Out last pre-transfer day. =)

Relaxing on the couch in our hotel the night before our transfer.
Today we finished getting our house clean and organized before our transfer.  (I relax better in a clean environment.)  We made our way to our hotel and checked into our comfy suite just a few freeway exits away from Dr. K's office.  No stressful freeway traffic tomorrow morning!  We went out for an early dinner. I got a nice mani/pedi. Then we cashed in a gift certificate that we have been saving for a special occasion.  Now we are relaxing on the couch in our hotel room watching football and finalizing my relaxing music playlist for my mp3 player that I will use during the transfer.  Tomorrow morning we will arrive at Dr. K's office at 9am to begin to prep for the transfer and discuss how our embies did in the thaw.  We pray that the two we plan to thaw make it!  I will then take valium and drink lots of water so they can see my insides better for the transfer.   I will update as soon as I can to let you know how our embies are.  Thanks for praying for them, and for us. We are both very excited, a little nervous, and SUPER glad this day is finally here.  =)

Supposedly eating pineapple core improves implantation.  I am not really big on this but I thought, "Hey, why not?  I love pineapple!"

Dear Jesus, We come before you knowing that this transfer is just a few hours away. We pray for wisdom over the staff, we pray for peace for the Shacks, and we pray for health and survival for these babies. You are the Giver of Life, and today, Lord, we ask that You bring life inside her womb. Amen.
