After almost four years of battling infertility and over a year of crazy injections and procedures, we finally can say...WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!!!! The doctor gave us the fantastic news yesterday and he also added that my blood levels are so high, he's fairly sure that there is more than one baby!!!!!! Of course, we won't be able to know for sure ( Read more... )

Ok, so it's been a while. But, I've been just a little busy ( Read more... )

Happy Friday and Happy St. Patty's Day ( Read more... )

Ugh! It's almost Friday, but not yet...unfortunately. This week has been a real challenge to get through so far. We're coming up to the hard part of the in-vitro process and I'm feeling miserable. I have an ultrasound and blood test tomorrow morning and that should determine when the first procedure should be. The doctor is thinking probably ( Read more... )

It was a pretty good weekend. Saturday was absolutely beautiful...I was walking around in jeans and a t-shirt (my kind of weather). It was so nice that we even let the kitties play outside for a while. I feel bad for them sometimes because they spend their whole life indoors just looking out the windows. My big guy, Elvis, will let me know that ( Read more... )

I am literally dragging myself through this week. I have been in bed by 9 every night and I'm still just beat. The medication is really taking a toll this time, although the doctor said that would probably happen and is 100% normal. Apparently, since I've been exposed to it before, my body is reacting much faster. I've been hauling myself into ( Read more... )

Another Monday. Ugh! It was a pretty quiet weekend and I didn't want it to end. Saturday my husband actually wanted to go shopping. He needed some new jeans, so who am I to say no. I'm almost always up for shopping. We went to a few stores, but he didn't really have any luck. The style of jeans that he normally buys is apparently a very ( Read more... )

There's not too much happening around here, nothing exciting anyway. It's snowing pretty good outside and we are supposed to get a decent amount of accumulation. I really shouldn't complain because it's been a fairly mild winter, but it's March now - snow should not be an issue at this point. Jeez ( Read more... )

This weekend was a rather busy one. It wasn't bad, just incredibly full. Friday night we spent the night in the city with my in-laws. My mother-in-law got my husband and my father-in-law tickets to see Spam-a-lot on Broadway for Christmas. When she was buying the tickets, I told her to shoot for the spring because I knew that things were going ( Read more... )

My brother's surgery went very well. It was long, about 5 hours, but everything went just as the doctor expected it. They removed a huge mass from his abdomen - the doctor said that it was the size of a garbage can lid and about 7 inches thick! Those are just rough estimates because we are still waiting for all the lab tests to come back. The ( Read more... )
