Transfer complete...so what next?

So, I have had weeks of getting ready for this single moment and it has come and gone! I now have the potential of carrying two beautiful babies for an awesome couple! This whole process is miraculous and am so glad I am a part of it!

I am on bed rest til Wednesday. Two days down and then I can continue as normal (except exercise...wait, that isn't normal for me!) but will continue to take it easy until later this month when they do the pregnancy test and probably even longer than that. I don't want to overdo or mess anything up, so I will take the extra precautions!

The transfer itself was interesting.  They didn't really tell me what to expect...pretty much just stated that I had to have a really full bladder (let me tell ya, holding it has a whole different meaning now! May not make my kids do that....EVER! lol).  Let's just say that it is similar to having a pap smear. Very cold, metal deal inserted and then the feeling of something being pushed in and so on.  Mainly, just uncomfortable (tho, if you are like me, it may be slightly painful). Then, ultrasound is set up to ensure that they are injecting the embryos into the right area.  I was told after, due to having them push the ultrasound wand on top of my bladder continuously (still holding it!) for awhile, that a woman's uterus actually becomes mobile the more kids that she has. I don't believe I ever thought that possible...it would seem most of the inside parts stay still, but I guess not.  And after about 6 or 7 minutes, I was carrying two potential babies. Now to make sure these babies attach and grow extremely healthy!

I have an appointment on the 25th, where we will do the pregnancy test and see if my numbers are where they should be! Fingers crossed for extremely high numbers (over 100 high!).
