Doctor Appointment Update

This morning I was telling the boys that I had a Dr. appointment today and they immediately got worried and said "mommy, what is wrong with you?" I assured them that nothing was wrong with me and that I was just going to the Dr. to have a picture taken of my tummy to make sure everything looks good for R & S's baby to go inside. So that is when the questions started! Carson was curious as to how the Dr. would put the baby inside my tummy so he asked "Do you eat the baby?". I laughed and said no. So then he asked "Do you put it in your ear and then it goes to your tummy?", and I said no. Then he asked "Do you put it in your nose?" and I said no again. So then Carson said "Well that is all the holes in your body so how are you going to get the baby in there?". Of course he doesn't know about the other hole and I certainly was not about to give that lesson this morning. So, I did what any honest mother would do........ I told them they would poke a hole through a hole in my belly button and put the baby inside. :)

The Dr. appointment went great. My uterine lining measured just over 9 compared to last week when it was only 2 before I started on the estrogen patches and pills. The ultrasound tech said everything was on track and should be on schedule on my end. I called R to let her know the good news and she said we may be lucky enough to find out the transfer date as early as tomorrow. I am hoping for Sunday, 8/24 as the transfer so I can be off of work for the 48 hours of bedrest and not have to actually miss a work day. Although, that day could be a challenge too coming up with day care on a Sunday for the transfer. Yikes! I sure hope we find out the date soon so we can start working out the logistics for day care and work on our end.

Keep praying that everything will go smoothly for this next step (A VERY, VERY BIG STEP) !
