Psalm 33:20-22

"We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you."

Beautiful Picture

We had our FET on Wed morning. It went great, they both survived the thaw (thanks for the prayers) and both were transfered. My doc is amazing!!! He walks in and tells me in is European accent, I've been doing this for 20 years for YOU and this situation to get you pg! He was so confident and didn't give us any percentage or anything, just that, you will be pg! Praise God for at least some extreme optimism!

I have a really really cool story about our babies. The embryologist came in before the transfer and showed us our cuties and told us that they both survived the thaw and looked great. We had a few questions, like when did you thaw them and such...but at the end I asked if the freeze causes damage to the cells, and if they can tell. She said that the freeze does cause some damage, but then pointed to our babies and said, if we see dark black spots, that means the cell died or is damaged, but look here, see how your babies are reflecting the light, that means they are alive. I thought that was neat, and then she left. For some reason my "happy pills" weren't feeling as strong (for some reason I wonder if they were the right ones, but anyway) I had a deep thought I shared with Dave. We have been studying Jesus is the Light at church a couple weeks ago, and the only way we can reflect the light is to go directly to the source, Jesus Christ. We need to have that intimate relationship in order for us to reflect the light. Our babies are reflecting that light in our picture of them! We feel that Jesus was shining his light of life on them, and they were reflecting it in the picture! How amazing is that. It was such a peaceful thought...and during my transfer it was hard to hold still because all I could think about was that Jesus was there, with us in that room, shining His light on us and our babies at that time. He was there, and His word says where 2 or more are gathered in my name, I will be there...well he was there with the 4 of us, our whole family! Praise God!

Our beta's will fall on a Friday and Monday, stupid weekend! So, we'll know the 25th. Please pray for us, for our babies, that Jesus's light of life will continue to shine on all of us, and not my will, but his be done.
