Two Embies on Board!

The transfer went smoothly and I now have two of our little embies on board.

Shortly after arriving at the U of I we were taken back to the procedure room and waited for our meeting with the embryologist.  While waiting the nurse told us we could play some music if we wanted. So, Steve was going through their CD selection and along with Classical Relaxation and John Mellencamp (strange?) Steve found Norah Jones- how perfect...her song 'Come Away with Me' was our first dance at our wedding. 

We met with the embryologist and she showed us pictures of our three little embies and told us which two she suggested for transfer.  All three were graded as perfect! Two were 8 cells and one was 10 cells.  She said the two 8 cell embryos would be the best choice and that she would continue to grow the 10 cell until day 6 and if it is still viable it will be frozen for future use. Here are the two that are relaxing in my baby palace right now.

Embie #1

Embie #2

And here is our 10 cell embie that is still growing away at the U of I

Embie #3

The most amazing part was watching our embryos being transferred.  Dr. Duran was explaining everything that would happen and the nurse was pointing things out on the screen and told me we would see a flash of white when the embryos were put in.  We were all staring at the screen so intently and the ultrasound tech let out a cheer when the flash of white showed up on the screen.  I have now seen my embryos inside me and there is nothing like it.  The joy I felt can't be described. 

Now we wait...and the waiting is the hardest part.  My pregnancy test is scheduled for February 11th and I am hoping this will be the best Valentines present Steve and I could ever ask for.
