"Two!"

Well today was the day of our transfer. Aubrey and I headed to Lubbock again for what could be one of our last times for a while. Aubrey and I arrived in Lubbock in time to eat a quick bite at Freebird's, and then we headed to the doctor's office. The embryologist came and talked to us about our embryos first. We had 6 embryos still maturing, but there were two that were the best quality, with one being in his words, "PERFECT." He said they rarely ever see embyros of this quality. We were so excited to hear that news, and we had already decided that we were going to put two in. The doctor came in and began the transfer, but had to stop, because Aubrey's ovaries were so enlarged that they had pushed a lot of things in the wrong position, and it was hard for her to get the proper alignment. She restarted with a different technique and made the transfer. After the transfer the doctor did a sonogram to be sure the embryos had settled into the lining of her uterus and as you can see in the sonogram photo below there are our two beautiful embryos in the lining of Aubrey's uterus.




If you look at the picture, next to the arrow are two little white dots which are the embryos. After the transfer, Aubrey had to lay still for about an hour. At around 2:45, we were on our way back home to Abilene. Aubrey will be on bed rest for the next 3 days so I will be her butler. Now the waiting begins- we will take our pregnancy test in 10 days on the 17th, so please just continue to pray for patience and the development of our babies. Thank you all so much for your encouragement and prayers. We are already praising God for the miracle He has already done in giving us these two perfect embryos!

Hey, Creighton and I prayed about the embryos and did the Praise God dance in the kitchen today when we got your message. He said, "Babies" and patted at his tummy all the while laughing at himself.

We couldn't be happier and we know Who to give the credit to tonight!

See you soon!!!

And how lucky Aubrey is to have Justin as her butler! I know there is no one that could or would do a better job for her. She's a lucky lady!

Hey Aubrey & Justin, it's been a long time since we've seen you guys...since the good old small group days at The Village! But I just wanted you to know that you guys are in our prayers. I pray that our Lord blesses you with a son or daughter...or both!! :)
