Transfer

In a few minutes, I'll be heading into the city with CP for my transfer.

I ate a light breakfast and drank some water as per the instructions from the clinic.  I'm supposed to come into the clinic with a full bladder because it makes it easier for the doctor to see the uterus on the ultrasound- hopefully I'm not in too much pain during the procedure!

I've got my lucky socks on today!  Cristy from Searching for Our Silver Lining does a sock swap every once in a while for those of us lucky ladies that spend far too much time in stirrups.  I was paired with Teresa from Where the *Bleep* Is Our Stork.   I not only love them because I am Irish and currently missing the awesome South Side parade, but because they just scream luck with the four leaf clovers!  She also included my absolute favorite kind of gloves/mittens!  Thanks Teresa!!

Holy crap do my legs need to see some sunlight.  I hope I didn't blind you!!


Once CP and I discuss with the embryologist our (hopefully) three strong embryos and sign off on the number to transfer (hopefully just one!), I get to enjoy life on Valium.  I guess it is so that I am nice and relaxed for what I have been told is a relatively easy procedure.

I'll rest for a few minutes at the clinic before heading home and then I'm on bed rest for the rest of Saturday and Sunday.

And here we go!!

I had no clue you were Irish! How awesome! My DH picked them out to be 100% honest! I was gonna go for the ones covered in "LUCK". He said to go with something different. He was pleased to hear that you liked them!
I am wishing you lots of baby dust! FX for you!!! Hugs!
