Getting ready for the transfer!!

I will go in for the transfer at 1:45. So this morning I am just doing the few things I can do before I get pregnant. I took a hot shower, possibly the last one I will have until the baby is born because I like to take colder showers until I feel the baby kick regularly and even then I don’t go too hot. I vacuumed the house yesterday (Fenway sheds A LOT!!). 
As a reminder, here are our frozen embryos. I don’t know who will be put back in me.
Baby E – Frozen from 8/2/07, from our first cycle This embryo is actually older then Max!

Baby G – Frozen 1/20/08

Baby H – Frozen 1/20/08

Baby I – Frozen 1/20/08

Baby J – Frozen 1/20/08 – If I were betting on who they would pick I would say this baby.  Though Baby I is also about what they like too. 

Okay here I am in a dress that I think will fit me through the pregnancy. It is quite roomy even though it fits me now. Cool how that works! However with Max I got HUGE so who knows. Sorry about the wet hair. I also couldn’t find the sewing measuring tape so I am using a contractor’s ruler. I am 30.25 inches around at my belly though. 

Okay there it is! I will get another photo (I think) of the baby that they transfer into me today. I will be on pelvic rest for the majority of the rest of the week. So any updates will be from my phone unless I decided to do differently. With Max I felt implantation so if I start feeling that regularly I may be up for doing more. Oh and we are doing just a single embryo transfer this time. With Max and Baby D we did 2 embryo transfer. Statistically I have about the same odds of success, though when your like me and don’t understand statistics, it is hard to think that way. Also there is a chance that one (or more, GULP!) embryos will not survive the thaw today. So today I may loose one of the 5 embryos I have become sooooooo attached to over the last years and whom I fought so hard to allow to come home with mommy. However I do have friends that have had a 100% thaw survival so I am hoping for that too!

Max knows a bit of what is happening and he really wants to be a “big brother” so I think he should be good. The worst part really will be getting him from the drop in center as he loves it there. However I have M&M’s and he loves those so hopefully that will make him gladly leave. Lets hope! Tony can’t come with me as he has to work.
