Retrieval!

I'll start from the beginning... Which is actually each hour of the night.. I was up thinking I had overslept.. panicked and anxious. But by about 4 am, I was up for good. I laid there until about 5 and then got up to take a long shower, shaved my legs and slowly got ready. I needed the extra time 'cus I was moving slowly anyway. :) By bestie Shanae came over at 6 am to take over the kids and get them on the bus. We left at 6:15 for ORM. I was upset because I had completely forgot yesterday to wash my comfy yoga pants, and the only other pants that are that comfy (and clean) didn't match anything else. Oh well, it's not like I was wearing the stuff during the important part of the day. :) We got there right on time at 7 am. They led me, Aaron and Mommy to the back of the office and through special secret doors to the operating area. I felt all special to finally see this area. They immediately took my weight (not so fond of that!) and stuck me in a hospital gown. The right arm try for the IV didn't work.. so they poked again on the left. I'm definitely not scared of needles by now, so no biggy. I talked to the anesthesiologist and we was super awesome and friendly. Answered all of my questions. Dr. Hesla was the operating dr. on rotation. Super nice to have the best of the best do his stuff. Here is a picture of me waiting.. can you tell I'm excited?

They had me pee all hooked to the water saline solution and then walked me into the big dark room with monitors. I laid on the table and they had me scoot around and position me, while they were doing that the anesthesiologist said you feeling anything yet? And suddenly I felt fuzzy, the nurse said lift your leg please like this, I did and then I remember nothing else... until I hear Aaron's voice saying "26 eggs!!" I'm laying again in the recovery room where I put on the hospital gown. And I start bawling.. 26 eggs! It takes me a bit to get my barings. Apparently it took me a long while to come around because I don't remember how long Aaron had to leave to give his donation just after I came to, and come back 20 minutes later. The nurse told them that some people take advantage of the crazy talking with no memory (Cus I was talking crazy funny) and so Aaron asked me "What is your deepest darkest secret?"( I swear I don't remember this) And I answered "I'm in love with Aaron Harward!" They laughed and told me about it later. I guess that's my worst secret :).
The nurse then came in to give me some water and more instructions. We did a run down of the meds I need to take, what I can and can't do (I can't really do anything) She then said what appointments they have set for me. Tomorrow they will call me and let me know how many of the 26 eggs got  fertilized.
So today we conceived our future children! I have the beginnings of my babies growing and it feels amazing!
I am super sore and can't move much. I'm keeping hydrated and peeing every hour but for the most part I'm stationary on the couch.
So more updates tomorrow!
