So that thing I mentioned...

I mentioned earlier that I was working on something quite big for 2011, and oh how true that is. I think I'm ready to let the cat out of the bag to my handful of occasional readers...haha...one day that will change...when I actually become a good and dedicated blogger. Anywho....

For those that don't know me personally....ummm...how do I break into this easily....I don't have babies the old fashioned way. There it's out, I'm infertile! It doesn't really bother me, it was my choice actually, I had my tubes removed 2.5 yrs ago, not tied, REMOVED! They had their own issues, and everytime I got pregnant it was a life threatening situation and I was rushed into the OR to have surgery. So to rid myself of the constant worry month to month and asked for them to be removed and I'd just do IVF (in-vitro fertilization) when we wanted to have a child...which was right then anyway.  So a few months after having them removed we did IVF and were sooooo lucky for it to work on the first try and that's how we got our sweet little munchkin, Luke.  Well we decided it was time to try for #2. We are both the 2nd child in our family, and just felt wrong if we didn't try to give him a sibling. Seriously what if our parents had said one is enough....we wouldn't be married, starting our own family.  So since we're in a new state since the original IVF, we decided to do a whole new cycle locally instead of using our frozen embryos that were still in Atlanta. (That's another story, and a long, costly, confusing one at that, but none the less, it was our decision.)

So October 2010 rolls around and we start all the shots, pills, going to the doctors office every other day, yada yada yada, and long story short, we are still super lucky and I'm pregnant with #2!!! We are beyond thrilled. For those that are familar with this route of baby making, here are the details. For those not familar, this is going to look like a bad math problem. 

ER= 5 follicles, 5 eggs, 5 fertilized w/ICSI
ET= 2 5d blasts (4AA, 4AB) BTW= we told everyone we only transferred one b/c they don't get it and fully expected twins with IVF #1, and made me not fully enjoy our first ultrasound.
+HPT at 4dp5dt
+ Beta 10dp5dt = 320
+ Beta 12dp5dt = 700

1st Ultrasound is December 7th @ 1:30 and I can hardly wait!  9 more days, please hurry up and pass, then you can take your time. I don't think I'll rush this pregnancy like the first considering I have a toddler here to keep me busy until the baby arrives.

So there is my big goal for 2011, July 29th to be exact, another baby for our crazy house.
