I will be laying on my couch, with 2 embryos inside of me! This may be the longest week ever!
Thankfully, we will have some distractions! My brother is coming into town tomorrow, and we are going to camp this weekend at the lake! I can't wait for this! This summer we got really into camping, and went quite a few times. We get a spot right on the lake where we can just swim and sit around all day! :) Nothing better!
I have to start my PIO (progesterone) injections on Saturday night, though. Since we will be at the campground, there is really no where for Chad to give me the injections in private (they go in the derrière!) Luckily, I have the best friends in the world! My gracious friend Jessica offered to give me the shot in the campground bathroom. haha! I guess that's when you know you have a true friend, when they'll give you a shot in the butt while camping.
I also get to downgrade to 2 estrogen patches tomorrow!!! I am very excited about this! Although, my body has lately gotten much more used to them, but still, they are not the most fun things to have stuck all over your abdomen.
My brother is staying until Tuesday, then our transfer is on Thursday! Then it's a couple of days of bedrest for me! But, since we always have to have SOME reason for a party, we have decided to have a "bedrest party"! :) We will have 2 of our friends over (bedrest parties are not for large groups...) we will have a cooler with drinks, takeout, and a huge mattress in the living room. We are going to watch movies and spend time together, and no one can get up unless it's to use the restroom! Of course, in any other circumstance, this would simply be called a "Lazy Party"...but why see the glass as half empty? :)
So.....6 years down, 1 week to go!

Erin, I am so excited for you! I will be praying for you as often as I think of you for the next week! I truly hope it goes well and that your embryo's grow into healthy babies! Again, I just want to express how much you will be in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteI'll be about two weeks behind you. :) Praying for you. <3
ReplyDeleteI just found you blog through my own research about embryo adoption :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your story, and I wish you the best of luck!
I LOVE the Bedrest Party idea!!!! Have a great camping trip!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!!!
I am so excited for you! I hope the week goes quickly for you and that you have a wonderful experience with your transfer. I was so excited and happy that I enjoyed every minute! Have fun camping and good luck with the PIO shots (ouch!). The follow up bedrest can cause your back to ache A LOT, so try wedging pillows under your knees and behind one side of your back (and then the other). I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteErin many prayers for you this week. Thank you for sharing your journey. It feels like you and I have been on CS together forever and have been surpassed by countless other BFPs, but I know that soon we will both be holding our babies.
ReplyDeleteI love your upbeat spirit and attitude. Your posts always make me smile. :) I love the idea of having a party! Many prayers and blessing to you and your DH.
Praying that all goes smoothly!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Just a few days to go now! PARTY ON BABE!
