IVF Update - Test Next Monday

Today was my first day back at the office since the transfer. I wish I could just stay in a nice little cocoon and sleep until next Monday. That's right, next Monday, August 4th is my pregnancy test date. One more week to go. I'm really feeling very positive. Can't wait to find out the results. I started saying prayers to St. Gerard this morning with the nine Hail Marys after just like it says on the prayer card I have for him. For those that don't know, St. Gerard is the patron saint of expectant mothers. I figure since I'm carrying actual embryos, it is life inside me I'm praying for.

I haven't been able to post pictures, because the camera was left at my MIL's for getting pics of the kitchen remodeling. But the camera is home now and it has a full memory card, so I have to dump them on the computer and clean it up. So hopefully I'll have some new pics of Phoebe to post soon.

My MIL sent me a St. Gerard medallion last year to let us know that she approved of our treatments. I got pregnant that month. I hope St. Gerard blesses you as well!

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

IVF#2 - It Worked!!!!

OK all my Internet bloggy friends!!!! I'm pregnant with the best initial beta I've ever had!!! Could that mean multiples? We'll find out over the next week or two for sure. My initial beta was 660! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I want to cry. I was so nervous. I didn't want to test before I went there because of all the hcg boosts I had. And I was really starting to doubt if it would really work out or if I was going to have a major disappointment today. I go back on Thursday for a repeat beta and we'll see if we're doubling or better. Leo made a prediction last night of twins. I wonder if he's right. Of course we just want at least one healthy baby, but healthy boy/girl twins would be like winning the lottery. Of course we'll want to win the lottery to support them, but I'm like Scarlett O'Hara in that perspective - "I'll think about that tomorrow!"
