Transfer Time!

Sorry I have not updated since our transfer day. We have been pretty busy since we got back with work and school. First I am going to talk about our flight there, only because it sucked. We had to be up at 4:30am to be at airport by 6am. It was cold and rainy of course. We flew from LaCrosse Airport to Minneapolis/St Paul. That flight was a little bumpy but not too bad. Our flight from MN to LAX was horrible! We were on one of the biggest plans known to man (not even kidding), one of the ones were there is three rows of three. Ugh. Never again do I want to ride a plane that big. There was a lot of turbulence in the beginning thanks to the weather. I am not just talking a little shaking here and there, I mean dropping a few feet at a time. Felt like I was on a roller coaster. I was trying to sleep, but every single time I would actually fall asleep, the plane would drop down. Worst. Thing. Ever.

On to better things. We got to our hotel around 1pm. Ate some lunch and took a nap. Then the moment we have been waiting for, meeting our IF and his mother! I was so nervous and excited to finally meet them. I was welcomed with a hug from each of them though, and that calmed my nerves. I wondered from the time we left the hotel room to the time we got down to the lobby to meet them if I should just hug them! We had dinner together and went our separate ways to get some rest before our transfer the next day!



Finally it is transfer day! I was told to drink a 1 liter bottle of water after I arrived at the clinic 45 minutes before "transfer time". Well I drank ALL of it like I was instructed, and let me tell you, my bladder is not meant to hold that much pee!! Finally Dr. Kolb, IF, and IF's Mother joined John and I in the transfer room. The Dr. looked at a few more things via ultrasound and got everything set up down there to put the little embies in. By this time I had to pee REALLY bad and I swear I am going to burst all over the Dr. LOL.
Finally the tech comes in with the embies and they are finally in! It literally took 5 seconds and they were in there. Two little white dots in my uterus.

I then have to wait 10 minutes before I can get up to go pee. But it is easier now that I can cross my legs and don't have extra pressure down there. When I do get to get up, I don't even worry about getting dressed. I literally get off the table with the blanket wrapped around me and find a bathroom! Overall we had a really great trip and I am so happy with how everything has turned out. I find out on Monday the 30th if I am pregnant or not! So please keep your fingers crossed for us!!!
