| Thinking PINK! Although we would be happy, ecstatic, blessed, grateful, with a healthy baby or two no matter the sex! On our way! |
Yesterday went off without a hitch. Except for the fact that I woke up at 4 am to pee and then couldn't go back to sleep for the life of me because I was TOO EXCITED! I couldn't believe the day was finally here! I ended up getting out of bed at 4:30, made a cup of Tulsi Camomile tea and spent some time in The Word.
I'm in reading in 1 Samuel and I'm to the part where Saul went to meet Samuel so he could speak a prophetic word to him. When he arrived, Samuel said to Saul, I've been waiting for you! I have a word from the Lord. He went on and said that he was going to be king and rule over the Isrealites. Saul replied, who me? But I am the least in all of my tribe! He was anointed, filled with the Holy Spirit and went on to be a King! It was the perfect reading for this transfer day. I couldn't help but reflect on our last two embryo's. They were the weakest in the bunch, but God LOVES to use the weak to make them strong! It was so comforting and reassuring to read this and confirm that I can trust in him and his promises.
We ate a quick breakfast, took quick showers and I used coconut oil as lotion since it is all natural (my favorite anyway), nothing scented! My friend L came to help with the boys yesterday. This time we didn't tell ANYONE, besides her, that we were having our transfer. C is a little superstitious, since we didn't tell anyone with the boys and it worked then. When I walked out front I looked up and the sky was just gorgeous! I was like it was a sign that today was going to be perfect...

We arrived in Redondo Beach a little before 9am. I met my acupuncturist, D, in the lobby for the first time, she is very sweet and helpful. C went to go get a cup of coffee at a coffee shop while I had my acupuncture done and I realized I left my water bottle in the car I was supposed to drink! Acupuncture was okay. It wasn't that relaxing before transfer because I was SO anxious! I just wanted to know how my little embabies were doing. One of my fears was that one would not make the thaw. However, D brought an awesome meditation for me to listen to which helped a bit. While I was laying there I was envisioning God's hands holding our to blasts like usual. I was also envisioning angels surrounding me blowing trumpets, it was a beautiful thing! Then as I saw Gods hands, the were suddenly over my belly and I saw him open His hands and let them fall onto my stomach. It was amazing! It was like he was telling me they are going to be okay, these are the ones I am giving you! I pray this is right!
After acupuncture I drank three large glasses of water quickly and took my valium. They wheeled me into the transfer room, which is the same room I had my ER in too. Dr. A checked to see if my bladder was full enough, and it wasn't so I had to drink another large glass of water. I was a little relieved because my valium hadn't kicked in just yet. A few minutes later Kristine our embryologist from R & M's rescue ICSI cycle came in and I totally teared up! It was so good to see her! I showed her a picture of my boys and she said she always shows other couples who end up needing rescue ICSI a picture I gave her of my twins, who need hope! I thought that was beautiful! They are such miracles!
Kristine said "BOTH embryo's thawed beautifully!" Praise Jesus! C got to see them in the petri dish again prior to transfer, just like with the boys. I think that is so cool! I am SO thankful we transferred these two back to where it all began!

Transfer was perfect too! Dr. A is awesome, she really took her time and researched where Dr. R placed the twins in my Uterus, so she could put these two in the exact same spot! I do have scar tissue from having my septum removed AND from C-section so I am praying these two find the perfect cozy location.
After transfer I was wheeled back into recovery, where I had my second session of Acupuncture and I listened to another meditation. This time I was so relaxed I fell asleep!

After I woke up, I had to pee! She wheeled me in a wheel chair to the bathroom, then wheeled me out to meet C who was getting the truck. I had my legs up and was reclined for the drive home. Once home, I heated up lunch in the toaster oven, and laid in bed... and fell asleep until 4pm! I tried to get my boys to go to the park while I rested, but they insisted on taking a nap too! We all slept until 4!
1dp5dt- today I'm sticking to couch rest. I'm lounging, still in my pjs, drinking water, and trying to pass the time. I'm going to try real hard not to symptom spot OR POAS this cycle. We'll see because I can usually tell if its going to be a neg. Today I am a little crampy, just mild AF type. I'm shocked my bb's are NOT sore at all. Last July when I did PIO for the first time, my bb's were sore on transfer day! Every time is a little different apparently.
Beta day is on October 31! I'm going to be staying busy busy busy until then!
This was a long post so if you read it all... YOU ROCK! Please con't to pray for my little embabies! THANK YOU!!!! xoxo
