Try your best

After resting for two and a half days from my last IVF retrieval, I am officially sick of being in bed again. I've been able to move a round a few times for very short time periods but my recovery this time around continues to be slower. At least this my cramping has reduced some today. Still, to finish off the day with two shots in the butt with a sore abdomen does not make me a happy women. Already the hormones are starting to mess with my body tempature & mood swings. All evening today I was racking my mind with what activities I could while lying flat in bed after my transfer this week. Other than crotheting more blankets & watching tv (which I'm sick of at this point), I'm drawing a blank. Still if it works & I find out I'm pregnant after Christmas, then it will all be worth it. I guess I shouldn't say that. Whatever the results are, this will all be worth it because I can say we've tried our best.

In the meantime, I love how affectionate my son has been to me. I miss being with him & can't imagine what he thinks is happening. We're making it very clear to him that we're doing all this to try & give him a baby brother or sister to share his life with. My son is being so wonderful which makes this easier on me while his grandparents watch over him during this trying time. We are so fortunate to have the family we do.
