Count your Blessings

Bright and early this morning we had to go to the doctor for our first ultrasound to see just how many eggs we had. My bloodwork came back great on Thursday, which meant I was taking to the meds great and they were doing their job. So we couldnt wait to get there and see just how many we had. As she began the ultrasound her voice raised a little as she told us everything was just perfect. She turned the screen so I could see just how perfect. There on the black and white screen was the work and pain and prayer that we have been through these past few weeks. Out loud she began counting, 1....2...3...4...5...6...7...8..9..10. Oh wait, ...11!

Yep in my right ovary was 11 eggs, and in my left there are 5. We have 16 eggs to work with! As she counted all I could think of was the old hymn "Count your blessings" As each little egg was counted I began singing to myself:

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
*Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
[*And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.]

We have been praising the Lord all morning for this wonderful news. 16 eggs, yes 16 eggs!!!! WOW God is soooo good. We are just steps closer to making this miracle happen. I have to go back again on Monday to see how they are growing and to make sure my body is accepting the medicine. Then on Wednesday Mom and I both go to make sure we are ready for the next step. I then go back on Saturday to take the eggs out and get them fertilized. The transfer is set for Thursday January 26th and God willing we will put eggs in both mom and myself. WOW its here, its time, this is it!!! Thank you all for you prayers and kind words, we are so greatful for all the support we have been given. Pelase continue to pray for us as we wrap up the final stages!!!!!

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.  Ephesians 1:3-6

And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his
season; there shall be showers of blessing. Ezekiel 34:26

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your
God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but
turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.   
Deuteronomy 11:26-28
