OK, well I got the call today that out of the 26 eggs they retrieved ...
(human egg - Not mine)
they fertilized 19 (with ICSI shown below) ...
(ICSI = Intracytoplasmic sperm injection, pronounced "ICK-see")
Out of those 19 eggs, 13 of them took! (Meaning actually fertilized.)
It is very weird to think that Mikel & I have 13 "babies" in a petri dish in Seattle! (So very, very, very weird!)
(Still not an actual picture of "our" petri dish or embryos)
Now we wait to see which ones continue to divide properly and we transfer 1-2 of them on either Wednesday or Saturday. I am EXCITED! Wish us luck.

Wednesday as in TOMORROW? WOOHOO! That's so stinkin exciting. I couldn't be happier for you two right now. :)
I can't believe after all the research, waiting, and set backs that it is FINALLY really happening for you guys! We should celebrate! (without alcohol of course, ha! ) Very exciting!
Did they do the transfer today or will it be this Saturday?
Omgosh YOU GUYS!! Jason and I just read this and wow! We are both so excited! Let us know if there is ANYTHING you guys need! That is so amazing! Good luck. We just said a little prayer for future baby Boos!
We have been thru this same type of journey, what a rollercoaster!
I am praying for you!
