Embryo transfer day finally arrived!

This morning I received the phone call from our fertility doctor saying that 5 of the eggs were looking excellent and of those 5, 3 were perfect for transfer.  She would make the decision at the time of transfer which 2 of those 3 would make the trip.  The doctor almost pleaded with me to only transfer 1 since they were looking so good but I told her that we accepted the risk and wanted to proceed with both of them.

After the phone call, I had to wait an hour until our carrier's appointment to hear how everything went down.  The appointment was at 10:30 this morning and at about 10:45 I received this picture via text from our carrier........it was quite a moment.  

OUR FIRST BABY PICTURE!!!

I called her after she got back to her hotel to find out how everything went and she said that they were in and out of there in about 20 minutes.  I knew that it was a quick process but it still seemed too fast for such a delicate procedure.  She said that everything went well and that she was laying down in her hotel bed watching a Walking Dead marathon.  She's now on bed rest for 24 hours to help these little zygotes along in their efforts to grab on tightly to her uterus.

Now we just wait two weeks for her to take the blood pregnancy test to confirm one way or the other if we will be expecting one or two little Porterfields.  It's going to be a LONG two weeks!!
