Monday is the New Day of Rest

Monday at 11 I've got a date with some embryos.

Of the 9 eggs retrieved, 8 were mature. (So much for that high tech ultrasound.) Four of those were successfully inseminated. Monday I will find out whether any or all of them look good after 3 days. I'll take what I can get.

I'll be resting today, and thinking about how these can be pictures of the same child, taken just one over year apart:

    I feel I should remember but what is that righteous wagon? Beautiful wood and iron work. What is that thingy.

    never at a loss for a reference question.

  2. Good luck today! I hope you have at least a couple beautiful embryos to put back in.

    Your daughter is lovely! My daughter also has blond hair with curls in the back! I am truly thankful for my daughter as well. There was a long time where I never thought I'd have her.

  3. When did the timid toddler in the first photo make way for the little girl walking through in the second? Seriously. I don't remember that happening.

    Rest. Deep breaths.

  10. Mo-Wo - the wagon is a sheep wagon. Chris's uncle rehabbed it.

    I am twenty-eight years older than your daughter, but I really wish that I had her hair. Wow. Those are some lovely pictures ...
