I hung up and was very excited. And then I was surprised by my excitement. It sort of came out of nowhere. I mean, I've felt pretty calm and even keeled about this whole process. When I got the phone call all of a sudden I felt attached to these cells that have turned into embryos...embies. Not just any embryo's, MY embryos.
This process is so amazing.
I found this site that helps understand the stages of embryo growth. It's pretty good.

Here's a pic to explain:
Today the dr. didn't call me until 4-ish and I was a bit nervous. He told me he doesn't ever know the time the other dr's will call him with the update so I should just know they will call when they can. :) He told me as of today 4 of the 8 embryo's have 4 cells, 2 have 3 cells and 2 have 2 cells. He said he thought this was a good growing number and we would still probably be looking at a day 5 transfer which would be Wednesday. It'a all a bit confusing still, but I'm believing God to protect our embryo's and grow them at a perfect rate. It is when the embryo starts to move out of the cell that it will be time to implant. It's a scary time as they grow and so I'm praying for safety for the embryo's and wisdom for the doctors. I know these embryo's aren't babies, but I can definitely feel the attachment to them. Although they said it will probably be wednesday there is a chance that I could be implanted tomorrow. If that's the case we would know by noon and it wouldn't happen until after 4pm. But I really think it will be wednesday. I'm kinda excited! Still just praying everything continues to go well.
So I'm trying to figure out what I can do when I'm laying on the couch for 3 days. It's coming soon! Maybe I will fill out my Christmas cards, or watch a million movies or read books. I'm trying to cook some casseroles and get things ready, but I'm not sure if I will ever be ready. The possibility of having children - it just doesn't seem real.
