Alert and Lazy

I do think I was a bit out of it yesterday. The only program I actually watched was a 30 minute meals. I just couldn't stay focused on anything long enough. I took 3 fifteen minute cat naps. I feel fine. There is really no pain with or following with this procedure, except the flattening of my but if I lay in one place for a while while on bed rest. I made it through yesterday, and have all day today to get busy on my projects.

Yesterday, My mom stopped by with a Hyacinth bulb that will grow into the surrounding baby's breath flowers. Bill's mom and stepfather brought us dinner last night and joined us, so that really broke up the night, since I didn't just watch TV and veg. We have received so many calls and emails of support, we are so lucky. We are blessed and we know someone(s) else's who is/are too.
Today I slept in and have since resumed my place on the pull out couch in the living room. Lily doesn't understand why I am on this bed and Clark thinks it is a slice of heaven, as he can lay with me anytime.

There was no follow up blog entry yesterday as hoped, but here is the scoop on the embryo's. The Doctor, Dr. Guffstufson, the same one who did our retrieval, just so happen he was the man on duty both days we were in. So we still had 7 embryo's on day 5, we had 2 perfect ones (doctors exact words), another perfect one that was a little smaller, a good one, and the other 3 weren't ready for transfer yet yesterday, but would be ready today (the day after the procedure). He recommended we transfer 1 or 2 embryos. So of course, we used the 2 Perfect ones yesterday. The the other two we didn't' use yesterday were immediately frozen. Today, we will get a call as to the status of the other 3 embryo's. If they are ready, they will also be frozen today. The Day 5 embryos have 50 -100 cells, they stop counting them at this point.
During the procedure, they brought our two embryo's into the room in an incubator. There was a screen above it that showed them. I saw them! The one on the top of the screen was just a tad bigger then the other one, just below it.
The embryo's looked very much like the Day 3 - 8 cell I posted on Jan. 16 but I couldn't see any specific cells from across the room. It was very cool to see. Sorry, but for once the Moody's were without camera / video in hand so no live photo's.
I don't wasn't to get caught up statistics, because they are just numbers and not reality to me. But this will answer some or your questions. The say with transferring 2 embryo's there is a 65% of pregnancy. Of those pregnancies, 30-40% will result in twins. Bill and I will be ecstatic with one or two. We have good vibes and are following all the rules. Enough said...we are just patiently waiting.
