Where did the time go?!

Alright. I'm trying to repent of my blogging delinquencies and get some old ones finished! This particular post is about Justin's family meeting Ty for the first time! He was only 2 months old and we had so much fun! So.. here goes. :)

In September, Gma and Gpa Smith came out to visit! It was their first time meeting baby Ty and it was really fun!!!

Below is Gigi Hank and Gigi Joe and Uncle Ralpth and Aunt Pat. They drove all the way from Pennsylvania to visit!! (Dad and Cathy flew. haha)

Gpa loves baby Ty! This was his first time to really hold him. Look how little he is!

We went up to Provo River Falls and did some hiking.

They almost killed themselves jumping over rocks. Is this what it's gonna be like with Justin and his son one day? I'm sure it will be fun when Justin is trying so hard to keep up with Ty! It's not that Justin's dad is old, cuz he's actually pretty young to have a 31 year old son! It's just the idea of not letting your son beat you! haha. It will be fun to watch. :)

Gigi Hank! He loves Ty!

We went up to Bear River Lodge up in the Uintah Mountains just before you get to Wyoming. It was beautiful! We got to do some fun four-wheeling!

We couldn't believe it when we turned around and saw this beuatiful moose! Justin's dad actually asked me if they put fake moose up around the lake for tourists cuz it was so still for a while. haha. I said "This isn't a theme park! That's real!' It was actually neat! I'd never seen a moose up there before!

Gigi Hank and gigi Joe up by the lake!

We went to the Dinosaur museum and they had this super cool Taj Mahal made out of balloons! Neat eh?!

Justin took his dad up to the Y. I told him it was a tough hike cuz of how steep it was but of course he didn't believe me. Once he came back he changed his tune a little. ;)

OMG. Look at how little he is! We can't even put him in the bassinet anymore cuz he climbs right out of it!

Four Generations of Smith Boys. :D SOOO Awesome!!!!

LOVE

Four generations plus their better halves. So happy we got to take this!!

Little family photo!

Our sweet little sleeping baby! Nice photo bomb Uncle Ralph!

Bye GIGI!!! We love you!!

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 ...
