It's been 3 weeks and a day since the beginning of this journey, well no the journey really started 8 years ago, but the actual IVF process has been 3 weeks. The shots total up to 10 so far. I hate needles, but the amazing thing is that they haven't been bad. Thanks to so many people praying!! And I've had really no side affects except for a purple bruise from one of the needles hitting a capillary (I think that's what the nurse called it). It happened on Sunday and Eric was worried about it so I called the nurse on Monday. After I hung up I told her the nurse said he killed me. I thought it would be funny. Not funny. He's worried about me. I love him. :) But the nurse said it can happen and it's really not a big deal.
Friday we go to the doc to get more blood drawn to see if the injections have been doing what they're suppose to and then I start the 3 injections a day. My prayer is that God would cause the exact right amount of eggs to develop and be fertilized. Talk about having no control. I am smack dab in the middle of realizing really how little I do control. :) It can be a really amazing thing when I trust God and not in myself. It's like my soul can take a deep breath and relax. I've been going over faith with some of the girls I discple and it's been so good for me too - to remember God's character and to learn more about God's character which enables me to realize how trustworthy he is. He loves me, he's in control of everything, and he's good. Wow, what a God we serve.
It was so sweet my 8 year old niece this last weekend said, "You'll be a great mom." It really touched my heart. We'll see what God does!
