Day Thirty-one: Thursday, April 2, 2015

The last of normal, or rather, what has become normal.

The day prior to the reaping.

Today I feel like a 'young' child on Christmas Eve.  'Young' in both the literal term and in the term that defines the Young family.  We're like the Griswalds, but better! I am filled with high expectations to see the results of all my hard work at being good all ... month.  It is definitely a feeling that you want to wake up too.  Everything looking good and moving forward to the next morning with so much joy that this process is so close to being an entirely new journey.  The journey to this point has been long.  Four years if you are counting days.   I'm just so happy that I can finally move to our next adventure in being a grown-up.

Tomorrow, I will find out the numbers of eggs that will be retrieved from both ovaries.  We will then proceed down the ICSI path of IVF.  This is mean that Spencer will provide them a sample tomorrow morning.  All the eggs that are ready will be injected with a single sperm and then set aside to see if fertilization is successful.  Spencer, gets the easy part tomorrow morning, well men generally do get off easier when it comes to reproduction.  See what I did there.

Positive thoughts!  Thanks for being a part of our journey so far.  I will keep posting as the process continues.
