Precious cargo on board

Transfer took place this morning, as scheduled. I was so excited my blood pressure was higher than usual. Our doctor was not on call but elected to come in to do our transfer himself. Bonus points for that! Especially on a beautiful Saturday morning when he clearly could have gone to play golf instead.

The experience was quite different than the transfer last year. The most striking difference was that we got to watch it all on screen. Shoushhhh....our wee one slid in and it looked like a shooting star. Poetic.

The blast transferred is gorgeous, if I do say so myself (and since I had no role in creating it, it's not really bragging - ok, maybe a little). Here's a picture.

I am bed resting for the next 24 hours until we start heading home tomorrow evening.

I am really happy right now and filled with hope. I'll savor that while it's here.

I'm sending positive thoughts to the lovely and amazing Nurse Louisa. I read on Adele's blog that there is a concern in her pregnancy. She contributes to this community in such a significant yet understated way. Please join me in sending her good thoughts.
