hurry up and wait...

It's been a long week. I started the Provera 10 day pills on Thursday and have 2 more to take. Then it's hoping for a period to start soon after the last pill so we can get out tentative plan and dates again for round 2. This whole process is HURRY UP AND WAIT. I am so ready and excited to do this and each setback makes it that much longer. I have to keep reminding myself to chill and remember if something comes up it was for a reason. My wonderful IPs send me a box full of yummy chocolates, a cute shirt, and a beautiful card. This box couldn't have come on a better day. It made me feel so special and now I have plenty of snacks to eat while I wait. ;) 

On Tuesday 10/16 - the day we were scheduled to transfer the IPs had a Skype call with our Dr. He was suppose to call me right after but never did. The IPs told me that from his call he thought I was on the meds too long and said that we need to be more flexible next time in terms of transfer dates (he said the one-week timeframe for transfer). This sounded great but since I never heard from Dr. myself I was still wondering what the next round would look like. I emailed my nurse and she had no info on their conversation and said she would follow up and get back to me. So again, we wait...

BOY or GIRL?????

Well, last night I had my 1st dream about the baby. I dreamed that we got our test results and found out baby Swiss was a boy. Today,  I stalked my email hoping the results would come. Baby's mom was excited but thought it might be too early and I was being super optimistic. I decided to call Quest while I was sitting in the car loop and they said, "yeah, we have the results and they were sent to your dr. yesterday." I told him I was signed up to get an email but had not gotten one yet so he said he would send them right over. 10 mins later my email dinged and then I was scared to look. I pulled them up and everything is PERFECT, normal, and negative. WE HAVE A HEALTHY BABY, which is of course most important. I quickly let the parents know all was good and we would call them in a few to reveal the gender. They were so happy and excited! I called my Dr. to confirm the sex and that all the results looked good and she said "YES!"  When we got home the kids co

Another Week Down...

Image
Week 35!!!! This past week I have had a lot stronger contractions, mostly at night time that will wake me up. My sleeping is off and on...some nights it’s great and I’ve even slept in until 9-10am and some nights it’s terrible and I’m wide awake until after midnight or for 2-3 hours in the night. So, looking forward to sleeping on my stomach again. My appetite comes and goes...loving veggies, watermelon, sour gummies, and drinking tons of water!!! Not really wanting any meat again! The pressure down below is intensifying and bathroom visits are at an all-time high, sometimes I’ll go, stand up, and have to go again! My boobs are huge, my belly is huge, it’s so hot outside and I kept stressing that my water might break when I’m out in public somewhere!!! I’ve been trying to stay busy with some house projects and making sure everything is ready for baby’s parents to be back here with us in just under 2 weeks now but I’m also making sure I rest and put my feet up when I can! I’ve stocked u

36 days or LESS...

The official countdown and Swiss baby watch are on...We are just 36 days or less from meeting a special little king! Thursday, I went for a weekly checkup and our first stress test. I have never had to do the stress test monitoring before so did not really know what to expect or what they were looking for. The reason my Dr. has us doing it is that baby boy is measuring above average and because IVF is a little riskier and my dr. just wants to be sure we are up to date and extra observant. Ultrasound looked great although he is still head and face down and very low so we probably will not be able to get any more good photos of him. So, we headed to another room for the non-stress test. I was hooked up and they told me I would sit for 20 mins while they recorded the baby's movements and how his heartbeat responded to that. I tried to lay very still and be very calm and after 20 mins the nurse and Dr. came in and said he was being very well behaved and quiet and that this heartbea
