The Waiting is the Hardest Part

On Friday we had our retrieval at the Fertility clinic (which is why I was not at work and hence, no blog post). It went very smooth and was a lot quicker than last time and more successful. In 2006 we had 8 eggs, this time we have 10. On the weekend we got more good news; 9 of them fertilized and we are currently scheduled for a day 5 transfer which puts us at Wednesday for the big day.

Of course, we had all weekend at home alone to think and wait and just drive ourselves crazy with worst case scenarios. And even though everything is going smoothly this time there is still no better than 50-60% chance it works anyways. So we wait.

Since Kim was right out of sorts after the retrieval, we stayed home and relaxed. Watched some movies, did some work. On Saturday I took a quick trip to Greenbush to wish my mom a happy birthday and give her a present, and on Sunday I finished a bit of drywalling in the basement which was a big deal for me since I had never worked with drywall before.

I'm back to a normal schedule this week except Wednesday, so regular posting will resume.
