iVF bABy bLUeS; pARt 2

1 cycle.
1 blastocyst.
1 chance.
1 positive blood test.
1 baby on the way!

So much has happened, it would be unfair to try to squeeze it all into one blog. Instead let's just cut straight to the good stuff...We're going to have a baby! Finally.

Everyday I send happy vibes to our little embryo who is obviously a quiet achiever because I certainly don't feel pregnant...yet.

All we wish for is a highly successful and handsome child who can afford to jet set his adoring parents around the world in their retirement; and also that he/she is healthy with 8 fingers, 2 thumbs and 10 toes. No pressure.

I am happy. Justin is happy; although he did make the comment under his breath.."You've got what you wanted, now be quiet". So I am happy and being quiet.

More waiting now (it never really ends), to see if we can get through the 1st trimester, then the 2nd and then finally the grand finale...the arrival. Wish us luck.

  ~ Update: Unfortunately on the 12/12/12 we found out that our beautiful little embryo, who had yet to experience a heart beating, was no longer viable. This has been soul destroying for me and devastatingly frustrating for Justin who has to pick up my shattered pieces yet again. 
   ~ IVF cycle 2 should begin in May 2013. More waiting.
