Day 5

Praise God!!!!

The embryologist called this morning and reports that all the embryos are progressing today! They are still on track too. He does not know why they seem to stop yesterday, sometimes when checking them at different intervals the observations of the progress can be off. I know it is because God is taking care of things! One of the embryos is in the morula stage and the other two are early morulas. The morula stage of development is between 12-32 cells and is when the inner cell mass begins to develop. From here they will become blastocysts (should be by tomorrow) and will be transferred back to mommy!

The embryo transfer will be tomorrow at noon. We don't know how many we will transfer until tomorrow. Since one of the embryo's is poor quality, we are not sure if it will make it till tomorrow. The embryologist said that he keeps expecting it to drop off, but it is still hanging on! After the transfer, I will be on several days of bedrest per doctor's orders. This will probably be a challenge for me, but I don't want to do anything to prevent those babies from attaching in my uterus. I have lots of books, DVD's, and kntting projects to keep my busy.

Thank you all for your prayers...they are being heard and are working! Please continue to pray that at least one of these little ones finds a good place to nestle in and attach and grow for the next nine months! Praise God for how wonderful He is!!!
