Our baby!

Here is our baby! Out of the 9 fertilized eggs, one was an excellent blastocyst, another words, embryo. I guess everything about this picture is perfect from what the doctors said so we are super hopeful that everything is going to happen.

Tom and I had to be there by 10:30 everything went very smoothly the staff at the U of I are unbelievable they are super nice and want the best for us. It makes everything we are going through that much easier. Tom had to get into a pair of scrubs and I got into my beautiful gown, not!

I very upset that I can't figure out how to rotate this picture, because where I have it saved on my computer it is upright but when I upload it to this blog it doesn't save it. I don't get it! Steph, help!!

But he looked so sexy in those scrubs, I was hoping we could take them home but no such luck. The procedure only took about 10 minutes once we were all set up. We got into the room and they had a CD player in the room with CD's to choose from because it was a quiet room and who doesn't like to listen to music when your feet are up in the air. One of the CD's was and IVF mix, we immediately put that in but I think we were both going to fall asleep so Tom switched it to a relaxation CD. The first song was a wedding song, it was quite funny. The nurses and doctor's came in and said ohh, it's a wedding song. We all laughed.

The doctor explained to us about all 9 fertilized eggs. Only 1 was excellent so they are not sure we will have any to freeze. I will find out today, if not, hopefully the excellent one they transferred will be the one! Again, they are very hopeful.

So I was under strict orders to go home and do nothing other then go to the bathroom, so that's exactly what I did. But first we had to stop for lunch, we chose Sonic! I was thirsty and as we were driving out of town we drove by a Sonic so we decided to stop and eat. I didn't have to get out of the car so it worked out great and it was so good!

We got home around 2:00 or so, Tom headed to bed and I relaxed and watched TV. I got all caught up on my shows and even watched a movie, Step Up 3. I know I'm a dork.

Mom decided the other day that she would make a pot roast and bring it up for us to eat since I wasn't allowed to cook or anything, so it was a great idea, or so it seemed. Mom and dad got here around 5:40 and mom came up through the front and headed down the steps to open the garage door so dad could bring the roaster up. Well, as mom was going down the steps, she didn't turn the light on, and she missed the bottom step and sprained, we think, her ankle. She kept yelling at me to stay there and don't get up. Come on, mom I'm not crippled! So I opened the garage door and dad didn't know what the heck was going on. Well, she was hurting. Tom woke up because he could hear us, but he wasn't in a sound sleep because I had to wake him up at 5 to give me my shot. I felt so bad but I had to do it.

Mom crawled up the steps and got up on the chair with some ice. Again, I can't get this picture rotated.

So instead of mom waiting on me, both dad and Tom were waiting on us, it was quite comical. Dinner was excellent and hopefully she didn't break anything. She's going to get it X-Rayed tomorrow.

Now the dreaded wait! I go for a blood test on Wednesday the 27th! The waiting is going to drive me nuts and they said not to take a pregnancy test because I'm still taking progesterone and this could alter a pregnancy test so I'll try and stay away. I just want to see that pregnant sign.
