Our Journey has been nothing short of beautiful and amazing. I can hardly believe that in just 3 short days, we will be arriving at ORM for the embryo transfer. A day that has been long awaited for, filled with hope, excitement, and a bit of anxiety. Having gone through this process before, it still amazes me to see it all come together. I find myself adjusting to the medications beautifully. The side effects that I experienced the first time around are nonexistent. I am feeling very thankful!
The kids joined me for my appointment at ORM on Friday. I had my blood drawn to check my Estrogen and Progesterone levels and had a quick a lining check to make sure we were all set for the transfer. When Dr. Bankowski walked in, Addy put her arm around Rylon and said, "I am going to be a Doctor and Rylon is going me be my nurse." Smiling, Dr. Bankowski replied with, "You know, he can be a Doctor too!" During the ultrasound, some fluid was found in my uterus, so Dr. Bankowski used a catheter to aspirate it out. Jackson was a bit concerned and stood next to me, holding my hand. Then I looked at the foot of the bed to see Rylon with his mouth wide open, and Addy, calm and collected, taking it all in. I love her fascination and incredible understanding of this journey! What better way to leave my appointment than with a picture of my empty, sticky womb, all ready for two precious embryos to find their home away from home!
Friday was my second day on the Progesterone injections and after a call from ORM letting me know that my hormone levels looked great, I was told to keep my Delestrogen the same. I also start my antibiotics and Medrol (a medication to ensure the my body doesn't reject the embryos) through the day of the transfer.
Today we Skyped with Udi and Matan and after each of our conversation, my heart is filled with even more love and joy than I ever imagined. I absolutely love and adore them both and there really are no words that could express what it feels like to be connected with another amazing family a half a world away. I continue to feel so very blessed to be chosen to be part of this journey of theirs. To be trusted to carry their precious dreams come true.

And last but certainly not least, my beautiful friend, Ashley had her embryo transfer last Tuesday. I saw her at the gym yesterday and so much love and joy filled my heart. It is incredible to be sharing our journey's with one another. Someone I just met, but feel like I have known forever. Just as I was trying to put how I felt into words and send it to her, she send me this: I absolutely adore you, Ashley!
Wednesday is the BIG day!! Please send us your Sticky Thoughts! I am overwhelmed with emotion and beyond thrilled to be part of Udi and Matan's special day!
