Last night was AMAZING!

We arrived at Fertility Partnership around 10:30 last night.  We were surprisingly calm.  Upon arrival, Aaron came out from the lab to show us pictures of our perfect little embryos and to give us the grades. Our first baby was graded at an A- and our second baby was a B+.  Aaron was extremely optimistic and said he felt very good about the egg quality.  He then explained that 8 of our other embryos were frozen and that they were all A-, B+, or B quality.  GREAT NEWS.  There are still 4 embryos he is working to freeze.  We will find out about them in the next day or two.

I put on my hospital gown and relaxed in bed as I watched a little How I Met Your Mother.  Doc's plane landed safely and he made it on time.  From there, everything went very quickly.  I was moved to the procedure room.  Doctor Simckes came in and chatted a bit.  Aaron brought in the embryos and they were placed gently into the perfect spot in my uterus.

So, they stood me up, let me go to the bathroom (because the procedure has to be done with a full bladder) and then I got dressed.  Before we left, Nikki handed me an envelope with the lab orders for my pregnancy test (no home pregnancy tests allowed because the medications can cause a false positive).  Dr. Simckes gave us our first ultrasound picture.

He placed a heart over the spot where the two little embryos were resting!
As we took the elevator downstairs, my husband and I just stared at each other with astonishment and excitement.  Nothing went wrong.  Everything was perfect.  We still have healthy embryos left to grow our family later. 

I am on bed rest for the next two days.  I plan to do absolutely nothing.  My overly organized self has already cooked meals for the entire week.  For now, I'm cuddled up on the couch wathing "A Baby Story" on TLC. 

As always, your continued prayers are appreciated.
