Day 5

My Hope JarIVF and PGD

It’s 12:30 am, so I’m going to say it’s now day 5. Our sweet embryos should have reached 5-day blastocyst by now or by later today. Fingers cross! Some time today they should be ready. The embryologist will take a small biopsy from the portion of each embryo that will make up the placenta and send it to the PGD lab. I still haven’t heard from Dr J, so praying this means at least some of them are doing well. Either way, we should know soon.

Day 4 Distraction Activity: Girls Night!

Tonight I’m up late and only posting now because I had some good friends over for a girls night. It was the perfect distraction! It was so great to just relax and spend time catching up. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. It was exactly what I needed. None of the girls have kids yet. They’re not even married yet, and it was just so refreshing to listen to their crazy stories of the dates they’ve been on and the ups and downs of single life. It really put things into perspective for me. For one thing, nobody’s life is perfect. I may not have the family I want yet, but I have a lot to be thankful for. I no longer have to worry about finding the right guy, I already found him. Ten years ago, I too was having relationship ups and downs and just wanted to find the right guy. Now I look back and realize that dream came true. Perhaps, I’ll look back in another 10 years and realize my dream of a baby has also come true. Maybe, maybe not. But that’s my second point, I am so incredibly blessed and thankful for my husband. He is truly perfect. Sure we have our fights and little issues that all couples have from time to time, but he is always there for me and tells me all the time that I’m enough for him. No matter what happens during this journey, I know I’ll be ok because we have each other.

He’s been away for one day, and I already miss him terribly. He gets back Monday. Just in time to find out about our little ones. I can’t help thinking the timing is perfect.

Good night little embryos. Keep growing strong!

I can’t sleep so decided to add an update with a pic of my other kitty. She’s the one cuddling with me tonight while her sister sleeps. I just love my kitties. My furry babies are another thing I’m thankful for.

  1. Yay for girls’ night especially with single ladies. I have avoided our girls’ night crew because most of them have children. A good laugh is aways good! So glad you have a wonderful husband! I truly don’t know how I would survive without him. I do think you’ll look back in 10 years and you will have a child. I don’t believe that you would be given the desire to raise a child if you were never meant to have one here in your arms. You are already a mom, but your desire to hold and raise a baby is still so strong. In the meantime, I’ll pray for your little embryos ever time I pray about my own journey and trust me that’s a lot!

  2. Hun your optimism is infectious. I love everything about this post: your laughing, your fun girls night, your love for hubby, your kitties. Good things are coming your way soon, I can feel it! Come on embies! xx
