Pictures of our Embryos

Here they are- these are the 2 eight chromosome embryos that were placed in me this morning. We had 6 embryos available and Dr. Vaughn chose these because they were the right developmental stage for implantation.

This process was so exciting. On a large plasma TV we saw Kelley, the embryologist show us the petri dish with our name on it and then the embryos. We then saw her inject the catheder and suck up the embryos. Seconds later, she walked into the room with the catheder and handed it to my doctor.

This picture if a print out from the sonogram machine. There was a machine on my stomach that helped Dr. Vaughn see where to go with the catheder.

If you blow up the picture, look on the middle left side. You will see a rainbow shape or a horseshoe. There is a little white dot on the top of the horseshoe. That white dot is the bubble holding the embryos.

After the procedure was over, I was transferred over to the patient waiting area and had to lay flat for 45 minutes. The remaining 4 embryos are being watched and I'll get a call on Monday to let me know if they can be frozen. Ideally, we are able to freeze them in case we have problems with this pregnancy or to use for a second child down the road.

Thank you all for your calls, emails, texts, and comments on the blog. Marcus and I truly feel like God is hearing our prayers and feel so very loved by everyone. We have amazing friends and family walking down this path with us. We are very very blessed.
