Mom- "Dear tiny, beautiful blastocyst, welcome to my womb! Thank you for joining us, we've been waiting for you for quite some time. After months & months filled with surgery, blood tests, hormone injections, awkward early morning transvaginal ultrasounds and three failed IUI's we were finally allowed by our insurance company to move forward with IVF! Your Dad & I were pretty excited about starting IVF because we had success with our 1st round of IVF 2 years ago resulting in the pregnancy of your older sister Ellie."
blastocyst Mattson -"Older sister!?!" you think to yourself "Waahoo! Can't wait to meet her!"
Mom- "Yeahhhhhh, about that lil buddy. Well your beautiful, big sister Ellie actually passed away just before she was born. Soooo she's still your big sister and I KNOW she is looking out for you, but you won't get to meet her. Not here on this earth."
blastocyst Mattson -"That really stinks Mom. I'm sorry. I'm know I'm only 5 days old but, does this mean I'm kind of a big deal then?"
Mom- "You have no idea how big of a deal you are. You are wished, hoped & prayed for and loved by so many people already. But no pressure ok?"
blastocyst Mattson - "Yeah, no pressure. Hey Mom?"
Mom- "Yeah?"
blastocyst Mattson - "Why do you keep calling me blastocyst and what is IVF?"
Mom - "Ask your Dad. Hey Blastocyst Mattson?"
blastocyst Mattson- "Yeah Mom?"
Mom - "Will your Dad & I get to meet you in 9 months?"
blastocyst Mattson- "That's the plan, but what do I know, I'm only 5 days old?"
Mom- "Good call, you are wise beyond your days little one. I guess that's why they say "you're expecting". I'm expecting that we'll get to meet you & bring you home with us. But we learned the hard way after loosing your sister Ellie, not everything turns out how you expect it to. Life lesson #1, it ain't fair."
