15 Is My New Favourite Number

Just heard from the lab - of the 16 eggs harvested, 15 fertilized perfectly. Even that last 16th fertilized well, but just not as perfectly as the other 15. I am so happy. So. Happy.

The doctor tucked 8 of our little guys in the freezer already. This leaves us with essentially 7 embryos that are still growing. The doctor thinks we have a fairly good chance of making it to 5 day blast, but we'll know for sure tomorrow afternoon, when they call for an update. It's too early for the embryos to get a grade (look at me, already forcing my offspring to be over-achievers), but my heart sang when the doctor actually said that our embryos are "phenomenal".

I am so ecstatic, thrilled, overjoyed about this news, words cannot express.

Keep growing little embryos, keep growing!
