Somewhere over the night sky
Somewhere over the night sky tonight, our New York embryos are flying, all six of them winging their way toward Denver, to meet their Western siblings.
Will and I have joked that these frozen six, being New Yorkers, are likely to be much crankier and more prone to irritation than the Denver Sixteen, their Colorado brethren, surrounded by friendly staff and beautiful mountains in the peaceful lab at Lone Tree.
We hope that the East Coast embryos and the Rocky Mountain embryos will all get along, that they will play nicely in the petri dish. We wish for them to grow together for now, and if we are lucky (oh, please, for once let us be lucky!) grow later inside of me and even later outside of me in our home.
Be safe, New York Six, and fly high. We will be checking in on you tomorrow to be sure you arrived safely.

Oh Mo, please please be lucky.

Your post made me choke up, Mo. Hoping for safe travels, good 'chemistry' and the ultimate in happy endings for these embryos or rather... happy beginnings.
ReplyDeleteThey will have so much to talk about!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear how it all goes :) best wishes!!!
Fly safely, embryos! Loving the news on this cycle.
ReplyDeleteYour embryos first plane ride...how exciting. This has been such a crazy journey for you. I hope you continue to have good luck this cycle!!
ReplyDeleteCrossing everything for some healthy, chromosomaly normal embies!!
ReplyDeleteI love this post. I am thinking of you and your embryos and wishing upon every star that this is your time. You have damn well earned it.
ReplyDeleteMo - your post is simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's all crossed for you! How exciting how many embies can say they have been on a plane ride ;-)
ReplyDeletei am feeling so so good and hopefuly about this. i remember when one cell from my embryos were bopsied and took a trip across the US from California to Chicago to be tested.. it's so weird to think that's part of you.. on a plane. Safe travels to those sweet embryos to meet their siblings.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling so good about this. DId i say that already? Ok, I will be checking back constantly for the biopsy and Day 5 report - this is going to be exactly the informaiton we need in order to pick the right ones!
What a sweet post, Mo...it made me choke up, too! I have great hope that the Denver clinic will serve you well and bring about very happy results. I live in Colorado Springs, only an hour away, and I love the idea that miracles may just be happening so close to home! BEST of luck...I'm pulling for you and your little embies! :)
ReplyDeleteCranky, maybe ... feisty, definitely! Hopefully riding the subway in a year or so.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you.
Hope that they travel safely, and you get the best possiable results with them.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet post. Colorado is definitely healthier and more peaceful environment for them. I really hope they thrive and grow out there for you!
ReplyDeleteGod Speed to your New York 6 and to their Denver brother and sisters xxx
