Miracle 2 blastocysts

Somehow our last embryo divided along and became a blastocyst - AB quality, but a day later than it should.  Another little embryo that could, despite its fragmentation, became an early blast.  Both slower than expected, but we're grateful to have 2 to transfer.

We named our first 5 embryos - Eany, Meany, Miny, Mo and Barak (barak means thunder in Hebrew, and the day  of ER was raining and thundering.  Very unusual in LA.)  We hoped the weather was a good sign. 

Miny and Mo were the 2 who made it

The morning of ET Take-2, we got the call.  It was foggy, foggy outside.  The fog lasted until we left for the RE's office that afternoon.

The RE and the anesthesiologist had to make special trips to the office for our ET.  I got suited up, knocked out, and hopefully knocked up.

I look lovely, I know...but the smile couldn't be any bigger

And thus began 3 days of bed rest and 2 weeks of praying.
