I just wanted to let you know that I am home from the hospital and healthy. Just resting this afternoon: doctor's orders. Everything went really well this morning. I now have two embryos at blasocyst stage in my uterus. So now it's up to those little embryos to hatch and attach . . . please pray that God grants this for us. : )
Susan Davies, our Reproductive Endocrinologist, gave us a picture of our ultrasound and circled our little embryos.
Nathan was in the procedure with me the whole time, in hospital scrubs, holding my hand. I am continually amazed at the miracle and the technology that makes it possible. Dr. Davies commented that the embryos went exactly where she wanted to see them, that my lining was thick and good and that the rest is just up to nature/God.
Nathan was also able to look at our other embryos under the microscope with the Embryologist. What an amazing gift to be able to look at these cells divide and become a placenta and fetus. It's so beyond my understanding that this is how life is created. We will find out tomorrow which of those embryos are viable to freeze for a later date.
This is the most challenging time of the cycle for me, which I know I have mentioned earlier. It is like oil and water to have these two polar emotions dance together for two weeks. Calmness is critical and I pray that this will be granted to us.
Thanks again for all of your unconditional and just raw love that you have shown to us. We are so grateful for each of your roles in our lives and hopefully in the lives of a little child or children to come.

Hey you two brave, honest souls -
I was so glad to see a post already today! I popped onto your blog just to follow up on the procedure/plan and was amazed to read a post so quickly after you came home today.
Congratulations that it all went well. You sound really good and I'm so glad to hear that the doctor thought everything looked so perfect. We will not fully breathe that sigh of relief just yet, but do revel in another grand step in the right direction. Good news.
We love you both!

Thanks Becca! Yes, we do feel much relief in getting a break from the appointments and procedures and look forward with more hope. I feel like if one or two of these embryos become babies, I will feel like the luckiest woman to have been so intimately involved in such a "unique" process.
Love you and can't wait to give both you and Ellis a hug on Saturday!
Brilliant News!
Can't wait for the next update, and as I said in my email, we're crossing our fingers and toes!
Keep up the courage and the faith and we will too!

I pray that you will be able to relax and rest in God's sustaining power. I pray that he blesses you with the one request you have so earnestly been seeking.
