After Dr. B implanted the 2 embryos he gave me some written instructions. First off it says to "Stay in bed or on the couch for the first 48 hours." And then I am to gradually increase my movement with short distance walks. ................
But you know what? I want to bounce off the walls right now. I want to run through the streets and just yell at the top of my lungs how excited I am. I want everyone to know how happy I am. I know we wont know if this worked for several more weeks but one can not help to be optimistic. ................
It was such an amazing feeling when we walked into the doctor office to be greeted by Nina with a big hug, telling us how excited she was. And then around the corner walks Dr. B telling us how healthy these embryos look. And how pleased he is with the results this far. 14 eggs retrieved, 9 fertilized, 2 implanted, and 7 frozen...apparently that is GREAT results! To hear that from a doctor who has always be cautious is very reassuring. ...............
And then after the procedure...what an amazing feeling. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders when Dr. B looks up and says "They are in." Three little words with so much power. And those three little words made me the happiest woman in the world at that exact moment. ...............
After that point it was so hard for me to go home and do nothing. I did manage to watch Tangled (twice after falling asleep the first time,) Burlesque, Wedding Crashers, Wedding Planner, and something else but I can't remember. I even ordered a book for my nook. And when Jake got home at 8pm or so...I was not at all sleepy. Not one little bit. And who could be? I had just had one of the best days of my life and then was told I had to do absolutely NOTHING.
...............
And then today, Friday, was worse. I don't even have the scrapbook stuff I need to work on a new scrapbook. One more thing I wish I had thought about before Thursday. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now. I am looking forward to a friend visiting me either Saturday or Sunday with her son Alex :O) Huh, while I'm thinking about it I should probably get all the 2010-2011 Basketball Season pictures on a disk for her. Its something to do at least, and I really need to do that for her.
...............
Well wish me luck on the next few days of "relaxing" and doing a lot of nothing. I know it is important and I know I really need to follow Dr. B's orders/instructions. But being told I have to take it easy is easier said then done. But if it means we will be able to welcome a baby into the Martyn household I am ok with it :O)

trust me friend, if this works, you'll be drooling over the days when you could sit and do nothing - in fact you'd beg someone to order you to stay on the couch for a few days. I'm reading your post thinking "I'm so jealous" :)
HAHAHA!! I just had the exact same thoughts as Trena. Relax and enjoy Rochelle. Your resting days will soon be over and you'll have a toddler to chase around! YAAAAAAAY!
It is very worth it. Think of it as a time to log rest before you get to that place where you never get to rest:) Talk Jacob into playing cards with you:)
