I have beautiful cervical mucus!!!

My weekend of fun with Dr. Haas continued this morning. Ultrasound showed that my 14 mm follicle from yesterday is now 17.5 mm which is great progress in one day! Our goal is 18 mm so we're getting close. And of course, he drew more blood.

So, this cycle has now been changed into IUI round #1. (For my vet friends, it's the same as AI in cattle. Except he won't use his whole arm hopefully). So, we go back tomorrow morning for more labs and another ultrasound to check my follicle.

We're planning on IUI on Sunday or Monday which entails going in at 11:00 for insemination. I'm kinda excited because it's the best chance we've had so far. I do feel a little bad though because Dr. Haas is no longer going out-of-town since he's seeing me all weekend.

I'll post in the morning after my appointment to let you know how things are progressing!!!

    Great news! Looks like we are on the same track. I go in tomorrow as well and see how the progress was. Yesterday one follicle was 14mm and I have been taking follistim meds for the past 10 days. Tomorrow I go back and see how my follicle is growing. So they are saying Monday or Tues for the big IUI! Good luck. Praying for you! So exciting!

Meet Our Little Miracle, Paisley Kate

The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up ...

The Resurrection

 So here we are.  It's now a blog graveyard.  The followers have long since moved on and infertility is something that I've somewhat put in the past (only considering I don't want any more kids).  So why am I here and writing again?  What's the purpose?   This was my safe place.  It was where I came when everything seemed much too hard and I needed to feel comfort.  I wanted to express myself in a venue that others would reassure me and even understand me.  I still love and have always loved this blog.  It guided me during some of the hardest years of my life, dealing with infertility and miscarriage. And you know... I guess it will help me again now.  Because life is freaking TOUGH.  You know the phrase "I've went through Hell and back"?  Yeah, I feel that in my soul now.  I could have a blowout in the middle lane of the highway during rush hour traffic, manage to pull over my car on the side and call for roadsi...

Santa Claus

I miss blogging.  It's just that I'm trying to minimalize the busy-ness in my life right now because the holidays always make me overwhelmed.  Like I get a bit crazy.  All the gift-giving, shopping, parties, family, friends, drama, food, etc.  Sounds fun to most people but I just do better with simple.   And that word hasn't described my life since giving birth 3 years ago.  Sooo, I go missing from time to time, but I keep up with everyone else's blogs!   This was my mom's attempt at a Christmas card with the kids.  It looks like they were decently enjoying it but the truth is both kids were having fits for absolutely no reason.  She used it anyways. My ornery little stud-muffin playing on the stairs. Graham having a VERY rare fit.  I had to capture the moment. Sweet sibling time in pajamas.  Times like this one melt my heart and make me feel good about my decision to have two kids. Graham was tota...
