I don't have a fancy title for today. I'm still feeling a little groggy from the Valium and my long afternoon nap.
The first thing I want to do is honor the memory of Mr. Cubby's genetic sibling. Yesterday the little guy survived the thaw but he faltered this morning and wasn't able to make it to the transfer. We miss him very much and are very sad that we will not meet him nine months from now. But we commend his soul to God's mercy and hope to meet him in heaven.
The good news is that we did have embryos transferred to us this morning at 10:50 am. Three of them. The doctor gave us the same "warning" about this transfer as he did Mr. Cubby's transfer. Triplets might be a possibility. Of course we would be thrilled with that outcome. Overwhelmed but thrilled. :) But we also don't think that it's highly likely - though with God all things are possible.
A little about our new babies. Two of them look very healthy and happy. We got pictures of them and you can see the smiles. They're so happy not to be frozen anymore.... because who really wants to be frozen. The third is struggling a bit but we are hoping and praying for him. (I'm using the masculine pronoun in the generic sense. We won't know their gender until our 20 week ultrasound). All of the embryos are at the morula stage, which means their cells are compacting to the point where they can no longer be counted. They're about a day/ day and a half out from becoming blasocysts. At that point they will implant, God willing.
We have a pregnancy test scheduled for Oct. 2 - Feast of the Guardian Angels. Go guardian angels. But we'll definitely won't wait to take a pregnancy test. Will probably start testing with HPTs in about a week. Doctors don't like you to do that but come on.
I'll post all the gory details about the actual transfer later. For now know that all is well and we are pregnant with three babies.
