All went well today. The thaw went as planned, and the transfer went smoothly. It was really strange being back in the same room we were in a little more than 3 years ago, but once I knew our little guy made it out of deep freeze I was able to relax and really focus on the experience.
I don't know if it's the Valium or what, but I find the whole transfer process to be extremely emotional (in a good way). It's not like there are many silver linings to the infertility experience, but one of them definitely is that you get to watch the exact moment when a little life enters your body. Holding my husband's hand (or gripping, because let's face it, it's still not fun having a speculum, bright light, and three people between your stirruped legs), I was able to really focus my intentions and love my hopefully future child. It was pretty effing cool.
So, we wait. Beta is in 9 days -- August 8th. Hopefully it will go by quickly and uneventfully. Burrow in, little guy.

I'm so glad everything went smoothly. Crossing my fingers this turns into a sibling for Chicklette!
Good luck! I'm glad to hear that the second time around is easier. Hopefully August 8th will get here quickly for you.
Woot woot! Can't wait to hear! So glad this was a positive and emotional experience. I agree - it's amazing when you can feel the life enter your body =).
