Transfer Day! August 23, 2018

A little morning motivation... "IVE GOT THIS"

Our video diary of the day....

This is us. Patiently waiting at NOVA IVF. Not nervous at all...

Chugging more water to get that full bladder!

This is our embaby, 5AA, in his little air bubble.

The day of the transfer (Thursday, 8/23):

• 8:30 AM PST - Went in for my pre transfer acupuncture. Katy did some cupping on my back and flipped me over to re-balance my energy for the transfer. It felt amazing!
• 12:00 PM PST - Transfer appointment at NOVA
• 1:00 PM PST - Post transfer acupuncture to tighten up my energy! She used points for my heart, head and overall body balance. 
• 2:00 PM PST - I went felt great and went to Safeway for a snack run.
• 3:00 PM PST and on.... nap, TV, snack, WholeFoods run, more TV and more sleep

The transfer was pretty fast! It mostly felt like a pap-smear when Dr. Shah was cleaning the cevix. I didn't feel the catheter at all. Maybe I got used to it from all the IUIs we did! All in all... we were excited throughout the entire process and tried out best to see what was happening in the ultrasound, but none if it made sense. It just looks like a blurry screen. 

Days following the transfer:

Friday - I felt well rested. Danny, Opie and I went to Monterrey for Phil's seafood, then Carmel-By-The-Sea.  We enjoyed walking around, and keeping the positive energy going. On the way back we stopped my Lululmeon, Gilroy, for some retail therapy. To wrap up our Friday night, after resting at home, we watched "Searching" with John Cho. SOOO suspenseful, but a happy ending.

Saturday - I slept in. We went to the NorCal BroDown then lunch with Matt Yu and his girlfriend, Van. After lunch I took a nap while Danny went to Monterey with John and Nate. After my fat nap I woke up and went to Core Power Yoga... it felt great!

Sunday - We went to Church and PRAISED GOD for his amazing glory. Then we went to brunch with John and Thu at Hue. Also picked up a super cute plant at Orchard's across the street. After that we went to Living Spaces and found a new bed frame! Pending on the purchase, but hopefully there's sale over Labor Day weekend. :) THEN another solid nap.

Monday - Worked most of the day and went to therapy. Today Michelle prayed over me.... it was beautiful. I took another nap before going for a good 2 mile jog! Felt good to get my body morning, but made sure to listen to it.
