Great News!

The embryologist just called....we have 5 perfect Grade 1 expanded blasts that were frozen! So we potentially have 2 frozen cycles in our future!

They are soooo cute!

Here are our 2 beautiful babies! Dominic is still hoping both are girls and we get them in our arms next spring. Luke loves talking to my tummy saying "Hi babies. This is your big brother, Luker. Stick and grow." With Grammy's help this morning, they made me breakfast in bed - what a treat!

Now, the wait begins again......

All Tucked In....

All 4 of us are safe at home. I say 4 of us because we transfered 2 beautiful blasts this afternoon. Everthing went as perfectly as it could. Now I enter the dreaded 2 week wait, and our little ones fate now rests in God's hands.

Set for a Day 5 Transfer!

We found out yesterday that the majority of our embryos are still going strong. The embryologist said that some of the slow starters from the day before had turned themselves around and were doing beautifully. So we are set for a Day 5 transfer which is Tuesday. We were told to think about how many embryos to transfer and we are confident and comfortable with transferring 2 really nice quality blasts.



I'm feeling much better today as well. I'm still bloated but not nearly as much - a marked improvement over the past couple of days. I have drank more Gatorade in the last 4 days than I have my life!

We are looking forward to bringing two of our little ones home tomorrow.

Embryo Report

All 21 embryos are still with us. However there are a few that are waning. Most are at a 4-celled stage - right where they should be. We do have some that are at a 5-cell as well. The embryologist said that she will look at them again in the morning. If 2-3 are standing above the rest, we might opt for a day 3 transfer. If there are 5 or more that are still doing really well, then we will push out to a day 5. Again, we are waiting. The IVF process sure tests my patience!

Look how our Sunflower has grown!

Here is the sunflower at the beginning of June.

And here it is just 3 weeks later!

It is starting to get a bloom - so we should have a big yellow flower on the stalk soon.

Dominic - our Gymnast!

Almost there Dominic - just a bit more!

Oops! You got stuck!

There - You got it! I wish my shoulders still moved like that!
