************ Signature/Ticker Warning ************
PUPO with my snowflakes!
liz4paws

I never thought I'd ever be able to ever say it, but I'm PUPO! It's surreal.
Today went perfectly according to the RE. We transferred two blasts that grew from our thawed four zygotes so the fifth blast didn't need to be thawed. One of the blasts transferred today was already hatching and that got us all giddy.
Sadly, one of the others stopped growing altogether. 
That makes me sad since these are truly the last of their kind but I'm glad the others did so well. And the last one is still growing and they will decide tomorrow if it's worth freezing. I'm praying it makes it and we will have two on ice.
I just wanted to give you all an update and let you know that I have appreciated your support and prayers so much.
