We went to Times Square, the Empire State Building and then met up with Jonathan and went to Ground Zero. The 9-11 Memorial was the most breathtaking, awe inspiring thing I have ever seen.
After a full day in the City we went back to New Jersey to check-in to our hotel and grab some dinner. This was a great opportunity for my mom to get to know Sara and Jonathan. I'm pretty sure at this point she was already sold. (By the end of the trip "Mama Lisa" loved these two as much as I did!)
The next morning we all went into the clinic for blood work and ultrasound to make sure my body was ready for the transfer. It was, we were sent back to the hotel to wait for the call. At about 1pm we went back to the clinic and I had to drink a whole bunch of water over the course of an hour. We all laughed and joked, even the nurse got into the charades-type game we were playing. We heard that being happy and positive can improve the odds of the embryos attaching :)
The doctor came in, as did the 5 day old embryos. The doctor took these tiny little embryos as we watched on the ultrasound monitor and released them high up into my uterus. It was strange how years of planning by Sara and Jonathon was complete within minutes.
After the transfer I went back to the hotel to rest for the remainder of the day and flew back home to Iowa the next morning. I left Iowa as one, and came home with two more little lives, I felt so honored that this amazing couple would choose me to hold and protect their little babies. All we could do at this point is wait and see if these tiny embryos would implant.....
My mom and I ready to see the east coast.

Ready for the big moment.
