Little Ears, Big Eavesdropper

My little Elijah (4) brought me an egg from his play kitchen today and said, "This is a baby egg from Miss *sweet genetic Momma*! It came in the mail today! Can you put it in your tummy so it can grow into a sister?" haha! I've explained in very simple terms, but I never mentioned any details such as names. I'm a little scared to know what other conversations he's been listening in on while we thought he was asleep! ;)

Not Much Longer

We had a consultation today with the fertility doctor and we're good to go with our embryo adoption! He was THRILLED for us. It's so great to see a doctor actually get excited for us! Elijah broke the ice as soon as we headed to the room with "Are ya gonna put a baby in Mommy's tummy now?" HAHA! As usual, he won over the entire staff.

He went over some statistics that were MUCH better than what I originally thought. Depending on how the embryos were frozen, they have a high chance of ALL surviving the thawing process!!! After the procedure is complete, we have a 60% chance of pregnancy! It may sound like a small chance, but since I thought it was 30% or so, I'm VERY pleased. ;)

There are a few forms for the family to fill out, but after that, the doctor said the prep work takes only 18 DAYS! WHAT?! HA! I was expecting several months more before getting started.

So...for better or worse...stay tuned for news next month. ;)
