Insertion Day

Today was insertion day.  We had to go to the clinic around lunch, which means my wife was a frantic mess all morning.  I can at least distract myself for a couple of hours with work, so I don't think about it.

Everything went smoothly.  We found out that we had several AA-rated embryos, but we decided to only go with one this time.  While doing two would increase our chances, there's a slight chance of twins as well.  We wouldn't mind twins, but we don't want to risk upsetting the delicate balance of nature either.

The doctor and entire nursing staff are fantastic.  They are so gentle and kind to both of us.  The doctor even helped me get dressed in my "scrubs" so I could be in there with them.  It's amazing that the prep time is like 30 minutes and the procedure is about 3 minutes.  It is so quick.  Kind of like spending hours preparing a meal that takes 20 minutes to consume!

My wife is on bed rest for the rest of the day, but she has already told me that she's milking it for the rest of the week.  She's invoking her Queen Card, so I guess I'm in charge of everything for the next couple of days.  Get ready for burnt microwave meals!
