Good vibes
I'm not going to go into detail but am back flat on my back on bedrest... And am shamelessly asking for any good vibes possible thru Saturday. Please please please.
Thank you so much for keeping us in your thoughts we really appreciate it and could really use it right now.
Crossing our fingers, toes & eyes...
with love, appreciation, and heart filled with hope,

Thank Heavens
Thank Heavens for sisters. Particularly a sister like Cecily who not only cleaned, did the wash and took care of me today but then also made a super yummy healthy dinner. Rosemary chicken, Swiss chard and lentils. (thanks T-n-T for her chard recipe!)
And all with perfect timing cause guess who's fighting a cold...BOTH Rye and I. Boo. :(

Quick Update
(Written by Cecily, standing in for Stacy)
Mmmm... Red onion tea. I bet you're extremely jealous.
I had a visit from the acupuncturist today and unfortunately, she said I need to take it easy and pretty much go back to being on bed rest. I wasn't even over exerting (or even exerting) myself. But I need to take it easy and lay flat more, and not get excited or mad. This means no more words with friends i-phone games and no more pac-man, no more yelling at Ryan (good thing we have walkie-talkies!), and no more unnecessary standing up.
For some reason, my voice is also hoarse. And unfortunately, I have a slight cough. That's not good. My acupuncturist suggested I drink the delicious red onion tea (red onion boiled in water) to help stop me from coughing. Delicious, right? =)
Thank goodness I have an absolutely incredible, extraordinary, phenomenal husband. And I'm pretty happy that my sister came into town too, because she can hang out with me when Ryan goes to work. The wonderful guy took off 3 days to help take care of me before my sister came into town.
So bed-rested I'll be until Thursday night. Thank you for all of the positive thoughts! I could use some entertaining ones now. =)

CLEAN!!!
I TOOK A SHOWER!!!!!!
Admittedly only a 3 minute shower (hee hee-refraining from making a comment about my sister here), but holey smokes I feel like a new person. :)
Have gotten permission to get up a little, but to still take it easy, so actually walked into my living room and kitchen for the first time in days!
Some serious luxuries here. :)
Plus, woo hoo!!! My sister comes in tomorrow!!! YIPPPEEE!!! :)
Thanks again for all the messages, comments, texts and e-mails...knowing you guys are out there and sending positive thoughts from all over helps incredibly. (and is getting me choked up, but that's also probably those dang hormone but shots)
love,
stace

over rated
bed rest is highly over rated.
relishing in my few moments at a 45 degree angle after lunch to say a fast hello. :)
transfer went well (the bits and pieces i remember in my drug induced state) and have now been horizontal for 49.5 hours, of which only 5 times now have i gotten up to use the bathroom.
ryan has been a dream, plumping pillows, bringing me meals, massaging my legs, being encouraging and cocking his eyebrow at me if he thinks i'm fidgeting too much. ;) (hee hee...did i mention he got us walkie talkies so i can also call him easily where ever he is in the house) ;)
only 24 more hours and i can move to the couch! hallelujah. might even be able to take a shower.
trying to be like my kids when we used to play 'log' (i was inspired one day and came up with the game)
thanks for all the continued good vibes!!! we keep talking to the little blastocysts and my uterus to stay in there!

here we go!
Here we go! Here we go!!! Big day is here!
I've got my drug cocktail set to go. Acupuncturist is meeting us at the hospital. Drinking lots of water tonight. Trying (though a little unsuccessfully) to load our good vibe music on Ryan's iPod to play during the transfer...
...and thinking positive welcoming thoughts for our little blastocysts!
10:30 is the time of transfer. Thank you so much to all of you who have already texted, e-mailed, called, and are sending good vibes are way.
With all of our fingers and toes crossed, and appreciation for your support,
