Today is the day!

I am scheduled for the er at 12:30 and I am super excited to transfer 1 little embryo.  It is amazing me that this is happening, think about it, the embryos already have everything planned, like gender, hair color, eye color, etc.   Even though IVF is hard emotionally and financially, it is still pretty cool.  Still a little nervous about the full bladdar situation but mostly excited.  And if you think that I am excited you should see my mom - she might pop!  She has dh calling to see if she is allowed in for the er (which we are fine with, I would love to have her there).  So there might be a party in there!  Hang in there embies!  Good luck bunnies!  Keep hopping to those BFPs.
