Snow babies

It looks like we're getting ready to rob a bank, but we're actually trying to not freeze our noses off!  It was 18 degrees up north!

We went skiing this weekend!!  (One of my favorite things to do!!)   Knowing that I will be on restricted physical activities after the embryo transfer, I had to get in one last trip.  We had to plan it around my doctor appointments (which are every other week.)  So it was this weekend or never!

The snow was perfect!!  It had just stormed before we drove up, but that Saturday it was beautiful.  I'm so glad we went!  I'm just assuming I am getting pregnant next month, so this was our last hurrah.

It was REALLY COLD up on the mountain.  And I told hubby that this was what our embryo felt like in the freezer!!  ;)

It was a little adventurous remembering my drug schedule while traveling!  I had the opportunity to moon several people at the rest stops!  (Kind of)  It takes some creativity to do the shots while on the road.    We stopped at Subway to get food, and ice (that I put in a ziplock bag).  I held the ice on my butt while we drove for a while, and when it was time... we pulled over and hubby gave me a shot in the butt.  (It quite the interesting endeavor.)   We tried to park away from people, but we got some interesting looks from other people at the rest stops!

On the ride up there, we were talking about our possible future kid, and who they would look like.  We were talking about our genes, and what color eyes/ hair/ etc our baby would have.  We talked about our dominant and recessive traits.  

We were joking around, and hubby figured out why we weren't able to get pregnant thus far!   

 I laughed so hard when my hubby said (Speaking for our genes).. "We can't BOTH be dominant!!  One of us has to be recessive!!"  So- that explains why I've had difficulty getting pregnant.  In a normal month, our male/ female genes don't have enough time to negotiate the terms of the future baby.  (Because we're both pretty stubborn!)

But if you stick that embryo in the freezer for a month or two to chill out... that ought to be enough time for them to come to a decision!!  ;)   So therefore using that logic, this Frozen Embryo Transfer is going to be successful.  ;)
