The Next Step ...

... is transfer!!!

I had another follow up appointment with the RE today to check the fluid issue, and I can not tell you what a relief it was that there was not even a hint. That's right - transfer for Monday is ON! The fluid was likely just a side effect of the synthetic estrogen and has since resolved on it's own and disappeared. No aspiration needed. My lining is a nice fluffy 12mm (the desired thickness is at least an 8) so all looks perfect now. Tomorrow I'll start the notorious PIO injections which are new for me - should be interesting.

On Sunday evening my IPs, Jason and I all shared our pre-transfer excitement over dinner. They invited us into the city to check out a unique small plate French restaurant Bonsoirée. The food was amazing, great atmosphere and we all enjoyed some friendly conversation - even when politics were mentioned. Such a fun night.

K&S are headed out tomorrow to spend the next two weeks in Hawaii - they are celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary. They'll be there during our transfer so my very good friend and fellow surro Daisy - who is 14wks weeks with twins for her IPs - will be with me. Monday morning the two lil "maybe babies" will be thawed and we will all start praying one or both snuggle in. We all talked about how they want to receive the news, during the dreaded yet ever so exciting TWW, and it was decided - they want to know everything. Fingers crossed that I'll have good news to share and this will be a trip to remember for them.

In other news - can you believe my sweet lil surrobabe will be celebrating his birthday in just 5 days!!! Giovanni will be turning ONE Sunday (Easter). Our family was invited to join in on the celebration this upcoming Saturday - I can't wait to see A&T, Baby G and all their friends and family again. Be sure to check back for an update and some pictures over the weekend.
