Our transfer was on Sunday, March 21st at 8:30 AM. It’s weird to think that our future babies, maybe… possibly… were put into their mommy at this time! It’s also scary as hell to think that maybe they weren’t.
We transferred two embryos: one was an “8-cell Grade 1” (aka. Pefect) and the other was a “6-cell Grade 2” (aka. Near perfect). The procedure itself was just slightly painful. I found out that I have a tilted, short uterus and as a result had to have an ultrasound-guided transfer. This means that I was required to go to the procedure with a full bladder then they had an external ultrasound working on my tummy as the RE was placing the embryos in my uterus. This was only semi-interesting to watch, as I could barely tell what they were looking at during the ultrasound.
After the transfer, I was required to go on bedrest for the day of and the day after. I was pretty antsy just laying there for two days; however, it meant that I got to spend Sunday afternoon with my mother and all day Monday, with my hubby!

I also got all kind of treats from friends and family! I got lots of yummy food from my MIL including my favorite... coffee cake! I now have a sparkling clean house thanks to my mom, and am the proud owner of some new leggings thanks to her as well (which is pretty much all that fits at the moment). 
I also got to stare at two dozen beautiful tulips all weekend thanks to my dear friend, Yessica! 
And got to play with my new coloring books and modeling clay and look at my adorable egg basket filled with little goodies from my good friends Mara and Kary (read the note in the basket- it's the best)!

I also got tons of calls, texts, and Facebook postings all weekend and am so grateful for those as well! I think it’s pretty obvious that this whole IVF thing was just one large master scheme to get free food, gifts, and cleaning services! I’m so smart!
So for now, we just wait to see if it worked…. Get comfy little embies!!!!
