until the clock hits 12:01am??

Everyone has been talking about girl scout cookies. I haven't seen one girl scout anywhere and I guess they don't go door-to-door anymore. I then found out that my husband has a co-worker, whose daughter is a girl scout! I asked Alex why on earth he hadn't ordered cookies...he gave some lame excuse like, "I was busy working and didn't think about it." WHAT!??

He came home this evening with 3 boxes of these...
He knows how to keep his woman happy. **Thanks for the hook-up, Jared & Jen** Tagalongs are my favorite!

Well, retrieval is in 11 hours! I think I'm going to go to bed, soon....but first, I'm thirsty...I think I need a drink. :)

Love you guys,
Jill

Stick it in your eyeball!

I was up and ready to go to the doctor's office, a little after 7am, this morning. Ugh. I'm so not a morning person. I had to make it an early appointment though, because me and my sis are catering this week. Today was the last day and we had so much fun working together. We were asked for business cards, this week, so I'm hoping we'll be working/cooking together on a more regular basis! Anywho, back to the doctor's visit. I have 10 follicles!! This is more than my last IVF, so I'm very pleased. Everyone keeps telling me, those shots in the rear must have worked. ha! I was the laughing stock of the doctor's office, this morning. I told me doctor, "I was giving myself IM injections, instead of subQ." He responded, "I heard." *with a big grin on his face* My nurse called today to give me a hard time. Conversation went a little something like this...

Me: "This is Jill"

Nurse L: "Hey, Jill...I was just calling to give you your lab results and to check and see where Alex was giving you the shots today." *laughing into the phone*

Me: "We decided to try my upper thigh...think that's a good place?"

Nurse L: "I was thinking directly in your eyeball...that should yield good results."

Me: *laughing hysterically*

Nurse L: "I'm requesting to be your & Alex's retrieval nurse...I want to give Alex the option of doing the retrieval himself, since he's a doctor and all."

Me: *laughing hysterically*

I love my doctor's office. Luckily, I can laugh at myself and love that they've had such a good time with this one. :)

My E2 levels were up...they doubled, since my last b/w. All of the follicles were pretty much the same size, none that were way bigger or way smaller. Dr. B said that was good. I'm going to stim for two more days and then go in on Saturday for another U/S and bloodwork. Retrieval could be as soon as Monday!

Just wanted to give everyone an update and I hope you're all having a fabulous week!

Love to all,
Jill
