Day 5

Last night was quite long. I took that cough syrup with hydrocodone and I couldn't sleep at all. Usually that stuff makes me pass out but I felt like I was outside of my body. Between that and my nerves, I hardly slept at all. I woke up early this morning, got all ready, ate a good breakfast, and did a little bit of work to get my mind off today. I was really calm all morning and we headed to the lab. My mom met us there and we were showed back to our room. I put my cute little gown on and waited for the embryologist to come in. The nurse had me take a valium even though I didn't think I needed it. I really had been so calm all day. I held it together until the embryologist gave me a picture of my little embryos! I got all teary eyed. He said that the bigger embryo is B/B and the smaller one is A/C. I was a little worried that the weren't A's but both the doctor and embryologist said they were beautiful embryos. Dr. Barnett said most of the pregnancies they get are from B/C embryos so mine were outstanding. He said if they were bad, he would tell us not to get our hopes up, but we were looking great.
So, they came in and rolled me back. It is really cold back there, apparently embryos don't like the heat or the light. So on top of being cold, I was so shaky! They put this camera on the embryos that showed up in the room and instantly, everybody was like, "wow, those look great!" From the time they took the picture (about 30 minutes), to then, the A/C embryo went to an A/B! How crazy! Well, 5 minutes later, it was done! No pain, not even from the stitch they had to put in. Dr. said he thought we would have a harder time but it went great. He said he can't make any promises, but all the controllable factors were perfect. He said he is really pleased with everything. I am so happy I can hardly contain myself!
I am still worried about my cough because when I cough, everything contracts down there. I feel great. I've felt a few uterine contractions, but really light and quick, nothing painful at all. Bedrest will be pretty annoying the next couple days, but I'd do anything for those little babes in there.
