'Twas the night before transfer
When all through the billetting room
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a Shih-Tzu
The embryos were held in the incubaters with care
In hopes that their mom would soon be there
The 6-cellers and 8-cellers were nestled all snug in the lab
While visions of red-heads danced in their parents heads
And Gena in her jammies, and I in mine too
Had just settled to call it a night
When out of the night there came such a clatter
We sprung from our bed to see what was the matter
Wide awake we were in a flash
Quickly joined on the bed by Teebo and Nash
When what to our wondering eyes should appear
Our almighty God, his hands holding eight tiny Tuttle's so dear
With love on his face and in awesome array so divine
He uttered "I love all my children, and these truly are mine"
More rapid than eagles his blessings and grace came
As He gently called them by name
Now Taryn, now Noah, now Elijah, now Grace
On Elizabeth, on Ryan, on Jacob and Embie-8
"Good is to come in these lives to be"
"In honor of those who have trusted faithfully"
After laying his hands on my heart and Gena's belly, tears in our eyes
He gave us a nod and in brilliance rose up into the night sky
But we heard Him exclaim as He moved out of sight
"Blessed pregnancy to you...my son and daughter you have faithfully journeyed right"
