DRUMROLL PLEASE...........................

We went today for our ultrasound. The doctor took no time and he told us that we are having twins. I couldn't believe it. I knew we had a good chance at twins, but I had just been telling myself there was only one in there. Jeremy kept saying there was two. In fact we had a bet going when we went into the Dr. office today. Right now we are calling them Baby A and Baby B. We heard Baby A's heart beating. We could see Baby B's, but couldn't hear it. The doctor told us that he had a girl in there one time and he told her she had Baby A and Baby B and she called her mother to tell her she was having twins and the girl started crying and said that the doctor had already named them. LOL! And I thought I was ditsy. We go back on March 4 for another ultrasound and if everything still looks good they will release me to my regular doctor then. Our due date is October 15, but more than likely they will come about 4 weeks early. Thank you all for your prayers! I know that we wouldn't have these 2 blessings if it weren't for all the prayers. I'll keep you updated.

I know I know it's been a while.

Hey all, sorry it's been so long since an update. The past few weeks have been a little rough. We don't have regular Internet at home and now that I am unemployed I don't have access to the computer like I did before. Jeremy has wireless on his work computer, but I have to wait until he gets home and sometimes it's just too much sugar for a dime as my Pepaw would have said. Here's what's been going on.

Let's see we transferred two embryos on Monday Jan. 26. I did my week of bed rest, and about Friday night the OHSS (Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome) started to set in. By Saturday I was so bloated and breathing was work. Sunday I almost went to the ER. It was really bad, but I didn't want to pay that ER fee so I suffered through it. Monday I went to my doctor and they drained off a liter of fluid off my stomach. I had a few hours of relief and then by Tuesday it was all back. The doctor made me an appointment with a Radiologist at Baptist and Wednesday I had a drainage tube put in my side. My doctor acted like it wasn't going to be a big deal. IT WAS HORRIBLE! Because he doctor down played the whole thing Jeremy went to work and my wonder mother-in-law took me. It hurt so bad and I had the tube with a bag hanging all the way down to my ankle. I felt like the doctor had decided to fix my broken leg by breaking my arm. It was miserable. They drained another liter off of me Wednesday and I got about another liter throughout the week. Sunday, I thought I was starting to turn the corner when all of a sudden my side started killing me. OMG! It was bad. I tried to drain some more fluid Sunday night and that just about did me in. The pain was so bad. I went Monday and told the doctor they were taking that tube out no matter what. He okayed it and I went to Baptist where the radiologist finally pulled the tube out and it was immediate relief. I kept telling them I couldn't hardly walk because of the pain and they kept telling me that the tube shouldn't be causing it. Well it was. If anyone ever has to have a drainage tube put in and you start having really bad sharp pains demand they take it out. There is probably a block and that's why it's hurting you. It's sad when you have to tell the medical doctor how to do their job.

All the signs are pointing to good news, but we are still waiting. They say if you get OHSS after your embryo transfer then it usually means your pregnant. We have an ultrasound next week so we'll know for sure then. I think the OHSS is starting to go down. I still have a hole in my side that I'm having to keep covered b/c it's leaking, but the pain is gone. I'm just tired now so I think I'm going to take a nap. I'll update everyone next week.
