Five little snowflakes are flying to Texas today!

I just got a call from the lab director in Virginia. He said our five donor embryos are aboard a FedEx plane today and will arrive in San Antonio tomorrow morning. I seriously cannot believe this is happening, I could just cry out of joy! I am anxious that they make it here safe and sound, but I'm trying not to think about it too much since there's nothing I can do. The lab director assured me that they've never had anything go wrong in transit and they can last for up to a week in the way they are packed. I'll be holding my breath until I hear they are here safe, I can't help it lol.

I also found out from the head nurse at our clinic that the information I got last week was wrong. I actually can start BCPs for our FET when I get my period (likely this week) and still pay for the cycle in January 2013 which is what we want to do. This means I don't have to wait until January's period to start the process and our transfer will actually occur in January instead of Februrary. I guess I'm now a part of January Polar Bears group and I need to re-intro myself over in IF. Just wanted to share the good news and could use all the fingers and toes crossed for safe transit for my snowflakes! :)

I'm so excited for you!! How awesome that you are able to start the process and not have to wait any longer!

**I just re-read the part about your snowflakes arriving in SAT tomorrow and almost started crying! Ok, take that back, I am crying. I'm not superstitious, but it sounds like your mom is sending you a special delivery.

Thank you, ladies! I'm doing a serious happy dance at work.

And DP, it just dawned on me! Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of my Mom's death! I think it's definitely a sign that shes "pulling some strings in heaven" something that she promised she would do for us right before she died. I will always remember December 18th for more reasons than one now. :)
