Big Baby Kicks!

I have to take a second to write this down. . . I was watching Dancing with the Stars on Monday night, (LOVE that show!) and half way through one of them did a dance to Hometown Honey by Darius Rucker and this little guy inside started dancing like he never has before!! I had my arm on my belly and I could feel it all the way on the outside!

  This is a big deal cuz Justin still hasn't felt the baby yet, so I have been waiting for his little butterfly kicks to become manly ninja kicks. But poor Justin wasn't home! I was so sad! Especially since he kept kicking hard like that for a solid 30 minutes. haha. I was super awesome. Justin was sad but I assured him it will not be the last time he goes dancing in the womb, so he'll get a chance to feel him. 

 Anyway, not much else to report, just that baby reminds me he's there all the time and I couldn't be happier. I'm sure it will get to the point where I'm ready for him to stop kicking and let mommy sleep, but it hasn't come yet. I'm trying hard to enjoy this half-awesome-half-miserable time in my life because I've been waiting for it for so long. 

 Well, I'm gonna get back to studying now. (I'm taking my big certification exam in a few weeks and I need to brush up!) See ya' lata!

I only add this cuz I think it's cute and I like to have pics on my posts. haha. And that's probably about what he looked like the other day. Maybe less angry but hey, I make that face when I'm kick boxing too, so it's all good. :D

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...

Next Step

I've been avoiding this post for a while now. In fact, a long time... I've been thinking about it since I wrote the post about our little grey circles that didn't make it. I like writing but the last few weeks have been kinda blah. I also think I've been a little hesitant because I've always wanted these posts to be super happy and chipper but that's not exactly how I feel. After the last post I did get a lot of really nice feedback, one in particular that made me feel extra good. My aunt is an incredible person and I love talking to her. She said to me that no matter how long those grey circles were my babies, they still were and I was allowed to grieve as much as I wanted. I think that kind of gave me permission to really cry and it made me feel a lot better. Thanks Kim. :)  But now we're on to bigger and better things. I can't lie and say that I'm super excited about this transfer. I think I got WAY too excited for the last one/first one and it ...

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 ...
