Today was the big day!
Emmi had a lunch time vet appointment and I snuck out of a work Christmas party to shoot across town. When I got there she had been tested already, and the decision made that she was ready for the insemination.
We had planned on a TCI (trans-cervical insemination), which was a fascinating procedure to watch. Everything was hooked up to video monitor, and once the catheter had been inserted through her cervix and into the uterus it was time for Ressi's part of the process :-). Luckily the semen on thaw still looked great, with a 70% motility, so given all the stars being in alignment we are very hopeful for a successful outcome.
We will know if it has been successful in about three weeks time. And if it is, we will have Diamonds for Valentine's Day (her due date).
