{ E-Day }

There was still plenty of waiting after begin put in a room and changing into a very flattering hospital gown.  We really didn't mind how long it took.  Its not like we wanted to them to rush anyway, they were taking the time to hatch you so I wanted them to be EXTRA careful!

Mommy and daddy were surprisingly calm given the circumstances.  I think being left alone in that little room for that long forced allowed us to laugh and loosen up.  We talked about anything and everything you could think of.  One topic was Chinese New Years, which was actually that day!  January 23, 2012 marked the first day of the year of the dragon.  Apparently this is an incredibly lucky year to be born in.  I had even read that there were people who had their eggs extracted and frozen years before just to have their baby be born in the year of the dragon.  We were hoping that all the luck that the dragon brings we had some coming that day too.

The transfer was pretty easy.  We had some problems finding the "perfect" spot in my uterus to place you but with a Dr. like Dr. Lin I had no doubt he would keep searching and find it.  The transfer was done via catheter.  Dr. Lin would put the catheter in and a nurse has an ultrasound wand on your belly to see exactly where it's going and to find that perfect spot!  Daddy was getting really nervous because it was taking so long and because they were having a hard time.  I felt fine but then again I was just laying there hanging out.  He had to stand behind my head and just watch.  It got to him, he started to get hot and sweaty...see, sometimes he shows emotions!

After Dr. Lin found the money spot they called the embryologist in the bring you in.  He then replaced the dummy catheter with the new one that had you.  With one quick squeeze of the plunger the damage was done.  Now it was mommy's turn to give you a happy home in my belly.
