That’s two days past three day transfer for those of you lucky enough to not have to through fertility treatments. Two days, and I’m feeling good. Really good, in fact. Yesterday was rough. I was feeling pretty defeated, even though it’s *way* too early for that. But, then I prayed and I immediately felt overcome with peace and knew the God was telling me it’s going to work.
And, really, the uterus is like a deflated balloon and there’s not really room for the embies to float around. There are two reasons why they wouldn’t implant — a bad lining or a problem with the embryos. We already know my lining is perfect and just waiting for my little babies, and I really don’t think there’s anything wrong with my embies. Obviously, there’s no way to know for sure without doing testing on the embryos, but the fact that one was growing ahead of schedule and one was right on schedule makes me really confident in them. They’re smart, and I know they’re going to be just fine.
I am so in love with my little babies already. I talk to them often because, well, I like to think they can hear me. Joe talks to them too, and when he left for work this morning, he kissed my belly. It’s so freakin cute. I hope these babies know just how loved they are already.
Yesterday, my parents, my brother and his girlfriend came down, and we had a cookout. I felt like a lazy bum hanging out on the couch while Joe manned the grill and my mom did everything in the kitchen, but my parents want me relaxing and taking good care of their grandchildren. It was a lot of fun to see them, and they were just *so* excited about everything.
I had a little bit of a freakout after the transfer on Saturday. I started feeling crampy pains, which I eventually decided were gas/constipation pains. We called my doctor, and she said both are perfectly normal side effects from the progesterone shots and to only be concerned if I start having menstrual-type cramps. Thanks for that because afterward, I started freaking out that the pains were turning into menstrual cramps. In fact, I woke up at 5:30 Sunday morning crying hysterically because I was certain I was having those cramps.
But, today, the pain has almost completely gone away. I’m still having some sharp pains in my ovaries every now and then, which is pretty normal considering how swollen they are, but other than that I’m feeling great. I’m not even really nervous about the pregnancy test anymore. I’m just excited.
I think that’s what my blog needs: more words like uterus, embryos and menstrual cramps! 🙂 I’m excited too honey. Very excited.
We are excited for you, too!! Purrrrs and purrayers for you and the babies!! That is so neat that you talk to them!! Thanks for sharing with us!!
Your FL furiends,

We are *so* very excited for you guys, too!!! 🙂 I hope that everything will work just great and be fine. I’m sure that it will. I can’t imagine why there would be any problems. It’s great that you’re already talking to them. A very good thing.
I’m excited for you and Joe, and I hope everything continues to go really well! 🙂
Try not to worry about the cramps.. That was my first big pregnancy sign… awful cramps. Maybe the uterus’s way of saying, what the heck is going on in here? 🙂 good luck!!!!!
When can you do a pregnancy test? I’m so glad everything is going well!
I haven’t commented much, due to stinky dial-up not being available where I live, but, since I’m at my mom’s right now, I wanted to tell you that I’m super excited for you. Sending thoughts and prayers your way!
