Tomorrow's the Day!

Well it is hard to believe that we are actually at this point! The past ten days have been CRAZY! 27 shots, 6 rounds of bloodwork, 5 ultra-sounds, three trips to San Antonio, and three nights in a hotel! The past ten days have been very humbling...we have both had tears, JOY, experienced tremendous LOVE and battled fears and anxiety. Through it all, we have really felt God's presence by the overwhelming sense of peace through every step. We are also in awe of how many people have reached out to us to let us know how much they love us and how much they are praying. God is GOOD! Whatever the result of this entire process, I know that God has been present, working, and is being glorified through this struggle. Blessed be the Name of the LORD!

Tomorrow is a BIG day for us! We go in at 11:00 for our retrieval at 11:30. I will be put to sleep, which I have to say is actually going to be kinda nice! I can't say I'm going to miss the feeling of super-large ovaries! It is kinda crazy to think that our little babies will be "created" tomorrow afternoon. This whole process is a little surreal! We are so thankful for the technology that has allowed the doctors to even be able to do in-vitro. We definitely feel that this process is a blessing! How many people get to know exactly the minute that their children are formed??? It is also very comforting to know that God will be controlling the next few days...everything will literally be out of our hands. We are praying very specifically for fertilization to occur tomorrow and for our embryos the next three days to develop and grow the way they are suppose to. We are praying for healthy eggs that will make healthy embryos that will be implanted to form healthy babies! We know that God is in control and we will be in prayer constantly until we hold those sweet babies...and then from that point on!

I will try and update the blog tomorrow and let you know how the retrieval goes. It will probably not be until later in the evening. Please keep us in your prayers tomorrow for a smooth retrieval and fertlization!

Dinner tonight w/my LOVE! So thankful God gave me you!

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing to the GLORY that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectations for the CHILDREN of God to be revealed." Romans 8:18-19
