Shots, Egg Retrieval and Upcoming Transfer

So I have traveled to Peoria 5x's in 9 days and this IVF is taking a toll on our family. The boys are cranky, Dan is holding steady with only one "Jesus Christ" in front of the Eiss' but overall very kind and doting especially after egg retrieval. I am feeling sad because Jackson has been crying on and off today Sunday. He wasn't tired and we were together as a family all day today except for one 2 1/2 hour period when The Ljung's took the boys to the Scarecrow Festival for us. It was so kind of them to take them and the were only marginally naughty. Pushing each other, etc. However, the kids made a scarecrow together and it was cute how the Ljungs spent time with them. Dan and I were sure they were going to drop them off at our driveway and speed off like a bat out of hell but they did not! Annette has been wonderful and so has Colleen. Colleen had the kids sleep over on Friday night and took Jackson to and from his soccer game. They were in great hands at the Kornas' and the kids had so much fun.
Here are the statistics from my egg retrieval. 22 Follicles, 19 eggs removed but only 9 eggs were mature. I know, I was disappointed too! And out of the 9 eggs only 5 little guys fertilized. I just pray that they all look good and are healthy!!! Please St. Gerard, Pope John Paul II, Guardian Angels Michael and Rafael, Uncle Chuck, Bailey (Annette's dead dog), Dan's Dad and My Dad and Mary the Mother of God (she was pointing at me again in Church today)...please help us get pregnant with a healthy baby!!!! I am hurting today from the egg retrieval. Very crampy and in pain in the stomach area. And my progestrine shots in my butt muscle is killing me (luckily I get to do that for the next 2 weeks until the pg test and thereafter if I am pg)but it will all be worth it if we get our little one. On a final note, Jedi (our kitty) was found today sleeping in the baby crib. We have never seen him in there before. Thought it was funny like he was trying to tell me that he is my baby...guess I'll have to put a crib tent over the crib when little #3 comes home. Pray for us!!!!! Tuesday is the transfer!!!!
