I received a call at 6:30 this morning letting me know that we were going to do our transfer! We drove to Charleston and the transfer took place at about 11:30.
All 7 embabies were still growing, but there was a group of 4 that looked really good. They transferred the best two out of that group. One was an 8 cell Grade 1, the other was an 8 cell Grade 2 (Grading is 1-4, with 1 being the best). We talked about transferring 3, but it only increases my chances of pregnancy by 2%....and increases the chances of triplets by 15%. So really there would be no benefit in transferring 3 vs. 2. They will let the other five continue to grow until Friday. It is at that time they will know if any are healthy enough to freeze. Our doctor said that there is a 50% chance that we will have at least one to freeze, so we'll see.
I'm on bedrest for 48 hours and will then have to limit my activity for the rest of the two week wait. We are going to drive back home tomorrow so that I can celebrate Turkey Day on my own couch!
We decided to name our embabies in honor of Turkey Day. Giblet and Shweet T are floating around in my uterus right now. Gobble, Hambone, Greenbean, Cornbread, and Cranberry are chilling at the lab hoping that they can be frozen on Friday. I hope that the embryologist feeds them a nice Thanksgiving dinner.
Today, I am thankful for all of your prayers and for all of our embabies. We hope that we will receive the best Christmas gift ever this year. I've posted some pictures of our transfer today. I hope everyone has a Happy Turkey Day!
Our 7 little miracle embabies...I think Giblet and Shweet T are the 2 less fragmented ones on the middle row (first 2 from the left).

Make yourselves at home Giblet and Shweet T. Try to rest and relax Jessica, if you can. I know, it is very exciting. I'm excited too. I know Andy will be taking good care of you.
You look beautiful in your picture! I love their names! We love y'all and are praying you two get the best gift of all this year. Remember, YOU GOT THIS! XOXOXOXO
Yay! Hope Giblet and Shweet T are getting cozy in there! I'll be praying still. Enjoy your rest. Go Tigers! :) Sorry...couldn't resist. However, I am a little scared about the game. It would be such the Clemson thing to do to lose right when things are going so well. *sigh*
Like Katie said to me, you're already GLOWING!
Twins...Sweet!!! :)
Love,
Your #1 fan

I laughed so hard reading those names...only you and Andy!! And I also agree, it's a great pic of y'all! I'll definitely be thinking about y'all tomorrow, get your rest! :)
I was listening to my Christmas playlist on my IPOD this morning (yes, I already am, whatever...) and came across these lyrics in the song 'Breath of Heaven' and it made me think of you....
"But I offer all I am, for the mercy of Your plan...Help me be strong...."
LOVE Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll feed you, Andy and the twins Thanksgiving dinner! See Andy aroud 4! Love you!
