Olive Garden!

Nadia had her first trip to Olive Garden today. It was a belated bday dinner for me with my hubby and our peanut. I thought for sure Nadia would love the breadsticks. I remember my niece, Jenna, sitting on my lap sucking a breadstick for a long time when she was little when we were in an Olive Garden in MD. Well Nadia didn't like the breadsticks! In reality it's better that she likes wheat and rye bread as those are healthier. She did like sharing my lasagna. Even with sharing I only ate half of it as I wanted to save room for dessert (which means I get to enjoy the rest of the lasagna tomorrow). My bday is usually the one time a year I order dessert at a restaurant. In the past I've gotten the Black Tie Mousse Cake, but I decided to try one of their new desserts (Chocolate Ciottoli Cake). It was delicious! While we were eating our salads, I cut up one of the black olives (which neither of us like) and fed it to Nadia; she liked it! So she likes lasagna and olives but not breadsticks. I had brought a banana and cheerios so she didn't leave hungry.

I wish we could have gotten an update on our 12 embryos today. We won't get an update until we go in at 1pm on Monday. Our transfer is scheduled for 2pm. We're bringing Nadia. The good news is that my pain level has gone down a lot today, and the bloating has also gone down more. This is another advantage of having a 5 day transfer. My ovaries were still really swollen when I had the 3 day transfer which made the external ultrasound during the transfer rather painful. Thanks for praying for our embies. It means a lot! I am so scared that none will make it to blastocyst by Monday.
