Growing, growing, growing

The doctor called this morning and our embryos divided even more overnight.  4 of the embryos divided into 4 cells and the other 4  divided into 8 cells.  We are right on track and they are growing great!!!  Here is a picture of what they look like today!  












We are praying for them to grow even more overnight.  The normal stage they should be by tomorrow is at the Morula stage which is 16-32 cells.  Hopefully the 8 cell embryos will increase to the Morula stage by tomorrow and be at the Blastocyst stage by Sunday for the transfer.  We are hoping that the 4 cell embryos will increase to 8 cells or even to the Morula stage by tomorrow.  It is ideal for all 8 embryos to be at the Blastocyst stage for implanting.  The plan right now is to implant 2 embryos on Sunday, but they final decision will not be made until we go in on Sunday and see what stages they all have grown to.  Our appointment is on Sunday morning at 8am for the transfer.  Please continue to say lots of prayers for us.  Things to pray for until Sunday:

- the embryos continue to grow into their appropriate stages
- I stay healthy for the transfer
- Sean and I remain positive and continue putting all of our faith in God.

love to you all!

Hip Hip Hooray! I was nevr doubtful the Forey eggs wouldn't do as they were suppose to. I know they will continue to grow for you and all will be well on transfer day! You are in our every thought! Best of luck with the next procedure and call me as soon as you can with the good news. Love you, Tam, Matt and Cade
