Signed and Sealed

Mark and I signed the embryo transfer papers and had them notarized today. I'm getting more excited about the possibility of having another child. Something in me clicked recently, I'm not sure what it is. I know the older Jonah gets, the more comfortable I feel that he will be able to handle the transition. I think now he could handle a pregnancy and by the time nine months went by, I believe he would fully understand that a baby was soon going to join the family.

I'll send these papers off on Monday and it will be official. Our little blastocyst will be taking flight from Nevada to Seattle. First Class baybee.

With all of the recent tragedy of the loss of my precious Beanie, I think a new spirit would be a divine addition.

My period started this morning. It is the last period I will have with my own natural hormones and blood. The next time I start my period I will be trying to make a baby. Approximately 35 days from now I will begin the process of conceiving our next little one. It's an amazing journey. And I'm happy I'm feeling more ready.

Here is a reminder of what our little Jonah looked like as a blastocyst. The other brother or sister in his 'batch' of embryos is currently chilling out (heh, literally) but he/she looked very similar to this as well:

Here's to hoping!
