TRANSFER SUCCESS! - 2 blastocysts, lucky socks & a beautiful temple

The embryo transfer was a total success!!! I was so shocked and emotional. Tried to not blubber like a baby, lol. Such a wonderful surprise that they BOTH thawed well and reached the blastocyst stage (when the embryos start hatching out of their shells - making them more ready to attach!). I was seriously not sure how things were going to go today. I was more nervous than normal, it is our LAST chance after all. We have never had a blastocyst before, let alone two. So grateful for this huge surprise blessing! We tried to meet Ammon, the embryologist who saved these two embryos at our last transfer, but he was working. We are so thankful to him for being prompted to give these two little babes a chance. We wouldn't be here today if it weren't for him ❤ 

The fertility center had some "lucky socks" waiting for me today! So, between those, my awesome shirt lol, and the good news that the embryos thawed and transferred well...we're hoping that means we'll have a positive pregnancy test on Nov 2nd! I absolutely love Dr. C. She is so sweet, fun, and encouraging. She walked us through the whole transfer process again and showed us everything on the screen as it was happening. We really, really appreciate her and all the fertility center staff ❤ I thought their sperm and egg pumpkin was hilarious! We also appreciated that she gave us the ok to remove our masks for the procedure. I almost passed out in the bathroom at Bass Pro once, my body definitely doesn't like the lack of oxygen that masks cause. And they give Blake horrible migraines. 

We decided to stop by the Mt. Timpanogos temple before going to the fertility center for the transfer. It is such a beautiful building! We walked around and took some pictures of the beautiful grounds. I felt such peace and comfort there. It was windy and chilly ha ha, but so pretty. Before leaving we said a prayer together that we would be comforted and at peace no matter the outcome of today.

We are praying and hoping like crazy that these babies stay put!!! Please keep us in your prayers. We are relaxing at the hotel for a couple of days and then will head back to our beautiful babies, who we miss terribly already 😭

If the pictures blurry on your phone, just click on them 😀

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
