Three little chances

Well yesterday Mark and I picked Madi up from daycare around noon, and headed for home to get ready for our fertility appt. On the way home, Mark and I were discussing the number of embryos we thought would survive the thawing process. Well as we were speaking, Mark said what if we have triplets...as he finished his sentence Madi let out a squeal in the back seat and as we turned and looked at her, she was smiling yet shaking her head back and forth as if to say "NO". It was perfect timing. As usual Madi was able to lighten up a situation.

Well as we headed up to Boise we were both pretty nervous wondering how many we would have. As we arrived at 2:30 for our 3:00 implant I grew more and more anxious. As I watched women after women get called back. I knew I had to be there 30 min prior for a medicine that relaxes you and a blood draw before the implant, as 3:10 rolled by I started to get more and more fearful that our eggs didn't survive and asked Mark to go ask if they are really behind or was there a problem. The receptionist just said, we are kinda behind but wouldn't say anything else. Just said Dr Slater wanted to speak with us. I was even more scared now at this point. Finally at around 3:30, our nurse called us back and as we went into the implant room I said, "Kim how many survived." She said she didn't know. I got set up and ready and we were sitting there talking anxiously awaiting doctor Slater to come in and talk to us. Well Dr Slater showed up and sat down next to me and said, you had 3 frozen embryos' and all three thawed out, 2 were in good condition and 1 in poor. She said that it has no effect on the baby's quality but it just shows they didn't thaw as well as others. She asked if we wanted all three implanted and we agreed. She said we have a 40% chance of this whole thing working. That made me anxious but it worked out fine last time so I just keep thinking that when I get nervous about this.

They implanted all three and we do a blood test on Wed and Friday the 31st. After our blood draw on the 31st they will tell us if we are pregnant. Please keep your fingers crossed for us and say a little prayer. We will of course keep everyone posted. We will not find out until after Mark deploys whether or not we are having more than one baby. If we end up with more than one baby Mark thinks he might be able to come home early. I sure hope so.

Well I am just sitting here on my bedrest. Watching TV, propped up in the recliner and typing. This is the life...well actually I am pretty bored. I am searching for airline tickets on expedia for Christmas in South Dakota. Surprised at how cheap they are right now, so I will probably buy them today. Well I will write more later.

Oh also Madi now stands up on her own from a sitting position and then will walk about 6 feet. She is so amazing!!!!!
