Halloween Bash

I was so naughty the day after transfer.  We planned to have a big Halloween party at our house Saturday night and I had to spend all day Saturday getting ready.  I tried my best to keep my heart rate down but sometimes you just can't help it!  I had a couple of awesome friends come over to help with some of the food which was fantastic.  Nate helped with decorations and I did a little bit of everything.  My biggest project was creating a cardboard box maze for the little kids, up in my office.  It almost didn't happen, but I was determined!  It was all worth it when the kids loved it :)

And I don't have anywhere else to really post these pictures so this blog will have to do.

We were tourists ;)

Cat Brains

Mummy brownies

Spider cookies and jello brains

Chocolate covered pretzels 

Teresa and Sierra decorated these like PROs.  Probably because they both are actually cake decorators and really are pro.

Drink Station

My favorite room was the bathroom which I decorated like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets...complete with Aragog and all his baby spiders...muahahahaha

We also recreated our floating candles room from last year.

The kids enjoyed feeling all of the spooky body parts.

Okay, I do not have a good picture of the maze I made but you can kind of see it here.  Well, you can see the top of everything haha

Here are some pictures from inside the maze.

Transfer Day! Take 2...

The time has come again to transfer another one of our little embabies!  I feel like it has taken forever to get back to this point, but here we are.

Again, I kind of feel like it's just another day.  I don't feel especially nervous, but I guess I already know what's going to happen so there's really no need for nerves.  I worked a shift at Starbucks this morning, how fitting.  It's like I wanted to tell everyone that in a few hours I was going to get impregnated and how cool is that?!  But then I also wasn't going to tell anyone, especially work, quite yet.  It's weird to have such exciting news that you can't really tell people about.

I may have filled my bladder a little too full, too early, so I had to go to the bathroom when we got there.  It's not easy to only empty your bladder partially, but I did it!  And then I kept on chugging more.

We only transferred one embryo again.  If this one doesn't work I'm pretty set on transferring two the next time, but we will keep our fingers crossed.

This time I felt everything went a lot smoother.  The first time they had a hard time seeing everything and honestly, I think the ultrasound tech was new because she had such a difficult time and the girl this time found what she needed right away!  Everything went much quicker and it was less uncomfortable.

After the procedure, we went home and I took a nice long nap, like I love.  I'll take any excuse to nap that I can get!
