Transfer

We did our embryo transfer on December 12th for baby #2 (and maybe #3). Everything went perfectly and when our two embryos were thawed, they started expanding and growing just as they should. When they were initially frozen, both were 3BB. Just before transfer, they were a 5BB and 6BB and one was already hatched out of its shell. They both looked great and after the transfer, Chris and I stayed in the room for close to 30 minutes. Talking, staring at the picture of our embryos, the ultrasound screen that had an image of where the embryos were placed in my uterus and I cried. Tears of happiness, excitement and the unknown. Knowing that one of our embryos turned into Caleb just overwhelms my heart and I pray at least one of our embryos continues to grow in my belly and joins us in 9 months. 

After the transfer, we drove home and made it back before Caleb woke up for the day. My mother in law stayed at our house the night before our transfer so she could be here when we left at 4:30am. I spent the day laying on the couch and resting, trying my best to at least. I had mild cramping, but nothing intense. I'm 1 day past the transfer and today has been pretty uneventful as well. Not much cramping and still doing a lot of resting. Tomorrow I can resume light activity, nothing strenuous, but at least I can get out of the house.
