Greetings everyone - may I have your attention? I'd like to introduce you to our two embryos, E1 & E2!
So Tracy and I got a phone call from 'The Center' this morning at 0800 and were told to meet at the office at 0930 to transfer two embryos! Needless to say, we were excited and got everyone ready, including Brooke and Ashley, for the trip to the doctor's office.
Upon arrival, the kiddos sat in the lobby and watched "That's So Raven" while Tracy and I proceeded to a room with one of their nurses. Dr. Robins came in a short time later with a smile on his face and said, "We have two very nice embryos to implant in you this morning!"
He went on to say that considering the stage of the embryos, we have a 50% chance for each attaching, and frankly...I think that is great odds. We never really see much emotion out of the good doctor, but he was in a great mood so I feel good about that. :)
The procedure itself took 15-20 minutes where they load the embryos in a pipet of sorts and guided them into Tracy's fluffy uterus. This is where we hope they both make a home for the next 9 months, but we still have a long waiting game to see if they attach. The picture above shows the two they implanted, but understand it is magnified a fair amount since both are barely visible to the naked eye. Frankly, all science aside, this is clearly the work of God because chance alone cannot take something so small and fragile and create a wonderful human being.
So during this time, please continue with your prayers that we can grow our family by one or two and Tracy can endure a large baby(s) which my family tends to produce. We will continue to give updates as we can, but the next big step isn't for another eight days where they will conduct some blood tests to see if she is indeed pregnant...so let's stop here for now!
Thanks to all of you for your support! Please comment or leave any questions on the blog if you get the chance!
