Baby Making!

So here we are, Transfer Day!! We got up this morning and headed south. It was a pretty quiet ride down. Chris has been sick with what we think is the flu - perfect timing - and then we hit North Salt Lake. Our nerves got to us. A fight broke out of something stupid and the tears came out. All in all - we worked it out, but we were both scared. Chris was scared it wouldn't work and I was stressed with the responsibility my body has. Can I make this embryo attach and this little baby grow?? I sure hope so. I have asked alot in my prayers to God, but please let this one happen. Please!

After some breathing exercises we walked in and headed to the doc's office. They took us right back, I did the routine, get undressed from the waist down sit there, you know the drill. We waited for about 5 minutes when Dr Gercheff came in. I was excited! She was the very first Dr was saw. She gave us the pic below of the embryo to take home and I started to cry! Cried hard. That is our baby! She told us we had text book embryos and she suggested we implant just one. Doing one also qualified us for a study they are doing comparing fresh to frozen being implanted, so they are paying to freeze the embryos at their costs! Yahoo! We just saved $1000! After we talked about this, she left the room to give us a minute, I turned and looked at Chris and he was crying. How Sweet! I don't know who is more excited! Me or him!! So we did the transfer. It took about 10 minutes. We got to watch on a monitor the most of the process. I got the "shoe horn" in me and she cleaned my uterius, the embroylogist came in with the embyro and in it went. They also put some of the solution the embyro was hanging out in so it had something familiar. Did I mention they had me take some valum, yummy stuff! I was totally relaxed. After the transfer was done, I got to kick back and sleep for about 30 minutes. I get the best naps at that place!
Here is our embryo! This is the one they implanted. The big part is what will become the baby and the circle around it will become the placenta. I keep finding myself holding my belly and saying, please attach and stay in there. We headed in the car and headed home, let me tell you, that valum was amazing!! Love it! We drove home and I had to do the classic "Phoebie" from friends. Stay in their little embyro!

Chris took the pic and I layed down and slept for two hours!! Good sleep is amazing. I am grounded to the couch and bed. I have a lot of projects planned on the computer and lots of books and movies I am going to read this week. I am kind of excited to kick back and relax. I haven't don't it since..........Jamaica, no if I only had some virgin pina coladas and a warm sunshine. We will go back in 12 days to have a blood test to see if we are prego. Keep the prayers going! We are know they are out there!! I feel selfish for asking, but I want to be selfish thru this!! Thank you everyone!
