This morning we transferred two 3-day 8-celled embryos! We have dubbed them Milo & Otis for the time being. The transfer went great, and it was wonderful to have my Brandon there with me, since he was unable to go to either of my previous two transfers. Heather and her Brandon (we need nicknames for our Brandons) were there as well, though positioned well away from all the action! The embryos looked beautiful, and I have high hopes for Milo & Otis.
The best part for me by far was finally getting to meet Heather & Brandon. I've known Heather online for years, from SMO and then on Facebook, and meeting in person was exactly how I expected it to be. I wasn't nervous, it wasn't weird... I felt like we've been friends forever! Sometimes you just 'know' when something is right, and this is one of those times. I knew before that this was the right decision, but getting to meet Heather and Brandon finally just really solidified everything for me. I'm so excited that we're doing this!
So after the transfer, Brandon drove me home, which was fun laying in the backseat for 3 hours. I've been on the couch ever since. Brandon had to go take care of something at work, so my friend Robin hung out with me for a while. She brought mini-cupcakes and we devoured them while watching old episodes of Friends. Not a bad Saturday afternoon. Now I'm just waiting for Brandon to come home so we can watch Eastbound and Down and have dinner later...much later... like after I digest 83 mini-cupcakes.
So, fingers crossed, baby dust & happy thoughts! Heather brought me 10 pregnancy tests, and I'm going to try to wait until Thursday evening before taking one. Try being the key word there.
