Well the water is boiling! Got my wish!

This morning went in for bloodwork and ultrasound. Call from the doctor at around 4:30 p.m. to tell me we are moving forward full steam ahead!
My estrogen level went up to 1,980 and progesterone to .96 which means it is time for the trigger shot.  As she told me at this morning's appointment she would like to wait one more day.  But, after receiving these numbers she does not want to chance it for me ovulating through again.  Neither do I!
So, tonight, we will do the normal three shots at 6:30 p.m., then my friend Missy will give me the trigger shot at precisely 11 p.m. tonight as prescribed.  This is the big honking needle at the top of my butt/lower back that tells my body to drop the eggs into the follicle.
Thank you, Nicole and Missy!

In between, I will be meeting up with Travis at our friend Janine and TJ's house to introduce Ben to their home.  He has been there before but it was over a year ago.  They have graciously agreed to watch Ben for us! They have three children and another dog so Ben will have lots of love!  One less thing for me to think about while in Miami.

I am supposed to be calm and stay as relaxed as possible. No stress.  That has not happened yet. I have a million things swirling through my head. What I need to get done for work before I leave, things to pack, things to remember, and trying not to be scared that I will ovulate again. Because IB Profin is a blood thinner, I am not allowed to take anymore.  So, I'm worried I will have another sleepless night. I woke up at 2 a.m. in near tears with the pain. I don't know why it is hurting this badly!  It's the last thing I need right now.

So, trigger shot tonight, work regular day tomorrow, leave for Miami tomorrow night, egg retrieval scheduled for 9 a.m. on Thursday. On bed rest till Friday morning.  Drive home Friday.  Go back on Sunday for the embryo transfer! That's the exciting part! They put a live embryo in my uterine lining. On bed rest until Monday. Come back Monday afternoon. Go back to work on Tuesday.

I am going to try and surround myself with relaxing things. No stress. Trusting in God and having his peace in this time. I know he reserved it for me and I need to walk in it.

Thankful for my dad and Maria to let me stay at their house in Miami. Thankful for all the prayers and love from everyone!  More to come!
