Our embryo transfer on Sunday was uneventful; however, my doctor did make a special point of warning me not to use a heating pad or otherwise let my stomach get too warm, since excessive heat can cause the uterus to contract. So I've been trying to lay off the laptop because I can't rest it on my lap for fear of cooking my precious little embryo.
In case you were wondering, being on bed rest and not being able to use my laptop is a special kind of torture for me. I'm beginning to master the art of laying on my side and typing with one hand, so I'll be catching up on some long-overdue commenting this afternoon. In the meantime, let's talk about lupus! :)
I'd like to give a big shout out to Wick Davis, who does a fantastic job maintaining the website and blog for the Lupus Foundation of America. In fact, Wick recently featured little ol' me on the LFA blog! Click here to check it out. Thanks Wick! I'm honored and humbled to be associated with the LFA. Please keep up the amazing work!

Still hoping the little engine that could snuggles in!
yay you!
Glad to hear that you are PUPO!!!!
We need to get you one of those little tables that you can sit with while in bed or on the couch so you can still use your laptop and not worry about the heat!
Keepin a good thought for ya!

Come on embaby!!!! Snuggle into mommy!
I am so glad to hear your egg fertilized and was able to get to transfer.
I am going to go rub my fertility goddess for you tonight and chant, "Lupus pie...lupus pie, lupus pie" and do a little rain dance or something.
Onto the 2ww!!
DH always would get mad at me when I would use the laptop directly on my lap...and hmmm...I guess he was right! I'll have to start learning one-handed typing too! :)
Hope you go from PUPO to full out proven to be pregnant. :)
Congratulations on making it to the ET. I am so excited for you, and pray that you get to drop the "until proven otherwise" in less than 2 weeks.
Glad to hear all went well with the transfer. Come on little embie, snuggle in for a nice long stay!
Unfortunately...this is the new norm for China!
When we started this process, it was a 6 month wait, but it has now escalated to 28 months and counting......it will minimally be 36 months for us....Thank God we were blessed with Sarah during our wait! I would be out of my mind...my sister got pregnant one month after we started this process, and just had her second baby on Valentine's Day! Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would still be waiting!
Lisa
Yay for being PUPO!
Woohoo and frankly I intend to consider myself pregnant once Transfer occurs. I mean I'll have living embryos in my uterus, that means pregant to me. So enjoy this pregnancy and I hope it lasts 40 weeks!
Yeah!!! I am so glad the embie made it to transfer. Congrats on being PUPO!!! So are you a tester or can you wait until your beta?
PUPO.... I learned something new! Will you be on bedrest for the duration??? Wow. o.
YAY! I hope to join you in PUPO land in a few days. :-)
So glad you are doing ok :)
I have been stalking (no pun intended to the previous story you told me!) your page waiting for an update.
Take it easy and I'm hopin your little gangsta is settlin in for the long haul :)
Oooooh very exciting. I'm going to cross everything for you. I too would die if I was on bedrest AND on a laptop ban. Thinking of you!
You go PUPO! I will join you in a day or two. I'm feeling PUPO-LESS now.
I managed to maximise the bandwidth, just from blogging! And DH couldn't believe it! hahahha! :)

oh goody! may the embie make him or herself very, very at home :)
PUPO! YAY! The little embie that could!!
Still got all my fingers and toes crossed for you!
Hang in there, golden embie!
Yay for being PUPO!! Now onto the next 38 or so weeks!!
Congrats on bringing your embaby home! Well done, Grasshopper!
**Sending you some implanting vibes**
Cook baby cook! Or implant, baby implant! (directed at your embaby)
I'm so glad your embie made it home!! I may need some instructions on your sideways typing skills sometime next week. (:
Congrats on the great transfer!!
Congrats and totally jealous that you got to meet Bond Brosnan. Please share and happy to see someone blogging from CA.
Chat soon :-)
Well hey there. Thank you so much for the shout out!! Totally appreciated.
And you taught me a new vocab word. Being an English major, I am down with that.
Good vibes and positive energy coming your way ...
Wick
Ummm... laying on your side and typing with one hand, huh? You are truly talented. ;)
Well, if ya gotta be on bedrest, I can think of no better reason!!
Thanks for the PUPO interpretation. I would have never got that one.
Wow, that's fantastic news. Fingers crossed for you.
I'm pulling for you and your embie :) LOL about cooking the embryo with the laptop and having to type one handed. I would go nuts too if I was on bedrest and couldn't be online!
Sorry about the typo on my blog :) no, we don't have an out house! I don't think my family would come visit if we did!
Good luck! I'll check out their website. My favorite SIL (I have five SILs) has lupus (and it's pretty bad) and my DH has rheumatoid arthritis. I know it is possible that DD might develop some of these symptoms as she gets older.
I was thinking about you yesterday and Sunday. I'll think implanting thoughts. :)
Keep us posted.
Rebecca
