The transfer was yesterday, and no matter how you prepare yourself - the information they give you is so much to handle. When we got all dolled up (OR attire: scrubs, hairnets and all). They informed us that one of the babies did not survive the thaw. Although I had been through that scenario in my head, when it touched my heart as reality, it was tough. Praise be to God for that baby's brief life. Jesus is rejoicing to be with him or her right now.
The remaining two embryos were "put in" and yes, Ryan was there for the conception! They traveled home with us and Lord willing I will be pregnant in a few days. Ryan told me that he was feling overwhelmed with the thought of triplets, and if we got there and one had not survived, he thought he would have felt relieved, but instead he felt disappointment. It will be a blink of an eye for that child to see us in heaven, bu we are the ones that must wait on this futile world.
I can truly say that before the transfer, I was on a high, and after my body and mind were so tired. I was so thankful to come home to an empty house (dear, dear friends kept the kids overnight) and just crash. Praise be to God for such community!
Lord, I thanks you so much for this opportunity to join you in this adventure, friends who are amazing enough to come over, lay on hands and pray for us through it.
What an incredible day for you!! Full of emotions too! I pray that everything will go smoothly for you with everything. I have an offer for you that we can talk about later on when you are up for it. Might be helpful to you this summer when those little babies implant and you are feeling the effects of pregnancy! Talk to you soon!
