 it's my big day too contributing factor i have one thing to do one thing better do it right it's today on this day it's all about me i'm just kidding that's her uh her egg retrieval day today so uh this is heartland they got a new location way better this is in tuxedo business park in winnipeg and it's on the south side of winnipeg which is way more convenient for us coming from steinback this is where all our money goes this is where all of the debt comes from yes she just did the calculations we're at 22,700 and some right for this round so far so far that's not the end that's not the end at all there's at least another two thousand dollar uh transfer fee plus the genetic testing plus the infusions that i got last time infusions yeah well oh and the progesterone and oil do the butt shocks oh and yes butt needles yeah so we still have a few thousand to go so we might hit 30 000 on this journey we might well hopefully it's all worth it and we get more than one that'd be great but even if we get done we have to go at home yeah we're hoping for another couple we're happy we're fulfilled we have our family now but it'd be nice to make it bigger doing our best doing everything we can this is the last time uh we're going through this yeah i'm never doing this again i'm tired i handled it well this time i didn't have too many hormonal freak outside not at all no there were a couple days where i was a little extra but i've been slightly more tired other than that no nerves no nothing you walk into it the second time you're just like hey yeah been here done that let's get it done give me my needles i gotta get out of here i want to get home to my kid yeah so thio's at home uh with homa as usual right now and she's watched them over here because after this she's got to get a little bit drugged up for the procedure the doctor's gonna sedate her pretty well it's pretty happy about that it's a good time i get to party it's a vacation for me today's my vacation day okay yeah it's a vacation let's go get your eggs pulled out of you nice vacation these are the lengths i have to go to to get a day off okay so we're half an hour early we're just waiting here in the car we don't want to go and plunge up the inside there i haven't been inside this location yet on the last egg transfer or the whole IVF procedure last time i was at every single ultrasound i was also around a lot more and uh this time the situation's just a little different you know we have a new house uh bigger bills and i have to keep working so i'm gonna have to eat he needs to eat he loves eating he likes diapers too he likes to go through those diapers so i've had to keep working through all of this but i gotta be here for i have to i have to be here for this one uh but i also gotta be here for the next 24 hours i have to watch her make sure that she recovers uh well nothing goes wrong or anything not that we're expecting it to but she'll be just fine yeah the last time it would have been really really nerve wracking i was already anxious enough and didn't know how to navigate the situation so last time if you hadn't been there i would have been really disappointed but this time don't get me wrong it would have been nice to have you there but i didn't need you there because i knew what to expect from the whole situation needed money more yeah yeah yes we want to pay this off as soon as possible yeah so we work work working and then hopefully in a couple of months we'll be able to uh announce that there's another baby on the way hopefully hopefully we'll see so i looked up just about ready this arm didn't work out so well um so like the audience has got her lucky socks on but uh he's in the lucky light hair too can't see it so we're just waiting for them to be ready right and they're gonna bring us into the room mm-hmm we're going to happen they're number one we're the first ones today they got lots of retrievals today so they'll be fresh ready for us nervous no i'm ready to party all right and i'm ready for for McDonald's you want your drugs they demand a high salt diet yeah seven to ten days after when we're back in the vehicle getting ready to go home brit is feeling really good you could see it hit her i was in the room uh with her when they're uh putting it into her ivy all the stuff to settle her down and take the pain away and you could just see it just pure relaxation settle over her face yeah we forgot some paperwork though we had to come back for it we had already gone to mcdonald's because she's supposed to be on a salty diet so they one time that a doctor is going to tell you to go get mcdonald's they're not serving lunch yet i don't want their breakfast yeah that's very disappointing we showed up there since when does mcdonald's not serve burgers in the morning right always did even burger king i would go at like 7 a.m and they'd still have whoppers yeah i thought that you know you could only get breakfast in the morning not in the afternoon but you can get burgers anytime we can't get burgers in the morning anymore at this mcdonald's rude so we'll get it in steinback we don't want to give winnipeg our business it's a crisis rude oh well we should go support our local mcdonald's anyway they'll give us burgers the winnipeg ones yeah they don't they don't give you burgers in the morning when did that happen has it always been though i was telling her i should probably be proud that i don't know the mcdonald's dinner and meal schedule that well because i don't eat there that often this is a step up for us yeah it's good okay i'm gonna get her home and get some mcdonald's we'll find some we'll find some burgers somewhere we'll get you a burger and fries yeah and extra pickles she can have all of mine i i tell them no pickles in my burgers she wants extra pickles all the time you're a demon what like in pickles i'm a demon you're evil opposites attract what do you think about another skin puppy chevy this one's quite a bit already diesel what do you think i could use if you want gray hair if you i guess so we're back home and the woman of the hour is all recovered how do you feel now it's four days later that's four days later so we had how many eggs you want to tell him we had six eggs five were mature five got fertilized three made it the first 24 hours and then i had an update yesterday that said all three are still dividing and growing so that's a really good sign so let's hope Monday or Tuesday today sunday let's hope Monday or Tuesday we get the good word that they all made it to freeze so it could be three hopefully night two no day three no day two was rough overnight i gained two and a half pounds in fluid and i was extremely bloated and uncomfortable that can get dangerous but thankfully the following night i lost two and a half pounds overnight again it all absorbed so yeah i'm feeling good now day four day four i think so it's day five have a monday right the retrieval was on a wednesday Wednesday Thursday Friday it's four we're wrapping this up on sunday yeah i wasn't feeling so hot a couple days ago so it wasn't a good time to wrap it up yeah the next day was more painful than the first round for her she was in quite a bit of pain so i stayed home for wednesday and thursday and then we went out on a trip which you'll see tomorrow's video on friday and saturday now it's sunday already we're in the future and she's putting this together yeah i felt really bad about that i asked him he had a trip all lined up and i asked him to stay home an extra day because i just bending over and picking up the oak i mean he's he's at least 24 pounds he might be pushing 25 pounds by now he's a he's a big boy so it's it's a lot to pick him up right now you shouldn't feel bad about that i'm happy to stay home i don't like asking for help on one of those but i will if i have to like i had really bad sciatica the week before worst i'd ever had and finally i caved one morning and called his mom and asked her to come over and help me with the dogs and the oak because i could barely walk eventually i cave and just live it stubborn in the meantime like i bought it yeah i was just gonna say i wonder where you get that from he's watching right now hello hi daddy but i'm feeling good feeling really good and hoping that all three all three of the embryos make it we would then have the possibility of five children if all the transfers took yeah if they turned out as good as the first one or the first transfer is theo yeah so next step is in a couple months we're gonna hopefully transfer uh the last embryo from theos batch so theos twin so to speak yeah when is that gonna happen you figure april or may i think we'll see if i need some tests first hopefully it goes as smoothly as uh when theo is theo went absolutely perfect everything except well the pregnancy towards the end you had preeclampsia uh and six weeks into the pregnancy i had a really bad bleed we thought i was miscarrying that's for hospital it scared us but it happened to just be a blood clot so i was okay and baby was okay so i just took it easy after that and the morning sickness sucked but i was like textbook by 13 weeks normal morning sickness but you do what you gotta do i didn't mind look what i got out of the deal well he's sleeping you can't look right now yeah not just a truck driver more to me than just driving a truck so this is our uh like i've been telling you through this video or second time through this thanks for hanging out with us and being there with us through this journey it's it's really exciting to see what the modern medicine and doctors can do it's amazing very thankful so i'll see you guys tomorrow i'm back in the truck tomorrow i'll see you then
