I don't know how long it will last...

but for now, I am pregnant with triplets!

I woke up this morning feeling better, so thank you all for your prayers. I am still pretty uncomfortable, but the fluid had decreased enough that I could at least walk into the hospital without anyone really noticing! The doctor said, "Let's just hope that you don't get hyperstimulated like last time!" I told him that I had been pretty uncomfortable, but that it was better today and I would let him know if it got worse. So that is not a total lie! ;) Hey, you do what you got to do for your babies!
Rusty and I were both a nervous wreck this morning. We had to wait (what felt like) forever to hear the status of our embryos. We were convinced that he was going to come in and tell us that they had ceased to divide and that there would be no transfer. But instead, he had the best news possible. All 3 of our embryos had divided to 8 cells (which is exactly where they should be!) Last time, they had only made it to 4 and 6 cells at this point. The dr. seemed much more optimistic this time which was very encouraging!
Rusty was there with me as they wheeled me into the OR. He sat at the head of the bed and held my hand. The doctor got me all prepared and then the embryologist walked into the room with a syringe full of my babies! They used an ultrasound to guide and we watched on the screen as he placed them inside of me. It was no less emotional for me this time than it was the last. What a miracle. I can tell you that the images on that screen were not just cells to me, those are my babies. I will do everything in my power to nurture and grow them.
I am home now, in bed for the next 3 days. I can sit up slightly to eat and I can go to the bathroom, but other than that I am to lay as flat as possible. Thursday will be my first day off bedrest and I can tell you that a shower will be what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving!
