And the final wait begins

Yesterday was the big day.  I arrived to the Doctor's office a little excited, nervous, scared, but most of all ready.  As you can see, I dressed for the occasion :)  My shirt says, "Let's make babies"


They took me back and before we got started, they gave me my first pictures, of what could become my baby or babies.





The top left is a 4 cell Grade B-, which is a little slow for a day 3, but anything is possible.  The bottom right is a 6 cell Grade B, which is right on track for a day 3.  And the middle is what is called a Morula, they are rapidly dividing cells, which for day 3 is pretty fast.  It could possibly burn out, before it is able to attach to the Uterine wall.  Once again, anything is possible.  Just seeing these, made my heart beat a little faster.  It's so exciting to think, these could be the first pictures of my baby or babies ;)

I'm trying to stay positive and only think good thoughts, but the realist side of me, rears her ugly head, and plays devil's advocate.  I'm just praying for good news. I know, I've done everything I can.  I've fought almost this whole year, to get to this point.  There have been many tears shed, and each one of them have been worth it, no matter the outcome.  It's taught me so much more about myself, my family and my friends.  It's also taught me, that if you truly want something, you will move mountains to make it happen.  I'm hoping that it takes this first try, because I haven't made a plan B.  I could always attempt again, but that will take a lot of soul searching, and maybe winning a small lottery jackpot. :)  I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.  Thank you all, for taking this journey with me.  Hopefully soon, you all get tired of the grossly cute baby pics.  :)
