Drumroll please.....

Well whatdya know...after months of speculation and tireless hours of calculation...the results are in...two tiny little specs....one mama's boy and one daddy's girl...can't really tell which is which yet...but they're there...we had the ultrasound yesterday...secretly...mmuuhahaha (devilish laugh)...so it would be a surprise!!!well....Surprise!!!

So we went into the ultrasound a bit nervous...thinking if it was one or two....so they got the little probe up there and we saw one little smudge...with a little beating heart (baby B)...so in my mind i was thinking ok...one is good...then the doc said "how do you feel about twins?"...."i think i see one more"...ohhh boy... sure enough there was baby A...heart just beatin' away.. ...say goodbye to sleep as we know it...but we are very happy and excited to start this journey...we have another ultrasound in a couple weeks...so stay tuned...and a very BIG thank you to our family and friends for all your love and support...now we could just get some babysitters....

Update

So I am offically 5 weeks pregnant! Seems weird since we know the actual date of fertilization and implantation, but they still count from my last period! The first ultrasound will be at 7 weeks, that is when we will find out if we are having 1 or 2 babies! so only two weeks to go and we will reveal what we chose to implant! It has been fun to see and hear what people think we chose, thanks for participating in our fun survey! stayed tuned to find out the results!

What did we choose?

On Wednesday the 30th of September the Dr. implanted to healty babies to be into my uterus. We knew the sex of all the fertilized eggs, and we were able to choose what they put in. So give us your opinion, cuz everyone has one, of what you think we chose.

OUCH!

Let me just explain to you how uncomfortable and painful it is to have your ovaries stimulated to the point that they have 57 eggs on them! YES I said 57! And not in a whole month, which is a normal cycle where us women produce 1 egg, I am talking in only 10 days! I was so bloated and uncomfortable! And that wasn't even the bad part. I was so excited to go in on friday and have them taken out, thinking that the relief would come, Boy was I WRONG! That is when the painful part I refered to earlier kicked in! Thankfully I was asleep while they took them out, but I had no idea what I was in-store for when I woke up! Let me just say OUCH!

Thank Heaven for a wonderful husband that took care of me all weekend, bringing me meals in bed, and anything else I asked! Thank goodness I am feeling much better today, still a little sore but nothing like the last few days!

OH WHAT FUN!

You would have thought I was a kid at Christmas when this came in the mail! And most of you are wondering why on earth I was so excited to get a huge box of medicine. Well for us it is just one step closer to being pregnant! However I have been on the medicine for a week now and let me just tell you it isn't so much fun, BUT I know what the end result will be so it makes it all worth it.

Our whole lives are centered around Dr.'s appointments, and keeping track of what medicine we are supposed to do each day! Our nurse gave us this beautiful little calendar to make sure we stayed on track and didn't get confused!
The first needles are the ones for my bum! Which we will start next week, and I am not looking forward too. Cuz the little ones that I have been doing in my belly are bad enough! (which are the second ones in the pic) You can imagine my fear when I opened the box and saw a whole bag of the big needles, (the third one down) but thankfully we learned they are only to draw the medicine from the bottles.

I have to give a HUGE shout out to my AWESOME husband, who wakes up every morning at six before I go to work to give me my shot in my belly that I just can't bring myself to do! and not once has he complained. Other then the moaning when I turn on the light and wake him up :)

I do have to say however that when he just sits up in bed and doesn't even put on his glasses to stick a needle in my stomach does make me a little nervous! ;)

IVF & PGD

John and I are so happy to share that we get to start our family! We have wanted this day to come for a long time but have not had the means to make it happen, But thanks to lovely and genereous parents we are now able to!

As all of you know my Dad has Muscual Dystrophy. MD is a x-linked genetic disorder, which means it is passed from on generation to the next on the x chromosome, so that makes me a carrier of the disease. That means if John and I were to conceive natually our sons would have a 50 /50 chance of having MD, and our daughters would have a 50/50 chance of being carriers of MD.

MD =http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_dystrophy

Up until a couple of years ago, we didn't think that there was anything we could do, and we would just live with the possiblility that our sons could have MD. Thanks to Shelley and Cory and their hard work, patience and research we now know that there is something we can do!

And

PGD =http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preimplantation_genetic_diagnosis

we can bring healthy kids into this world! And we start the whole process September 3rd, and we couldn't be happier! So keep us in your prayers that everything will work out great and we can be pregnant by october!
