Transfer Day!!!

Today is the day!!  Andy posted a funny facebook status yesterday that I had to share.  "Well, tomorrow at 11:15am Jennifer is getting pregnant with twins!  It will be the first time it happens while I have my shoes and hat on"  lol  He took the week off work to help take care of me and help with the kids.  We went to the market to buy organic snacks for the hotel and then headed to the fertility doctor's office for my appointment.  When we got there the girl from the agency was already there and we just waited in a little waiting room for them to come get me.  It was in the same building as the office but up one floor.  It looked like it was a hospital and people were walking around wearing scrubs.  After a few mins they took the three of us back towards a little room.  The nurse confirmed they were putting two embryos in and told me to undress from the waist down and gave me a little paper blanket and said they would be back. The room was very dimly lit and a relaxation cd was playing with sounds of the ocean.   The girl from the agency and doctor came in when I was laying down ready.  She stood behind my head and Andy sat in a chair next to me.  The doctor went over my restrictions and we waited for the nurse.  As soon as he was done with his speech she there was a knock on the door.  The nurse came in holding a giant suringe with a long skinny tube.  I couldn't see how she was holding it because the ultrasound machine was in the way but she walked briskly yet cautiously to the doctor.  He did a quick internal ultrasound.  Then he put the long tube in, which I couldn't feel at all.  Then he did another internal ultrasound and we could see the tube on the screen exactly were he said was the thick part of my lining.  Crazy that he got it right there before he saw it on the ultrasound.  He explained that we were going to see two white spots on the screen in a minute.  Those spot were two air bubbles they had before and after the embryos.  They do that so they know they pushed them out of the tube.  After he paused the doctor smiled and said, "They are in your hands now."   He had me lay on the table for half an hour and said we could leave after.  That was it.  After the time passed we said goodbye to the girl from the agency and headed to the hotel. 

When we got to the hotel we were happily surprised the agency booked us a suite!  Woo hoo!  It was a super nice room.  We ordered room service right away and then happily took a nap.  When I woke up later that night I totally felt some activity going on in my uterus.  It was mild cramping.  Hope it is implantation cramping...  Sticky thoughts!!!
