Harvest and Results

Well, the harvest went well.  We got exactly what the OAR testing predicted.  7 eggs.  Unfortunately the results of the harvest didn't go as well as we were hoping.  Out of those 7 eggs, only 3 were mature enough to inject via ICSI with sperm.  Out of those 3 eggs injected with sperm, only 1 fertilized.  Very disappointing.  So now we wait.
We wait to see if this one little embryo survives to day five.  If it does indeed survive to day five (to day is day 3 post fertilization), they will biopsy it, freeze it, and send the sample off for genetic testing.  If it is normal, it will stay frozen until we are ready to transfer.  If it is nor normal, it will be thawed and destroyed.  We are praying this one is normal of course.  As we know with Sir Chance, it only takes one.
We obviously will be harvesting again, as we said up front, we will harvest up to 3 times to try and get 2 normal embryos.  We will look at the calendar in the next few days to see which cycle we will try to get into.  Off the top of my head, I am thinking it is the May/ June cycle.
So now we wait to see what happens with our one little embryo.

Sir Chance is now 9 months old.  He has two bottom teeth and is currently cutting some top teeth.  He had the flu, but other than that he has been perfectly well.  He is now sleeping through the night, and if he can find his soother, he will self soothe during his few little "twitches" at night.  If he can't find it, either daddy or I have to stick it in his mouth and he goes right back to sleep, never opening his eyes.  He is still co-sleeping in our room, but since he has been doing so well lately, we are going to start transitioning him into his room.
We set up a bed room as a designated play room for him yesterday.  Just have to finish cutting the foam floor to fit.  The foam is more for the protection of the 84 year old hard wood floors, not Sir Chance.  He seems to like the colors. Also waiting for the straps for the dresser and bookshelf....as little boys like to climb.
He doesn't like baby food any more.  He will fight and throw a fit if you try to feed him baby food.  He wants what mommy, daddy, and granny are eating.  He wants big people food.  Even though he only has 2 teeth, he does a pretty good job eating whatever we are eating.  His poops are pretty nasty now that he's eating adult food too!  He does still love his milkies (formula) though.  He also gets 1/2 strength apple juice and pedialtye (juice) as well.  He hasn't had boobie juices since about 6 months since our donor stopped pumping.
He's wearing 18 month clothes.  Yes.  Too big.  He is 30 inches long and weighs 20# 6 oz.  Has steele blue eyes.  Pretty sure he's going to keep those.  His hair keeps getting darker and darker.  It's dishwater blonde at the moment, but I think it'll end up light to darker brown.  It's starting to curl too. Looks like he's gotten his mother's curly hair.  He's got one little curl right at the very back. HA!
He is crawling like a champ, chasing the cats around the house.  He also pulls up on everything.  He can pass between the sofa and the table in the parlor.  He loves his train walking toy the most... and his Ferrari walker.  Overall he is a happy and giggly good boy.
