So guess what? We're finally pregnant! YAY!!!!!!!!! Yep, it's true - check out the positive test below...

I have never personally seen a positive test before, so exciting! I had to do a few more just to make sure! I have had a lot of negative tests, definitely a lot more fun when it is positive! We have backed them up when some actual doctor tests too, so we are officially with child and as happy as ever! It is still pretty early, only 5 weeks. I know this is really early to spread the news and I never thought we would be like this, but we just can't help it! We have been trying about 3 years now and we did in-vitro to help us and it worked! This is also something else I thought I wouldn't share, but you know what? We just don't care anymore! It has been a long, hard struggle and we are seeing a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel! We've decided that if we can help anyone out by sharing our trials (like others have done for us) than that is the least we can do! Plus, it is pretty interesting stuff! I won't share all the details here, but just wanted to let you all know that if your struggling with this too and needed someone to talk to... I'm here! It is amazing how many people actually struggle with this, I had no idea! Anyways, I know how it is and want to take this opportunity to thank those who have helped me along, you have really made life a little easier for me! :) So on to some more pics...

This is technically our very first baby picture! So cool and a little crazy! It is a picture of our best 6 embryos! We produced 15 all together (I actually produced 22 eggs! Each of my ovaries were bigger than my uterus! Crazy huh?! I was pretty uncomfortable...I know, I know - imagine being 9 months pregnant!), which is awesome because we hoped for 10-12!

Now hopefully I will not have to do surgery again later when we want to do it again! We only used 3 this time and we were able to cryogenically save the remaining 12 for later. We don't have anyone sonogram pics yet, another couple weeks for that. Cannot wait! We will find out then how many we have... we hope for twins! But would be more than happy with just one too! Now triplets would still be a blessing for sure, but I only have 2 hands, 2 boobs = you get the picture I'm sure! :) So we are hoping for twins! Take part in our survey and guess what you think we will have, get your votes in on the top right!

This is my 1 month along photo, I'm glad you really can't see anything yet! I can definitely feel a difference though! I had all the standard symptoms before we officially found out: heart burn, sore breasts with crazy veinage, peeing all the time - I'm up at least once a night, tired all the time, little nauseous at night and bloated! And I am loving all of it, maybe I'm crazy but it helps me know that everything is going good! No complaints from me, I will take it all! I actually had my first spew the other night at dinner with friends, dinner was so good too! After I was finished I was just sitting there relaxing and then I just knew it wasn't going to stay down! :) I lost it all! Luckily I got outside before it happened, good times! At least I know what my time is for now, 7:00pm - just crackers until the queeziness goes away and then I can grub! Frequent small meals are helping me a lot!


These are pics of the first little baby outfits we purchased, it was so fun! We are hoping for twins - boy and a girl so we got these for fun! If it doesn't work out exactly how we are hoping, we luckily have a lot of friends having babies too! Aren't they so cute?! Love it! My hubby wasn't as into this as I was, but he was a good sport about it! So fun buying baby clothes!
We had a lot of fun telling Seth's family last night, his grandma is down from Oregan and we were all together for dinner. I made a little onesie that said "I love my Grandma & Grandpa" and we had his mom open it, they were all really excited! This will be the 1st grandbaby on his side and we're excited to get it started! They can't wait and either can we, we know how much love will be given to our baby by them! As well as all the family on my side too, everyone is super happy and ready for us to bring on the babies! Thanks family for EVERYTHING you do for us and the tremendous amount of love you give us! Well that is about it for now! Thanks to all of you as well for your love and support with this, we have really felt it and really appreciate it! We will keep you updated with the progress! :)
