I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was scared to death. Would #7 survive the thaw, would he implant in my uterus, would he grow into a little human? He was the 9th embryo we transferred, would his fate be different than the last 8?
Here's lucky #7 on October 5, 2009. He was so beautiful as he hatched out of his shell right before they transferred him.

Here's lucky #7 today, on October 5, 2010:
How in the world did that frozen bundle of cells create such a perfect, beautiful little boy? An even bigger question, what did we do to deserve a gift of this magnitude? Tyler, you are one loved little boy and unquestionably worth the wait!
Can't believe it's been a year!! So happy that a year later you are showing pics of that cutie!!! You do deserve all the happiness in the world! You guys are awesome people!!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI Love this post!!!! Such a little miracle :)
ReplyDeleteTears brought to my eyes, Jill. You and lil' 7 (he'll always be Mr. Seven to me:)) have been such an inspiration to me, it is so nice to see how well things finally turned out. Happy endings so exist, and that is so important to remember.
ReplyDeleteHappy transfersary!
I can't believe it's been a year. I prayed for you every day (twice a day on days when you had -hpts). I still remember the post you wrote the day before beta. Thank you for sharing your journey. You've always been an inspiration to me.
ReplyDeleteHappy transfersary!
I love it !!! Enjoy this day, this year, as a family. :) Smiles, Heidi
ReplyDeleteTyler's expressions said it the best "I grew from that little glob?!" "What happen to the stork?!" "I'm confused!" "Tell me Mom that you didn't document my first poo-poo!" "Would that be a poo-versary?!" Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable.....really isn't it?? What a great idea to commemorate this:) I'm glad we got to go through this whole thing together!
ReplyDeleteLove ya!
I remember this day like it was yesterday too. That was the day of "one out and one in" :)
ReplyDeleteCan you believe Brady is a year old?
Love ya

It's amazing how we are attached to those little cells from the get-go. I still look at pictures of my embryos and feel connected to them, even though they never made it very far. They're the closest I'll ever come, so they mean something to me.
ReplyDeleteGlad Tyler is a fully formed beautiful little human being!
Love this post! I was just telling DH today as we were out getting Caden and Colton's 9 month pics taken..."can you believe that these boys were just 8 cells once?" AMAZING! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteSo AMAZING!!! It never ceases to amaze me when you think of God's creation process... WOW.
ReplyDeleteSo GLAD you have little 7, aka Tyler. He is such a joy, a gift and a blessing.
Love and hugs to you!

It's such a miracle, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI stumbled on your blog. I'm sitting in bed with three embryos just transferred today... it's been three years, two IVF's, three IUI's, one FET and too many heartbreaks to count.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of your son made me cry. The best part is that you are so grateful for him. Congratulations.
