Traffic was a little crazier than we expected. We were about 15mins late- but oh well. I wasn't worried. We got into the building and into the fertility office and then we realized that we needed to go to another suite down the hall to register. While I was there, the woman who had called me yesterday called me again! I was like "i'm sorry, I know I was late- but I'm getting registered right now!" She was like "oh, okay. Bye" Weird!!
They called me back. I went back alone, signed consents, continued drinking water, took my motrin and then they gave me a valium - the loopy drug!! I got changed and ready. Anne came in and was dressed up in her gear :D I wanted to take a picture but I didn't want one of myself... so in fairness I didn't take any. I helped her figure out how to use skype so that we could do that with Jon. Dr G came in and showed me the picture of our embryo! It had survived the thaw and the picture was cool! It caught it in hatching stage- Dr. G said that was a good thing.
I was walked back to the room. I met the nurses, and 2 doctors (including Dr G). They got me set up on a table, put my legs in these weird things, they had an ultrasound going. Dr. G explained everything as it was going on. He said my lining looked great. The whole thing was maybe like 20mins? I don't know. I was a little out of it haha. After it was over, Dr. G made a joke to Jon (but he couldn't hear it- the microphone was a bit muffled). He told Jon it all went well, but if he wanted the doc to check- he could add a 2nd one" It was a total joke :) threatening twins! Jon totally didn't hear it and thought he said that the 1st didn't take so we would have to do a 2nd one. It was a little funny.
They had me slide over to another bed thing and they rolled me into another area. Last time they made me lay there for like 45 mins. This time it was NOT that long. They've changed it up a little I guess. 3 years apparently means big changes in the medical world ;) I went and got changed and then I met Anne and a nurse named Martin who wheeled me out to the car :) What service!! We headed home, grabbed some chicken minis at chick fil and got home.
It was so nice to see the kiddos! They were a bit confused all day as to why I was on the couch. They loved having grandma and grandpa here! I did feel a bit like a loser just sitting her laying on the couch while they took care of the kids. I know that's what I'm supposed to be doing, but still!!
I cannot express how thankful I am for Jon's parents. They literally took care of the kids ALL day today. I am so blessed to have them in my life. I can't thank them enough. They truly are so wonderful.
It was hard not having Jon here, but I was thankful to have him on skype. All of these things happen for a reason. I love him so very much. He is my rock. I love our little family. I am excited about all of this and... very nervous. I hope this all ends in good things! Keep us in prayers! Let the 2 week wait begin!!
