TWW Days 4 and 5 and the Day Before the Big Day

Tomorrow is transfer day! Woohoo!  I’m so excited and anxious, I can barely contain it. In just a couple of hours, I’ll go to sleep (please let me sleep), and when I wake up, I’ll finally be going in for my transfer! We have one normal embryo. Our one shot at this, our little embie girl. To say there’s a lot riding on this is an understatement, but I have so much optimism that this is going to work. Please, please let me be right. I honestly don’t know how I’ll be if it doesn’t, but I can’t think about that right now. Right now, I only have room in my thoughts for her. For that single rose blooming on that vine. She is our little bloom and I just feel in my heart that this is going to work. And at least I know I have done everything I could to make it work. The rest is out of our hands.

The plan for tomorrow

I’ll empty my bladder before I leave the house. Then I have acupuncture at my fertility clinic at 9:30. Then once acupuncture is done, I’ll start drinking water to get a full bladder, and the big event, will start at 10:15. After the transfer is complete, I’ll have another acupuncture treatment. That’s basically it. After acupuncture, I’ll go home and lay down and rest and relax for the rest of the day. I’ll write more details tomorrow after the process is complete and I know all the details.

Now for my TWW presents 🙂 I was too tired last night to post my day 4 gift so I’m going to share both day 4 and day 5 gifts together. Present #4 is a box of popcorn and present #5 is a pair of fuzzy slippers with pumpkins on them. The slippers made me smile. It’s hard to believe that we first started this entire process in August. When my friend sent the TWW care package, she thought like us, that we were going to do our transfer at the end of September, and so Halloween themed slippers were very fitting. They were a perfect gift then and are still a perfect gift now. I absolutely love slippers. When I’m at home, I’m always wearing them and I can’t wait to wear these new ones tomorrow. Dr. J’s orders are to rest and take it easy tomorrow so I plan to lay about and watch my dvr recordings and maybe a few movies and just be completely lazy. The popcorn will be the perfect snack and the slippers will keep my feet nice and cozy. I read somewhere that it’s good to keep your feet warm during your transfer because warm feet = a warm and cozy uterus. It’s probably an old wive’s tale, but having warm and cozy feet will certainly make me feel warm and comfy.

  2. Jo, just before I scrolled down to your Hope Jar post, day 4 & 5, I read another post I received; that is a prayer to St. Therese. It goes like this ” St. Therese, the little flower, please pick a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me with a message of love. Ask God to grant me the favor I ask and tell Him I will love Him each day more and more. Amen. Little Embie is your Rose. Sending you all my love and my arms to hug you.
