It's my party and I'll cry if I want to...

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to cry at your birthday party but Ty certainly did!! 


 He actually got two parties! One in Erie, and one at home in Utah. What a spoiled little kid! I didn't have as much time to prep for the one in Erie but I did take a ton more pictures! Sorry! Oh well. I'll share what I have and tell you the stories to go with them. :)


Cathy got a cuper cute cake for Ty! She ordered a big one for every to eat and the bakery she got it from made us a smash cake for free! Isn't it darling?!


This is the little set up I made for him to smash in! We decided to do it outside so we didn't have to worry as much about clean up. We had no idea how much he would or wouldn't eat, so we decided we'd rather be safe than sorry. Do you like it tho?? I made the blue hanging things all by myself with some fabric strips. I think it turned out cute!


What a cute face! I love him. This is before.. 


And this is the after... 


Cake doesn't go in your toes silly boy!!




Ty actually shares a birthday with his beautiful Auntie Ali! She loves it. ;) They had a lot of fun sharing the smash cake! hahaha


He was actually crying cuz she smashed it a little more. hahaha. It was adorable. 


And then daddy picked him up and took his away from his cake so he cried. hahaha. Also very adorable. 


So mommy got him all cleaned up and brought him back outside so naturally he had to climb in to the pool!!! (Where's that annoyed emoji when you need it...)


We changed him again and he got to go on a wheelbarrow ride with Ali. I told you he loves that thing!



Here we are opening presents from all our family out there! They were so generous and kind and he LOVES those toys now. They are definitely his favorite!!


This is the aparty we had for him back at home! We did a sports theme so there were basketballs and baseballs and footballs everywhere. And hotdogs to eat! Yummy!


This is the hall of fame I made with pictures of him through out the year. These are actually the photos I posted on instagram for when he turned each month. :)


This is the little subway art poster I made for him. :) It was fun! In case you can't read it... it says

This is the only pic we have of his cake smash in Orem. No worries tho. He REFUSED to touch it! hahaha. Not even once. Just cried like crazy. It's prolly my fault cuz I didn't do a very good job feeding him that day cuz I was busy setting up for the party, but oh well. At least he got one good cake smash!!


Ty's favorite present is his basketball hoop!!! Now that he can walk, all he does downstairs is put the ball in the hoop! So cute. 


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER!!!! 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 ...
