As you may know, my negative test result was heartbreaking for me. I didn't have a hard time getting pregnant with either K or S so I haven't been in this boat before. Rather than beating myself up about something that was out of my control, I took things one day at a time. I knew I was with an amazing agency and a spectacular couple, so things couldn't go anywhere but up.
My doctor called me in the beginning of September and asked if October 11th sounded like a good day for a transfer. Of course it was! Any day was good for me! I anxiously waited for emails with my medication protocol and schedule for flights and hotels in Southern California. After all was set, we waited patiently for the day we were able to fly down and get prepped for the transfer.
Our flight was easy, even with our 1.5 year old little one. She's flown before, so an hour flight was a piece of cake. We landed, got our rental car, and headed for my appointment. I couldn't take the smile off my face. I was happpy to be back in the warm, inviting office. I was excited for the next day to see my intended parents and have the transfer. After the apppointment, we spent the rest of the day relaxing at the hotel, enjoying a trip to the mall and taking little miss to the beach. We ended our night at P.F. Changs, then came back to the hotel for a good nights rest since the following day was a big one.
Waking up and getting dressed for the transfer felt so normal. I don't know what it was, but it didn't really HIT me until we got there- I'm going to be pregnant again and I get to hand over that little bundle of cuteness (or two little bundles of cuteness) over to an amazing family. My eyes water just thinking of the moment they get to hold their baby.
After we arrived, the nurse prepped me into a beautiful blue open backed gown that I'm sure some of you may have had the pleasure to wear. After my meds kicked in, I just waited for my intended parents to arrive so we can get the show on the road.
When they walked in, it was like the room lit up. They were as excited to see us as we were to see them. We caught up for a couple of minutes before the doctor came in and got ready for the procedure. He came in with a couple of pictures of the embryos we were placing. Two boys and a girl! It's amazing how 3 little bubbles can turn into a baby after 40 weeks of care. Looking at the picture and knowing the potential these little ones have put an even bigger smile on my face.
It was time! I'm not going to get into the juicy details of how an embryo transfer works, but pretty much think of a Pap smear and you're there! The proceure went great! The doctor told us to look for the bright light. Once we saw it, everyone gasped. So bright, so perfect. This time is THE time. I've had so many amazing MJ mommas keeping us in their thoughts and prayers and I know my IP's have some great prayer warriors on their side as well. Together, with positive thoughts and God's will, we will be able to bing a baby (or two) into this world and into the arms of this amazing couple.
Now we play the waiting game for the test results. I'm hoping for a high beta number that continues to grow and grow along with the baby. Thank you all for your support. We are so thankful to have so many people praying for us.
