PUPO!


I am officially PUPO! (pregnant until proven otherwise) Today our doctor transferred TWO strong, growing embryos back to me. Praying that our two sweet, little embryos get nice and cozy and hang out for the next 9 months!

We transferred 2 stage 5 embryos. Stage 5 or blast stage means they made it to the last stage they could without being in my body. So technically, with a day 5 transfer I could take a pregnancy test in 10 days and it would most likely be accurate. But I am going to try my hardest to not test at home and wait until my blood test on October 1st. 

We are going to Nashville with the whole family next weekend, and that would be around 10-11 days past the transfer. I don't want to test before then or while I'm there, because if this didn't work, I don't want to bring down the whole mood of the trip. 

I am praying our sweet embryos stick and that God gives me the patience to wait until the blood test to find out. It is in His hands, He knows the outcome, and I trust in Him. 

Our sweet little embryos :)

T MINUS 6 DAYS!

You guys, this could be the last Friday for 9 months that I am not pregnant. SO. FREAKING. CRAZY. On Thursday, we are transferring TWO embryos back to me. Half of me, half of Dion, all of our hearts get to start growing in me. All they have to do is simply stick! Something that sounds so simple, and so minimal, but something that is so significant in this process.

I am so hopeful. I am so expectant on God to bring us our miracle(s). Guys, it has been a LONG 2 years. A long two years of doctors telling us we should just adopt or wait until we are older to deal with all this. A long two years of trying every stupid, silly thing in the book to get pregnant. We are so close. This could be it.

BUT, I have to remember that if it doesn't work, HE is still good. We have 11 embryos frozen, and we will be transferring 2. Which means if this doesn't work, we have more tries without doing all the shots and all that not so fun stuff. It is so hard to find the happy medium of being hopeful but also remembering we still could do this again, we are still young.

I'm trusting my Father with this whole process. It has been a wild one. So many ups and so many downs. So many twists and turns we didn't see coming. I know that God has His hand over every single thing that we have gone through and that's why I know that if this works it is because God wants our baby(s) to come into the world. But if it does not, God has greater plans for a later time.

SO EXCITED. These 6 days are just going to drag by for me. Keep us and our little ones in your prayers!
