One year ago today, we thawed our precious embryos and had them transferred into my womb.
I’ll never forget my nerves. We prayed so hard that all the babies would survive the thaw. We were so elated to hear they all did. We were surprised to see there were 3 embryos. Our hearts were pretty torn up when the embryologist said, because of the quality of the embryos, we weren’t increasing our odds of having multiples by transferring all 3 into me. I felt like she was basically telling me some of my babies were guaranteed to not make it.
We kept on praying. I’m sure some thought it was funny to pray so diligently for what they would refer to as a mass of cells. Some thought they were just a shred of hope. But God knew them as Alayna, Caleb, and Charlie. We knew we were praying to a great God who created them and could sustain them. But still, we just had no idea of what God had in store for us all.
We could never have imagined that day that God would give us such a grand year. That He would grant to us 3 gorgeous babies. 3 precious embryos that are now our very own!!
By the way - it sure is funny to go back and look at last year’s posts to see what we were thinking and feeling at the time. Now, it’s all a blurrrrrrrrr.
Such an amazing testimony! They are so precious! God is good!
I just love seeing them grow! I am so glad that God is in control. =)
So sweet! It’s so neat that you had the opportunity to SEE your babies at the “ball of cells” stage! That’s their first picture! They’ve changed so much!!
I have been following your blog most of this year and we are where you were a year ago! I had my transfer yesterday of two embryos and we are now in the very long wait you talked about until our first blood tests to see if they are still there! How do you make it to that date? And then the next one and the next one until you are sure they are going to survive?
