Life is busy. Social media is fast and easy to update friends and family and to be honest, I can't even tell you the last time I was on the laptop was. Or the last time I was on this blog. But today I read an update on Facebook about a sweet couple whose IVF results did not come out as they had prayed and it yanked me right back to the days when we experienced the same. This blog was my outlet and I was so thankful for it. For the people it connected me to. For the safe haven it gave me. A particular post weighed on me and I came here to find it and share with them. Then I looked at the date of my last post and wow. That's all I can say.<br />
<br />
Life is going so fast. The kids are growing, Chase is struggling to find his wings and do his own thing. He's kind of at that I'm a teenager, but still a kid phase. He's 13 now, just finished 7th grade, all Pre-AP classes (math is bad enough, Pre-AP math makes me need Valium), honor roll, honor band, just pretty much an awesome kid 95% of the time. 5% of the time I'm ready to sell him to the highest bidder (we'll blame that on teenager hormones)!<br />
<br />
Emery is now 8 going on 20. I had no clue a little girl could have so much sass and I wouldn't change a thing! She just finished 2nd grade, all A's, does tumbling, had taken a break from dance but starts back up in August, and is an absolutely amazing artist. The kid draws better than me!<br />
<br />
Our little Phoebe Ann is the big 2 now. She is me made over and wears me out every single day... I LOVE it!! I am her person and I'll admit, I'm good with that. I still can't believe we got her, I look at her and am in awe to think she was frozen for 6 years... how is that possible? She loves to climb, talks nonstop, refuses to give up her bottle or binky, doesn't sleep through the night, and makes us laugh and smile nonstop.<br />
<br />
As for me, I am enjoying summer break immensely. While I love teaching, I love the break to refuel and be home with my kids. I recently read how you only get 18 summers with them, so make them count. Then I thought of Chase. This is summer 13, what will I do when 18 hits? Ugh, can't think about it.<br />
<br />
The past year did have some tough spots, but we've held together and made it through. I really hope all my old blogger friends are well too. I looked and it appears that so many are like me and life I has just gotten in the way of their blogs as well. I'll leave with some pics of us and the kids. I still can't believe how fast this is all going.<br />
<br />
Hugs to all!<br />

For four months, I forgot about it. Life is busy, there's very little downtime, and before I know it the day is over and a new one is here!<br />
<br />
The kids are amazing. Chase is rocking 6th grade and that's not easy. He's in all pre-AP classes and has stayed on the honor roll while doing band and tennis. I'm not surprised, he's pretty amazing. He continues to be a fantastic big brother and loves his little sister with a passion. He is almost as tall as me and if growing so fast. 11 1/2, how did that happen?<br />
<br />
Emery just turned 7 and is a sweet, sassy, hot mess! She is so smart and caring, basically following in her brother's footsteps. She is loving first grade and I love having her down the hall. She has taken on the big sister roll with grace and style and loves her little sister as much as she loves her big brother. Not that I ever had any doubts!<br />

Phoebe is now 8 months old and is an absolutely joy. She has fit right in and is such a happy, sweet baby. Everyone is immediately smitten and wants to take her home. She has two teeth and is so close to crawling. She loves her mommy, but not nearly as much as I love her. I look at her and just can't believe how blessed we have been.<br />

Life is good, busy but good. It's amazing how it can change so much in such a short amount of time. Of course, I wouldn't change it for the world. <br />
<br />
I hope everyone out there is well (if anyone still checks this thing). I looked and the list of blogs I follow seems to be in the same boat... busy with no updates!<br />
<br />
****I am thankful for<br />
1) Fall weather... finally<br />
2) my three little miracles<br />
3) holidays are coming!<br />
4) baby belly laughs<br />
5) a busy, full life<br />

I need to figure out a way to do that. So much has gone on. Emery graduated kinder, Chase graduated 5th, we went on our first Disney World trip as a family of 5 (and then some), Phoebe is 4 1/2 months old and growing like a weed. She rolls, found her feet, babbles nonstop, and is practically perfect in every way! I think of all these things I need to say on here so that I remember them, but never seem to have the time to sit and post. Here are some updated pics.<br />

Chase had opening day and is back on the ball field, Emery just had her 2nd mini-meet for gymnastics and brought home two red and two blue ribbons, kinder graduation is coming fast, and Disney World is 60 days away.<br />
<br />
Chase and Emery are fantastic with Phoebe and such a big help. They love her more than words can say and I couldn't ask for things to be better. Phoebe is growing like a weed and I really wish I could slow time down for all three of them. <br />
<br />
Here's a family of 5 picture from opening day.<br />

I fell in love. Sure, I'd been in relationships in the past and I had loved others, but this was different. I was "in love." That kind of love where you would do anything for them and not give it a second thought. Where you'd lay down your life to save theirs, without a moment's hesitation. When you no longer put yourself and your needs first, but theirs. It's completely different and you know when it happens to you. I thought at the time, that those feelings, that "love," couldn't possibly get any stronger. Then, on March 7, 2005, they placed this tiny, perfect, baby boy on my chest. The baby boy that we had been through hell and back to conceive and bring into our family. At that exact moment, I realized that when you are "in love" with someone, there is no limit on how deep it can become. On October 12, 2009, I experienced it all over again with our perfect little princess, Emery, that we again had gone through hell and back to bring into this world. At that point we had gone through an IUI, 5 fresh IVF cycles, lost Chase's twin, and lost a set of twins. Feeling blessed to hold those two in our arms doesn't even begin to describe it. I was madly, deeply, totally, 100% in love with my little family. Who could possibly imagine that I would once again, hold yet a 2nd beautiful, perfect princess in my arms, the thought was literally uncomprehensible to me. Yet, that is exactly what happened.<br />
<br />
For months we have known that we were expecting a baby girl. We've seen her, my stomach has grown, I've felt her sweet kicks and hiccups, we've prepared, there was a beautiful room waiting for her, she had a name, but somehow it still never really felt real. On Wednesday I went to my OB appointment to do one last check and see if Phoebe was back to heads-down. She was and and we were confirmed to check into the hospital at 7 that night to begin our induction. We picked the kids up from school, grabbed last minute things, and met Duchess to make the trade. One last picture of our family of 4, or so that's what I was being told.<br />

<br />
We arrived at the hospital, it was chilly, raining, and quiet. They got us checked in and settled, then placed the cervidil to help my cervix prepare for delivery. The rest of the evening was nurses in and out, listening to Phoebe's heartbeat on the monitor, and pretty much no sleep. Thursday, March 10, 2016 arrived and around 5 they removed the cervidil and began our induction. Pitocin causes contractions to come fast and this time was no different. Although there, they were tolerable. I was at about 3 cm dilated and it was more of a waiting game. We were now on Phoebe's timeline and if she followed in the footsteps of her brother and sister, there would be nothing happening any time soon. It turns out that Phoebe, wanted a story all her own!<br />
<br />
Around 11:30 the contractions were horrible and I was barely able to breath through them without tears. It took all I had to just close my eyes and breath. Our nurse was amazing and we decided that with still having such a long ways to go, an epidural would help ease some of the pain and help me relax to allow my body to keep going. The nurse decided to check our progress and stepped back with a complete look of bewilderment on her face. She said she wasn't sure what she had just felt, but it was definitely not Phoebe's head. It felt like either her nose or a hand. We also noticed that right about this time Phoebe's heartbeat was taking decelerations with each contraction from the 120's into the 60's. It is very scary to hear that on a monitor. Dr. F was called and there within minutes and confirmed that it was indeed a nose they were feeling and Phoebe was presenting herself face first instead of head down, which was causing her to hyper-extend her neck backwards during contractions. She wanted to try some position changes and see if we could get the little stinker to fix her positioning but said to call if the decelerations continued. After another 10 min or so I needed to go the restroom again and the nurse wanted to call Dr. F to see just how long we wanted to wait. Jeff and I came out of the restroom to my nurse already in her scrub hat and prepping for surgery, so apparently our wait limit was up. Basically Phoebe was under too much stress and it was time to get her out safely. The next hour was a whirlwind of activity. Dr. F walked in the door minutes later and my mom walked in about 2 minutes before we left to go the OR.<br />
<br />
I actually walked to the OR because it was right across the hall. Dr. F asked what kind of music we listened to and I said Radio Disney because let's face it, they play good music and we have two kids. She laughed and said Kidsbop it is. I tried to remember what was really playing when Phoebe was born, but I can't. The surgery itself wasn't bad. Lots of tugging and pulling, but no pain. It's weird not being able to move your lower body though and it lasts a lot longer then one would think. Our sweet Phoebe Ann was born at 1:06 p.m., weighing 7 pounds 9 ounces and was 19 in long. Dark hair, blue eyes, basically looks just like her brother and sister, so pretty much perfect in every way! It actually turns out that not only was she face first, she also had her cord across her neck and one hand by her face, so there was no way she could have been delivered vaginally. Like I said, she wanted a story all her own!<br />
<br />
I won't go into recovery, it's been fine, but c-sections are not for wimps for sure. As I said at the beginning of this post, almost 18 years ago I fell in love. However, I've not realized that not only have I fell in love, it's a love that there's no cure for and it's amazing!<br />

<br />
Life is crazy and things are busy as usual. Turns out that I'm a better pregnant person at 39 than at 29 and after a quick consultation between my regular OB/high-risk OB they decided not to induce me at 39 weeks, but to wait and see if Little Miss. Phoebe would do her own thing. She's heads-down and I'll be 39 weeks on Thursday, so we'll see what happens. We are excited to meet her, but we will miss these little kicks and knowing that we'll never have another baby growing in there.<br />
<br />
Chase is back at it for baseball season and practicing hard. Opening Day is April 2nd and I have no doubt the next month will fly by. He has been at the batting cages a couple of times and loves it. I'm thinking we'll need to get him there more often. On even bigger news, my sweet boy will be turning 11 on the 7th!! I can't even wrap my mind around it, it's so crazy! I'm really not sure where all the time has gone. It's bittersweet for sure.<br />
<br />
Emery is growing by leaps and bounds and losing teeth like crazy! She just lost #4 and has another one that I have a feeling will be out in the next couple of weeks. She is so excited about becoming a big sister, I can't wait to see these three together.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is doing well and I promise to update soon! OB appointment tomorrow and high-risk appointment on Thursday, so we'll see what they bring!<br />
<br />

I wish I had spectacular Valentine's Day photos, but apparently I didn't get any. None the less, we had a wonderful weekend full of love and family time.<br />
<br />
Baseball is starting back up tomorrow, so with that two nights a week on top of gymnastics and dance, life is about to get even crazier again. I feel like I meet myself coming and going!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we have Parent Night at the middle school Chase will be going to next year, how is that even possible?! My oldest baby is growing up and it makes my heart a little sad. Wednesday he goes to Bobcat Camp and he is super excited. They get to learn how to do lockers, meet the principals/staff, and then tour the school He is so excited and as much as my heart hurts, I'm very excited for him! <br />
<br />
My co-workers gave me a beautiful baby shower for Phoebe last week and we were beyond blessed with so many goodies. Things are slowly coming together and it starting to look like we'll have a baby soon! I have my next growth ultrasound on Thursday and we are excited to learn how big she has gotten. Saturday we are having a Baby Sprinkle with a small group of family and friends, which will be fun. I really can't believe how close are getting to welcoming our newest addition. They tell us that 39 weeks is the limit and I'm 36 weeks and 4 days today... yikes! I will say that Chase and Emery can't wait for Phoebe to get here, which makes my heart really, really happy!<br />
<br />

This month has been so busy. Emery was chosen to be in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Show for our district and brought home a first place ribbon, just like her big brother did when he was in kinder.<br />

Chase is about to start baseball again, which means lots of nights at the fields. Next month he goes to tour the middle school he will be going to next year, sniff sniff! I can't believe he will be in 6th grade.<br />
<br />
And in baby news, thanks to high blood pressure (although completely controlled and more than perfect since being pregnant) and being 39, we started seeing a high risk OB every other week to rotate with my regular OB. Our sweet Phoebe kicks butt every appointment and passes every single test with flying colors. Two weeks ago they were estimating her at four pounds, which is just crazy! At my regular OB appointment today I was told that 39 weeks will be our limit for baking and that Phoebe will be here between 37 and 39 weeks, March 4th being the absolutely latest. Chase is a little sad that his birthday, March 7th, is out, but I'm trying to convince him that an early birthday present wouldn't be so bad!<br />

<br />
In other news our Disney trip is getting closer and everyone is so excited! However, Emery's dance recital is scheduled for the day we were to arrive in Orlando so now the boys will drive in ahead of us and the girls will fly out immediately after the recital. I'm a little nervous flying by myself with a 3 months old and a 6 year old, but how back could it be? ;o)<br />
<br />
Hope all is well with everyone!<br />

Thanksgiving was a whirlwind and we spent lots of time with family and friends, which is always nice. We had our 3D ultrasound of our sweet Phoebe and it appears we are going to be three for three in the big cheeks department, she's still a girl, and we thing she is going to look just like her big sister, who looks just like her big brother. So basically we just keep cloning our children... ha! We have been busy moving bedrooms around. Chase wanted to move to the front bedroom (a.k.a. guest/toy room), then we moved Emery into is old room. However, his room was blue which meant a total overhaul paint wise. I've learned that I do not enjoy painting and that blue paint is hard to cover up. But, it's done and Emery is 95% of the way moved in, so that's good! I'm about to go up and finish her room right now and then I can start tackling her old room for Phoebe. I still feel like we have so much to do and I will be 30 weeks on Thursday, which freaks me out a little!<br />
<br />
Christmas was wonderful and the kids and I have really been enjoying our time off from school. I love my job, but I do not want to go back on Monday. Even just two weeks off spoils us real fast and we end up hanging in our pajamas all day, cuddling, playing, and just enjoying our time together. <br />
<br />
Our weather has just been crazy. On Christmas it was 81 degrees and everyone was in shorts, then two days later we had storms and tornadoes and now it's in the 40s/50s. Gotta love Texas weather!<br />
<br />
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and has a safe and happy New Year! Here's our babies to compare, can definitely tell they are all related!!!<br />

If she were to come, she'd have a fighting a chance and we already know she can kick butt. We certainly don't want her making an appearance yet, but it's a wonderful milestone to reach!!!<br />
<br />
Big kids are rockin' it. Chase just had his fifth grade music program and did so good. He is our super shy one and did 4 solos and a choreographed part. I was pretty impressed! Emery just got her 2nd grading period testing and blew it out of the water. Not a surprise, she is a smartie for sure!<br />
<br />
Hope all are well! One more day and then the kids and I are off for 9 glorious days, can't wait!!<br />

We had our 20 week ultrasound last week and although we don't get a follow-up until next week, we didn't sense there were any concerns and the baby measured right on track. They also confirmed that she is a she with no doubts! I can't believe we are half way there.<br />

She is perfect and beautiful and we just can't believe this is actually happening. Life is full of miracles and blessings I suppose! Now if we could just figure out a name, right now we are debating between Phoebe Kate (yes, I know there's a movie start named Phoebe Cates but to be honest, that doesn't bother us and only we would use her middle name) and Zoey ??.<br />
<br />
The kids are doing great, Chase just rocked another report card with all A's and B's. 5th grade is tough so I'm very, very proud of him. He is almost done with baseball and I think this may be our last season. We've had some bumps in the road and our little town loses and lot of boys as they reach his age, so there are only three teams and not a lot of options. He wants to try basketball so it looks like we'll give it a try. <br />
<br />
Emery just turned 6 and amazes me every day. She is doing so good in school and started to read small words and loves it. She is like a sponge. She is beyond excited about being a big sister, especially to a girl. She wants to find matching outfits, so I guess I should get on that. She is busy with dance and gymnastics and never slows down. These kids my life full and my heart happy (well, Jeff does too).<br />
<br />
It's wet, wet, wet here in TX this weekend and supposed to be cold, so we are bundled up and relaxing. Hope everyone is well!<br />
<br />
****I am grateful for<br />
1) wonderful ultrasounds<br />
2) big brothers<br />
3) big sisters and baby sisters<br />
4) 20 weeks! <br />
5) Winter is on the way! <br />
<br />
PS Karen, I think about you often and hope ya'll are doing well!<br />

added a perfect little princess to the family! Not a day goes by that I
don't question how I was the one blessed to call this sweet girl my
own, but I am so thankful I was. She makes us laugh and is full of spunk
and sassiness. She makes our days happier and our worlds better just by
being her! She is kind, caring, and happy, everything I pray for her to
be. Happy 6th birthday to our sweet Emery Faith, we love you!<br />

Well, I could have waited but Jeff and the kids (and pretty much everyone else) were dying to know what this little lucky charm is. Last week at my 17 week appt I had a surprise ultrasound so I had them seal the results without telling me what they say. They were 85% sure, so I guess there's always a chance they were wrong, but I don't think so. We had a local bakery that we are friends with make a gender cake and set up a family lunch on Saturday. If you want to wait to be surprised, then look away now, but if you too want to know what our lucky charm is, then keep on looking! Emery is thrilled and Chase is getting there too. If like was crazy before, it's about to get crazier!! (P.S. I was the one hoping for a unicorn, but it is definitely not)<br />
<br />
On a cute note, Emery did tell me that she knows it's not really a unicorn, but it would be awesome if it was because when it got bigger we could ride it. How stinking cute is that?!??!<br />
<br />
Now without further hesitation...<br />

Another little princess, can you even believe it? I had a feeling! <br />
<br />
****I am grateful for<br />
1) almost 18 weeks!<br />
2) pink, pink, and more pink<br />
3) excited family and friends<br />
4) good appointments and a healthy lucky charm!Kahlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09062732728748588097noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801612711227620315.post-77703132095327895802015-09-10T21:12:00.000-05:002018-07-05T10:50:03.562-05:00Well there's never a dull moment!Well school started off with a bang and hasn't slowed down yet!!! A week into our new school year we found out that someone on our first grade team would need to move to another school and we had about three hours to let them know who would be volunteering. Long story short, I decided that it would be best for my team and my family, if I was the one that went, so I volunteered. To say life has been crazy would be an understatement! I was really worried about it being hard on Chase since he has been at our school most of his elementary career, but it turns out that having grown up in our small town and having a mommy that's a teacher, my kids really do know half of the population have had not one single issue with the move! They LOVE our new school and are thrilled to be there. That was a huge relief for me because I have cried lots and lots of tears over this. I am doing well, but starting over again a week and half into the new year, having to set up a new room (still first grade), and trying to get caught up has been rough. I'm quite exhausted and missing my team/friends terribly, but I know it will be OK once I get my feet under me! Baby steps, baby steps.<br />
<br />
Baseball season is about to start and Chase is also wanting to embark on basketball. Emery is busy with dance and gymnastics. She is counting down to her birthday and can't wait for her party to get here. I can't believe how big they are getting. I need time to slow down just a tad!<br />
<br />
We are 14 weeks today, hello 2nd trimester! We had an ultrasound last week and the kids got to go (we told Emery over the weekend and she is beyond excited), I think they were happy to know that there is a baby in there. I am now on monthly appointments which is a big change from our weekly ones! Baby looked perfect and measured right on schedule!<br />
<br />
Hope everyone else is having a great month, we are looking forward to the cold front and the weekend, neither can come soon enough!<br />
<br />
****I am grateful for<br />
1) smooth transitions for my kiddos<br />
2) cold fronts<br />
3) weekends and turning off the alarm<br />

Things are going great and our Lucky Charm is fantastic. Last week at my 10w5d appointment he/she measured 11w1d and a hb of 163 bpm. I go back Thursday at exactly 12 weeks and will be released from my RE, then go directly to my new OB to get started there! 12 weeks, can you believe it?!?!??! Chase is still so excited and Emery still doesn't know. Chase, Jeff, and my mom would really like to tell her, so I'm thinking we will let Chase tell her soon. Just have to find the right way.<br />
<br />
I went back to work a little over a week ago and the kids start back on Monday. Emery is thrilled, Chase is tolerating it. I can already tell it's going to be a challenging year for me, but I can handle anything for a year, right! I am thinking that I'll extend my maternity leave. This is our last baby so I would love the extra time with him/her.<br />
<br />
Hope all is doing well, it's going to be a big week in our house!<br />
<br />
***I am grateful for<br />
1) We had a wonderful summer, even if it did go too fast!<br />
2) An amazing year ahead!<br />

<br />
Things on the baby front are good. Our numbers never dropped, just slowed drastically which freaked me out. Long story short, there were two, one did not make it, the other had a beautiful, healthy, strong heartbeat and measures right on track. Vanishing twin... again. Bittersweet... again. We are so thankful and blessed to still have one Lucky Charm and are learning to exhale a little each day. Our REs feel confident everything will be just fine and we don't need to worry. Easier said than done. As of Thursday I was 7 weeks and that video below is from that appointment. I go back once a week now, still on way too much medicine, shots are killing my hips, but it is oh so worth it. Next milestone: 10 weeks! All our levels have maxed out on what the machines go to, so no more blood work... woohoo for that!<br />
<br />

<br />
Princess Emery had her surgery today to patch the hole left from her tubes. This was the same surgery they did on her other ear a little over a year ago. They also removed two small warts, one on her finger and one on her thigh. She did fantastic and her biggest concern is where the wart was on her finger is numb and she doesn't quite understand that. Hopefully when the meds are out of her system, it won't feel too bad.<br />
<br />
Daddy has been on vacation this week with us, which has been great. We spent a few days in Crystal Beach, the boys did lots of fishing, and we hung out at the beach for hours and hours. It was great! Hard to believe the whole week has already slipped by!<br />
<br />
School is creeping up fast and we all have mixed emotions. Emery is so ready to go to kindergarten, but Chase has no interest in going back. He's perfectly content hanging out at home and sleeping/playing all day. Can't say I blame him. I love teaching, but I also love being home in the summer with the kids (and still getting my paycheck since it's prorated for the year).<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying what's left of summer!<br />
<br />
***I am grateful for<br />
1) a successful surgery<br />
2) Daddy and Chase time when they were fishing<br />

For sure one, possibly two, they are calling the 2nd a, "possible team player." Left with four pictures and instructions to return on Friday. So, all good, right? Until my blood work came back and only went from 2998 to 4746. No where close to where it should have been. Same thing happened with Emery. They called and left a message yesterday evening (stupid cell service) after I emailed back through my patient portal freaking out saying that Dr. G wanted them to reassure me not to worry and at this point they are more concerned with what the ultrasound shows than the blood work and everything was fine. Yeah, easier said than done. They also said I could come in Wednesday if that would help ease my worries. *sigh* Oh how nice it would be to just be a normal pregnant person with a normal pregnancy. Not sure what to do, but I know I'm praying like a mad woman and doing my best to let my faith be bigger than my fear (which is pretty damn big right now).<br />

I haven't posted because we haven't announced it officially and to be honest, I'm not even sure who reads this blog anymore, or when we will announce it. We're remaining cautiously optimistic and taking it one day at a time. Things have just gone so perfectly, that I keep waiting for the ball to drop (although I don't think that's going to happen)! Here's a catch-up of what's been happening:<br />
<br />
6/23/15 - Transferred our only two totsicles that were from IVF #5, they thawed beautifully.<br />
6/27/15 - 4dp5dt Negative HPT (I knew it was too early to test, so wasn't bummed a bit)<br />
6/28/15 - 5dp5dt Faint positive<br />
6/29/15 - 6dp5dt Darker positive<br />
*I will just admit it, I have tested every.single.day since<br />
7/3/15 - 10dp5dt Went in early for BETA 226.7 (spectacular)<br />
7/6/15 - 13dp5dt BETA 2 - 938 (wowsers)<br />
7/9/15 - 16dp5dt BETA 3 - 2998 (yep, you read that right) *This was the day our number dropped with the twins and we knew something was wrong, so this was a HUGE relief for me.<br />
<br />
Looks like our Lucky Charm will be due March 9, 2016.<br />
<br />
I have seriously never had a cycle go this smoothly and am over the moon. I go in on Monday for an ultrasound and BETA 4.<br />
<br />
If you know us and are on Facebook, please don't say anything, we'll announce it later on when we are ready. Thank you!<br />
<br />

FET was 6/23, BETA is 7/7, but I can go in on the 3rd if I want. I'll be honest, I'm too scared. They were a 5 day transfer, so I know something would show by the 3rd, but still... terrified. God's will be done, but we are crazy enough to want these two to stick around for a good 9 months so we can hold them in our arms!!!! When this was placed in my hand, it was love at first sight. Say a prayer they stick.<br />

We now have a kindergartner and a 5th grader, how the heck did that happen? No to mention I just finished my 13th year of teaching, it sure has gone by fast! We are very excited about summer and although we don't have any major plans, I imagine we will keep ourselves quite busy. Swimming with friends, church camp, fishing, New Orleans, bowling, dance, gymnastics... should be fun.<br />
<br />
On the FET front, we've started the roller coaster. D3 monitoring done yesterday and right now we have a tentative transfer date of June 23rd. It's so different than a fresh cycle, lots less involved for sure. Guess we'll know something by July 4th if all goes as planned. Trying to remain cautiously optimistic, but in reality, I'm a nervous Nelly.<br />
<br />
Here's to hoping!<br />

That was the 5th cycle and it blessed us with the princess. It also blessed us with two totsicles. That was a first for us. For 6 years the "tots" have been waiting, waiting for the time when we'd see if they too would join our family. We've come close to doing a FET many times, but for one reason or another we haven't. Our RE has retired for lack of a better word. Well really, he just doesn't see patients anymore, he runs the financial side. However, Friday, we have an appointment. The agreement is we'll meet with one of the other REs to monitor the FET and then our RE will do the transfer. So it looks like we're heading for our last hurrah. I'm not even sure how to feel. I'm scared to think this could work, I've been heartbroken before and when your hopes are high, it hurts even worse. So, I am going with the, "what's meant to be will be" mantra and praying that God's will be done. Here goes nothing...<br />

**I am grateful for<br />
1) our RE's office and the wonderful staff<br />
2) Dr. Gill, and the fact he is coming in just for us<br />
3) prayers, they work<br />
