Consult with Dr. C this morning. Although I think I may have to rename him Dr. H for Dr. Holy Crap did you really offer me ten frozen embryos.

Yup, you heard me, we will soon be the recipients of ten frozen embryos. Even better, ten frozen embryo's from a 20 something couple. I think i smiled for the first time in a month today. Amazing Daddy and I were both speechless, totally in shock.

We went in to the appointment expecting to be talked in to a third cycle, which I would have refused to do without knowing something was different, or immediately going to donor egg. Instead, Dr. C asked us where we wanted to start, or something like that, and I said I didn't really know, for the first time I didn't come prepared with pages full of questions.

Then he started to talk about a couple that he treated that was very fertile, young, in their 20's but needed IVF to get pregnant, and she ended up with far more embryos than she needed, and she wanted to donate them to a couple who could use them. So apparently she entrusted Dr. C with the job of finding the right couple. And he chose us!

This is the first good thing to happen to us in the fertility arena since we started this process!

Donor embryo is something I've been thinking about the last week or so. Big thanks to Leggy for suggesting it and sharing her thoughts with me. I figured that it was going to take some time to get there though, especially if we had to wait on a list, or find our own. Never, did I expect to literally have ten thrust in my lap in this way!

So our heads are spinning, we have lots to talk about, and think about. Right now though, it seems like the answer to our prayers. Maybe I will have a baby some time after all.

He says the darndest things

The Boy has said some adorable things lately and I'm afraid if I don't write them down I will forget them, so here goes.

This morning listening to the radio on the way to school after hearing a commercial:

TB: Mommy, what's details?

Mommy: Oh, well, it's when you give someone a lot of information about something, you are telling them the details.

TB: Oh, like Eeyores tail....

A couple weeks ago after going to an apple orchard and pumpkin patch:

Mommy: Wow, we had so much fun at the apple orchard. I really liked watching you pick all those apples.

TB: yeah, and riding the tractor

Mommy: My favorite part was how gentle you were and how you had such great listening ears!

TB: Yeah! And my favorite part was watching you and daddy hug each other!

Wow, who ever thought he paid attention to that stuff! Amzing Daddy and I did have a rather nice moment in the orchard.

Another riding in the car moment discussing something silly about who loves him and who likes to be with him etc.

Mommy: Who's more fun to be with? (thinking he will certainly say Mommy)

TB: with no hestitation Mommy AND Daddy (definite emphasis on the AND)
