The Beginning is Here

Hi Everyone,

Well, Colleen survived the dreaded Egg Retrieval process and will live to tell the story.

Currently she is resting comfortably, telling me to get this, and do that. I'm glad I didn't give her a bell... You all know how demanding she can be :). Of course none of this is true - beside the resting part.

Today has already been a crazy day. We were at the doctor's office at 10a for Colleen to prep for her 11:15a procedure, but the wait seemed like forever. Luckily she had a posh massage chair to sit in and relax. She looked so cute in her hospital gown (see pics below). The time finally came and I had to go sit out in the waiting room and... wait.

But it wasn't long until the nurse called me back to see Colleen. She was just beginning to recover from the anesthesia, but had the presence of mind to show me on her fingers how many eggs the doctor had retrieved. 3 ... 5, that makes eight right? No ... 35! (Yee-haw!)

We will find out tomorrow how many of the eggs fertilize and Colleen will let you all know the news. Thanks for all of the messages and prayers we have received they have definitely helped us out.

We love you all,

Relieved Micah
