Subject: It’s Egg Time!
Hello, Everyone, the first procedure is finally here, Egg retrieval is going to be on Friday at River North in Chicago, we have to be there at 8:45 to check in then the retrieval will be at 9:45. Tonight is the last night of shots 3 at 8:00 and now I have to add a pill in for eight days, pills I can handle! and then I have to take my final shot of ovridel tonight at 10:45, I wanted to tell the lady "hey that is a bit past my bed time!" lol, well that shot is going to trigger me to I guess ovulate or something but all the nurses kept saying "they will probably trigger you tonight" so yeah I have to stay up later than normal, but we are very excited and nervous, so I will update you all on Friday sometime or maybe Saturday? depending on how I am feeling, they have to put me in twilight to get the eggs out, then I will be getting a call from the embryologist Saturday to let us know how many eggs they retrieved and that they picked the best three eggs to fertilize. Also the embryologist will be letting us know how the fertilization is going, then a nurse will also call me on Saturday and I think she will be letting us know the date of when we have to come back to get them put back in, that can be anywhere from 3 to 5 days from the day of egg retrieval, so with the egg retrieval being on Friday if the eggs only need three days to fertilize and are grown to what they need to be, to be put back in then we will be going back on Monday, but if they need more days then it could be Tuesday or Wednesday? so I will let you all know what day! and then I will let you all know what two days I will be on bed rest so you can all visit me! love you all so much, thanks again for the prayers for our little miracle! we love you love Justin and Staci! xxoo

Well as Gramma you know I am praying for that or those precious future little ones even before they are conceived. I am praying for you and Justin. I can't imagine the emotion involved with this. You have been waiting for so long and have gone through so much to get to this time. We are all praising God for the blessings to come. You will be wonderful, loving, Christian parents and God knows that. Just rest in His peace as you wait to see what happens. As YOUR mommy, and mother in law, I love you so much. No matter what happens I know you will continue to walk and trust God with your future. Well I am going to stop for now so I don't get to involved with my thoughts, trying to hold them down. Continuing to pray for you both and your future family.
I love you, M0M

Subject: Embryo transfer
Hey everyone,
so egg retrieval went well, woke up sore and am still a little sore today, they retrieved 12 eggs, picked the 3 best out of the 12 and fertilized them, we don't know how far along they are, they are in a incubator and if they keep opening that it will make it long for transfer, so we will find out how much the cells have divided once we go on Monday!! for the Embryo transfer, we have to be there at 11:30 at the river north place in Chicago again, they will transfer them then I have to go home and be on bed rest for two days, so that is when you can all come visit me so Monday= embryo transfer, Tuesday= bed rest and wed= bed rest, cant wait for my visitors!!! :) and their goodies!! some healthy goodies would be nice! he he ha ha! just kidding, So we just need to be praying that all the three lil fertilized eggs grow and can all 3 be transferred! I can't believe we are close to the end of all this, Wow has time flown by, it has had its ups and downs for it is going to be worth those lil miracles! I will have a doctors app on Friday the 23rd to check my progesterone level and i am praying it is where they want it to be or I will have to start progesterone shots! not really wanting to do that?!
well i will talk to you all later, if you have questions you can call me or email me! love you all so much and thanks for ALL the PRAYERS!
Love Justin and Staci!!! xxoo
But Jesus looked at them and said, With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26
W0W It is hard that you are at this point, the day is coming. Not sure what to say because I am trying not to go to far over the edge with excitement. It is in there and building realllllly strong. Of course you know my prayers are with you and the little ones, healthy little ones!!!!! I love you guys so much. I will be there to do whatever I can for you. What do you want to eat? Hungry for anything special. I know Justin mentioned soup, anything else? Well I will be continuing to pray!!!
Love MOM

Subject : Tomorrow is the big day!
For some reason i was not nervous for the egg retrieval and I am really not to nervous for tomorrow, hopefully that is because God is carrying me through all of this and his comfort is wrapping me in a blanket, so just praying that our embryo transfer goes well tomorrow and that God blesses us with however lil miracles he has planned for us in his journey called Life, This whole process is very hard every time we get to a new step there is still another step to get through, tomorrow and then we have to pray that they attach, and then we have to pray the pregnancy holds, and on and on, so I guess in a way trying to get pregnant really teaches you for what is to come with your children and the never-ending steps to get through with them, wow just how amazing is life and our own lives, God really has planned everything out, we just have to hang on and ride the roller coasters ups and downs, and I am really praying our roller coaster is headed for an up! Love you all so much, can't wait to tell you what goes on tomorrow and how the fertilized eggs are doing!
talk to you all later Love Justin and Staci
God is my Strength!
Staci - you continue to amaze me with your strength and wisdom. It’s BABY DAY today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you so much!

Subject : A Big thanks to Everyone!
I just want to thank everyone for the visits, the goodies and the texts and calls, WOW! what a great bunch of Family and friends I have, could not ask for anything better. Was so overwhelming!!! What a Great God to give me such a support system! Now is the waiting game! Tomorrow I have to go get my progesterone levels checked, and then I will have to go back either Tuesday the 4th or Thursday the 6th for the pregnancy test, oh man deep breathe in and out, that is a little bit away, but I am sure it will go by fast and will be here before we know it, just praying so hard it worked, lil nervous but trusting in the Lord, for such a miracle! Next week will go by pretty fast I am going to be back in business with the babysitting and I will have all my kids to keep me busy! and I miss those lil faces, and I know Kam misses me she told her mom "I want to go to Staci’s" poor thing does not understand why I am not watching her :( So again THANKS from the bottom of our hearts for EVERYTHING! we love you so much!
Love Justin and Staci
we love you and will continue praying, let me know if your progesterone levels went up ok. love aunt jo

A chart showing what is going on once you have your embryos transfered
3-Day Transfer
Days Past
Transfer (DPT) Embryo Development
One The embryo continues to grow and develop, turning from a 6-8 cell embryo into a morula
Two The cells of the morula continue to divide, developing into a blastocyst
Three The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell
Four The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus
Five The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation
Six Implantation continues
Seven Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop
Eight Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream
Nine Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
Ten Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
Eleven Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy
