a little more for wednesday

1. had an ultrasound today. everything looks good and we will do the retrieval on friday. i'm still exhausted and i'm experiencing some uncomfortable cramps do to enlarged ovaries. i have spent most of the day on the couch sleeping and reading while jace and jacob have played and reaked havoc on my house. but, i did finish my book (no.2 in the great and terrible series) and it was pretty good.

2. gatorade. jared loves it, i don't. for the next few days i am supposed to be drinking as much gatorade as possible. i guess now that my ovaries are enlarged they suck all the electrolytes out of me and gatorade is the best way to replenish it. it will help prevent dehydration and getting sick.

3. jace got to meet president monson last friday evening. of course the first thing he did was pull his shorts up and show off his massive cut. he then proceeded to tell him what happened and how he had to go to the doctor to get stitches. he did eventually shake his hand and that night without prompting he said "thank you that i could shake the prophet's hand today" in his prayers.

4. i just realized today that if everything works out and we do get pregnant then i will probably be exhausted for the next, i don't know, eighteen months. it's a good thing babies are so sweet and pure and perfect when they get here. it makes it all worth it.

5. everything is so green in utah right now and i'm loving it. it really is beautiful here.
