IVF UPDATE.....OUCH!!!

Well today is the day we have been dreading.....I start my shots today! I had my mom come over and show me how to do it. To my surprise it was not bad at all. I am feeling really good about things right now. I have been so emotional the last couple of days about the whole thing. But you know what you just have to have faith and know that things will turn out the way they are suppose to. So today has made me feel a lot better. You just grab some belly fat (good thing I have plenty of that) and stick the needle in fast and give yourself the shot. I Hardley even felt it. This is really good news! Thought I would give you a visual of what the needle looks like. Not so bad huh.

See all this worrying and wondering and all for nothing. I need to listen to my mom and Jon when they say "don't worry". The shot I am taking is Lupron not real sure what it does but there are not any side effects. The only thing that has bothered me is the Birth Control. You know how that is! I have gained a couple pounds which does not make me happy, especially when I am trying so hard with diet and exercise. But all well what do you do? So I will do this for 13 days and then we will start adding in other meds and the Progesterone injections. Lots of fun huh!

We are leaving for Disney Land tomorrow for six days and we are so excited. I feel like the IVF stuff has consumed my life....so I am excited to get away and focus on having some fun. The boys are dying and can hardly wait. Even little Jakie gets so excited even though he doesn't quite know what it is. Cade on the other hand has been counting down the days. The boys have been earning money for the past three months to take so they can buy some things. We broke open the piggy banks the other day and they each had $30. Not bad for a kid. Granny and Papa added $10 to that so now they each have $40 which is a ton of money to a little boy. Lets just hope it will buy more than one item.
Well thats about all ......
I just want to say thank you to everyone for your love and prayers, it means so much. Pray we have some good weather in California. I will have lots to blog when I get home. See Ya!
