My nurse called last night. I thought it would be an afternoon procedure, but it is a morning (probably because it is Sunday, and who wants to work that day?). I must empty my bladdder then get into the car to get to the doctors by 8:45 am for lab work. Then I go to the surgury area upstairs for 45 minutes of acupuncture. Then I drink my 16 oz of water, so my bladder is filled up*. At 10:30 am is the transfer which will be a few minutes. Then another 45 minutes of acupuncture and a few more laying down. We should be out of there by noon. Then onto the couch I go.

*I was looking on line and the angle of the uterus is way different if the bladder is full, so they can insert the catheter right. http://www.advancedfertility.com/embryotransfer.htm Look at the ultrasound pictures. Interesting.

I am trying to wear myself out a bit today, so it will be easier to bed rest.....no TV today...I will get plenty in over the next few days.

Bill and I both feeling excited and reserved, as we both want this to be the way to have our baby(ies) join us in this world. We know with this gift we will worry for the rest of our days to make sure that our embryo, fetus, baby, toddeler, preschooler, gramerschooler, preteen, adolescent, young adult, bride/groom, mother/father, president...will be safe, loved, happy and of course prosperous. Today, we say "I do" to this commitment.
