Transfer....Day 16

It's the BIG DAY....the day that we were hoping to get to. I can't believe we made it. Derek and I have been through some crazy emotions the last few weeks but they all culminated today. We finally have the chance to become parents to OUR child. Not that we won't welcome a child into our home through adoption if that's what is in store for us, but at least we can say we tried! We woke up to quite a dreary day, both Derek and I had no idea that it was supposed to be cloudy.

Kind of a representation of our mood looking back. Dark, Scared, Gloomy on the Horizon.

BUT....we also got an amazing chance to meet a sweet little girl whom daughter she is to two very special people in our lives. Libby Ann Beagley came into this world more loved and excited about. I'm informed from an anonymous source that both parents cried when she entered this world! She was a little one only weighing 5.15. But hey, theres nothing wrong with being itty bitty!

After leaving the hospital my mind and stomach got the best of me and we went home and rested and napped until it was time for our appointment. Roberta called and asked if we could come earlier because poor Klaus (Embryologist) had food poisoning and was needing to get back to the hotel. So we were there with time to spare. We were so excited and nervous and scared.
We  didn't even talk the whole way there.

After we arrived, we found Dr. Tjaden, and he took us to the transfer room. The resident also came in for us which we appreciated so much. Then of course Roberta, Janet and Klaus all came in to identify us and it was go time. They even brought us our very first picture.

Our Little Embryo (Emby)

This is what's called a 7B. It has 7 cells and has a little bit of debris so it's rated a B (like in school). It's right where it should be on a Day 3 transfer though.

It was really neat, the resident was telling us that her sister went through IVF, only had 4 eggs, one fertilized and was transferred and they got pregnant. I have faith. I know that this will happen. Someday in the near future we will be able to call ourselves parents in the making.
Grow Emby Grow!

After the festivities we decided we couldn't just go home so we went to Menards. Yes Menards. We are gettting old, I know. We are updating all of our hardware in our house, it was the first day that I felt good enough to get out, and we had just had our embryo implanted. We had to celebrate somehow. Since we aren't eating out at any restaraunt on our dime the month of April, we couldn't celebrate in food. So why not housware.

We are so ready for the next 2 weeks to fly by. Roberta even said she'll start testing in  5 days, because even she wants to know. We could be more blessed to have such a wonderful support system.

Once we got home, Derek but some of the hardware on the doors, I got a wild hair to cook. Not just dinner but sweets! So my pinteresting has become out of control so I decided to take 2 recipes and make both of them.

First on the list was French Toast Bake

This was the end result. So Delicisous and Easy. 

Then it was on Reese's & Chocolate Chip Big Cookie

It even has a Pretzel Crust.

After both of these. It was time for bed. So off I went....into the arms of my hubby and super cudly puppy.
