Just wanted to send out a quick update! Things have been going really well...just really boring...ha! I have mostly been resting and hanging out at home. We have watched several movies, (I have) read several books, and taken some really great naps! We are enjoying the time together just the two of us because our time just the two of us may be soon coming to a close! We have been very blessed by people checking in on us, bringing us some sweet dinner, and some beautiful flowers! Our hearts have been blessed!
We got some great news today from San Antonio! Two of our embryos made it to blastocyst level! This means that they developed enough to be frozen for us to use and transfer in the future! We are thrilled that we had two freeze because it means that we will not have to go through the whole stimulation/egg retrieval process next time. Transfering frozen embryos is much less invasive and expensive than what we had to do this time, with a lot less injections! God has blessed us with these two precious frozen embryos, as well as the two that we hope are implanting right now! We specifically prayed that God allow the right number of embryos to develop and freeze to create the children that He had planned for us. We believe that God has continued to answer prayer after prayer and we see these embryos as hope for the future that HE has in store for us! We are excited about the possibilities!
I am feeling pretty good overall...the only thing that I am having trouble with is my nightly progesterone shot! The shot itself has not been hurting at all, but the next day I am SO SORE I can hardly walk!!! It is NO FUN! But overall, I am trying to keep a good attitude because if a sore booty is what it takes for these babies to develop then I will just live with a sore booty! At this point, we will do WHATEVER is necessary to help these embryos develop and grow! God is good...He will take care of us through it all...shots included!
Thank you for continued prayers! I am the first to admit that WAITING has NEVER been my strong point! But God is faithful...he is providing comfort and peace during this time of wait and we know that He will grant the desires of our heart. Keep the prayers coming! We know that God is hearing them and we FEEL them!
"STRENGTH will RISE as we WAIT upon the Lord, WAIT upon the Lord, We will WAIT upon the Lord!"
