Blessing Baby Ty

Everytime I get to hear a father bless his child in church I cry. Hearing a priesthood blessing always makes me cry but when it's a father to his child it's even more special. I love that they get that opportunity and it's one they'll never forget. Unfortunately Baby won't remember any of it. :( So I am writing this to help him (and ME!) to remember. :)

Baby Ty was blessed on  September 6, 2015 by his amazing daddy, Justin. The people that joined in the circle were my Dad, my brother Jon, my brother-in-law's Jared and Evan, my uncle's Drew and David, and Justin's cousins Calvin and Clifton and Uncle Gene. And of course our awesome Bishop Jed Smith! We wanted to include SO many more people but they wouldn't have all fit! It goes to show how many people love our family and it makes me feel very blessed.

The blessing itself was very beautiful. Justin cried through the whole thing and I was worse. It's something I've been waiting to hear for a long time and it was perfect. I'm SO beyond lucky to have such an amazing husband who is worthy of his priesthood authority and can bless our children. I know this was just the first of many blessings to come.

Our little grey circles!

The transfer happened this past weekend!! Yay!! I'm sure some of you are thinking "Yay! What the heck is she talking about?!" Haha. As a reminder... The short story of IVF goes like this.  Step 1- Take a bunch of drugs to make my ovaries over produce.  Step 2- Collect the eggs via surgery.  Step 3- Fancy (and expensive!) doctors take Justin's sperm and inject it into the eggs in a little petri dish.  Step 4- We wait patiently while they grow.  The next step happened this weekend! They take the now fertilized eggs and put them back into my womb to hopefully implant and grow!! This is also the "moment of conception" for us. A woman will likely have lots of eggs fertilize in her lifetime but she doesn't get pregnant if they don't implant. So this is it! The funny thing about it is that Justin wasn't there. :( He had an appointment at work that couldn't be changed so for the rest of our lives we will be able to joke that Justin wasn't ...

Me No Likey

Oh where to start... In the "It finally started" post I said that I had finally started the process of IVF. (clever title, eh?) I also said that I hadn't really felt anything so far. Well, turns out I either jinxed myself or it was just too early to tell. I didn't have crazy effects, but one night I did cry all the way through "Master Chef" which is not really a crying show. haha. I also felt super "off" on Thursday. I'm not really sure how to describe it except to say just that. It was weird and I stayed in bed all day and cried and ate Blue Bell. I guess that's not the worst way to spend a day but it wasn't very productive either. haha. The shots got easier and easier to give myself up until I had to start taking the cetrotide. I only took it twice but both times it stung going in and lasted way longer than the others. No bueno in my book. The next new shot I had was the trigger shot. It came a day earlier than expected but that end...

Baby Troubles

One of the reasons I decided to delve into the blog world again was because of the journey Justin and I have been on the past few years that's finally coming to a high point and hopefully end. I share these experiences because when I started realizing what was happening to us, I searched online to find people that were going through something similar. So... The ailment? Drum roll please.... http://www.conceiveeasy.com/get-pregnant/4-signs-of-infertility/ This image isn't mine, but it sums it up pretty well... It's hard to deal with and people don't realize how many people are dealing with it. When I started sharing what I was feeling, people started coming out of the woodwork to share their feelings. It meant a lot to me so I figure maybe somebody out there could use my experience as well. So..  I've wanted kids my whole life, and I'm pretty sure my mom asked me for grand kids on my wedding day. (I was the first sibling to get married so she was...
