Shock and Awe

I'm in shock.  Our IVF nurse called yesterday and one of our embryos made it to freeze!!!  How awesome is that?!?  We had written off both of the embryos that were left as they were graded at such a low quality on day 3.  However, one of them continued to grow and made it to freeze.  Our first (and only) tot-sicle.  :)  This makes me really happy on several levels.  For one thing, it gives me great hope for the 3 that were graded well on day 3 and were transferred.  It also gives me hope for a sibling down the road, or as my DH put it a "hail Mary" shot if this time around doesn't work.  Our nurse (Sarah 2) was super happy too.  She was bursting with the news. :)

Today I'm doing great.  I'm hoping that the blastocysts(s) are hatched and attaching to the lining.  Tomorrow they should start implanting and burrowing in for the long haul.
