Yes I wore Heels To My Egg Retrieval!

This morning was our Egg Retrieval!

I woke up super early 

and straightened my hair 

put on my favorite black top paired with some 

pearls and my new favorite black heels :) 

Feeling pretty always puts me in a better mood 

and I wanted to be in the best mood possible today! 

We arrived a little early to finish up some paperwork 

and pay for the anesthesiologist 

We waited for about thirty minutes before being called back.

It was crazy to walk through the back of the office 

and into a whole new world! We were taken to recovery 

where I changed into my gown and got hooked up to 

my IV and blood pressure cuff.

Shortly after the anesthesiologist came in to go

over a few things and off we went into the retrieval room!

It was a little creepy at first, a dim lit room with lots 

of silver shinny stuff and a gyno bed with huge 

black holsters for your thighs! 

two nurses talked to me while 

the anesthesiologist got me all hooked up 

a few minutes later the dr came in 

and asked one of the nurses to come with him, 

I waited for what seemed like an hour 

with my legs strapped to the bed and 

the annoying oxygen tubes in my nose.

When they finally came back she reassured me 

that the hold up had nothing to do with me 

and that we would get started soon!! 

The embryologist rolled in the giant machine 

and verified that my dishes matched my name and number. 

once everything was verified the 

anesthesiologist said it was time for the sleepy drugs, 

a little nose tingle and then I remember nothing. 

I woke up what seemed like 5 minutes later in the recovery room. 

I just felt sore, and groggy. 

I didn't even say anything crazy! 

The girl that came out before I went back was 

talking about buffalo chicken dip and make up???

I think that scared me into silence! 

Dr. G came in about 10 minutes later to 

let me know he retrieved 8 eggs and that 

my breathing started to diminish and the 

anesthesiologist made them stop where they were 

to wake me up. He never got to the left ovary.

I'm okay with that though I would rather be 

breathing than have a few more eggs!

We were the last surgery of the day 

and had the whole recovery room to our selves 

we were waiting for the embryologist 

to let us know that the ICSI had been completed 

and that we could leave, In the mean time 

our nurse came back and told us Dr. G's 

wife and one of my favorite nurses wanted to serve us lunch!

They had Honey Baked Ham delivered 

and brought us back sandwiches, potato salad, fruit and cookies!

Once we got the all clear I headed with my mom 

to my parents house and Scott headed into work

I took a much need long nap and 

lounged around for most of the day!

My pain is pretty much gone at this point 

and I'm just anxious to hear tomorrows report!!!

Here are so more pics from today!! 

 Here are a couple photos from my egg shoot with my mom

how weird is it that she just so happened to 

hard boil 8 eggs yesterday!!! WEIRD!!

hahah just a little photo shoot humor :)

If your into drinking games, take a shot every time 

I said anesthesiologist :) 

Until tomorrow! 

XOXO
