We are finally Home! they are adjusting well and are such great babies!~

Gracyn's bring home weight was 4# 14.7ozs, and Joe's was 4# 12.9ozs.

They are eating great and sleeping well! Their daddy and i couldn't be more happy!

September 28, 2010

Our Twins were born today via c-section at 12:36 and 12:38pm, they were 34wks 6 days!

Gracyn was 4# 8oz and Joe was 4# 12.2 ozs. Both are doing well!

They didnt need any kind of help breathing or anything!.....they will be in the NICU hopefully for not too long, but just to be closely monitored!

September 19,2010

I am completely miserable. The itching will not stop. the medicine is not touching it at all. 11pm-4am is the worst time frame for me, that is when my itching is the worst.

I do not know how i am going to get through the next 2 weeks with all this itching. I have tried lotion, showers, being cold (website said cool skin helps) NOTHING is working!

My next drs appt is Tuesday, and hopefully he will be able to help me!

September 16, 2010

I went in today for my weekly bio physical profile....

The last 3 days i have been up all night itching my skin practically raw......so i mentioned it to the dr, he looked at my skin and didnt see a rash, so he became concerned.

He said that i have Coleostasis of the Liver caused by pregnancy.....basically my liver is creating extra bile cells that could be harmful to the babies, and made mention of higher risk for still birth......I am freaking out.

So now, not only do i have to have weekly bio phys. profiles, but they are going to do weekly non stress tests. This makes me feel better that i get to hear them 2x a week, but its still really scary......i just wanted the itching to stop, and this is what i hear. UGH

So, now i am on an oral medication that is supposed to collect the extra bile cells, and keep them away from the babies......and hopefully make the itching stop.

They also gave me the green light to schedule my C-section for 36 weeks. (YAY!!!) which is the first week in Oct.!

Heres hoping for healthy babies and a safe delivery in 3 weeks *(OMG!!!!)

Monday, August 30, 2010

Went to the Dr today for my monthly Ultrasound.....Everything looks great! Gracyn is measuring at 3lbs 5ozs, Joseph at 3lbs 4oz. I also had to see the Hematologist today. he took me off of one of my medications that i would have to be off of for a week before delivery. (they are being safe in case i go on my own.)

They also moved me to weekly appointments which is scary but exciting at the same time. This means that they will be here soon! hopefully not before 5 weeks from now!

My Last full shift at work is going to be September 16th. I will be coming in two days to do clients that i already have in the books, but thats pretty much it. I am out of gas.

Dave still hasn't had any luck finding a job. Hopefully he will find something soon!

Thats all for now!!!

August 16, 2010

I haven't posted much lately.....we have been really busy setting up the babies room....it is completely done now and we are just waiting to fill them with babies :)...

We ended up in the ER on Wed August 11th....I had one contraction at 9:30pm, and then another at 10:01pm and another one at 10:06.....i called my dr and they advised me to come in just to make sure i wasn't dilating.....They also did a test to see if i was at risk to deliver in the next two weeks.....that test came back negative thank god! so i at least know these little ones are staying in until i am 30 weeks!!! hopefully longer than that, but ill get through the next two weeks first!!!!

The Dr. told me that if i have 6 contractions in one hour, then i should go to the ER, but otherwise she said that being that I am having twins, i will experience the Braxton Hicks contractions more often.

It is getting harder and harder for me to work, my belly is getting larger and my back at some points in the day feels like its breaking in half.....and aside from having to stretch to reach my clients heads, i have been doing ok!!! i get drained alot faster these days......but that is to be expected during the 3rd trimester!!! My Dr told me that I will probably have to pull the plug on working before he will, because my back wont be able to handle it, or i wont be able to reach my clients.....He said that everything is going smoothly and he doesn't see any reason other than discomfort to have me not working. I will push through as long as i can, but i am thinking mid September i might be done. We will just have to play it by ear!!!

Phew that was a long one!!! hopefully i can keep up with this blog and post more next month!!!! We are reaching our final destination here pretty quickly, and my blog will then turn into baby central !!!!

July 1, 2010

Tuesday we had our fetal echo cardiogram, and both babies hearts are perfect!!! one less thing to worry about!

We also had our 22wk ultrasound today! Both babies are measuring 1lb 3oz, and baby a is at 22wks 4days and baby b is 22 wks 3days! They are looking great!

I have gained 18lbs so far and they are telling me that its perfect!, I feel like its too much, but i guess i am gaining in the right places....( i am all belly)

and on a GREAT POSITIVE note....the Placenta previa is COMPLETELY GONE!!! yay!...they said they would like the placenta to be 1.5cm away from my cervix and mine is 7CM away!! so not only did it move, it went to the total opposite side....we couldnt be happier! its amazing how much can change in 4 weeks.!

June 24, 2010

So i was sitting at my computer desk today, and all of a sudden i got really dizzy, the room started to spin, and i was seeing things.....it got so bad that i put my head between my legs cause i thought i was going to pass out.

I immediately called my drs office to have the dr on call paged.....and before she called back i had checked my blood sugar and listened for the heartbeats.... both were normal!!!

The dr finally called back, and said its completely normal, especially at this stage of the pregnancy. She said the fluids are building up around the babies, and that causes your blood pressure to shift, and causes dizziness. She herself had experienced this as well.
She told me that i did the right thing by putting my head between my legs (or as close as i could anyways with my ever expanding belly) and take deep breaths. She said if it does keep happening that i need to call again, but otherwise its completely normal...

What a relief. I thought i was going to have to make the hour long drive to the hospital....which i gladly would have to make sure the safety of my babies....

So i can now breathe a sigh of relief, as this apparently is normal during pregnancy.

June 16, 2010

Today i am exactly 20 weeks. YAY!!! we have made it just past half way...

They told me at 18 weeks that baby A's placenta is now completely covering my cerivix.....This is called Placenta Previa.....

My OB told me that it could mean delivery as early as 34 weeks, because if i go into labor on my own i could bleed and possibly hemorrhage.....this scares the crap out of me! He also told me that i could end up on hospital bed rest. I am ok with this as long as it means the babies can stay in longer.

Please pray that the placenta moves on its own before delivery! The Dr told me that because i am shorter (short torso) and there are 2 babies and 2 placentas, it might not happen, but they will closely monitor it! I go again July 1st and they will check again to see if it moved!

I am still unsure how much longer i will work. They told me another 4 weeks is good (and we will talk about it again at my next appt.) and pretty much its up to me when i want to stop working.....but if there are complications then of course, i would be done working.

Its very hard for me to get through to the end of my workday....but i am doing what i can because Dave is still not working, and its not looking like there will be any work any time soon.

on a positive note.....We FINALLY decided on names....

Gracyn Leigh (Gracie) and Joseph Dean (JD or Joe)

June 9, 2010

Today is 2 years to the day that i was admitted into the hospital with severe OHSS... hard to believe that 2 years from the date I almost died, i am 19 weeks pregnant.

Our past few appts have went well!!! the babies were being stubborn, so we didn't get any good pictures, but they are both measuring at 10oz's....perfect according to the dr.

I was also told that i have complete placenta previa.....baby A's placenta is completely covering my cervix. So if it doesn't correct itself, that means i have to have a c-section, and could possibly mean an earlier delivery, and possible hospital bed-rest.

Whatever has to be done to get these babies here safe is what we will do!

We also got a possible lead on a job for dave! Lets hope it works out!

June 3, 2010

Today i am 18wks 1day...we went to Dr Kuhlman today. The ultrasound tech told us that she is 100% certain that we are having a boy and a girl. We couldn't be happier!!!

We are still having issues coming up with a boys name, but we are set on the girls. Her name will be Gracyn Leigh ! *Gracie for short*

Thursday April 29, 2010

We went for our 13 week ultrasound today.....Everything looks great with the babies.....

They are 85% sure that we are having one of each!!!! We will find out 100% for sure on May 20th....can't wait!

Monday, April, 26, 2010

I went to the dr today....babies still look great!!! heart rates are starting to normalize now....hopefully in the next 2 US's we will be able to find out the sexes....

The PA put me on 4 hour work shifts......Its going to be really hard being that Dave is off, but he is putting out some resumes today and hopefully we will hear something soon!!!!

We go to the perinatologist tomorrow, and get a longer scan, so we will get to see our babies for more than 2 seconds YAY!!! i am hoping that we get Coryn again.....she is awesome!!! the other lady isnt so friendly...

Thursday, April 22, 2010

I called the dr today....i am still having some issues with the medicine reaction...or whatever you want to call it......So the PA is having me relax with my feet up....not bed rest, but to take it easy and she doesn't want me to work tonight or this weekend.....

Unfortunately because Dave is laid off right now, i have no choice but to work, so they agreed to let me work tonight for 3 hours and a half of a day on Saturday. My work isn't to happy with me right now, but i have to do what is best for my babies, and it could have been worse. I could have listened to the drs and stayed home the whole time.

I just hope that i can work until at least June, but with all these scares, it wouldn't surprise me if they made me stop working sooner rather than later. I am very bummed about this, but again, am going to do whatever they think is best for my babies.

Thursday, April 15, 2010

I went to see Dr. Lalich today.....he did another exam, and pretty much said that i had to wait things out.....no bed rest, and no activity restrictions.

This is so frustrating to not know exactly what is happening to me.

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Today i am 11 weeks.....and while i was at work i had another bleeding scare. After almost 5 hours in the ER, a painful exam and an ultrasound, the babies are still doing well, and they think that i am having an irritation from a medicine that i stopped a week ago.

This is the scariest thing that i have ever had to go through....even scarier than my hospital stay in 08.....

I pray that my babies will stay in there for as long as they should....and that all will be well!!!

I have to follow up with Dr. Lalich tomorrow.

Thursday, March 26, 2010

We had a big scare today.....I was getting ready for work and started bleeding.....had to rush to the dr's office.....babies are doing great!

they are not sure why it happened, but i will have to go in tomorrow for a quick US and then tuesday for another one....they have me on bed rest until Tuesday....

Hope all goes well and nothing happens to my precious beans!

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

Had another check up with my perionatologist today!! babies are looking great!

Baby A's heart beat is 163......he/she was moving the whole time!!!

Baby B's hear beat is 171....he/she waved at us while we were looking!!!!

I dont have to go back for another 3 weeks....its going to be a long 3 weeks.....but i do have another OB appt on the 20th....hopefully it will be a good birthday!!!!

April 5, 2010

Had a great weekend with all of our family!! Good food and good conversation! couldn't have asked for better weather....(well i could have, but it was still good!)

Still feeling great! I feel like my belly jumped out this week, and i know....it's only going to get bigger! I can't wait!!!!

I ordered one of those Heart beat Doppler machines, so that i can hear the heartbeats whenever i want. Hopefully it works good and isn't a piece of junk. I should get it today or tomorrow!

Had to call in my blood sugar numbers, and of course, they upped my meds again! I feel like no matter what i eat, my sugars are all over the place. I have been trying to eat everything i am supposed to, but sometimes its just not enough food. Hopefully it will get easier as the time goes on.

On a positive note, Tomorrow is going to be my last day of my Progesterone injections, and i get to stop taking the other progesterone and the estrogen!! YIPEE!!!!

Hope everyone had a great easter!

March 30, 2010

Today was the last checkup after my scare last thursday...now i go back to my regularily scheduled appts......My next appt is Next Tuesday April 6th. With Dr. Kuhlmann. My next OB appt is April 20th!!!

babies look great today!!! Baby A's heartrate is 168 and Baby b's heartrate is 170!!!

March 26, 2010

Dr's appt went well today, the bleeding stopped....they don't know why i was bleeding, but babies are still looking great!

I go back again on Tuesday to make sure everything is still ok, and i am on bed rest until further notice.....

baby A's heart rate today was 164 and baby b's was 171!!!!

March 25, 2010

We had a big scare today....the scariest day of my life this far ( yes scarier than when i was in the hospital in 08... because i was out for most of it lol)

I had a bleeding incident around 130pm, and rushed to the dr's office. The babies look good! heart rates are awesome!!! (THANK GOD)......We got to hear the heartbeats for the first time today! I cried my eyes out! it was awesome....my dr was even crying!!!

I go back tomorrow for another US and to make sure everything looks good!

Baby A's heartrate is 154 and baby B's is 167!!!! can't wait to find out what the sexes are!!!

March 22, 2010

Today is my 3rd Ultrasound! I can't wait to see how my beans are growing! Dave cannot go with me today, as he went back to work after 3 rocky weeks.....Hopefully we will get his paycheck this week from 2 weeks ago.....

I am very tired this am, but feel great! no sickness as of yet, just a little nausea here and there....I guess i am lucky.......for now.......

March 17, 2010

Happy St. Patty's day everyone!!!! hope you all are enjoying your green beer and cabbage!!!

I felt ok today, it was a long day, i didn't sleep well last night...the crazy pregnancy dreams keep waking me up.

I have to say that i am very surprised that i am not feeling any worse...(knock on wood)...my dr said that usually with Twins you get sick X2....so lets hope this doesn't get any worse.....

My cousin found out she is having another boy today!!! that makes 7 boys on my mom's side of the family from cousins.....hmmm i wonder if that means i am bound to have boys??? I will be happy with either girls or boys!!! Dave said yesterday that he wants boys...he says they are easier.....

only 8 more weeks until we find out the sexes of our babies!!! maybe sooner!!!!

Friday, March 12, 2010

Today i am having a rough day.....The drs upped my insulin AGAIN!...i just started it last night and its not making me feel very well....and then i met with the Diabetic counselor yesterday again and i feel like i cant eat anything. I am starving all the time because i can only have so many "carb servings"....but everything has soo many carbs in it. Its so overwhelming , and depressing, and every time i think about food i cry.

for example..like tonight...i made spaghetti...and according to my paperwork for my "carb restrictions" i can only have 2 ozs of cooked noodles..

2 friggen ounces.....what is that going to do for me...NOTHING...it didnt even put a dent in my hunger

And thats not even with the sauce on there...i could only have 2 tablespoons or something like that of the sauce.

I told the lady that i am starving....and she said that i am not eating enough.....UGH...its a friggen catch 22...i eat something, and it goes over my "carb serving" but then i dont eat enough?? she told me just to read labels....well i am reading labels and i am still so confused. I dont get it. I dont understand....maybe i am dumb...i dont know...I am crying right now just talking about it.

March 11, 2010

I had my second ultrasound today!!!

TWINS!!!!!!!! i couldn't be happier than i am at this very moment!!!! 2nd baby is already stubborn and didnt want to be found!!!! Saw both heartbeats today!!!

Baby A 100 BPM, Measuring 5 wks 6 days at 3.1mm

Baby B 114 BPM, measuring 6 wks 1 day at 3.4mm

What an amazing experience getting to see their heartbeats!!!! i bawled my eyes out especially when i saw there were 2 in there!!!!!

March 9, 2010

Today i had my 4th Beta test. at 27dp5dt my numbers are 21,764. Right on track!!! The nurse said that i should be able to hear the fetal tones on Thursday at my ultrasound!! I can't Wait

On a somewhat negative note.....I feel crappy today...very nauseous. Tired, and i layed down but woke up feeling worse. I am happy to be nauseous though!!!! :)

Tomorrow needs to go by fast!!! i can't wait until Thursday!

I also had my consultation with the Diabetic counselor today...i have to start testing my blood....and watching my carbs!. I was freaking out about a little tiny poke in the finger...funny cause i have to inject myself with a 1 1/2 in needle 2x a day, but the little poke scared me lol.... It didn't hurt though! I have to record all my blood levels and everything that i eat!

Tonight my mom is taking me shopping for some new work clothes....mine are all ratty......not going to buy alot though cause idk how big i am going to get!

March 6, 2010

Today was an ok day, i am super tired.....i just got home from work around 7, and am sitting here with a stomach ache...its kinda like my stomach muscles hurt!!!

But yet...i am happy!!!! and will take each pain, or wave of nausea with a sorta smile on my face!!! i just hope that this is the worst that it gets!!!

Can't wait until Thursday when i can see my little bean again!!!!! And hopefully hear the heartbeat!

3/4/10 ultrasound pic.....5 weeks 1 day

they found one baby for sure....POSSIBLY 2...i am sooo ecstatic... They said that the second one looks like there is a sac growing in there....YIPEE!!!...

My next US is scheduled for next thursday!!!!!

I also have to see a diabetic therapist on Tuesday, because i am borderline diabetic. I have to start pricking my finger! fun stuff!!! I also have to see a hematologist! So.....a perinatologist, hematologist, OB, and a diabetic counselor...UGH!! thank god for good insurance!. They also said that they might classify me as a gestational diabetic right away which means even more appts....but it will all be worth it!!!

March 3, 2010

I am feeling quite nauseous today.....chocolate milk isnt helping for some reason....it usually always makes me feel better......Can't wait until tomorrow when i go for my first Ultrasound!!!! hopefully they can tell me how many beans are in there!!!! and then my worrying will hopefully go down a bit!

I have a work meeting tonight after my shift, and i am not looking forward to it....hopefully being tired and hormones do not cause me to say anything i will regret!!!

March 1, 2010

I woke up this am feeling tired, but great!.....took a shower...and now im not feeling so hot.....ahh the joys!!! but i am not complaining!! I will take each symptom as they come!

I go to the Dr this am for another blood test!! heres hoping beta #3 is strong!!!!

Update: Beta # 3 is 1958 WOW!!! thats a great jump!!!! still wondering how many beans are in there !!!!! Hopefully we will find out on Thursday!!!!

February 28, 2010

Had a great day today!!! My mom, Mother in law, Aunt Marianne, Julie, Megan and Joy went to see Grease!! It was a great show. Then we went to Beer Belly's for dinner. We got home around 6pm, and i was exhausted! SO...around 7pm i went to bed, and actually slept through the night without waking up to go to the bathroom!

We are Pregnant!!!!!!
1st beta 12dp5dt was 107
2nd beta 14dp5dt was 208
3rd beta 19dp5dt 1958

Morning, February 24, 2010

Today is the big test day!!! it will determine my life for the next few months......either way.....

God i beg you to let this happen for us, we have been through so much and the only thing that we want in life is to become parents! Thank you in advance!!!!!

February 23, 2010

Today is the longest day ever~!!!!.....it is going by sooo slow!!! i need it to be 9 am tomorrow and then 330 so i can find out my results......this 2WW is killing me!

afternoon....February 22, 2010

I am craving chocolate milk today, so i went out and bought a whole gallon of it....

i am feeling very down today, and can't seem to rest at all. i tried to take a nap, but that failed, so i went to the grocery store and bought the fixings for chili.....its simmering now in my slow cooker....can't wait to try it tonight!

I am also having weird cramps today, every so often on my right side.....hopefully its a good cramp.

February 22, 2010

Today is a sad, sad day.....I went in for my first Beta Test today and the nurses informed me that Dr. Katayama passed away on Saturday unexpectedly. I do not know what this means for our future, but i will still be going to the nurses on Wednesday for another beta test and to find out the results. They are referring all of their patients to Dr. Matthew Meyer.....whom i left last year to find Dr. Katayama. I do not know what i will do after the blood test on Wednesday, as i do not know if i feel comfortable going back to that Clinic.

Keep us in your prayers that this transfer worked, and we will not have to worry about a next step.

Evening, February 21, 2010

As i lay in bed tonight, i have been thinking about the past 3 1/2 years of my life, and all the heartbreak. I sit and think about how i am still living, and breathing....with as many times as my heart has been broken, I wonder how there are still pieces left to keep me alive. Yet, with each heartbreak, somehow i manage to pull the pieces together and go on for another day. I often wonder how one makes the decision to live their life child free, as i could very well be faced with this decision in the future. I hope and pray to god that i don't have to think about that EVER, but in reality, it is a great possibility. With my future in gods hands, i pray everyday for a miracle. I also wonder....Why me? why did i have to have these medical issues? why can't we be lucky enough to get pregnant without even trying? why do i have to be a statistic?

I go on living each day of my life as if it were my last, and hope and pray to god that he will make my biggest life dream come true. I know in my heart that i was meant to be a mommy. I pray that a medical miracle will happen this week, and that god and Dr. K will answer my prayers!

February 21, 2010

Today is a doubt-full day! I feel nothing but a little bloating.....did it work? why do i have no symptoms. UGH this two week wait is killing me. On one hand, I tell myself that this time is going to be different and the reason i feel different is because they are going to stick. But on the other hand i am freaking out. Why am i not cramping? why am i not having hot flashes? why am i not EXHAUSTED!!!!! GOD PLEASE LET IT BE A GOOD RESULT!

Tomorrow is our first Beta Blood test!!! we will find out the result on Wednesday!

February 20, 2010

Today Dave and decided to go to Chammps Americana for lunch. Dave Church came with. I ordered a honey chicken wrap with onion rings.... unfortunately all i could eat were the onion rings.....UGH These hormones are killing me! I am sooo hungry, but cant eat it! after we got home, i laid down and took a 2 hour nap.....My fuse is short today and my husband is already plotting his escape for the next 8months.

February 17, 2010

Today my husband made Garlic Parmesan Chicken for dinner. He called me out of the spare room to come and eat, and as i walked out of the room, the smell over took me and i about lost my lunch. I tried to suck it up and I made myself a plate, carefully holding back the gags. I started nibbling on the green beans, and then i tried to eat the chicken. The smell was too over powering and i couldn't even swallow the bite i had in my mouth. Sorry honey, i am sure that the meal would have been great if my nose wasn't so powerful right now.

February 15, 2010

Today is the big day! they are transferring 3 of our snow babies!!!! What good looking embies hey? I feel very hormonal today! Very anxious and scared and nervous. 3????? lol....what if they all take? The Dr. recommended that we do 3 because he wants to be more aggressive being that we only have 1 more try after this one. I have to take my 2nd of 3 HCG 3300 units tonight, and after this one, I will really be feeling the hormones!!!!

I am feeling very tired now and am going to go to sleep. Pray for me that these precious snow babies stick!

February 10, 2010

Today I start taking the progesterone injections 2 times a day.... it is very painful, but will be worth it!

February 9, 2010

Today I started the heavy duty hormones. 10,000 ui's of HCG, and the progesterone oil injections. I am also still taking the previous meds and my Estrace was gradually upped to 4x a day.

I feel ok today, very hormonal, but in check!

January 30, 2010

Today I started the meds for the next transfer.

I am taking Estrace 2 times a day, Lovenox, a baby aspirin and a prenatal vitamin.

January 26, 2010

Today i go into the Doctor to get the process going to do another embryo transfer. Dr. K. is upping my estrogen, and that will give us a higher chance of it taking.

He also recommended that we do a specific blood test to check my immune system to see if there is something wrong that caused the chemical pregnancy and could possibly cause future miscarriages. The problem with this test is that it costs $2,000. And they can't guarantee that insurance will cover it...So we submitted a pre approval to our insurance...and SURPRISE SURPRISE, they denied it deeming it an unnecessary blood test, only to find out that they denied it because the dr didn't give enough of an explanation as to why it was needing to be done. UGH so now starts the appeal process.....

We decided to go ahead with the next transfer while we appeal the insurance.

December 8, 2009

Today is my Dad's 61st birthday.....what a horrible present. First, Your going to be a grandpa and then...JUST KIDDING, you are not.

Today I went in for bloodwork, my number is less than 2. So the pregnancy is completely gone. This is another hard day for me.

I talked to the nurse today to find out what the next step is. Dr. K is recommending that we do YET ANOTHER biopsy to make sure that my lining is appropriate when they are putting the embryos back in....Results: its appropriate!

Evening, December 4, 2009

Today is the worst day of my life. My Beta number today was 22.....we were told today that my pregnancy is what they consider to be a chemical pregnancy. So basically it was an early miscarriage.

This is the worst joke that anyone could ever play on us. We were so happy to finally be pregnant and then it was like someone said....JUST KIDDING......

I can't stop crying. Dave is so mad. He is wrecked by this whole process. I just want to lay in bed and cry. I do not think that I can go to work tomorrow, as i fear that i will cry at the drop of a hat.

To make matters worse, they called me to tell me that i need to come in on Tuesday for Blood work to make sure the pregnancy is completely gone....WAY TO BE SYMPATHETIC.

Morning, December 4, 2009

Today we went in for another Beta test to make sure the numbers are still rising. We wont get the results until later on today.

December 2, 2009

Today I went in for another beta blood test. We will find out the results tonight!....the only thing i don't like about it is that they give you your results on a personalized answering machine. We have to call before 8pm.

Update: we got the results today!!!! Beta Monday was 38, Beta today is 44....WERE PREGNANT!!!!!! the nurse told me that i still have to be on my restrictions though because they numbers should be significantly higher. She told me that we are not out of the woods, and to take it easy. (this is very scary)

November 30, 2009

Today I went to the doctor to get my first Beta blood test done. They will not run it until Wednesday when I come in for another Beta test!

November 28, 2009

Today is our Thanksgiving at my Aunt Vonnie's house. This is my favorite day of the year! They also have great food, and love spending time with this side of the family! Today overall i am feeling ok, except when i was washing dishes after dinner. I had my hands in the water, and i got this extreme cramp, and then I had this super hot flash to the point that my face was on fire. (or so it felt like) It only lasted about 1 min, but it was horrible, whatever it was. I decided to take it easy the rest of the day and just relax on the couch.

November 26, 2009

Today is Thanksgiving. We are spending it with Dav'es family at his Aunt Marianne's house. I look forward to occasions at his aunts house because they have the best food and its great company!

We just ate dinner and I am stuffed, and also not feeling well. Dave and I are going home early so I can lay down.

After the transfer

We just got home from the transfer. It went well!! Dr. K has a special finesse. It was not painful at all. (the sedative helps too) The nurse gave us a picture of the embryos that were put back in. I am feeling ok right now. I am a little crampy, and extremely tired, so i am going to go to bed.

sleepy dreams everyone!

November 23, 2009

I am feeling VERY hormonal today. These medicines are kicking my butt, but hopefully will all be worth it in the end!! I take another 3,300 units of HCG today, my first of 3 doses. I will take one on the 23rd, and one on the 26th. I am back down to Estrace 2 times a day and still taking the progesterone injections 2 times a day, alternating butt cheeks. As of today, i have a bruise on each butt cheek, and a lump where i have to inject myself. My husband will not inject me because he is a wienie when it comes to that kind of stuff. I have just adapted to doing it myself.

Today I started the Progesterone Oil injections. They are not fun at all. Very painful, and make me feel funny. I also have to take 10,000 UI's of HCG which is pure pregnancy hormones. Here is where the hormonal fun starts!!! Look out Dave!!!!! I am also taking the Estrace 3 times a day, I started that on Friday the 13th.
